You will be strong, and want no more..
Sorry. Listening to VNV Nation. Wicked cool band, seriously.

Apologies for the absolute stupidity of last night's entry. I worked a very long shift, and it made me tired. I still say thats the coolest picture ever, but I will still apologise for any confusion I might've caused.

We all know I'm good at weirding people out.

(aside: Ow. Dude, I just cracked my back on purpose. It hurt this time. Weird.)

I came to an agreement with my client. (I'll stop saying boss, since you know, I'm kinda presenting the service.) I will offer a rate that I think is suitable before any commissions are done. I got eighty dollars for the last picture I did. Which was fair; it took me around eight hours to finish. I suspect the next one will take around twelve, since I need to draw a girl in a suit, so I get 120 dollars for that.

Also, I retain copyright to all my images, and get final say on where they're put and what they're used for. He can't franchise for three years (because we need to get the business off the ground first). I make a certain percentage of the business revenue too. So really, this may become my full time job soon. If it works. I hope so.

Fair? I think so.

Everything I make from this I put towards the house. At this rate, I can buy a house, in full, next year. Luke and I have saved 12000 dollars now, and we keep adding to it. I really believe we can do this.

Not bad for a college dropout, I say.

Ah. Also, Luke may have a government job soon, within a week, working in IT repairs. He'll get 17 dollars an hour! So we really hope so.

Wow. Things really look good now.

If I can get ahold of my best friend, maybe I'll take her for lunch.

As an aside, I promised my friend Chris I'd draw him his character. Sorry, Chris, it's gonna be a while. I gotta do this first. I'll get on it though. I'm sure pencil crayons are okay.

(Working for yourself is the most awesome feeling in the whole world. Besides love. Sorry, love's pretty bitchin.)

Alright! Somthing that's not work!

My cat has become an outdoor cat without me really agreeing. For some reason, in Victoria, nearly none of the buildings have screens on the windows. It's warm outside, so ours need to be open. She's very persuasive, and she's been outside a lot.

So I just let it go now. Two days ago she brought home a bird and I nearly screamed. I thought she'd killed the poor thing, and everyone knows how much of a sap I am for these sorts of things..

Turns out the bird was faking it, and as soon as my cat was gone, it put up a huge fuss in the living room until I opened all the windows (um.. I have one window.. and a door. eheh.) and it found it's way out. I felt really bad too, it hit the wall about six times. x.x

Ivy was unimpressed with me, but the bird was happy.

I have more to say, but I've really yammered on enough, so I'll post this now.

Oh! One last thing. Is anyone going to Anime Evolution in Vancouver? It goes from August 20-22. If anyone's going, tell me, and maybe we can meet there or split on a hotel. I'm meeting Space Coyote from Saturnalia!

Or I'm supposed to. Thats why I'm going.

Anyway. Thats all for now.

прощание!
