Layout going through some revisions, so for the time being, we have the lovely Kisame here to make this layout work. Oh yeah. Kisa is so cute.

This journal is semi friends only (which means only some entries are protected), so if you want, you can comment and I'll add you. I'm not picky. I'm just avoiding random people from seeing things they don't need to see. :v

This layout features the artwork of Nat Dohma. He does a lot of Kisame art, and it all rocks. So go check it out. :v

Hey dudes, long time no LJ.

I've decided to come back if only to harass Monty on the rare occasion I'm not too lazy to get on and to have some place to dump writing practices. I want to get back into the whole 15 minute free write exercises, because I feel like my brain is rotting without a creative outlet.

Some new and interesting things I've done since last year:

01. Moved out of my old apartment in The Woodlands into a cheaper (better) one in Conroe. Monty's still with me, but Richard is here too.

02. Adopted a bunny. His name is Squidge Widget McBunnyface, but I just call him Bunnyface.

03. Started making more money. A lot more. Maybe it's just because I'm saving more? I don't know, but it's nice. Cheaper rent + rent 3 ways + more money = orgasmic. I'm totally saving up for a big television.

04. Started keeping the house way cleaner. I worry I'm turning into my mom. But my house smells like Christmas now!

05. Reading more again. Currently, it's The Stand. But I keep getting into these ruts where I'll tear through like 500 pages of a book in two days and then burn out. It blows dicks.

06. Saw my first "real" metal concert with Richard and his friends. While there, I wore my "For the Horde!" hoodie and had more than a few people come up and go "FOR THE HORDE!" in typical nerd fashion. Richard and his friend almost jumped one because they mistook the guy as saying "You're a whore!". It was amusing. (Bands were God Forbid, Municipal Waste, Children of Bodom, As I Lay Dying, and Lamb of God, btw.)

07. Been doing way better about cooking stuff at home. Or... snacking on home stuff. Yay, apples.

08. Turned 23. Ugh. Gross.

09. Considering going back to school. Still unsure of what to do - I want to do too many things.

10. There is no 10.

---

Anyways, free write of the day: )

Aaaand, that's it for today.

I've been working six days straight, and I am so glad I have the next two days off. Seriously, I'm about to collapse.

Vet bills for Squiggles and Sebi have been kinda obnoxious as of late, but I finally got them paid off, along with most of the bills (just need electricity and rent, diddly doo dum yay!)

Cleo and Lao Shu are being mailed off for their face ups tomorrow; Cleo's being done by Miss Meggilu and Lao Shu's being done by Miss Kym. I'd link to their respective face-up shops, but alas, not everyone has forty posts on DoA.

I also got my new guy in a few days ago; Saint, aka Vice is here and he's quite lovely.



He's posing with Monty's Anna (who's mold escapes me, it's some artist mold, Monty will come on later and fill me in!) because she's a succubus and he's a man whore. They have needs. Needs. Mmyep.

I got him from someone on DoA after hearing that Dollshe was going to discontinue their sculpts... or at least the way they were going to make them. o_O I've since heard something about faceplates, but I honestly don't care. I really really wanted a Saint and he's absolutely lovely.

This is pretty much what he was shipped to me as; the only thing I've changed about him are his eyes. Which I adore. But eventually he's going to have white hair and I'm going to either redo his face up or have it done by someone. And most, if not all, of those tattoos are going to go. :(

I'm going to miss my babies while they're away, but I'll have Vice to keep me company now. n_n

This week has been pretty fucking amazing all things considered.

+ Work has been really busy but I've been oddly okay with it. Sense of accomplishment, you know. That and a $802 paycheck for one week is always nice. Business has apparently paid off. :B

+ Cleo came in, a long with a bunch of nifty clothes. Photo shoots with Shu and Monty's little Id ensue. Much fun was had. Photos posted via the cut below. n_n

+ Fucking Dollshe decided they were going to retire a bunch of sculpts, one of which was SA Saint whom I'd fallen in love with earlier in the month. I had planned on buying him in March, but as the news came out, Dollshe pretty much sold out of every one of their sculpts, Saint included. Monty found someone selling him on DOA, however, and apparently no one wanted to buy him because his previous owner had pierced his ears. The fuck? So Monty went ahead and bought him for me, and I will be paying him back over March. n_n My Saint is being shipped out on Monday! ;D

+ Lindz got me into Metalocalypse, which I am heartily obsessed with now. This was mentioned before, but deserves mention again, as it has been making me exceedingly happy.

+ Heather from work got me addicted to Blue Rasbery Jolt. That shit really wakes me up. And makes me shake like a crack fiend. Mmm. Tasty.

+ I started drawing again.

Anyways, as mentioned above, here are some pictures of Lao Shu (AOD Chen), Cleo (Angel Fantasy Lily) and Monty's (Volks Sweet Dreams Piccolo).

And here we go. )

And that's all for the pic-spam!

I'm soooo happy because Miss Cleo finally arrived! I say finally, but she really didn't take that long to get here... a week? I guess I was spoiled because Shoesies came after like, three days. And I ordered him in the middle of stupid Presidents Day (read: fucking mail comes to a goddamn halt) weekend. ;.; Yaaay for awesome EMS. I totally don't mind paying out the ass for shipping when it comes to near instant gratification.

She's a Angel Fantasy Lily and she's absolutely gorgeous, even if she's running around completely naked, eyeless, hairless, and face-up less at the moment. This is made all the more ironic by the fact that she's now got 3 bloody outfits. o_O;; Apparently Angel Fantasy sends you a random outfit, two pairs of eyes, and a random wig when you order from them. Poor Lao Shu only has one outfit, but Cleo has THREE: two Lolita dresses (one I ordered from someone on DoA, one that came free with her when I ordered her from Angel Fantasy) and a punk outfit (half Another Space, half Dollmore) that I ordered for her when I ordered Lao's clothing.

Now all I need to do is wait until her wig comes in. :3 Until that time, I s'pose I'll be using the wig she came with, which, while adorable, totally doesn't suit her at all.

I think I'll do her face up today but have Monty do her eyebrows. I fucking hate doing eyebrows. With a goddamn passion. >_>;;

Here's a naked Miss Cleo with her very confused Lao Shu )

Don't mind the terrible image quality, I fail at using my already terribly cheap digi.

But seriously, aside from Cleo, I'm also ecstatic because I get my first days off in 6 fucking days and that's amazing. Work has been really busy as of late because we're short on groomers, but I suppose that, while I'm working late hours, I can't really complain; I've already made $490ish in three days and I still have the two busiest days coming up (Saturday and Sunday).

Rent is coming up but I'm not really worried about it as work has been decent lately. :3

Our apartment is also a freaking war zone, what with all these bjd boxes and scultping tools and face up materials all over the place, but frankly, it's a rather lovely place to be. n_n

Also, fuck you Lindz, you totally got me hooked on Metalocalypse. Now I can't think about anything besides that. v_v I want to marry Toki, he's so cute. :3

AAAAAAND. I get to order a zombie guy from Batchix! My super plot to make a WoW Undead bjd is going to be realized! *cackle*

Anyways, I've rambled on long enough. D: Toodles. <3

Today was a pretty awesome day. I skipped work because I had problems sleeping, and Monty accidentally skipped school by over sleeping (sleep is such a problem around here, I swear) so we decided to hang out all day and be awesome.

Chick-fil-a served as a delicious lunch after we went to go mail something at the post office; although Monty only ever eats the fries, so I feel kinda bad... but he seems to like them a lot so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad. We came home, paid some bills, and then went out to go to Hobby Lobby where we spent the better part of an hour browsing around, getting various yarns and things for casting a doll Monty is sculpting. We also picked up two BJDs sized chairs for our babies, along with some other shit I can't recall.

We went to the dollar store too, though I can't remember what for... glasses, I think. Oh, and a fancy scrubber for the diswasher. Smoothie King was visited for their delicious smoothies, but whoever made them fucked them up and I don't think they tasted very good.

And when we came home Monty started sewing a jacket for Akito while lounging about in my bed. In an effort to keep myself entertained, I stalked the DOA forums and watched a few episodes of Metalocalypse as per Spooky's urgings, and it was fucking amazing. Both Monty and I enjoyed it, so I had to order the first season immediately. I've been spending too much money lately...

Maaan, anyways.

Here's my first BJD that I got yesterday sitting on my lamp - his name's Lao Shu and he's amazingly cute.



My desk totally rocks.

Anyways, gotta go exercise now. Yuppers.

Totally pointless post.

So like a dumbass I ran out of my medicine again and the last time I had it was Friday night, so my withdrawl symptoms are pretty much kicking my ass hardcore. I spent most of the day being a fucking zombie, falling in and out of a coma, blaring "Passenger" over and over again. That song is so fucking sexual, it's hot. But I get more meds tomorrow so I should be rejoining the living soon. I really hate these goddamn withdrawl symptoms. Mmmhmm...

I'm considering rejoining deviant art sans my old moniker because I really don't associate much with my old wynterashes name at all. The only thing of it I'm still holding onto would be my msn name, and that I really wanna change too. Just too lazy to re-notify everyone again.

I also started watching Bleach with Monty, a billion years late. I got myself the box set ages ago, just never did anything with it. It's so funny; I haven't seen an anime in forever. It's so cute. xD

My Chen comes in tomorrow~! I'm so excited. My first bjd. And when I get my tax refund I'm totally getting his girlfriend Cleo. n__n It'll be so amazing. It makes me giddy. :3

I'm so cold. D: But so not tired. I can't even think straight...

Most of my day was a ginormous waste of time. Work was slow and boring, but I got to tease Lesley for being a gimp because she broke her hand tripping over her baby gate, which is both hilarious and sad. I feel bad for her, but at the same time it's so fun to tease her. I like her a lot; we get along fairly well.

I came home and didn't do much; ate lunch, napped some. Doodled a few things, made an icon. Getting closer to my icon dump. But the main point of the day was...

I finally started playing KOTOR I after Monty lent it to me some few days ago. And it's actually really fun. I'm kinda feeling my way through everything; not too far into the game, just got to some cantina place, and was kicking some arse in some duelist rings. I'm dual wielding right now, because it's wicked awesome looking. I also played a female character against my initial desires, but she's some cute little Asian chick and I wanna hug her. :3 I just can't see her as Revan at all.

Carth is a nitwit but he's not half as annoying as Anomen was; I guess that's the good thing about bracing yourself for failure. It's the opposite of looking forward to something so much that your hopes get let down; if you expect something to be utter shit, it's going to impress you if it's got any kind of saving graces.

And man, my eloquence today is lacking.

I wanted to see Monty today, but mum went off to get drunk with her friend and left me at home to watch after my little brother. When she came home she was asking me for help with her cell phone and she reeked of alcohol. God, I hate that smell.

Also, Greg's gay stalker is a fucking freak.

I'm so tired. I feel so worn out. I think it's because I accidentally overdosed on my meds and now my body isn't responding to the normal amount. It wants the overdose amount, so my withdrawl symptoms are kicking into high gear even though I actually took them today and it really blows. I need to break that habit.

Anyways, nothing much else to say. :v

PS - Monty had a bad day today; I hope he's feeling better.

PPS - This is the best picture ever:

Because Monty is so charismatic when he talks about things, I've fallen into playing Pokemon. I also happened to get a few other people into it, too, so it's just a vicious cycle. Between that and everything else, I barely even have time to sleep. But damn I got some cool Pokemon out of it.

I blew out my car's tire today turning a corner. It made a really scary noise. There was lots of flashing lights and death and blood and I lost three of my arms. Now I'm normal, with only two, so I guess something good came of it. I was on the way to see Monty; after some fat cop helped me change the tire, I drove the car home and had Monty take me everywhere. The day was pretty awesome; we had chicken and pizza and talked about Pokemon, World of Warcraft, Knights of the Old Republic, and Monty's obsession with Revan. I think that's how you spell his name. I should just call him Raven, tee hee. Oh man, listening to him talk about KOTOR makes me wanna play it too. He always makes everything sound so fun.

As a reference point, Monty wanted to see the WoW Preest Armors )

Also, I like my current userpic. Gengar is probably my favorite Pokemon, and I'm proud of the sillyness of it. Considering I made it in five seconds.

Jesus christ I'm so drowsy. I guess this is what I get for staying up so late. But I did get to get my Gible, whom I named "Teefs" and my Rampardos, whom I named Oderus, after Oderus Urungus from GWAR. Cause GWAR is love. Though he looks like he's about to break dance or start hip-hopping. Maybe I shoulda called him 50 Cent, but fuck, that music is awful.

Swallow the Sun concert coming up. So excited.

Also, the intarwebs are goin' real slow right now. I should probably stop downloading all this pr0n.

I shall once more return to my regular (well, for me) updates. Not that anyone particularly cares... well, save Monty anyways - but you know!

Richard's gone back to school again which means he has to go to bed at a decent time for regular individuals and this blows cocks. I am le sad because I am too much of a night person to go to bed early unless I have to be up at 0'dark thirty in the morning, so this cuts into a lot of our communication time and makes me cranky. I'm dealing, just waiting to properly adjust.

My boss is gone for 8 weeks at work and I am happy - we have a love hate relationship, her and I, and while I do like her as a person, we are often clashing over silly things (like my cell phone abuse). Still, there's no denying that work is much mroe pleasant when she's not around, because she tends to stress out easily, and stress is like bloody ebola - it spreads to everyone and kills them.

Aaaaaaaalso, Swallow the Sun, Katatonia, Insomnium and Scar Symmetry are coming to the Scout Bar on the 22nd of September and I am so fucking excited I can't breathe thinking about it and it's some 4 odd weeks away. ...maybe three, but I suck at math. Monty said he'd go with me which means I will be able to wallow in the bliss of listening to two of my favorite bands ever in live, ear-bleeding orgasmic bliss.

I got to see Monty today until his bitch of a boss kept complaining that he was on break for too long, so I had to scuttle on off before I got him in trouble. I did, however, have time to brag about the love I feel for my new stereo (an Alpine!) for my car. Since getting that thing I've been looking for every goddamn excuse to drive.

Ichy's sated me with so much new music lately I'm not sure I can handle it all. It's awesome how our music tastes are so absolutely compatible.

And... I don't know what else to say.

MONTY I LOVE YOU!

OH YEAH.

If I'm happy or sad. I have so many things I want to do - so fucking many - that I can't help but feel overwhelmed. I feel like I would be happy if I didn't have so many things pulling me in different directions.

I really want to draw. But I just can't concentrate because there is so much shit going on in my head. It's like trying to hear someone next to you who's whispering while you're in the middle of a concert filled with screaming people and pounding base.

Some days I feel really overwhelmed. Like, there's all this happy in me, but there's something on top of it all that makes me feel miserable, and the two mix together and I'm just confused by the end of it.

It's really fucking frustrating, really.

Blargh.

So, while browsing Something Awful (I'm still too afraid to post there; while people do seem friendly once you get past the insanely creepy mask, you still get banned too easily) I came across The Worst Fanfic ever. Seriously. It's some Harry Potter fic that comes up when you search Google for "the worst fanfic". The first option is some 4chan peeps talking about how terrible it is, but there's a direct link to the fanfic a few links down (gogo fanfiction.net.)

While it's probably a troll fic - it has to be - it's still pretty awesome.

With quotes like these, how could it not be? )

Yes. It's that awesome.

GWAR is so awesome.

Lords. For awhile there my Winamp wasn't playing any music; the only thing my computer was doing at all, actually, in terms of sound was playing random sound effects. No WoW music, no YTMND music, no Winamp music, and it was about to make me crazy. Luckily a reset saved the day. I can only wonder what this minor setback heralds in terms of my computer's dependability... which is already pretty shitty as is.

BUT I WILL DIE WITHOUT MY MUSIC!

Monty, get on AIM or MSN or something. Plzkthx.

I spent a good three hours this morning fixing my new Kisame layout for LJ; after which I decided I was fucking exhausted and promptly passed out for hours. I had some really fucking terrible dreams too, worse than normal. I kept trying to tell myself to wake up, but I couldn't. I really hate dreams like that.

But I'm in a decent mood, if only because listening to GWAR is fun. :v

All in all, because I got my layout fixed, I'm actually feeling pretty accomplished today. n_n This could also be part of my good mood. Aside from that, I got some cool Naruto icons, deleted some over dramatic ones I never use, and uh... yeah.

I want to go find more icons now. :v

Work was extra tiring today, despite not being particularly busy... it was more so because I was totally lacking in proper sleep, like always. I blame my nightmares on this and the fact that napping during the day makes it very difficult for me to sleep at night.

Even so, I got a halfway decent picture of Kiba sketched last night - I was so proud, because I got it done in less than five minutes, so any craptastical nature of it is voided by the fact that I didn't give enough of a fuck to spend any longer on it. I like quick sketching. It makes me happy. I'll probably ink it later and color it with markers for practice. Kiba is such fun.

I feel bad because Monty says he's disassociating from the good guys in Naruto, but I can't help it but feel over fond for almost all of them just by looking at them. Kiba and Shino and Shikamaru and Hinata are all probably particular favorites... I've been having urges to draw them all, and I can't say I'm complaining because it's actually something I'm getting around to doing, apparently.

I still want to draw Kisame, but I'm worried I'll mess him up. His facial structure isn't something I can just churn out that easily. Ah well.

Kiba drawing, oh boy. )

In other news, I downloaded the soundtrack to Saga Frontier and it makes me want to play it again. I love that game. It's so awesome.

So today wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't fantastic. I was booked solid with appointments but like, no one showed up because Texas weather is weird and it was raining and freezing and really cold. And it's fucking April. I hear about an hour north of here it was snowing and actually sticking. In April. In Texas. What the fuck.

Not that I'm really complaining. It was boring and little Heather and I made bows and talked about how guys in eyeliner were hot. Not exactly the best way to spend a Saturday evening, but it could have been far worse, I suppose. It could have been like Monty's day. Cold and rainy days scare away people who want to get their dogs all shiny and clean, but it makes people actually want coffee. :v

My torrents for GWAR, Tool and E Nomine finished, so now I'm snagging The Decemberists and the Deftones. I worked out this huge list of bands I wanted to get the discographies for later, but I lost it. Typical. I suppose I'll type it up on the computer later, because that's the only way I manage to keep a relative track of things. But I'm notorious for losing things on my computer, too, so. D:

I'll do it tomorrow though, I'm tired. And I have to be up early to go to work. v_v

I keep wanting to play WoW but I get home so late nowadays that I just am too tired to bother. I need to finish the grind to 60 and work on getting to 70 but it just seems so daunting sometimes I don't even wanna bother. I'll get there eventually, I s'pose. Leveling on WoW is infinitely easier than it was on RO. Even with our RO server's 3/3/3 rates. Our being me and Monty. Mmmyep...

So I'm going to try and get back into posting on LJ. Even if it's going to end up being a lot about WoW. And work. And stuff.

I had some stuff I wanted to say today, but I'm too tired to remember. v_v Go figure. I'm in a good mood though! Tired, but good.

I got to see Monty today for a quick dinner of cinnamon rolls and milk and vanilla Italian cream sodas. And my torrents are almost done downloading! Sort of. Well, few more hours. And then I'll have the discographies of GWAR, E Nomine, and Tool. Wewt.

Speaking of Monty, we get to go see Muse and MCR in concert next Saturday and I'm excited.

I need to fix my side bar I think, but I'm tired, so I shall do it tomorrow morning.
