*takes deep breath*

I miss the internet...and I miss my sewing machine....no, I need my sewing machine! And I desperately want my cat And I miss talking to all you guys too especially Steve and AJ and Ishali

But, on the very bright side I am now living with Adam...finally, after much stressing myself out. But I am finally here (in Wales) and it is all going pretty good, although I am still settling and may be for quite a while.

I'm super duper excited for going home for christmas though I love Christmas...it's my favourite holiday...I just love giving, it makes me happy...and it maes others happy too

Speaking of christmas...if anyone wants to order anything from ~x-DorkSide-x I would do it really soon to be sure it gets to you in time! *has a severe lack of faith in the postal system* andandand! if you do order Christmassy things I promise i will cram pack your envelope with whatever goodies I can.

Um...what else?...Oh yeah! You've probably all forgotten about my last journal (the "what should I re-name DorkSide" one) and I want to say thankyoooouuuuuu for all your suggestions and such but I think that ~ishali definately won that one. We're going to try and base our business name/identity around your suggestion of "Rawr!" So, Ishali my love, send me a note with what kind of goodies you'd like and I'll send you something awesome, cus you deserve it n_n

Uh...I think that's it. I could be very wrong though Hope you're all well!

Yes. Yet again I am calling on you, my beloved dA buddies. A bunch pf you know that I have a little shop type thing going on called Dorkside But, while I love the name, it's not very original and I need something that stands out in a crowd. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a new name. Any suggestions are welcome. You may want to follow these links to see what we're about [link] [link]

I'm going to run this as competition too! So, if you are the genious who comes up with the new name, then you will get a great big goody bag!

Ok then. Right now I have no job, I refuse to tidy the house before my family begin to make an effort, I have no orders coming in and my creativity is hanging by a thread. I have nothing to do. So I dare you to challenge me.

While I do not claim to be a great artist, it would be silly of me to say that I have no artistic abilities at all (in fact, I'm sure saying that would infuriate a lot of people). I want to build on what I have and expand and just generally become better. But I don't know where to start.

I want you to challenge me. It could be a fashion design peice, painted work or just an anime style request. I'm open to anything non-pornographic. Just comment here...or somewhere else....or note me or something and set your challenge! Just be sure to include things like references, photos, descriptions. For example, if you want a painting of a photo you have, I'll need the photo....or if you want a pencil sketch of someone...you get the idea. I'll list the challenges here and keep them updated.

Hey guys! How are you all doing?

Been having a weird day...a dizzy day...made weirder by the fact that I felt compelled to paint. Paint!! I'll try and showw you guys ASAP how that went!

My arty improvement to-do list is currently sitting at 24...and that's just the stuff I remembered to write down :sigh: In a serious creative slump right now which is annoying the heck out of me! Especially seeing as i have nothing else to do with my days right now because I'm out of education and out of work Oh well.

My subs guna rin out soon Guna miss it...I might renew it but honestly I'm more likely to sub ~x-DorkSide-x because it's more...business orientated whereas this is just me...this one doesn'y have to look all snazzyful and whatnot.

Also! I've just changed the website a bit *dun dun duuuun* Yeah, it's not black anymore...i think it's smarter and easier to read but please head over there and let me know what you think. I still haven't reached ten members yet so sign up too! You don't have to anything apart from put your name and e-mail in the box at the bottom of the homepage (might change where it is though...) [link]

And I actually have things in my Etsy store now so head over there too, it's a nice site to poke around anyhow...I'm a tiny bit addicted
