So yeah, here I sit in my nice toasty room in my apartment, with the free heat cranked up. Outside the wind is howling and the snow is just-a-flying. We were upgraded from a Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard Warning, with upwards of a foot of snow flying tonight and through tomorrow! This is our first major snow of the year and only the second accumulating snow of the season (the first was Monday at about .25 of an inch).
So total snow forecasts are 8-14 inches, locally heavier with blowing and drifting snow to boot. Windchills will be cold and actually after the snow ends late Wednesday, we're looking at temps barely breaking 10 with lows below 0 and windchills around -20. :D
All in all, guess who gets to push carts tomorrow? (AKA shoveling AND pushing carts) |

[Nov. 26th, 2009|10:28 pm] |
Not much to report. Got up at 7:30 this morning and walked to work...it's real brisk out which kinda makes you go "okay snow, get here so it's purdy!". Made it to work and worked my 7 hours of boredom. :P Pretty much stood around, bagged 5 items/order, and watched the packers game. (Win, 34-12, rockin!) Of course when things were uber slow I had to go face up our frozen/dairy department...cuz no one was there. XD Heh it's fun on days like that tho cuz no one really gives a shit. :)
Anyway got a ride home from a coworker at 4 this afternoon and sat around. Didn't do any dinner really, mostly cuz well I wasn't hungry. :P Tho the other reason is because for some unknown reason my back is just killing me when I move in certain ways. Not sure what exactly it is...herniated disk? Bruise? Pulled muscle? No clue...oh well, hopefully sleep will help.
Anywho just gamed a lil, kept to myself and doodled. Speaking of doodling I really want to take commissions but lately my art isn't existent...I dunno what it is but I can't focus on one idea or pose. Perhaps it's time to go through my old old arts and redraw something.
Well anyway gonna go flop to bed. I work 9-5 and 8-3 on carts the next two days, both alone. Seriously, I'm getting tired of this lack of scheduling peeps...I hope we get slammed so I can shove it in their face. Night ya'all, eat some turkey and stuffing for me. |

Well, just got in back home better worse for wear. xD I gotta say there were a loooot of fun things about the con in general, but some slight downer stuffs to yap about too. So where to begin...
Saturday roomie ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kitwolf and I woke up a tad late...it wasn't all TOO bad really, but then having to find our other tagalongs' houses was kinda a hassle...and one of which well, I could REALLY bitch about HIM all weekend but yeah, I'll just leave it at that. XD So we got on the road by about 11:30 AM, hit Milwaukee around 1:30ish. We met up with Kit's BF ormseinbani and nabbed Culvers. ^_^ MMMM Mushroom Swiss burgers...
ANYWHO back on the road put us near the con by about 3 PM...tho due to going to the Hampton instead of the Marriot where we were supposed to be staying. (Silly TomTom). xD Well finally we made the con at 4 PM, got registered and wandered around. ALSO torrle I THINK I was walking up RIGHT behind you at one point with my roomie's pal in his fursuit buuut I didn't say anything cuz I wasn't sure. XD FAIL!
ALSO FOR ANYONE READING THIS: If you saw a guy in an orange T shirt, dark blue jeans, short fuzzy hair, and generally walking around with Sokka from Avatar or some rainbow and white colored dorky looking suit with tongue sticking out...THAT was me. :P HAI!
Anyway we wandered into the dealers room and artist's alley mostly poking around. It was REAL awesome seeing mirisha in the artist's alley... WHERE'S MY ART!? ;) (just kidding, whenev) ^_^ Her and I go way back. :D We then bumped into our pals Skippy and Magnus, as well as met Tazcat, Benji, Drake and his guy. We all went over and nabbed some dinner at the RAM across the way...if you saw the chick wearing the tail and paws, and the group of peeps at the table in the bar, twas us. :P Service sucked tho which was a downer. Oh well. XD
Anywho Kit wandered off to the Cub thang and left Arcade (the cool tagalong) and I to wander with her in suit. It was amusing to just walk around to be honest hehe. ^_^ Anywho around like 11 we went to see the Kage and 2 as the Cub thing sucked nuts (not that I know). :P We were sitting like 4 rows from the front, towards the right. :D It just so happened a good pal jousterl was like 3 seats over and tho sadly it was only a "oh hey gotta go" it was nice to meet him. :D SO beyond some other shits going down we just went back to the Marriot and (tried) to sleep.
Sunday we just got up angrily and wandered back to the con for final farewells. :) It was REAL cool bumping into haiablkdragon , Miri, Jouster, and a few others before we parted off. Ate lunch with Royce (Orms) on the way back at Chilis, Kit was/is coming down with something and had to get some Kleenex on a pitstop, then was busted by WI state troopers near Fond Du Lac doing 80...$200 speeding ticket. >_< Ouch, poor guy...not even a break or dropped 5 MPH...*grumble* Oh well...donate to Kitwolf to make him feel better! :D
SO overall, con was pretty fun. Wish I had more time to see everyone I wanted to (Torrle and CV) but it was fun to see what it was like and to go do it again someday...perhaps with a bat in tow. ;) THO I do wanna say that hotel sucks nuts...just too clusterfucked and small. XD (sorry I'm judging based on Anime Boston). However for the amount of time and overall cost, I give it a 6 out of 10.
SLEEP NOW BYE! |

Always fun to find out that your favorite teacher growing up and who taught you so much in school turns out to be...well this.
http://teachertrash.blogspot.com/2008/04/spring-grove-illinois.html
Appearently he took the divorce TOO hard. >> (note: My grade school was North Lakeland Elementary, they said he taught at North Lake...it was North Lakeland). APPEARENTLY this made national news too, with reports I find on CNN and such. >_< This guy was never like that when I was growing up, he musta changed in the last few years. |

Work gave me the days off, roomie found a hotel room, so we'll be there sometime Saturday through sometime mid Sunday, staying at some random hotel a few miles out from the con. ;) |
|
|
| No MFF for me :3 |
[Nov. 5th, 2009|10:27 pm] |
Hey ya'all. I figured I'd give anyone who I might have mentioned that I'd be at MFF a heads up that I won't likely be there. Some stuff came up regarding a few things. For starters the hotel that we (well Royce) booked ended up pulling some assdouchery and they wanted almost twice as much a night, for one less bed. :P Secondly Kit (roomie) found out he has to work mandatory overtime Friday nights (again) til Christmas. So yeah, even if we WERE to go it'd have been for like...5ish hours Saturday evening...and seriously driving longer than what would be spent there is kinda silly.
Honestly tho I think I wouldn't have gotten the time off scheduled ANYWAY. I talked to my bosses today and they said the possibility of having their head cart runner/bagger take off the whole weekend before Thanksgiving was not possible. Now mind you YES they'd have probably worked with me, but going through the hassle of it all is just not worth it. So yeah ya'all going to MFF, do have some fun for me. ^_^
Anyway in other life things it's just been a steady rotation of things. I work, I eat, I sleep, I repeat. Honestly things are going fairly well...finances are back to doable ranges. Mom still owes me $100 from that gambling fiasco but should pay me back very soon. Work has had me stressed as of late...but some of that stems from lack of decent sleep. A while ago I got a full size bed thanks to some friends. The bed, however, is rather soft and is causing me some issues with my back. I may just revert back to the twin that was much firmer...
Art is...stagnant. I was really hoping to make headway and whatnot with some new stuff but lately I try to draw and nothing comes to mind. It's like there's a lock on my brain for creativity. Perhaps I just need to not care what I draw or how it looks, and just do it. With this weekend not needing me at work, I may force myself down and doodle.
Of course some of the things going on may be due to minor depression. I've had this lingering loneliness and a lack of friends lately. It seems I say hi to most everyone online and they just kinda shun me and don't want to talk. It's frustrating on so many levels because all I need is that friend to talk to who will listen to me. Even if we shoot the shit about stupid stuff, at least it's someone ya know?
Anyway getting to be bedtime, one more day of work for the week! TGI(a)F! |

This has been a pretty shitty weekend thus far. >> So basically my mom and stepdad are on their yearly week vacation for mom's birthday and their wedding anniversary. Well they showed up in town on the last leg of their vacation and picked me up from work. The original plan was we'd hang out, they'd see the new apartment, we'd all go over to the casino where they were to pay me 50 bucks as a treat to gamble a little bit.
I'm now out $200+ dollars than what I expected. >__<
Let me explain:
Mom send me a text that they were playing at a casino down in Milwaukee and were breaking even. I figured all was well, okay they're doing their usual casino gambling whirl tour they always do. Appearently mom tried to send me this massive text of like way too many words explaining they busted and needed to borrow money from me to actually DO the casino thing. According to them I agreed and it was good. However, mom deletes all her texts cuz I don't fuckin know.
I got a text laughing about her age and how I teased her and I retailiated with a yeaaah suuure! Well she assumed that was in accordance to the borrowing of the money. So they get into town Friday night, go home, change and go out to dinner. They paid which should have been one of my big oh noes...they can never afford to treat. My mom and stepdad are ghetto poor. Their newest car is '94 and oldest is '81, and they smoke sooo much it costs a ton...plus they both have gambling issues. My mom not so much but stepdad is real bad...mom is a follower tho.
ANYWAY we hop in the car at 11:30pm Friday night and head up to the casino. We walk into the casino and they sit down and say "Well okay it's up to you now!" I'm perplexed and mom gives me the song of this lost text and how they were gonna borrow $200 bucks and would pay me back. Well we're already there and obviously stepdad was pouty cuz of his addiction so I just took it out of savings. >> This plummets my savings below $200 bucks and yeah...they played way too long and ended up losing ALL their/my money. >> We got home at 5 AM Saturday morning, slept four hours and cuz they were broke and had nothing else to do they up and left by about noon.
So yeah...I'm really pissed. I'm gonna have to slide by til 2 weeks from Friday. -.- I'm giving up gambling ever again as well...and I'm serious gonna wait for my money from my mom and stepdad and honestly not deal with them anymore much at all. This was an utter dick move and it's just...GRR. I've been thinking it was more of a ploy for them to have their fun and not care. :/
Sorry, I'm just not in a good mood now. |

So yesh...it's been a little while since I actually sat down and typed up an LJ post. The last one I did that was in all serousness was the Siege bitching out....which made me feel much better. ;) Anyway let's just dive in head first and see where it takes us.
( Cut for length, will you read on? )
Well there's really not much else to yap about. Things are good and I'm rather happy with stuff. I'm working as hard as hard can be, getting back into the swing of things at work. Random body aches suck, but tho I look at the tummy roll in the mirror I do have to realize I'm in the best shape of my life. :) I should do research about any good ways to remove belly fat. xD Anyway I gotta get dressed and head out to work. ;) Take care everyone!

| What I hate about Siege |

Yep, it's been on my mind recently...Siege. The guy who opened his house to me when I was in a time of need. As thoughtful as that may have been, it turned out it was for a much more devious thing. I've kept this pent up for long enough and it's about time to get it out and off my chest. You can have your own feelings on the matter. Like me or hate me from it, either way I don't care. If you're curious enough to read on, you've been warned...
( Lots of ranting ahead... )
So to sum it up: If you ever see, meet, or come across Siege or any of his character ripoffs, turn tail and head the other way. You'll save yourself a lot of EVERYTHING in the long run |

So yeah, just got back home from going over and doing an apartment walkthru at a new place with my roomie-to-be Kit...then went ahead and paid our security deposits! ^_^ We'll be signing our lease Monday and moving in July 17th. ;3 Shazzam! :D Pretty happy and awesome news on a day that could have been quite the opposite. ^^; Of course I have a feeling that one bad spot will be made better tonight. :D
So yeah go me! ^_^ Of course it'd be awesome to nab some commissions, give me a lil extra cash...(Hint hint). ;) |

| | dirty | ] |
So yeah, another week has gone by in the wonderfully wonderful visit of my mate felixpath so I felt it was time to recap! :D
So I worked last Wednesday and Thursday...you know gotta pay the bills and such. It was always hard waking up and going to work leaving my batty here alone...but he always got so much done and made me dinner and treated me like a kingfox. :3 He made a batch of his yummylicious chicken wings, and I've made a nummy stirfry a few times. ^_^ On Friday I had off so I decided we'd take the day to go shopping and explore Appleton. ^^ Much fun was had as we both bought random goodness for ourselves and ate yummy food, accumulating with HuHot. :D I dunno what it is but that place has some awesome foodness. ;3 Perhaps it's the fact that you're your own chef! ;D
Saturday rolled around and I attended a local furmeet that included mini golf and a movie. The batty opted out to not come along, so he could get some stuff done for the visit-to-be. ^^ The visitor was focswulfe_light, and the folfy stayed from Saturday eve up through Monday afternoon. ^^ We had lots of fun too, from awesome foods and conversation to mini golf, games and movies. ^^ (As well as other stuff that is of a different nature hehe). ^-^ Nonetheless we had a super awesome blast and we hope that we can see him again sometime...in my case sooner than 2 in a half years! XD Also we've been taking various photos and slowly but surely are compiling them into some groups to try and share with friends. :)
After the folf left Monday we just hung out and enjoyed one another more, and I went back to work on Tuesday. x3 Tho Tuesday night we hung out with Kit and had KFC, afterwords that night the bat had a very bad upset tummy and let's just say made a never-fun bathroom run...I too was not feeling all that great and called in today (Wednesday)...which was nice to just spend another day at home lazing and feeling better with my bat. :D
So yeah, not much else to report, hope to have more art to share sometime soon! :D Til laters ya'all :D

Mmmm the wonders of having a fruitbat to wake up to every morning is so awesome. :D So yesh, I figured I'd give a nice post on how the week has been!
Last Wednesday Kit and I took a trip down to the airport to greet the batty...it was raining out and stormy in Chicago so naturally they were a lil late. But thankfully he got here in one piece, luggage and all! :D We headed home and it wasn't long before we were happily loving one another up, reminicing about good times. :3 I had taken off Wed on last week, so I could spend time of him. Much fun was had with video games, art, good food and extra curricular activites. ;D I won't go into much detail about those cuz well hey, you probably don't wanna know. ;3
This week I had worked Monday through Thursday, which I mean hey it's a nessisary evil and you gotta pay the bills. But every night I had the batty to come home to, which was awesome. :D He'd give me the TLC I needed to wind down on a hard day. ^.^ And of course he's helped me stay motivated to draw, whipping out a bunch of arts for him!
Also I took him ala bus tour of some key stuff around Appleton I wanted him to see, did some shopping with him. :D Of course the accumulation to all that was going and having a nice meal at HuHot. If you've never gone to one, I really advise you do. It. Is. Awesome. :3 And tomorrow there's a local furmeet going on with mini golf, a movie and munchies thereafter. ;D As well as a good furry pal of ours is gonna come up and spend memorial day weekend here. ;D
So yeah overall it's been great. :D I'd go into more details but mmmm food comatose. :D |
