that is, me, i liveth, holy shit, omg, it's the end of the world, etc. etc. etc. 

given, it's probably been like three years since i last posted a journal...

okay, i checked, and isn't it funny that i actually got bothered to post again exactly two years after my last journal? i think i have a biological posting rhythm. ok so where was i last time i wrote a journal? 

oh, i was still in high school, ew. i am so glad that's over. seriously if you're in high school, screw high school, like depending on what you want to do maybe get good grades or something but very little of it will matter in a few years if it even matters to you at all right now. i'm almost 20 ok i know what i'm talking about. (it's kinda funny tho i was "almost 18" last time i posted)

umm... wow, evidently i was still paying off siri and cord's head?! well suffice it to say they both got home safely, cord got a body of his own (doll leaves), and i've gotten... 4? 4 more dolls since then, bringing the total up to a whopping 9 hunks a' resin. in order, after siri and cord, i got michael (lt rs an, he's cord's bf), fallon (ws dz carter(!!!), she's my fav), ceilan (lt rs mai and for real i am never getting another not-tan doll again), and um... the one who doesn't have a name yet. i just got him a few days ago! as in, he just got here a few days ago, i bought him a week and a half ago. he's so [star eyes emoji]. he's an impldoll avery in grey skin and he's sooooo cute omg!!!! omg i love him. i will post pics shortly. 

ummm i also wasn't doing game dev at that point in time but i picked that up again shortly thereafter. easy peasy stuff, y'know, tweaking rpg maker. but i really enjoy it and it might be something i can study?? in?? higher education?? wow. it's fun though. 

ummm that's that, i haven't died yet, nothing major has happened since (except for dad's 2nd heart attack and a moving DISASTER that seriously could warrant its own 20 journals), uhh... man i'm kinda boring lol. 

so i was totally unwilling to go through the 500+ deviations and journals i had backlogged so how are y'all doing?

seriously, i am so done with high school. i am surrounded by complete assholes all day, every day. 

in good news: i finished writing the first draft of my novella, the angel in the ashtray, which i've been writing for almost a year and a half. seriously! it started out as that untitled mutantverse story in december 2012 and morphed into this. if you want to learn more about it, check out its blogsite. it's the first real complete piece of the angelverse, my collaborative speculative fiction universe. leah is a major character in the novella, too. if you want to read it, message me on there or note me here. i have a pdf as well as the .epub and .mobi versions for all your ebook critique needs. 

in more good news: if i do a lot of things around the house this week and next, i'll pay off my resinsoul layaway a week from friday!! yay!! on order is siri (another major character in my novel), a ns fei on the li body, cordiel (the titular angel), a ws tang head (who will take over pen's aod body), and a pair of ming's horns in ws for sam. i am so excited!! i have everyone's wigs and clothing and everything. all i have left is the wait, which is absolutely the worse part of it.  

i also recently wrote a short (6-page/6 minute) short film script entitled "gravity." it has nothing to do with the film. it's based on the dresden dolls song and it's a redo of a script i wrote literally a million years ago in eighth grade. 

and... that's my life. 

how is yours?

I feel slightly boring because I don't have much to talk about as an update. Mom was in the hospital for a few days last month, which was really hard, but I'm working on it. Went to the dentist last week (for the first time in my whole life, for Reasons) and got a filling done (getting another one done in two weeks, and that's it). Uhhh. Putting Siri/Cord/horns on order as soon as Resinsoul gets back to me about the invoice. Stupid policies... some States policy changed and so PayPal had to cover their asses and change a payment policy. No more sending money to international accounts, even if they're personal. I've bought a couple things secondhand through the MP where I've had to ask the other person to invoice me, and now Resinsoul. Ugh. 

This is more for me than anything, also because a lot of other people have these. I just wanted to jot down some stuff about my dolls so I remember.  

I wanted to give you guys an update and put a little positive energy on the internets because I had my first experience with an art troll today posting negativity on my photography and you know what? fuck that shit! These are guys who are at least two years older than me, if not twice my age. If your idea of fun is posting dick comments on random internet people's art to hurt their feelings (while using every kind of -ist and -phobic language), then why the hell should anyone listen to you?
