Welcome to my endless enigma of pointless verbal ironies and useless information revolving around the existence of me, Itsu. Yes, I welcome you to Infinity. If you're scared, you needn't worry, I won't bite unless provoked otherwise...usually. Now enjoy your slow downward spiral toward the very core of my innermost being, well the psychotic section anyway.
Have fun.

I have some partial news regarding my technological issues which i ranted on thoroughly in my last post.
First the bad news prior to the current events.
A few days ago i awoke as per usual, meandering about to get up things and such as i most always do, and one of those is turning on my laptop while doing so. However, upon returning to see it in order to log in, i discovered that the screen was grey and had not gone to the log in screen at all. It was as if it were paused between the grey apple loading and the log in. Obviously this worried me. But before fully panicking, i turned off my laptop and restarted it, this time waiting and watching as it started. Unfortunately it appeared to do exactly what it had done before. To be certain i repeated this process a few more times, discovering no matter what i did, the screen continued to settle on that taunting grey screen of doom. Yes, my dears, my laptop had become unresponsive almost entirely. Not dead, but certainly not working.
The next day we arranged to take it to the bar of genius' and have it checked out and to no doubt be sent in to the magic center of wherever they fix stuff. At the time i was warned that the logic board may be somehow damaged and the hard drive could be as well. While there he previously warned of both those, then went back to have something checked, and upon return he only mentioned the logic board, which gave me some minor hope that the hard drive would not be as likely. Now while i have had nearly everything backed up, there were some things which were not. These were nothing vitally important and i would certainly survive without them, but i rather hoped i wouldn't lose them anyways.
My dears, prepare yourself for the tragic part.
Today i received my mac laptop back from the apple overlords, and much to my dismay, not only was the logic board defective but also my hard drive. This meant, sadly, my hard drive and those few things i mentioned which i had not backed up in time were lost. LE WOE! Though not so much really, i will be fine, everything vital to my existence is safe.
The last few hours i have spent setting up my laptop once again, as if it were brand spanking new. Downloading things and moving over files and other etc. has been time consuming. I did the majority of that a little bit ago, and am currently writing this. There are still some things i need to do, primarily file related. A lot of my aesthetic choices were messed up and/or need adjusting. And obviously, the personalization of my laptop is rather important to me when i spent nearly all my time on it. I am also merely a goober that way. Yes, your leader is a goober. Don't let this information go to your head though, goober or no my magnificence is too great to deny. So i will allow you to take a moment to bask. ... Was that sufficient? Good.
Drifting away from the nonsense.
The problems with my desktop monitor have not yet been resolved. I am quite saddened by this, largely because if it is no longer working that is even more time passing where i shall have to go without being able to scan anything while we then must go through the horror of getting a new one. This irksome delay has been no help towards my decreased motivation to be productive with my doodles. Since my last post i have done a couple more, but nothing special and none of which were my neglected WIPS.
If one more thing breaks on me i may melt my brain.

i don't know why the hell i am adding this, but whatever...patterns or something...
it is funny at least, i enjoy it's humorousness, it please me; hopefully it shall please you and lighten the low mood of this post
Alright, you can cease your excitement, for i tricked you. Now that i've ensnared you with my clearly devious trap, you shall go ahead and continue reading. Yes. You shall.

Bleghs, my dears... -____-
I do apologize for the lack of things going on, i have been having technological issues again...you wouldn't believe the ones actually. It is literally absurd yet disturbingly expected due to my evident lack of luck.
Any of you who have read these silly things, which of course you do because it is mandatory, but anyways, do you recall my postings about computer and laptop issues? Well, guess what. Nearly those exact problems have returned just in time for the new year! Isn't that just fabulous? Is it not the most wonderful turn of events to ever occur? I know that's what i think. What else would i think about it? Obviously.
No. No. I totally lied. I am sure you couldn't tell that i was lying, but i was. It's okay. I know you're mad, but i think you will survive. Don't quote me on that though. Because i am probably lying about that as well. Not sure.
Well then, much like before, my laptop has started randomly restarting for no reason i know of. It is not quite the same as before, there is no specific reason i can recognize coming up when the report that i understand practically nothing of appears, though i suspect it could be a similar one that plagued me back at the later part of 2013. So far it has done this five times, the last one was literally a few hours ago. All this has re-inspired a grand amount of paranoia about loosing my files, so i have backed up many things quite a few times...in fact, every time i add or edit anything i move it over to my flash drive. I cannot lose things or i will die inside. And then where would you all be? I know you can't live without me. *creepily pets*
Along with that, the monitor of the computer i use for scanning and editing my drawings has returned to not responding. Which is marvelous. Now i cannot scan anything. And this lack of ability to scan has rather put me off of working on, well, anything... So i have thusly not been working on much. I do have a few doodles, just doodles, and i think only one of them i will even be putting up here and dA, one i might but i don't know yet, and then the others are absolutely NOT APPROPRIATE for this site and i would never get away with on dA. But they will go somewhere *cackles* ;3 Everything else though has been put off because of the underwhelming sense of productivity that has come on with this recent turn of events.
I wish this had not occurred, it rather ruined my attempts to complete many of my waiting WIPS. But of course that would happen. I cannot make goals for myself without them being sufficiently dashed. Sigh..................
i know not when things may start working correctly, or if they shall simply die and leave me to mourn. You all should prepare a delectable sacrifice for the technology overlords in the hopes that your leader may be saved from this chaos. This is a chaos i do not need, nor want. My preferred chaos does not damage my laptop. That is a big no no.
Anyways....that is what's going down in my realm. Thought i should give an update here since there isn't much of any in my art.

sooo...have this to ease things, i suppose...cause i post these things all the time now apparently... o-o
and, no, it's not funny, but it is adorable and touching and has a cow
i suppose all you minions are curious what happened between my last post and this new one, seeing as everything i talked of beforehand did not occur.
well, let me elaborate on my troubles...
-----
OHMYGOSH! Guys..GUYS...seriously..GUYS... YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS! Or you probably will, but you are my unwitting pawns in this tumultuous world of me so it matters only that stuff is things...or something...i have no idea where that was going.
Anyways, the problem is, technology is rearing it's ugly, crippling head into my realm.
My computer has started becoming..evil. I have suffered the horror of laptop problems three times. Two of which were catastrophic, and the second one was a complete shock as it kamikaze-ed on me. T - T Due to such past experiences, i immediately went on high alert and have been trying to continually back my files the hell up. However, i have had my laptop do it's sudden shut down/restarts whilst moving things...which, obviously, gives me a horrid panic. Due to the size of all my files, it takes about two hours to move everything over, not including the fact i have to delete the entire folder from my flash drive just to be able to move those files over--since my flash isn't big enough to hold two sets--and doing this takes some time as well. So, whenever i do a backup, i prefer to do it when i have several things to have saved. Sounds weird, i know, but i don't want to spend all that time for a few things, when several stored up ones and then a backup has more purpose. It's odd sounding, and i am positive and know there are other, easier ways, but this is my way and i have my OCD routine pattern weirdo stuff..and that's just how i roll. Don't mess up my roll, man. YOU MUST NEVER INTERFERE YOUR MASTER'S ROLLERY! >:U
What does this mean for the art i have mentioned? It means i am extremely hesitant to make any changes to anything whilst in such a predicament. I may still try to do some work, and i may not until i can get this checked out. I spent a large majority of the time it has been freaking out trying to decipher the problem myself, because that is also how i roll. Plus it has the added bonus of being free. Yet it has all been to no avail; every time i think i have it fixed, it hasn't happened for a bit, and BAM, abrupt restart. Therefore, things shall be slow now, well..slower, until i can do all that crap, with ..the techy people dealing...and...ughs.
AND. Yes, i'm afraid there is an 'and' to the cruelties technology seems to have for me lately.
The desktop computer, which i use for scanning my arts--as the scanner is hooked up to it--and then doing minor edits/lately tinsy bits of shading with photoshop, has had an aneurysm. ...Technically, the computer is quite likely just fine, merely a bit dated; no my dears, it is the monitor that has decided to hate all over me. Hence my use of aneurysm...cause..head..brain..face...i don't know... All this is not completely confirmed, but seeing as the last time i tried to get on the screen it was being almost entirely unresponsive no matter what i did, i am betting on my diagnosis. :/ This whole chaos just sucks...it sucks sucks sucks SUCKS SUCKS SUUUUUUUCCCKKKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh...why hath such a curse befallen me? Because it appears to be my lot in life to be screwed over by the universe. You all must being collecting your sacrificial offerings because i need me some magical wonders done, plus i got some lovely new altars in the dungeon. Yes, yes. Yessssssss..........i think i am delirious from lack of scintillatingly succulent sustenance, a necessary helping of alliteration a day keeps the cannibals away. Wait. That's one of my cults. ...I mean, look a duck! *wanders off suspiciously*
Whelp. Those are the current trends in my life that i am going to blather about. As soon as i am able and with real info of a change, then i shall update this update. I don't know when such a time will be...my mother and i are both procrastinating, lazy goobers in our own way, therefore making us each enablers of the other. Plus, it's not like buying a pair of nice jeans or anything, it is a computer monitor. at the very least. Takes time to find the good ones and all that crap. Soooooooooooooo...yeah.
Wish me luck, my darling pigglepops of blind following.........i will need as much as possible o - o

and that is my plight of life. i bet you are now wondering 'what on earth does this have to do with bacon and my intense desire for it?' ...what would have ever made you think anything i do makes sense with anything? seriously. what kind of brainwashed followers are you if you can't recognize when your leader of all encompassing evi-err, i mean, loveliness, if you can't pick up on the absurd subtlties that aren't actually subtle at all ways of my being.
now. does this all mean that the title is utterly irrelevant? HELL NAH! I WANT ME SOME FREAKIN SEXY BACON! >:U
LOOK, LOOK AT MY BEAUTY, and....GIVE ME YOUR BACONNNNNNN
i know, i know.
you've all been suffering from severe withdrawal due to my lack of existence
well, i assure you, it is not because i hate you, no, i hate you for different reasons ha, kidding o Do..no seriously, i am o-o
i am just me, which as my brainwashed minions you would all know, and/or, not even notice either way as you are too lost in thought of my greatness, or pineapples..or..ketchup..
i do, however, sincerely apologize for my tendency to vanish off the face of the interwebs...i do not mean to hurt you, and i hope your shrines continue to have my face o 3o
ANYWAYS, i came on to say a little random nothingness, just to say hey, i still exist, i am working on things..kind of..and yeah...hi there mah minionizzles.....i should really stop trying to do that o-o

behold the not so epic tale of a not so fascinating moment of my failness
*ahem*
as per my usual self, i am quite fond of keeping my laptop files organized and neat, with complex systems of folders within folders within folders, etc.
so every now and again i go into my file tree and do some cleaning, as i am near constantly adding new images, plus there is the occasional double--or triple--which needs to be removed and/or measured up to the other(s) to see which is best; and then at times i must do some hunting to find the artist of images i have obtained--primary from tumblr--which did not have a source, however, despite the fact i dont just post these images and tend to use them personally, i still prefer to have the name so that i can properly title the work in my folder and for that 'just incase' i should ever use it i shall have the correct person to credit *nod*
well, i decided to do this tonight, for i had added several lovely sebciel pics and knew i recognized some but wasnt entirely sure enough if i had them or not...and thus began my tangent off into file workings... this can also lead to more additions due to jumping down one rabbit hole than another, though i do make my way back, but with more images for arranging XP
i have just now finished doing another round of this organization, mostly my images files, mostly 4 main folders in particular--i say main because the 'main' folders have folders within folders within folders...so there were many folders worked in, but overall most of what i did was in the four 'main' ones rather than a complete item overhaul--
all this took me 7 hours...SEVEN HOURS...
...there are times when this OCD and perfectionism thing i have going on can truly warp reality for me...actually...that happens a lot..a lot........but..anyways...
after all this time, the only bit of anything left in my mind is that i am so hungry voraciously right now...
i was going to eat the shake i had in the freezer whilst watching some of my youtube vids, however it is now 7:30 am and there is no time left for ice cream -____-
EDIT: it is now 11:50 am...i cant sleep, and even if i could i would only get about three and a half hours (from when i first intended, which was 10:15, now it is just a little more than two hours) as i have to shower and do all that post showering things that i do, since i apparently have a doctor's appointment at 6 pm and i am currently several days unshowered, and you can only go so long before it is blatantly obvious how disgusting you are......LE SIGH *flails wantonly in a puddle*
...
i felt i had to share this with my world of nobody because it was an immense weirdness, one of those peculiarities which cannot go unspoken
greetings minions! i can tell you missed my lucious voice of words.
i have gone ahead and decided to put up that second muro dump of gaia chibi things, as that last one i just never got around to making since i got busy and utterly lost all interest in trying to make more..they hurt my finger and take forever to create and simply seemed to get worse as i went on XP
go ahead and mozey on over, check out them crappy things and marvel in what my finger can accomplish..MARVEL I SAY! D:< are you marveling? good, good.
well, that is all i have right now, still haven't quite finished my classes so not going to hook up my new scanner and so get that huge hoard of finished works put up here yet. but fear not my lovelies, i shall alert you when i do so *pets*
------------------------------------
a bit about what all i have been up to, because i have no one else to talk to other than you all imaginary creatures...
besides procrasting a ton, i did finish one class and have just some math left to do, but i shall be done by the 9th and so will finish setting up my shiny new scanner that i got for christmas
a little sadness, a few days ago my computer decided to kamikaze and leave me for about a week while i had to await the installation of a completely new harddrive...meaning i lost all i had on my laptop at the time ; n ;
but fear not, luckily i had not yet put all my stuff back on from the last time i had to take it in to be fixed so i lost very little, and much of which i had somewhere else and could be scavenged. with this new drive i decided to go ahead and restore most of my files and get around to some of that organization i was planning *nod* i have completed the two image files i had intened to do and right now i don't think there was any others i planned to do that with but i do have many many things i am going to go ahead and get rid of as i will never use them. a crap ton of avatars from numerous series that i would never use an avatar from--oh yeah, i was going to organize some of those folders..shoot..more to do......anyways!
some more interesting things, or i suppose at least more interesting than my OCD habits with my laptop files, i have been doodling like crazy, filling up my little sketchbook with things not to mentioned adding more to my WIP and finished stacks...which is really just making the task of getting it all scanned in and put up places a much longer process..but who cares! you do? well your opinion doesnt matter, i am the lord and master here, not sit down and massage my feet ...yes..that's good....
i have also lately become rather obsessed with watching minecraft videos on youtube..it is just so fun to watch! and if it weren't a computer game i would enjoy trying my hand at it...however i dislike all those button combinations and whatnot with the keyboard..bleh XP
i should be doing math right now...but i don't wanna....T 3T.....
