Hey, guys. Guess what? I recorded another song today. ^_^ So that means one more prize for my Challenge.
Also, it's that time of year again. I'm talking about theO's Fan Art Secret Santa. This year, Toya is hosting with Kaerlyn. I'm not taking part in hosting, but I hope I can make time to participate. I'm kind of on the fence about that with my art block and all.
So as not to confuse anyone, I'll eventually be deleting my own S.S. World from last year. I'll have it up for a few days in case anyone who participated last year forgot to add their gifts to their Favorites.
On one final note, I just want to say that I love you guys. Right now, I'm really not anywhere near as chipper as I sound in this post, but this place has been a little haven for me. You guys at theO really give me joy.
What can I say? I couldn't think of a better title. Anyway, time for a long-overdue post.
I have everything block. Not writer's block, not art block-- everything block. I haven't had much free time due to the fact that I'm getting more hours at work, but when I do have time to myself, I don't know what to do. The problem is that I don't even feel like doing anything. So, I get bored and frustrated, and usually end up sleeping the day away. Depression is such a pain. Isolation is, too.
The good news is that I might be able to get my new music Challenge underway in about two weeks. I hope. I had to order this part off of Amazon, and it's due to arrive this coming Saturday. Of course, I ordered it last Wednesday, but it's getting sent out tomorrow. What it is, is an interface that should help me record my guitar. Here's hoping I can figure out how it works.
I have a lot of time on my hands today, so I want to do a livestream. Who's up for one? I'm pretty flexible, but I'd prefer it be sometime around 4 pm Central. Maybe that way my subscribers across The Pond could catch a little bit of it (unless they're way far east, or just go to bed early, then I apologize).
Guys, I'm so sorry. I can't livestream tonight. Would tomorrow (Saturday) be OK? I'll have a lot of time then, since I offered to dog-sit for my mom. It will be in the afternoon-- sometime around 1 pm Central.
I really hate to do this to you guys. I keep crying "wolf" all the time. A lot of not-so-good stuff has been happening lately in my life, and I haven't felt like drawing. I thought a livestream might help with inspiration, but I haven't felt like doing a livestream either.
I know I have those prizes hanging over my head. I haven't forgotten about them, but I haven't gotten them done in a timely manner. I'm quite mad at myself about that. It's been nearly a year.
If you guys really want to know what this is about, you can PM me. You're not obligated. I just don't want to talk about this publicly.
I've been meaning to make a post for the longest time now. I just haven't thought of anything good to say. So, let's have some questions.
1. We haven't had a new Challenge in some time. Want me to make one even if there may not be artwork prizes?
2. ACen is coming up and I'm going! I'd like to do an upgrade on my cosplay again. I don't know how appropriate this is to say, but anyone know where I can buy a binder?
3. I posted something in the FFC World about posting the next three chapters of Survival Instincts without previews, like I did with the fifth chapter, and I got no responses. Any thoughts about whether I should just post them in my Library World while bypassing FFC?
4. Anyone up for a livestream? They give me motivation to draw stuff that's been hanging over my head forever. I know I've been talking about this for a long time. It's just that no one seems to be online when I want to do one.
Speaking of those things that never get done, I think I have a reason why I'm not doing them. It's because I'm running out of ideas to draw stuff. After those pictures in the works are done, I've pretty much run out of ideas. They're not so much character ideas as composition ideas. It's easy to draw a character just standing there. It's hard giving those characters something to do.
I've also been hesitant to post art lately. Mostly because I want to hit #1 on the Leaderboards. I just need a lot of momentum, which means a lot of art. Since it takes me forever to finish a piece, I'm saving all of them up to post at once. I know that's kinda dumb, but I don't care.
Just now, I decided to merge my Rock Star Diary with KAAMP. I'll move the posts with comments over, and delete the rest. I haven't been updating that thing, so I might as well free up space. Still not sure about my CD Collection World. Oh, wait.
5. Does anyone care about album reviews or should I delete that World, too? If you do care, I'll update the post with my actual collection.
I'm going to jump around a lot in this post. Most paragraphs won't have anything to do with each other.
I just created a PaintBerri account. My name there is "Keba". I did a little doodle, and it's kind of ugly.
I also recently got a Picarto. I'm KebaSiRota over there. I'll try to do a livestream soon. It may or may not work out because my upload speed isn't the greatest. And I don't have a complete grasp of how to use it.
Since I accidentally posted it on this World and corrected that without updating, my latest chapter of Survival Instincts has gone unnoticed. Let's fix that.
Speaking of Fiction Feedback Central, no one else has posted anything. I check it every once in a while, but no one besides me has posted.
I finished two anime within the last two days. One was Yu Yu Hakusho, and the other was Baccano!. Coincidentally, both of the aforementioned anime have similar plot elements to my stories. That was not intentional. I had those ideas BEFORE I saw those series. Just wanted to make that clear.
My premium subscription to FUNimation's site is expiring in 20 days. If I watch six episodes of anime per day, I will have watched everything I set out to watch on the site. I can't believe I'm going to dedicate two to three hours for the next 20 days watching anime. Then again, I'm under-employed and currently lacking inspiration to draw/write/play guitar.
The FMAB DVDs I ordered came in. I was expecting them to come on the 15th, but they arrived yesterday. That's two days after I ordered them. But I'll have to put of watching them for the next 20 days. Refer to the previous paragraph.
Here's a weird little piece of news: I'm playing Pokemon Yellow. I restarted the game because I'm rethinking my strategies on how to train my Pokemon. And I want to exploit a glitch to catch Mew. Yes, it can be done. And I'm gonna do it.
