So as some of you may or may not have noticed, I've been pretty dead for a few months. No, it's not just because I don't want to work on getting my inbox back down to a reasonable number, though that certainly doesn't help. Mostly it's because I've been trying to avoid getting caught in wormholes where I'm like, "Well I'll just check real quick" and the next thing I know it's 3 hours later. Not only that, but y'know, work and school, my classic excuse. Not only that but I've frequently found myself not wanting to do anything because one of my cats has been missing and I think about him and get bummed out. What keeps me going is that he was spotted recently in a nearby town so I can worry less with the knowledge he's okay. And not only THAT, but I'm spending a lot of time with my boyfriend. Really that's the main reason I have been inactive on the internet lately, because now that my confidence is slightly renewed, I like to go out with people instead of lock myself away. I also have a bad case of spring fever despite winter having just stated. Already I'm anxious for the warm weather. I don't know if it's because we've had two really nice days or what, but I am really eager for the gentle warmth of spring to come again. Only, it's not going to last long. Where I live we have like three days of fall and three days of spring where you need a jacket and can leave the windows open, the rest of the time it's either freezing or blazing. But I'm getting distracted.
Really, where I'm the most active is my Quotev. Note me if you want to add me there. I'm also on Wattpad but I'm only there for like 2 minutes. I only really wanted another platform where I could post my stories. But I feel like I'm on Quotev mostly because my newest work has gotten a lot of praise that's gone straight to my head. My newest project is Dragon Boy, a fantasy story (of course) about a boy whose home economics project ends up taking him far away to a magical land where he and his classmates must learn to overcome their limits and live up to the expectations that come when one has a Familiar. So far it has been read by 163 people, which is a big ego-booster for me. Unfortunately this means I've been neglecting Sense of Something, or SIBFR as its nickname is. Recently though I broke my writer's block for it and have been fleshing out Chapter 20. I also went through and re-read a lot of it to determine that so far about 13 days have passed in the story. It took me 3 years to write 20 chapters and 13 days. What cheers me up about that is how it took Tolkien 12 years to write Lord of the Rings. So yeah it's okay if it takes you a long time to write. What's a bit ironic about my situation is how I have spent all this time on SoS and it's not as popular as Dragon Boy, which I've so far spent about two months on, I think. Either way I want to finish SoS first since it's taken over my life. Both stories have, in fact. Send help.
My cellphone is broken. I don't use it to access the internet and everyone who texts me knows I live in a house with a landline so it's no big loss. Save for one person who can't take a hint that you call my house because I don't like wasting minutes I could use to, say, call 911 or my parents if I have to. I mean I've lived in a house with the same phone number much longer than I've had a cellphone so I don't get what's so hard to understand, like really. And if someone else answers is it really so hard to say, "Is _ there?" and if that person isn't there is it really so hard to be like, "Okay, have _ call me back later!" Whatever that person ruined my life so I don't talk to them. But yeah my cellphone is broken. I can send texts, but no one gets them; it still takes away minutes. I can't receive texts or phone calls. I might be able to call 911, since TracFone allegedly allows you to get in contact with emergency services as long as you have a signal and the battery is charged, but I don't know for sure and I don't want to find out. This doesn't affect me other than it's just inconvenient. I just felt like complaining about it.
And I changed my icon yet again. Unlike the past two, which were meant to look like me, this one is an illustration of Kyle from Dragon Boy. I like the way it turned out so I'm using it.

New Blogs
I was watching a YouTube video by Jenna Moreci about marketing your book, and how you should start marketing before the book is finished. So, I figured, since I want to publish some of my stories one day, that I would try starting up my own blogs to help promote my two big stories, but mostly so I can keep my fans (all like, two of them, lol) updated on what's going on behind the scenes.
The Dragon Boy blog, Dragon Boy Official Tumblr, can be found here.
The Sense of Something blog, Sense of Something Official Tumblr, can be found here.
Super creative titles, I know.
I also made Discord servers for the two, but I haven't sent out any invi
Help Me Draw in 100 Styles!
So I currently have my hands full with 2 big projects (both animation, one is a request), but before I started these, I had taken on a project to draw my fan character Hiroto in 20 different styles. Until yesterday I had 17 styles planned. After speaking with Skittysrule (https://www.deviantart.com/skittysrule), we started coming up with more styles. I know there are well more than 20 animated styles, so to help keep me from getting rusty after the animations are done, as well as give me some exercise beyond my comfort zone, I thought I'd try and accumulate as close to 100 styles as possible for me to practice in my free time. I will shortly be posting a list of the styles I ha
Someone is trying to get me fired over $1.25
Well I've been working a lot the past few days, and today I did a double shift with a three hour break for my class at the community college. I work at a restaurant my dad has owned for about 10 years now, I think. When I got back to work, someone called asking if they could get straight-up bolognese sauce, like about a pint. On the menu we have a pasta with bolognese sauce for $10.50 just about, so I said it would be between $7-8 for a pint (the ingredients to make it are fairly expensive to begin with, and we have to be able to make a profit so we can afford to pay the employees, rent the space the store occupies, pay for utilities, etc.)
Casual Wedding
So it was just over 100 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday, and my aunt's wedding was outside. Needless to say it was hot. There were a lot of people there, and we were curious how they were related to the bride or groom, but we felt if we asked they would ask us (and we're the family of her ex-husband, so that would be awkward to explain).
After the reception, people went and got changed into their bathing suits to use the pool. At some point my brothers had to use the bathroom so we got out of the pool and got on line, and then my aunt got on the microphone to make a speech about how she and her husband met. At the very end she said how their da
