Nearly 20 Years Later
Good Lord how has the coding of this website never been updated? It's almost nostalgic, and rather archaic.

I outgrew Gaia Online a very long time ago, and only thought to check back in when my husband brought it up. There was a lot unsaid but a lot less abandoned, so I am leaving this journal as a momento and a signpost.

I still draw, although I have a lot less free time. This year will be Andy's and my 16th wedding anniversary. I largely hang out on X and dabble on Bluesky. I am involved with vtuber communities and I am a contributor to my husband's YouTube channel.

Be well.

Eugh. I really wish I had happier things to report. Warning - long entry.

I'm still glad all the Exterminatus Now stuff went smoothly - The EN blokes have been great toward me when I was trying to cover for them a little. I don't worship the guys, but it means a lot to me when people I do have admiration for treat me kindly. Cheers, guys. It's helped me a lot.

Other than this though, things around here ain't that wonderful.

I just feel so freakin' ill.

I blame a lot of it on depression and stress. But to do that I have to find something else to blame both the depression and the stress on.

Well, the collapse of the family business was ugly and we salvaged what we could into a new one which we are still trying to get off the ground. I myself wouldn't be so worried about this if I weren't tryingto take care of my father and grandfather. The stress of the success of the new business is quite a lot on my mind.

At the same time I'm still plodding along trying to do as much art as I can. Still drawing the pages for my mangas, trying to get them to the right quality for publishing, size and covers and all. Tha's taking it's toll. Then the request work. Stress there. I'm also trying to get artworks done for prints and possible t-shirts, plushie and t-shirt and wallscroll merchendise for my comic group Slightly Out of Order. Getting long in the tooth there. I've missed a few deadlines with some work and I honestly don't care if I have lost a job with someone recently - nothing against the guy, I just don't have time for it and I have too much on my shoulders.

There is so much art I have and want to do, but I've also been hit with a maptruck of artist blocks. If anyone wants to help dig me out I'd appreciate it. I have art pieces and many sets of work I want to put togther, and I'm enthusiastic but why is it so hard to actually do something about the blank artbook right in front of me?

I've also been very cold this winter. And I do where jackets and sweaters and the lie but underneath only my thin long sleeved shirts in order to hide all the scars and still healing cuts on my left wrist - the fecking things are taking forever to go away... I don't need to run into father at any time and have him question me about it. Sigh.

Did something scary lately too. When I'm stressed, I toss and turn a lot when I sleep. I have hair that is very thick and have about three times as much as any other person on my head. It's also exceptionally long - right to the small of my back. Day after day when I try to come it or brush it, it gets harder. I don't fix any of the knots but wow does my hairbrush fill with hair. Now, the scary thing. I had to introduce scissors into the excercise. I didn't cut much, but I had to so lots of small snips... okay, I started with small snips and then I was cutting out chunks of hair... some of the knots were, well, very veyr big, and knotted and mattered so thickly they were as solid as a Snickers bar. And now, I have an alarmingly large pile of hair on my desk. Because aside from what I cut out and then brushed out, my hair is falling out too. Now, this is today's pile. I also did this trick exactly one week ago. And when viewing my hair as I walk around, since I don't tie my hair up, it's amazing how unnoticeable it is and how much hair I can lose and still have so much left over. That's the scary thing. What's scarier.. is if this keeps happening...

Oh yeah. I fainted again too, this arvo. Was out for quite a few hours. I need help. And I ain't swallowing no pills that'll mess with my head.

I remember bother reasons I hate winter.

1) It's cold. And rainy *shakes fist at friends in Wales* Take your nasty weather back!
2) I nearly ALWAYS get sick for a little while. Usually caught from someone else.

The wonderful thing about working at home as a freelance artist, doing my own stuff and then taking on art requests is that even when sick sitting at the comp doesn't knock me around nearly as much as physically moving around doing stuff, so I can still get some work done when sick.

Lately I've created a few new artworks, but some are of a nature that I think the real people featured in said artworks wouldn't be too fond of me if I posted the images outside of our private forum community. As of such, you'd have to go to my forum Slightly Out of Order and go to my wallpaper thread to find them.

So I'm still plowing away with the legal terror that my step-mom created in her wake. Recovering from that. Getting better from a flu that knocked both energy and sleep out of me until I took flu caps to allow me to breathe.

And just today I finished an official comic for the webcomic Exterminatus Now. Appears I'll be doing the next one too. Yayee smile Cheers to the EN guys that do it the rest of the time. Glad to help out.

Lesse, Anything else? Oh yeah. Yesterday, 29th June was Slightly Out of Order's first anniversary as a comic group with forum. Happy birthday/anniversary to us!

Here's to another year of fun ^_^
