Agghh...
This is harder than I thought it would be, but I'm willing for the challenge anyway.

.. man. I haven't been sleeping again. I hope I don't botch this thing. A lot is riding on one drawing.. apparantly, if this goes well, the restarunt might have different locations.. in which case I can stop working in a few years and buy a house..

Which is a lot to lay on one picture, let me tell you.

I'm tired.

(Where's Terri? I thought she was coming at 4:30? It's 6:41 now..)

My life is being swallowed by this entire project, but I really don't mind lately. I love doing this. Drawing for money is awesome.

Last night I was up really late on the computer working on tracing the lineart; I'd started the day before, but I acidentally changed all the raster layers to vectors. This wouldn't even matter, and I didn't even realise that it did, except that this picture I'm drawing is supposed to go up onto a sign.. so I really couldn't use it.

The lineart still isn't done. I figure another two hours or so should do it.

I'm going to see Harry Potter today. I'm very excited. ^-^ Yesterday I bought tickets for Brittany, Chelsea and I in advance. I could see the line from the SilverCity (our theatre) stretching all the way behind the mall while I was working.

I'm not the fan of lines.

So if I do need to wait in one, it won't be terribly long anyway.

I should be working on this picture now, since I keep stopping to post to various rpg as I go. ^_^; So I'll leave this as it is, and post a real update some other time.

I am the luckiest person in the entire universe..
Stuff's looking good now. I'm not sure what to think of about how today went. But I think swanky-cool-awesometastic fits pretty nice.

Yessir.

Back in January, I was drawing in a donut shop that I'm quite fond of; Robin's donuts.

It was right after I dropped out of college. It was that same day. The reason I'd gone there was because I wasn't sure what I was thinking about, or what I wanted to do with myself. All I wanted to do was draw, forget everything, and try not to totally dillude myself into thinking that my life would fail because I'd rather draw than listen to history.

This is where I received my first commission. I'm not a great artist, but I was really excited to be asked for it; I drew it to the best of my abilities, and was promised fourty dollars for it.

I've been extatic about that for some time, but it seemed like Patrick had forgotten about this; he hadn't really contacted me, so I figured he'd just forgotten. Which was fine. I'd still drawn something, and before I drew it, I was only going to ask him for twenty dollars. Robin's has closed; they went bankrupt. This majorly sucks, since the only other 24 hour place near here is a Tim Hortons, which is also right near the bar.

Today Patrick came to meet me at work; I was really excited, but I acted mature. He gave me the fourty dollars, and asked if I could take my break.

So I did.

He's bought Robin's. He's going to turn it into his own coffee shop. 'Corky's Coffee and Deli'

Corky is the character I drew. He's going to use my character sketch, my colours, my design, on his huge sign for his business. I am drawing his friggen mascot here. I can't believe I've been given this privilage.

I'm going to recieve royalties for it; I'll be paid really well, apparantly. I never thought this could go this far, but it is. I'm so excited that it's completely insane.

So I'm really fuckin hyped. I'll post pictures of the building sometime within the next year.

woot.

Sorta kinda gone
See, my mom's up from Ontario for a week.. and my fiance's on vacation for two..

And though I love the net and rpgs, I love Luke and my mom who I haven't seen for two yers better.

So I'm kinda afk.

Sorry about the no notice. I'll still be posting.. just.. not as much.

Ciao.

The drawing...
Is of Hope (for whoever knows who that is.)..

It's a bit stylized and might be cheesy, but it's here:

:) I like it. I started this a few days ago.

Now I sleep.

Slleeepp..

Better now..
I just went for coffee with my brother. It wasn't bad, I guess.. I was supposed to go with some other people, but they bailed on me last minute.. so yeah. Fun stuff.

Work was better today. Much less angst. I was smily. Tips were gracious.

My mother will be up on Tuesday to visit me, and I'm nervous. I don't know how I'll act, what I should do.. she doesn't really know how I dress now.. I haven't seen her in two years..

I'm slightly nervous, to be totally honest. But I'm sure things will work out.

I'm going to draw something and then go to bed. I should be in bed by four today. I wish I wasn't such a damned insomniac.

I. HATE. OLD. NAVY!
Why are we getting an American store in our mall anyway?! Why did we build this horrible awful conglamerate?!

..agh. That was the longest shift of my life.

See, I worked afternoons today. Afternoons aren't usually so bad; I mean, you get the few odd customers, but it's not horribly busy... except, our mall just added an Old Navy store outside, so BAM; I had the busiest shift of my life today... the customers didn't stop coming....

Not once did I tell them to fuck off or screw themselves.

I was a very good girl.

.. but man.. that was hard.. I thought I wouldn't even get done closing until ten... and I was all alone, there wasn't anyone else working with me.

Moving on, though...

I just finished reading Queen of Wands, all the way back from the beginning. I also went to read Megatokyo, am still not impressed with it, and won't be going back.

What's the hype about? Seriously? The storyline is really.. quite bad, actually.

.. I'm grouchy. I should sleep.. because I work again. Tomorrow.

Seriously. I am not the sort of person who should be faced with the general public; today some guys called me a faggot out of their car window. I'm not sure why; I'm a bit perplexed, since I'm a girl...

I hate the world and everything in it. It's too hot to wear my trenchcoat.. and I really. really. need a day off..

Blech..
I have no idea what to do right now. I'm hella sick.

I will now list my allergies:

ibuprofin
alcohol (including rubbing alcohol, salbutamol, and the type you drink..)
cigarettes
most cough medicine

So.. honestly.. being sick sucks big time. Cause there's not much I can do about it. I downed a bottle of children's tylonol in less than four days.. at least it's grapey..

I work today, but I refuse to call in or anything. I'm an extremely stubborn person, and I refuse to just accept that I'm sick and give up. I'm not so bad now.. didn't sleep so much last night.

Ah..

Otherwise.. I don't know. Things are alright.

The fuckin idiot Forumer guys still won't send me my goddamned password for my forum. I've got something like a hundred posts under the guest account I made. It's really friggen stupid.

I mean, whats the point if they don't do anything?

I went downtown with Luke yesterday. Which was kinda cruddy. It was too hot for my trenchcoat, so I had to take it off.. then I had no pockets.. and I really like my pockets..

I wanted to go home, but I didn't want to be a pain in the butt because of it, so I just kept whining without realising it.

I wanted to sit down or something, but Luke didn't catch on until I actually told him that. -_x I'm acting too much like a girl lately. Gotta stop that.

Anywho. Had an asthma attack on the cosway.. the tourists like to smoke, and they all walk slowly.

Luke took pictures, though, they're friggen awesome. ^_^;

One of me is here:http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/7375582/

Anyway. I'm gonna go.. I don't know. Maybe I'll draw.. or something else equally pointless..

Ja Ne,
