Hey guys, it's been awhile! How have you guys been?

As always, I've been busy with school and haven't had much free time, but I do have some new things I should probably upload lol. I've been really into crochet, and I've even made a couple patterns myself, I won't tell you what they are yet though, you'll have to wait for pictures. July and June were pretty hard months to get through as it was expected, I just had to keep myself busy. 

As to JAC challenges, I really want to be able to catch up or at least work on a couple of challenges that I wanted to take part in, but didn't have the time to. So, hopefully once I've got a good area and a camera that works good, I'll have those pictures posted. Maybe, possibly, some assignments from school that I haven't uploaded. Meh, I'll decide that later since its so late right now. (it's like one in the morning lol)

:D

L to my fellow Jogees, I miss you guys and the stream tons!!!!!

I've been doing well since the last post, and hope everyone has been doing well. Been missing Jogee a lot though! Luckily, I made it through Christmas and my Birthday without getting too depressed so that was a relief. I've been really addicted to Pokemon again, so if anyone else plays Pokemon X and Y go ahead and leave a friend code. 

In other news, I've been real busy with school again. I doubt I'll post a lot of my storyboard stuff on here but I might. I don't know. I've also gotten into crochet and I've been making tons of little octopus, squid and cuttlefish. I will be selling these eventually but I need to prepare for that, making an online shop as well and making supplementary stock, getting my own pay pal and the like and figuring out postage stuff. That and school keeps me busy.

So, that's what I've been up to. How've you been?

Go see The Hobbit! Don't think, just do it! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I love it so much!!!!!!!!!

Even though I'm at odds about the anatomy of Smaug. For me, technically, he's wyvern. Dragons have four limbs AND wings. I'm very particular about my dragon anatomy if you haven't noticed...

But I love him in spite of that! I love the entire movie! All the people in it, all the actor and everyone who worked on it!!!

I better stop freaking out, or at least keep writing about it. Just know that the movie is phenomenal! And seeing it in IMAX 3D with those speakers it has! You could feel Smaug's voice and roars in your BONES!

Feeling better

2 min read
Jus a quick update to let you know how I've been. Though everything has been pretty stressful, I feel much better than I did last month. I know that depression will hit me again, but the bright spots feel great while they last. And I'm glad I have all of my friends, on here and RL, and my family to help me through it. 

School has been busy, got some animation done! I'll put a link to my youtube at the bottom for those who are interested. I really enjoy animation, though it really is stressful. My teacher is pretty cool, it's always nice to have one that is funny and makes the class fun. I'm going to have a storyboard done soon hopefully and more animations done. Then, I'll have a three week break before starting winter quarter. Don't have many plans yet, but I want to see friends I haven't seen in a while due to school. 

I've also taught myself how to crochet and knit, which is tons of fun and it keeps me busy when I'm done with homework. I might even sell some of them here! Let me know if you're interested in that kind of stuff. I make mostly octopus at the moment. They're adorable. Once I start making money I plan on buying more patterns and stuff. I make gloves too, and hope to learn even more!

So, in case I forget to post something, I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving or whatever it is that you celebrate! <3

Hey, just checking in. Feel free to ignore this if you want. I'm just blowing off some steam. 

----------------------------

So, school has been...difficult for me. Everything just feels like an obstacle these days, and I'm tired. Of practically everything. I've been thinking about going to a doctor, but the way things are with health insurance being a piece of shit (sorry for swearing, I don't feel up to censoring myself) I don't see much of a point in going and spending money on someone telling me what I already know.

I have a hard time in enjoying, well, anything these days. Video games I have no time for lately with so much school work, I want to draw but nothing turns out the way I want and I get so frustrated I give up. The only real thing I look forward to anymore is JoGee, it's the only real time I relax and can enjoy something again. With the way things in the world are and how effed up everything is, it's...nice to be able to look forward to something. To be able to hang out with the people I like and get along with. I can laugh and have fun again, instead of being angry and sad all the time.

Sorry about complaining about things, but I needed someplace to vent. These past three years have been the worst, and I just can't really see it getting better. Maybe that's depression talking, but I don't really care right now. I have a hard time caring about anything lately. I thought I was doing ok, but I guess I was wrong. I just... I'm tired. All the time.
