Thanks for your support everyone! I'm starting to get my head wrapped back around my life again, so I'm doing better now.

Unfortunately, I found out recently that my grandma who has been on a ventilator for almost a year had a heart attack, and she may have blood poisoning. Also, she has terrible blood pressure, and numerous other problems, and things aren't looking too good. I'm also having a lot of work from school pile up, since it's near finals, and I'm having financial trouble, and I'm wondering if I'll be accepted into a very exclusive major here at UCLA, and it just seemed like everything was unfixable.

I'm still stressed, but I've got stuff back in perspective.

For those of you who pray, I'd appreciate prayers for my grandma and family right now, it's been really tough on all of us.

I'm feeling pretty depressed lately. I have no one I can really rely on, and my life is breaking down. Every time my life seems to level out, a disaster occurs, and I've got no one to lean on who really cares or understands.
I don't want any words of comfort, because nothing actually does get better. Eighteen years later I still have no one I can really feel will be there for me. I want to have a good long cry, so if anyone has angsty, emotional fics or pics I'd be much obliged.

I have WAY too many artists I'm watching, and I can't keep up, so I deleted everyone. I'll be re-adding friends as I think of it, let me know if you want me to add you since I can't remember everyone's usernames from the top of my head.

It's true. There was so much I should have done over my spring break, like send in my tax stuff, upload pictures to an account, and prepare my Design Major application. Instead I sewed my Seras cosplay and ran around with Todd and Carla (~Verndead4 and ~Lorthide). But for the record, my Seras cosplay is amaaazing so it was worth it! Now I have to do all my responsible stuff and start the new quarter at UCLA this week at the same time. ._.;
Alsoalsoalso......Anyone showing up at the SoCal gathering this April? Because I will be there, so it would be fun to say hi to some of my DA friends.
I promise to draw something decent soon... orz...Any ideas? Also...I need to renew my subscription because it died *Cry*

If anyone wants commissions let me know...I'm guessing those who showed interest prior to my family crisis/surgery are probably no longer interested......

Oh! And Todd ~Verndead4 - the Pip from ALA - is now my boyfriend. Just so you all know....go look at his cosplay pics.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm little late, but whatever.

I've been gone for...6 months now? I'm sorry to all my watchers and friends on here, my life has been nothing less than insane lately. Surgery, a very sick grandma, my mom leaving for several months, starting at UCLA, getting sick numerous times, and a few personal issues have kind of overwhelmed me. I've been under to much stress to really care about art in general, but things are settling out a little bit, so I'm back again.

2007 sucked in many ways, but some good things came out of it. I won RSOM7 (thus getting published!), cosplayed at conventions, taught art classes, graduated from my crap high school, began college life at UCLA, and met lots of new people.

So hi again! :waves:

Also, I went to Anime Los Angeles last weekend.
Thursday: Arrived at the hotel with Carla , went to dinner with a group of random people who started singing the Pokemon theme song. I met Tadao, the toastmaster, and he was a cool guy. Back at the hotel, we hung out with the people on our floor, including Masa. It was...interesting lol. I saw and glomp'd the little bugger, and Carla and I set up the con puzzle we were randomly given (it was ccompleted 3 times by the end of the con).

Friday: I cosplayed Franziska von Karma for the first half. I took some photos with Carla, who was cosplaying Hobohodo. I saw and some of my other friends in FF7BC cosplays. We did the Phoenix Wright photo shoot with and her friends, as well as a few other cosplayers. Carla changed into Blood Seras and I put on my new black Integra suit, and we went to the Hellsing gathering. Patrick Seitz, Luke Valenine's VA showed up, so we said hi to him again. Quite a few people I had met at AX and SDCC were there, and the shoot was a blast. Except for seeing a pedophile Alucard cosplayer. @_@ Carla and I went to the Rum Party and dance, and both were lame, so we went back to the room.

Saturday: I cosplayed Integra, but I wasn't feeling too great so I really didn't go out until about 3. I got some shots with an amazing Pip cosplayer named Todd, went to the TP panel to see one of the editors and loitered with some friends at a table. I saw Todd again, so we talked for a while. Carla, Todd and his friends, and I all went to the masquerade together, and UCLA's anime club won an award. Later, Carla, Todd and I went to the dance and meandered around. We ran into Patrick again and got him to do soulja boy for us. It was win. xD

Sunday: Integra cosplay again. I was tired, so I slept pretty late. Todd and I wandered around and saw a panel, and then it was time to go.

Sadly I caught con-plague, so I've been sick lately. I'm getting better though! I'll post pictures once I get my camera cable again, and I'll start posting my art again too.
