While I'm waiting for the oven to heat up, I might as well make some sort of boring post.

For those of you who don't know, I've just had my first serious allergic reaction in many years. I've had hives for the past week, almost, along my inner thighs, calves, along the entire underside of my arms (concentrated in the crooks), under my chin and along my neck, between my toes, along the bridge of my right foot, on my fingers... and, yes, even in my mouth.

Do you know what it means, to have it in your mouth? It means you're actually in danger. I was lucky that it went no further than the roof of my mouth (my lips were swollen...), so I wasn't in the largest risk of suffocating. But, as you can imagine, it was kinda scary, once a friend told me what it could mean.

Either way, though, the hives are almost completely gone, and have kindly left, in their wake, scabbed, dry skin. I always did enjoy peeling skin...

I am very prone to sunburns. Once, after coming to school with one, a friend kept staring at me. After twenty minutes at lunch with her staring at me, she finally muttered, in an almost angry, compulsive voice, "I want to peel your face.... so bad..."

Speaking of sunburns, I got one yesterday from a mere fifteen minutes of being outside. Lucky me!

I'm going camping, on Friday. I think I might run around in my swimsuit, and scar the eyes of all the poor forest animals, and my family, with my thigh-hives. ohyes...

Was there a point to this? Obviously, not. But since the stove's buzzing, I must be off!

Om nom nom fish...

I just wanted you all to know, my vision is deteriorating by the day. Barely after five to six hours of being awake, my eyes become difficult to focus, and at ten hours, I need to make a tremendous effort to even see my finger nail.

I've found that the only way to even try to see anything on my laptop screen is to hold the thing up, and look with my face to the side, over my nose. As I'm typing this, I actually can't even see what I'm writing.

I found one way to give myself a short burst of focus. To see something for about twenty seconds on this screen, I need to look out a window at something far away, try to focus for a few seconds, and then look at the screen as quickly as I can.

Needless to say, it's not a good way to see by.

I really need a new pair of glasses, since mine are smashed. I can't risk putting my contacts in, with my allergies--they'd only put more strain and pain on my eyes, with stringy mucus building up under them within minutes of insertion.

I don't know how much art I will be posting from now on, since I can't even see to draw.

....

Love for those who know what song the title and lyrics are from. Extra love if you like the song and/or band.

I really, really hate fox anthros. And kitsune anthros. and any mix there of, or if they're even more human. I hate them. I'm sick of them. They're overused. I'm also sick of the people who will only RP them, and then scream at you if you're anything different.

I also hate generic wolf characters. And I hate generic cat/panther/cheetah characters.

Oh, and if you make your rat into something super generic, and don't even bother to learn about rats (just base it on stereotypes), I hate your character. On a side note, mice and rats don't like cheese.

I really hate people on Furcadia who call you your digo. continuing on that theme, I hate people on Furcadia who call you your avatar. I hate people on Furcadia who don't bother to even glance at your description, and see what you really are.

I also hate excessive desc tags. I don't care if you're [gay], or if you're [6'1], if your [mate: douchebag], or even if you're [in heat]. Describe your character, not your stupidity. Not only are desc tags a waste of space (you could easily have described your character in exactly what you were saying, in a much more eye-pleasing way), but they make your description a clutter and an eye sore.

So you want to call me an elitist, for what ever reason? Thanks for admitting I'm better than you, and you're pissed because you're too stupid to better yourself (and, infact, do everything in the whole world to make yourself worse..).

Part one of an ongoing hate rant. There will be more, once I get around to being annoyed once more.

I'm cooled down now. :>

Just a few quick notes on rules if you RP with me. (Which most of you will never do.)

1. No, I will not yiff/screw/fuck/have sex with you. Go away.
2. No, I will not be your mate/lover/slave/pet. Go away.
3. No, I will not tolerate your incapacity to properly type the English language. Go away.
4. No, the world does not revolve around you. If I ignore your character, too bad, stop crying. I will not bend around a storyline or the way my character acts just because you think that everyone in the world should worship you. Go away.
5. I reserve the right to drop the RP at any time, for any reason.

Hey! There's a new group on Sa.N! [link] Rodents!

If you are a rodent artist, draw rodent anthros, write about rodents (fiction or non fiction!), then join up!

........ wow my plug sucks. xD

Join.

Also, I'm taking Latin back up. I used to study it while in school--but had to give it up because of bullying in another class, and having to take the class up in latin's time slot.

So, I still have my old Latin books, and will be working on the language once more. If anyone is any good with the language, I'd really enjoy help! Thank you.

Well, father has screamed at me, literally, twice today. Once over thephone, once in person, and he plans to have a "talk" with me (Him?Talk? His 'talking' voice is so loud and forceful it makes me cringe.).Threats have been tossed around for the past two days of taking mycomputers away...even though at least one of them does not legallybelong to him...and, even better, he's currently getting drunk.


So, forwarning. If I don't come online tomorrow, expect that I mightnot come online for months. Last time he pulled this bullshit, he tookmy computer away for well over three months, and then utterly limitedme to barely an hour a night, thereafter, for a month.

And since my art happens on my computer.. guess who's newly developed skills go down the shitter?

Because I am full of myself, let's do a FAQ... while I should be going through my messages. D



How old are you?
Eighteen. :> No lies!

How tall are you?
Tall...? I'm short. Like.. midget!

Are you a man?!
Why, no. :3 I might talk like one, dress like one, and often be mistaken for one (online), but I am most certainly a girl. I have the boobs to prove it. (though I do enjoy fooling people in to thinking otherwise online...without even trying. It's amusing~)

Will you do free art for me?
No. And the more you ask, the less likely it becomes that I might ever make a gift for you in the future.

Why won't you draw boobs on my reptile/avian/non mammalian, not mythical creature?!
Because I do happen to believe in a certain degree of realism. I like to try to keep things anatomically correct--and guess what? Birds/reptiles/whatever just don't happen to have boobs!

Why do you charge extra to draw wings?
Because they're a pain in the butt.

Can I use your art (that's not for me)?
No. You may NOT. I don't care if it looks similar to your character--it's not yours. It's mine, or the person who commissioned it, or the person who I gifted it to. So lay off.

Why won't you do art for (insert insanely cheap amount of money)?
Because I believe I'm worth more than child's pay. I've been working at if for over eight years. If you want to be so cheap, go commission a beginner, or learn to draw, yourself.

Are you single?
No. Now, seriously, back off. I'm so sick and disgusted by random people flirting with me, and trying to get into my e-pants.

Who's your boyfriend?
That's not your business.

Why are you internet dating/dating someone in a different country?
Love can go to anyone, anywhere. There are no set rules on who/how you must date. I have who I have because I care for him. I've never found someone who can affect me as he does. Also, I think relationships started off irl are very shallow, more than half of the time. I dislike them.

Do you plan to take the relationship into irl?
Soon enough.

Can I have your cell number?
No, but you certainly can feel free to hop on skype/yahoovoice/teamspeak with me. I do enjoy talking with others, after all!

Will you draw my character nude, in a sexually explicit way?
Absolutely not. I have a reputation to uphold, and no amount of money could get me to ruin it. I do not feel like someone, in the future, bringing it up, or having it affect my job and/or family.

Will you have sex RP with my character? I find yours sexy...
Two words: Back off.

Y wont u tret me leik a humn??!?!?!?!
Because net-speak and general lack of education disgusts me. You were given an education, so act like it. Until then, you are nothing but dirt.

Why are you so uptight about peoples' English?
Because it is well within their power to at least try to type correctly. My stepfather is dyslexic, and yet even he puts the effort in to looking educated--and succeeds! Almost none of these people have such problems or disabilities, so they should be held to the standard they were taught.

Why didn't you do my commission?
I probably forgot. What's it matter, though? It's not like I ask for payment up front. I've never asked to be paid until at least some of the work is done--and I usually quickly complete a work, once it's started. So, unless you paid, stop complaining. I only forgot because you didn't remind me, ya?

How long does it usually take you to complete a work?
Honestly, times vary, a lot. but it's rarely anything more than five hours.

Well, if you can complete a picture so fast, why do you think you deserve to be paid so much? Good artists take DAYS to do work!
Excuse me? .. It seems you have some brain damage, doll.

Why do you hate soandso?!
They've probably done something they're not telling you about.

What do you think about furries?
I think they are some of the most stupid and closed minded people I know. :> Not all, but a lot of them. Even though I am technically a furry myself, I honestly can't stand most other furries. In a sense, they are no different than a small Christian town, in their opinions and the way they express their beliefs. But then again, that is the same with all large and growing groups.

How can you say that, when you're a furry?
I'm not really a furry. I am, but I'm not. I would never run around, spreading furry ethics in my real life, and also wouldn't push furriness on other internet communities. My main thing with furries is merely because I enjoy drawing them, and designing them. My favorite design just happens to be the persona I use to cover my internet face.



Feel free to ask questions.

Well.. holy shiz.

I am burried in messages. Completely. And.. Oh shiz.

I'm a bit overwhelmed, at the moment. Recently, I've gotten so many messages, on this site and on other ones that I post my art on. So I'm sorry if I don't reply right away. >: I promise I will go through them all within this week. >.<;

I've also, oddly, become the co-manager of a budding paper called The Fluff, a non-profit, furry oriented internet news paper. So I will have a good amount of work to do, from now on.

In fact, at the moment, it is encouraged that you get in to contact with me at this time if you wish to be a reporter of sorts, or if you have perhaps suggestions on articles. I will be the main person who looks over any persons interested.

You'll have to talk to me eventually, anyway. >:)

Uhmm.. Oh, right. This is the site: [link] The current articles up are only example articles, of what we are looking for our reporters to write.

My ad on Furcadia Forums that explains what is needed in a reporter.

Uhmmm.. Oh! Right. Commissions are so closed right now! I'm so sorry, but not only am I too burried to bother, but I am just not in the mood, at all, to.. well, be bothered with such work.

Of course, you can bribe me. ~_^ Paypal only, in that case. I need to start saving money....



Anyway. I /do/ check all of my PMs, even if I do not reply right away. So if you need my immediate attention over some pressing matter, go ahead and PM me. I will reply as quickly as I can--comments are not going to be replied to as quickly.
