So, Angelo and I met with our boss at about 9 this morning. Actually, we sat around for a half hour while she fixed something over the phone... then we talked for all of 10 minutes!
So, it seems that for every hour we spend on a picture/art piece, we'll get $45/hour/person! That means that if we spend 3 hours on one art piece, we'll both get $135 each!!! :D :D :D
This has really helped pull me out of my depression, and it even got Angelo-chan out of the dumps!
Plus, we got the same shift at the place next door. We work 8 hours every thursday, which isn't much. But, with the way the economy is and the way the store is run and everything it's just gone through, 8 hours is plenty. Plus, we get to watch movies all day! I might just bring some anime... :D :D :D We're allowed to bring our own movies as long as they're PG-13 or less... X3 I might finally get to watch that last DVD of Black Cat... which I've owned for close to a year now... hmm...
And, once I pay off my car and diabetes-supplies bills, I can buy the first season box set of D.Gray-Man finally! I haven't gotten it yet, but I WILL! YEAH! XD XD XD
Have a great night, guys!
.:~*Yosei & Angelo*~:.
OMIGAWD! I have to thank YOU ALL!
Everyone who gave me hugs and such kind words, THANK YOU!!!
Even better~!
ANGELO AND I HAVE JOBS AGAIN!!!
I would like to take a moment to thank you all who sent prayers to the various gods and goddesses for me. And to everyone who gave us encouragement and told us to never give up and that our time would come. Thank you!
See, my sugars were incredibly high, so he and I went for a walk to get the insulin working and to bring them down. So, we walked about two miles all over the neighborhood and down the hill to the middle school. After we ate some dinner, we decided to walk over to our old workplace, which just reopened last Thursday. And, our old boss saw us and said she'd love to have us back to work on art!
See, there's MANY more people who have discovered they do printings and she desperately needed a couple more artists and YAY, we're them!
PLUS, we'll be contractors, which means we can issue our own prices per art. We'll be making more money than before! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!
Oh, if you're still wondering about my sugars, they went from 390 to 205. They're still high, but MUCH better. ^__^
Thank you all again! I'm certainly feeling EPICALLY better than yesterday.
You guys are the best! Thanks so much! I owe you all!! One day, I'll create a great manga that you'll all love and when they ask me where I got my start, I'll say, "Well, I got my start at TheOtaku.com, and I couldn't have done it without all the members there. I love you all!!!"
So, thanks again and again and again!
.:~*Yosei*~:.
WOW! Two days is a lot to miss here anymore! :P
My Easter Weekend SUCKED HAIRY BALLS!
I don't know what it is with Yosei and holidays, but they always seem to go wrong for me! TT^TT
First off, my mother and I BOTH hate easter because, it's the holiday that gave us our diabetes... so, it's been ruined. No kidding, ever since I got diabetes, Easter has sucked. The first time, I was too afraid to eat anything, seeing as I had been diagnosed for a week by the time the holiday rolled around. Last year, my mother spent Easter in the hospital because her sugars wouldn't come down and she got violently sick. This year, I was depressed all day. Friends and family kept asking me "Have you found a new job yet?"
This sucks since the economy is suffering and no one will hire me because there's no money to keep jobs open for anyone.
Everyone is also asking about school. Well, I start in the Fall... QUIT ASKING ME, DAMMIT! For all you who are wondering, I plan to major in French and Japanese, and minor is Art! Okay, end of discussion! *fumes*
Then, I got even MORE depressed when my mother CONTINUOUSLY asked where my blood sugars were at. I couldn't eat any of my gramma's homemade apple pie~! TT^TT Do you know how depressing and frustrating it is to see a reading over 200 or 300 all the damn time?!?! Then, she tells me I could lose a leg, or my eyesight, or that my doctor might hospitalize me JUST to monitor my sugars (YAY! MORE FUCKIN MONEY DOWN THE FUCKIN MEDICINAL DRAIN!). OR, that they might take away my license for fear of me PASSING OUT and GOING INTO A COMA behind the fuckin wheel! DUDE! If I go out behind the wheel, I'll probably crash and DIE! I don't plan on being kept artificially alive unless there's a chance of me waking up within three months! If I'm not up in 90 days, END IT! AAAAGH! Don't let me bleed money from my parents! That's worse than being in the fuckin coma!
*pant, pant, pant*
Excuse me, but I just needed to rant. Wow, I NEVER use the F-word and, yet... there it is... so many times... I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. But, I do feel better.
The wedding sucked. The bride was a b!tch (my cousin is the groom) and I was lonely. I didn't know hardly anyone at the reception. ALSO! This was weird: everyone in my family had charged their cellphones COMPLETELY the morning of the wedding and then... both mine and my father's cellphones were DEAD by the end of it. It happened to some others too, anyone who's cellphones were INSIDE the building were drained and dead by the time we all left. My mom left her phone out in the car and it was fine, and my sister had spent most of her time outside talking with her friends and it was half-dead. It was just weird.
Also, not having a cellphone meant no music for me and no calling any friends... so, I had virtually no one to talk to... It SUCKED!
Then, the bride and groom got up to dance and I felt truly homesick. I wanted to be with my friends and go dancing... 
*sigh*
Then, I stayed at my grandparents house and tried to sleep in a recliner (My back now aches) but I only really got 4 hours of sleep. Meh.
So, the next day, I talked with my mother about my depression and she agreed. I needed to do something that would make me feel a little better. So, once we were back in town, they dropped me off at a friends' house and I FELT SO MUCH BETTER! We laughed and joked and ate some more dinner. I really needed it. *sigh*
Well, that's my weekend in a nutshell.
Hope everyone else's went better.
Oh, yeah. On Sunday morning, a friend of my grandparents committed suicide...
Good lord, I'm glad I've never considered doing that. I could never do that. Hell's not worth ending my own life for. I'd rather just put up with my problems and die of stress overload after I go into a coma from having too high of blood sugars... either way. I don't want to die young.
Have a great week, guys.
I'm doing much better now that I'm home.

O...M...G~!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
>_<
I saw the first new episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood last night! OMIGAWD, the animation is definitely new, but it's EPIC as well! And, this is obviously NOT a continuation of the first series, but I'm sure I'll get used to it! I can't wait for next week's episode!
Omigawsh- the best part is during the ending theme song when Ed and Al are running and then Al trips and Ed catches his helmet, but a cat pops out and Edward gets TOTALLY FREAKED! XD XD XD XD XD
Man, I'm sorry. I'm a little hyperrrrr because Angelo ish here and we're eating the dark chocolates he got me for Easterrrr~! Omigawd, I love him! :D If I were of the female gender, I'd haff his babez!!! :3
Just kidding! XD XD XD
OH! MY GAWD! ALSO!!!
We also watched THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE 07-GHOST ANIME!!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
Man, it's just as good as the manga! I LOVED IT and I can't wait for more!
By the way, I watched these both at www.sky7anime.net, so GO THERE for it!
Okies, well, I won't be able to post tomorrow, probably. I still have that wedding to go to. So, I'll probably see you all again on Sunday or Monday! I'll be around here for a little longer, Angelo wants to post the COLOR VERSION of that lineart we posted yesterday! :3
LOOK FOR IT! X3
Oki, bye!
~Yosei~

~Angelo~
Sorry for the random title. It's got nothin' to do with the post. XD
Man, Thanks everyone for the praise on my poem. Really, I hate to write poetry because, it's most definitely my weak-point. I don't do it often and I have a hard time conveying imagery through words. I'll stick to pencil and paper, :P
Well, I'm not going to be here this weekend. I'm being dragged about 80 miles north to my cousin's wedding. Don't get me wrong, I love my cousin -he's family- but, he's making the biggest mistake of his life. See, his family isn't exactly poor... as a matter of fact, they're rolling in dough (they'd never share it with the rest of the family, you know? I've gotta WORK for mine...) and he's deeply in love with his fiance. Only problem is, this girl is a proven GoldDigger. Even her own sister says so... And, I don't want one of my favorite cousins to have his heart broken, you know?
If she does love him, it's for his money. Which is sad, really. He's good-looking with a great sense of humor and he usually did well in school. I used to look up to him as kids (we're only about 5 years apart in age). But, oh well... maybe things will turn around. There's already a ton of drama and tension on that side of the family (most of the girls were pregnant at or before 16! @_@), and this might just add to it. Boy, am I glad I live a normal life... *rimshot*
On the brighter side of things, my old workplace -that cafe- is reopening! They want to rehire me too! :D Only thing is, they haven't got any payroll money. So, they said they'd have me work on graphic-designs for t-shirts again and get money through commissions. And, it wouldn't be very much, but... it's something. Meanwhile, I'm still searching for another job. My last two options didn't work out, so I'm relying heavily on the Want Adds in our local newspaper. *sigh* I'm starting to get depressed just thinking about it... I'd better quit, ne?
Oh, and I did have a weird dream last night. I was at my grandparents house, but it was bigger and the back was like a castle! And, Tom was there and we were trying to hide the mouse that I'd snuck into the house in my pocket. We were downstairs, which had been transformed into, like, a giant bedroom with a bunch of beds and a sink or something and I sat down in the corner to hide. @_@ Then, we were all sad (I don't know who "we all" were...) and there was sad music playing. WTFBBQ?!
And, there was a giant stuffed panda bear that I kept tossing over the railing on the deck outside... and Tom kept trying to distract my grandma while I tried to hide or get rid of the little brown mouse... I wish I knew a mouse in real life... it was ADORABLE and I WANT ONE NOW!!! XD
Wow. Sorry for the post being so long. Gawd, if you got this far- congrats!
Now then, I'm going to go clean the house and shower... maybe call Angelo up later to hang out. Yeah... sounds like a plan! :3
Okies, see you all later! Have a great week/weekend!
