Buenos Dias!

Haven't written (well, I've written, but not really written, just random emotional stuff :P) in a while, so thought it'd be as good a time as any! haha

Lots of stuff goin on..

I'm no longer working at Walmart as a cashier (Thank you, God!!) I worked at a horse farm for a little while but due to gas prices, low pay, and no enough hours, I asked for a raise or more hours and was instantly fired over text message O.o
But enough about the past, immediately after said firing, I start a babysitting job babysitting my friends two little adorable boys at my home for 8 bucks an hour Mon-Fri (sometimes not on Wed). Best. Job. EVER! these guys are great and super easy, love to play chess and monopoly and go canoe in the little pond we have ( that's just big enough to hold a canoe..) fun job, although I'm "stuck" with having to stay (I hate using stuck, because I love this job, but you know what I mean? lol) and not being that big of a help with the millions of summer project my Mom has, regrettably, but I'm getting enough money to pay my cell phone bill and get money saved up, which feels amazing.

I deleted my facebook, which is a VERY weird feeling, but also a great feeling! my mind is starting to clear and I can focus on so many other things it's great! without that, I will probably be blogging, drawing and writing more anyways so it's a huge bonus! I miss seeing what people post, but this is the best option for me. I wound up addicted and wasted so many hours it's not even funny and it's mostly embarrassing...but enough of that. I'll probably start it up again after I'm over the addiction and have accomplished the things I want to this summer.

With that, I'll just list the goals and ideas I have for the summer

Goals:

-Learn Spanish (I know some but not enough)

-Finish editing my novel (it's completely done, just needs some revision!)

- Save up money..

and...

-Lose at least 25lbs (I'd like to go higher with the number but I want to start out lower so I don't fail miserably )

Those are my goals that I am focusing on, just four, for the whole summer. I really hope I can do it, but I know I can, there's nothing stopping me except my laziness which is one more thing I'm going to be overcoming this summer. (Pray for me if you can please ]
Oh, also as long as we're on the subject of prayer, I've got some REALLY bad anger problems...if anyone feels it on their hearts to pray for me about that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Alrighty now, onto more exciting things!

My art:

Okay, so I want to start figuring out how to make money with my art, if any of you want me to draw something for you, or color something or anything, let me know, please!! I really need to get this going

I have one project in the works and several more ideas. The one I'm currently working on is a character that I never set out to actually develop into a character, I just drew her, then wound up drawing her again doing something else...then again with my new project. So since she obviously keeps turning up, I'm going to name her and use her as my very first actual character that I draw repeatedly.
I think there's something psychological about her, like...she's the inner me, I always draw her when I feel depressed, happy, angry, cheerful, romantic, any kind of emotional that plays in the realm of the emotions that make us feel like drawing or writing or being extremely dramatic.
So I want to give her a name that fits that...but I'm not sure what, so that's another side project any ideas, please share!
Here are where she has turned up in my drawings:

Those are the only two and then the one I'm working on now. Probably going to be entitled "Soul Music" or something along those lines..

ANOTHER thing I have going on:
CosmicForceFilms (Copyright!) Is the name of my "filming company" I have a youtube page with no videos up yet haha but that will be fixed soon I hope. I need to get a working schedule going so that I can get that all working better.
I have a friend who has a band and hopefully will be able to get together with them sometime and shoot a music video. Excitement!! XD should be awesome and I'll post a link whenever I get that up and going.

*sigh* I think that's it.

In more personal news....
Yesterday, I was walking my dog (by dog, I mean a reddish brown/white 9month old giant [emphasis on the GIANT] malamute husky mix that's about 3ft tall and affectionately called Chewbacca for his brown color, big frame and loveable, furry body) and stopped to tie my thin hoodie around my waist. As I paused I kept a firm grasp of the lead with one hand as he was trying to pull me towards my brother and sister who were walking their dogs ahead of us. (He always wants to get in the lead, macho male type ) so his inner husky was pulling away--I haven't trained the excitement of "puppiness" out of him completely--as I was tying the sleeves around my waist. Chewy then decided to go under my legs and try to get around me, so without thinking, I pulled my left leg up to let his lead go under so I wouldn't get tangled up and just as I lifted my leg, he pulled again and I lost balance, falling to the ground and scratching up my leg. *sigh*
I have an incredible few scratches on my calf right next to the scar I have from when that nail pierced deep into my leg when I was five. Don't think I've ever had a scrape this bad before. Covers almost my whole calf...gonna be a cool scar though
It didn't hurt too bad except some stinging, and we continued our walk.
Then I heard my phone go off, I had received a few texts from what I guessed was my dear friend in Missouri. I pulled out my phone (which I had idiotically stuck in my right back pocket *slaps forehead*) and found the screen broken--no /shattered/. My heart sunk.
I wouldn't care so much, except that I'm completely addicted to texting my friend.
So, after we were done with the walk, I rushed over to my phone carrier's office and asked if they'd replace it. No they couldn't. Not unless I paid $5 every month for insurance, on top of my $60 (withOUT a data plan ) I already pay. *GRRRR* so, now I had to go get a phone. The attendant was very nice and informative, he said that it would be cheaper to either see if one of my friends had a phone that would work with my SIM (is that capitalized? or spelled sym? hmmm, I don't know ) card and buy it off them, or if I could just find a go phone and pop the card in that. So I looked at the phones they carried at Target, the cheapest was $15 and looked like it'd break easily, the next one up was $50 and looked annoying to use. So I decided to check ebay. My sister helped me, we looked and then emailed each other links, it was great fun!
So I bought a Samsung Eternity and I'm not waiting for the money to clear and it to get shipped here. SO if anyone texts me and I don't write back or get it, that's why...sorry!
I'm excited to get a new phone, but it's too bad this happened and I had to spend more money since I'm really trying to save my money. But oh well I guess, at least I had just got paid and had enough to get a new one, plus I still have lots of money (well, not lots in the big scheme of things, but more than there's been in there for a while)

So, that about sums up what's happened so far, without getting too in depth and more boring than it already is hehe

Well, I better get working on my drawings. Thanks for listening if you read this, and thanks for prayer if you prayed ;D

Adios!

Nearly all the leaves on the trees are gone..leaving the trees to look like dead sticks sprouting from the frosted ground, giving the whole landscape a look of cold dead, mysteriousness. The crows nest in the trees and mourn (or do they cheer?) the death of summer..or is it the birth of winter? whichever view we take, summer is now gone and winter is quickly approaching. We are now stuck in the cold, dead time between.
