Not a bad one this time :3 Dan is coming down on Sunday and will be here till the 11th. So I won't be around at all (not like I was anyway for anyone to notice) but just so the few that do care, know where I ran off to when you don't get journal updates for 2 weeks. Hopefully when I return from the hiatus, I will be alot more motivated for art. GO ME! Dunno what we're gonna do for 2 weeks, mostly eat, be lazy, watch movies, and play guildwars haha.

Right now I'm waiting for my lazy mom to get up so I can go tend to my poor car...want to make sure it won't explode when Dan's here haha. He's already not looking forward to being in that death trap Also gotta run to the store to get some things. Aaaaand I need to clean my room up. It's all being put on delay cause of my lazy mom >:I

My tooth-hole is healing perfectly. Pretty much healed, just waiting for the stitches to come out. I quit taking the antibiotics yesterday too. Got my appetite 100% back cause of it, so yay for that

Heard about Michael Jackson dieing yesterday I'm rather sad by it. I mean, I can't say I'm 100% surprised, cause his body was probably very unhappy with him for all those horrible surgeries. But he was still so young.
I'm sad because I grew up with his music, my first band concert I played was Rockin Robin..me and my sister had made up our owl little "dance" or whatever to his song Smooth Criminal. He was untouchable as far as a music career goes...inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, multiple Guinness World Records achievements ("Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career — more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.)
I personally think he did start going downhill at some point. I don't necessarily believe the sexual child abuse he was accused of..but I believe his state of mind was a bit altered due to his childhood. He never got to really have a childhood because of how his father was, and then starting a music career. He still had a child's state of mind and found comfort revolving around that. I just think he was incredibly misunderstood..so his reputation started falling cause of it. I also think all his plastic surgery was tragic more than anything. Back in the days of Bad and Thriller, he was a good looking guy. I can understand his state of mind of WANTING to change his physical appearance..but I don't think he should have went through it..kinda ruined his good looks altogether.
He will be missed though. He was booked to do 50 live performances as a "come-back" tour before his retirement. He'll be missed, and I wish I had the chance to see one of his performances back in the day. Perhaps I'll do a tribute art for him sometime.

Oh, one last thing...I plan on opening my contest tonight or tomorrow...want to get it started while I'm away. I'll announce it in my contest journal when I do.
Still open for new donators for my contests as well, you can still enter the contests if you donate, it won't make a difference.

Edit: Air conditioner guy was able to fix it today Needed a part replaced that he had and some more freon. The house is now tolerateable, but not normal. Should be there by dinner Now to spend this week cleaning and healing. Maybe I'll celebrate by doing some pixels :3

Yeah, got my dental crap done on friday, leaving myself not able to eat a whole lot out of fear of it getting in my tooth hole, also still being a bit swollen and sore where the tooth was pulled. The antibiotics leave me with little appetite, so I barely been eating, making me lose weight that I don't need to lose.

AIR CONDITIONER BROKE yesterday around 5pm. Since it's sunday today, we can't call anyone till tomorrow. It's 93F outside and 95F IN THE HOUSE. My room being the warmest, it's pushing 100, even with 3 fans going. Chances are, tomorrow when we call the repair people, they either can't get to us tomorrow, or the problem will take a few days Sucks when you can barely breathe in your house.

Leaving a restaurant today, I fell down the steps and scratched up my leg pretty good to top the weekend off. Stings like hell still.

Air or not, I gotta do alot of cleaning next week for dan's arrival...man won't those 2 weeks be a relief from all this.

I'm so miserable right now D: Can't do much either, cause my computer is kinda overheating as it is. Gonna have to keep it off tonight. Someone shoot meeeeee

Had my first dental procedure done today Got my front tooth fixed..looks so much better now. I just need it to have a crown later and I'm good with that. Pulled my back one that was pretty bad (couldn't afford a root canal/crown for it)

They gave me an oral sedation, which is more of an anxiety reducer than knocks you out. Then they have the oxygen mask on ya..which is what knocks me out LOL. Was aware of the shots they give you to numb you...didn't feel those at all. Heard and felt him drilling or whatever, but it wasn't bad. He's a wonderful dentist <3

The sedation stuff made me barf though. During the procedure. I let him know, cause he was expecting it lol. Guess that's why they tell you NOT to eat or drink 8 hours before. Thank god I did..or else I'd have prolly choked to death D:

Had another...weird experience...Near the beginning after I was pretty out, I had a horrible panic attack. Everything was involuntary and it was extremely scary. It was a feeling like my body was saying "something is wrong" like if you were dying on the operating table D: That's the exact feeling I got..that I was dying and my mind and body freaked out. At that point a could only half see, looking up and the doctor and nurse "is something wrong, and you ok?" while I was grabbing at the nurse beside me, hearing my vital signs (pulse) on the machine increase alot. Next thing I remember, I was laying there, kinda shaky, the nurse holding my hands and apparently I was crying. It was all 100% involuntary, too. It was also kind of a feeling of dejavu..can't really explain it. But it was extremely scary. I was fine after that. Still don't know exactly what happened, or if my body really didn't like it that much that I was dying. Scary thought, eh? Anyone know?

I was pretty aware when he was pulling my tooth as well. Didn't even know he did till he told me after he was finished haha. He cad to halfway cut it out though, so I has 3 stitches Hopefully all of that will be healed by the time Dan visits.

Surprised I don't feel any pain 0_o Then again, my CHIN is still numb...

Been a bit disappointed in this place lately. Dunno what happened to all my watchers D: The reason I do art is to show it to people who would like it. But if no one is around, I don't feel I should even bother. Which is why my art is dead.

COME BACK GUYS! I MISS YOU!

I'm very disappointed that I got next to no feedback (meaning 1) on my Vegeta picture..which I like to think is my best work yet. Sure does break my motivation horribly.

I think until this turns around, I'll only be working on personal stuff. Anytime I try to work on something for someone else, the lack of motivation for it makes it to where I actually can't draw it. So..sorry guys I owe things to. I'll get around to it..but when things pick back up here.

I won't even bother posting things about my life outside dA. No real point right now, right?

Got a new computer this week. Quite the upgrade and everything works great, minus a faulty stick of ram. But even so...1 stick of 2gb ddr2 ram is as good or better than my 3gb ddr ram. biggest upgrades was going from a single core 2.8ghz cpu to a dual 3.0...and a 7800GT graphics card to a 9800GT. I get alot more frames in games now, as well as able to run games on high flawlessly. Pretty nice.

I did spend 15 hours thursday working on it...took a while to figure out that the reason my computer wasn't working at first was the memory. Then figured out my method of installing windows (installing windows 2000 then upgrading to xp..since I don't have a bootable xp cd) couldn't work, cause of my pci-e slot being too good. SO i had to move half my stuff back into my old computer..not able to boot my hard drive at all..having to use my old 20GB hard drive and spend some time making a bootable XP cd. Afterwards, taking all day friday getting my 80GB hard drive fixed and windows on it.

I'm still sore from being hunched over my computer for 15 hours STRAIGHT (no break) But if it wasn't for Dan helping me out, I'd still be working on it right now.
Speaking of which, Dan (also known as ~Grisendrin ) is coming down to visit the end of June Rather excited.

Also, I almost have Vegeta finished. I'd say 90% done. Need to get things settled with my computer still, though.

Char, if you read my journals, I'm getting more of your stuff scanned and such as soon as I get my scanner installed again ^^ I feel terrible for keeping you waiting...

Well, I'm not feeling too well. Until next time.
