I'm so excited! I got my bus tickets all ready to be printed out, and I'm packing up/cleaning up my apartment for the trek over to the bus station. I haven't been home in awhile, and it'll be really nice to get away from Richmond and be back in good ol' Northern Virginia.

Our last pet frog also died a few days ago, so I'm getting back just in time to see him off. ;w; I LOVE YOU PATSY/JON-JON. YOU TWO WERE THE MOST FAT AND CUTE FROGS IN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.


I've never been in a Greyhound bus before, so hopefully it's a good experience. I prefer trains SO MUCH to busses, but... train tickets were sold out, and there are only one set of tracks up north. orz
_{I hate how it's first-come-first served. Honestly, if I don't get a seat when I go AN HOUR before departure time, I'm gonna choke a bitch.}




I've also decided (after a few weeks of contemplating) to take a brief one-month hiatus from posting artwork on dA. I'll spare you the weepy emo details, but in short I'm not happy with what I've been posting, and looking at my gallery makes me a bit angry at myself.

I'm a member of a secret santa thing with a few friends, so posting that on Christmas Eve will officially mark the end of my hiatus. I'll work hard on it, so I can be proud of what I post.


Commissions will still be accepted/finished as per usual, but I won't post them until the end of December or next year. Notes and comments will also be answered, and the kiriban will go normally as well. c:


So in short, just don't expect anything to be posted until the end of December. LOL.




And for some entertainment, here's a pencil sketch I did last night (that might be finished sometime? WHO KNOWS )

I don't think I've mentioned this before.



I hate my internet. I hate it so much.

My internet = supposed to be "reliable" and "high-speed", and cheap because everyone in the apartment was supposed to pay $100 and have everything set up for them, including a password so freeloaders couldn't get on.


Guess what they never did?

<sub>In addition, my communist internet reminds me of Obama's healthcare plan. EVERYONE PAYS AND GETS A SHARE.
Except that not everyone will pay, and not everyone who pays gets a share.

Working out well as the real thing will, I think.</sub>



It's so bad and slow, it disconnected three times when I was looking at Verizon DSL. Orz. If I were a cutter, I'd probably cut myself. LOL. It's to the point I have to use my iPhone to internet tether almost every day, as a buffer to being disconnected.



So yeah. I don't think I'll ever be able to do Livestreams unless I stay late at the school (which I might do-- the library is open really late), but just don't expect it often or anytime soon because of the internets.

And maybe communism. Blame communism.


And NOMURAAAAA. e_e



_{Have I ever mentioned I have almost constant reoccurring nightmares about a communist America? LOL. This started when I was a kid, since my dad flew missions in the Cold War and told me lots of great stories.}

A really delayed one.


As of 2005, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, not a spiral galaxy. WHY DON'T PEOPLE TELL ME THESE THINGS? I feel like I've been living a lie since 5th grade.

And apparently we're on a crash course with the Andromeda Galaxy.




RANDOM FACT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER K, AND THE NUMBER 9.




_{LOL just felt like knocking down the other journal.}

I'm sure no one will notice that much... but I'm no longer displaying my MSN screen name on my dA/FA account, thanks to a a certain idiot who will go un-named.

If you'd ever wanna chat, just send me a note. C:

_{IGNORE THE REST IF YOU DON'T LIKE RAAAAAGE.}



To that person dumbass:


My father's family fought tooth and nail to escape from Russian in the 1850's. Don't you fucking dare insult them, or any other Russian Jew who had to either leave or face torture and death. No father deserves to have his children murdered and their wife raped and killed in front of him.

My mother's family moved to America from Europe for opportunity, which they got. They didn't have to live under Soviet oppression, and got to enjoy living and working in this country.



Don't you EVER call me a dirty Jew, you son of a bitch. First off, I'm Catholic. And before that, I'm an American. You and your bigot fake absolute monarchy can go rot in the fictional South American jungle where you claim it is.


Don't you ever try to contact me again, or I'll make your life a living hell.



Oh! Also, your made-up country couldn't have possibly invented telephones, because AMERICA (and the amazing minds who immigrated there) got to it before you. Nor did you invent lightbulbs, or electricity, or any other fucking thing you claim "your people" did.

And capitalism is the reason those things were even THOUGHT of, let alone perfected and produced. Go back to your fake fantasy world, you facist cur.



Thank you.
