Busy all the time...

Fri Jun 5, 2009, 1:24 PM
  • Mood: Zeal
  • Listening to: World War III by KMFDM
  • Reading: a rough draft of one of my books
  • Watching: 24, Season 6
  • Playing: The Sims 3
:bulletgreen:UPDATE:bulletgreen:

So yeah, another long hiatus from DA. With a heavy work load for my classes, and then doing my *actual* job, I just don't have anything even remotely resembling free time. But you know what I did with my free time today? I mowed our 8 acre lawn with a PUSH MOWER in 90+ degree weather(seemed more like 110 with the humidity), and the yard has no trees mature enough to provide shade for a quick respite from the oppressively bright, cloudless sky.

I am NOT going to be coerced into mowing the yard again. Kris can do it. I do all the other chores and housework, PLUS I always do the cooking. He can at least mow the goddamn yard. :shakefist:

Not much to report on the art front, though expect massive updates later on this evening, hopefully among those being a new digital painting of Maeve...if I get around to finishing it, that is. >< It just takes so long to do anything with a mouse, and the results are never what I would call satisfying. I need a tablet. And speaking of needs, my DA subscription ran out...and I doubt that any of my loyal friends on here are in any better a financial situation than I currently am... But I would be willing to do artwork (pfft. My drawings aren't in demand ^^; :lmao: Who am I kidding?) for a subscription of any length?

I do have some happy news. Two weeks ago I welcomed a new addition to my family. Her name is Sheba, and she's a 6-month old Black Labrador/German Shepard mix (the Shepard is only noticeable from her long, more pointed nose, and her short ears). She was a stray, and I waited 3 days for a possible owner to show up, even put up signs with a picture of Sheba, but no one called or came by. So, now she's got a microchip in case if she ever gets away from me, or Kris...which she's done before. She's very fast, and very strong...and big, too. I didn't realize how small of a dog Lucky was (he was a border collie) until I adopted Sheba..The dog is almost as tall as I am when she stands on her hind legs, with a very long, extremely well-muscled body, and she already weighs over 80 lbs, but the Vet said that she should put on about 15 lbs so her weight is proportionate with her size. Anyway, I already love Sheba -she's part of my family now :heart: - and now I'm wondering how I lasted as long as I did without a dog after Lucky died over a year ago.

I guess there's nothing else of consequence to really report. As per usual, I want to know how everyone is doing

:heart:

Now, what is there really to say about me? My surrogate parents call me by my middle name, Marie, always have. I have several friends who have the permission to refer to me as Kaia (a now almost 9 year old pseudonym), and my nom de plume is often signed with my submissions.

I'm a Missouri native, and aside from a brief, enjoyable stint of living in Pennsylvania, I've been in, and around Springfield, Mo. my entire life. I enjoy living in the midst of the Ozark Mountains, and while sometimes I wish I was anywhere but here, the people I love are here, and if I need to get away from the booming metropolis that is Springfield, I need only head in any direction and I'll find myself amidst the beautiful mountains that make up Southwest Missouri.

Currently I'm 20 years old (FINALLY!!!), and very much the Capricorn of the Zodiac that I was born under (January 11th, 1989), and am happily married to a Gemini. Strange astrological match, if you believe in that sort of thing.

The true love of my life however, is writing my massive Fantasy series, composing songs for, and playing the violin, as well as kickboxing.

I am currently working on a series of novels, the first set (8 books) called the ECLIPSE series, and the sequal to the ECLIPSE novels is the AWAKENING series (10 short stories/novellas. Character portraits and short stories from or based either of the aforementioned series' can be found in my gallery, as well as on my personal website.

I have several side projects as well to keep myself busy during my down time in concerns of my writing, and they typically take the shape of artwork. Portraits of my characters, sketched scenes from the novels, as well as just those "what if..." pictures that I can put to paper, yet never have the heart to add in to the story are often the shape of my creativity.

And lastly, I love talking to people, and to my fellow Atheists, Artists, Writers and Supernatural and Occult enthusiasts, so drop me a line. I'm always open to making new friends.

I like your DevID, just read all the stuff under it..Great to see you're so ambitious when it comes to your stories. Your characters are wonderful and deep, I know that..why else would I have devoted a few years of my life to writing a story and world containing a few of them :). Keep up all your hard work, stay safe and keep dreaming!

Well, it's something DA is working on, and as a beta tester, I get to try out all of the new DA designs and such before they're released to standard members. If you have a subscription, you can sign up to be a beta tester.
