I was bored earlier (by which I mean a couple of days ago) so I signed up for one of them new-fangled (by which I mean not-so-new-fangled) livejournal thingys.  I know, I know, so very 2001.  Or something...

Anyone else have one?

Just so you know, vomit flavored Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans are as bad as they say.

Stupid curiousity!  

I kinda liked the dirt, though...

Okay, see, I need money.  Well, I want money.  For an I-Pod.  And I want it now.   What will you get in exchange for giving me money? A picture of the person, persons, animal(s), or object(s) of your choice.  And, you know, my eternal love and gratitude.

Cost:  $40 USD.  Note me, though, and we can talk.  I like to barter, yes.

I'm best at doing portraits of people or animals, and I'll need a good quality photo to use as a reference.

Payment is due in advance, not that I don't trust you, it's those other people.  Really.  I prefer paypal, but I will accept check, money order, or tin cans if you want to pay for shipping.  If you want the picture printed and mailed to you, it will be a bit more.  Just ask and I'll figure out how much it will be.

I'll send a copy of the linework to you once it's done and get your approval before coloring.  It shouldn't take me more than a week or two to finish your picture, if it does I'll let you know why and you can feel free to nag me.  Really, I don't mind.

Refunds will only be given if I absolutely cannot do your picture.  I'll do my best to work with you and make sure you're happy with the finished picture, but I do need money for doing the work for you.

Anyway, comment, note, email, or send me a balloon-a-gram if you're interested or have any questions.  Thanks.

My three-year-old niece fell asleep on my face today as we were floating in an innertube in my sisters pool.

She smooshed my nose and drooled in my mouth.  I told people I couldn't breathe and they laughed and made bizarre comparisons.

"Wow, just think of how much trust that shows,"  my dad mused. "It's kind of like two chimpanzees asleep in a tree.  You know, where one's a baby."

"Ow,"  I responded.

And then they brought out the video camera.

In one week less than two months I am going to be twenty-three.

Twenty-three is almost twenty-five.

Twenty-five is practically thirty.

Thirty is uncomfortably close to fifty.

And that is why I feel old.

Let's all put on a folk hat and learn something about a foreign culture!

My life will soon be complete.

Thank you, John Waters.

It's about damn time.

[Allison stops Cry-Baby from fondling her]
Allison: I want to, but I can't, for my parent's sake. They're both dead, Cry-Baby, I'm an orphan!
Cry-Baby: Oh, I'm sorry, Allison. But no wonder we're together. I'm an orphan, too.
Allison: You are?
Cry-Baby: Yes! And orphans have special needs.
Allison: Well, okay, but outside the shirt this time.

Why do people who accidently double post make a new message saying "hey, sorry for the double post!"  Wouldn't it make more sense to reply to one of the messages they sent before instead of writing a whole new one?

Not that it really matters, but whatever.

I've just read two crappy paperbacks in like six hours and my neck won't turn to the left now.  It's very strange.

Does anyone know any good bands?  I'm in the mood to illegally download some music.

Five Things Which Annoy Me:

I.  Being told to visit someone's gallery/deviation.  I don't mind people asking me to visit specific deviations to give constructive criticism, but you could at least write a note specifically to me and not to a whole list of people and tell me why you want me to see it.  Please, please, please do not send me a message on msn/yahoo/aim just to get me to look at your gallery and give a bunch of comments.  When I talk to someone new I ask him or her if they have a deviantart gallery, and if they do I visit it.  I'll comment on a specific piece if you ask, or on any that catch my eye.  If I feel like it.

II.  Being ordered to visit someone's gallery/deviation.  It takes very little effort to be polite, and rudeness ticks me off so much.  It also triggers my annoying tendency towards passive aggression, so don't expect much out of me.

III.  People who only talk to me on msn/yahoo/aim when they need something, have a new deviation they want me to comment on, or to ask me to do something time consuming for them.  I don't mind viewing a picture, doing a picture, helping with a picture, coding a website/layout, or teaching someone to do something if they are a friend of mine, but I resent being talked to only for that.  I like helping people, but I really dislike being taken advantage of.

And if I have you one my watch list, most likely I've already or I will see the deviation you want me to look at.  

I'm very sorry, but I think I'm going to have to start charging for this crap.  Or just refusing to do it.  Oh, guilt.

IV.  Being yelled at for not giving/returning comments.  I know I'm crap at it and I feel really bad about it.  I'm really pathetically, painfully shy, though, and most of the time I just don't know what to say.  If I like it I'll add it to my favorites (and comment if I can), and if someone asks me a question I haven't already answered numerous times on the same deviation I will try to answer it.  I interact better one-on-one with people, so if there's something you really need to know note me, email me, or send me an instant message.  Otherwise, though, just remember I suck, but still appreciate every single comment/fav/whatever I receive.  Even the ones that don't make any sense.

V.  Drama.  Come one, people!  Why must we all act like bitchy junior high students to people we will most likely never meet in real life?  And yes, I know I sound kind of hypocritical here.


And to prove that I can think of something nice to say, here are some things that I do like:

Five Things Which Do Not Annoy Me:

I.  Comments.  Yay!

II.  Talking to like-minded people on msn/yahoo/aim.  Which sounds almost unbearably corny and stupid…

III.  Art.  Especially vector art.  

IV.  Books.  As long as they aren't crap.

V.  Roman numerals.  For I am a geek.  


If you have any questions, comments, gripes or complaints, please tell me.  If you think maybe you are one of the instant messenger type people I was complaining about, the fact that you're here reading all this crap means you most likely aren't.

You fool!  Blankets only protect you when you are completely covered.  You need to have a full shield to remain safe.  This means, of course, that your head needs to be covered as well as your feet.  Am I the only one that knows this?  Yeesh!

I'm really tired and I'd like to go to sleep...  But I can't breathe with my head covered.

I was considering offering some of my linework at the grand re-opening of my website (January 31).  Is there anyone that would be interested in coloring some for a little contest-thing?  Or even just for fun?  I could offer .ai and .psd files.  

What do you think?  Yes, no, maybe?  "It's a stupid idea, and this is why..?"

Upon the telephone.

"Hello?  Hello?"

"Hi, Jenni!"

"Hi Sofia, I'm Jessi!"

"Hi Jenni!"

"I'm JESSI."

"Hi, Jenni!"

"Hey, you, I'm JESSI!"

"Hi Jenni!"

*sigh*  "Hi, Sofie!  Will you tell your mommy I'm on the phone?"

"No!"  *click*

"Hello, hello?  Hey, are you there?  SOFIA!"

Tee-hee.
