@ Moods: *patpats* You're at least finishing something. Me? Hah, forget it XP
@ Cinderella: My advice with the job apps; don't apply to McDonald's, no matter how desperate you are. Having your brain be in survival mode all the time is not worth it. |
@Taiyo: oh, I'm not planning to. Not looking at retail either because I can't handle that kind of stress. I want something I can make a career out of (not to knock retail as a career! It's just not for me), but it's really hard to find things I'm even vaguely qualified for because I didn't major in a "desirable" field and I don't have much work experience either.
|
Ahh, yes. The ol' "we can't hire you because you don't have ~experience~". And when ya get it, suddenly you've got too much and they want someone with no experience that they can train...can't win either way.
I'm gonna stick with being a personal assistant X'D. I like not being miserable! Also, time for kitties. And sleep. |
I've been working on losing weight. I gained a bunch of weight in the last maybe 2 years or so. I'm trying to get back to a healthy weight.
Sofar, I've lost 20lbs since I started in April. :) Though I've got at least 50 to go, but it's a gradual thing. It tends to come off really fast at first. |
Key word being at first. It'll still be coming off, though ^^

@ Ella: Hello! How has it been going with the job hunt? Can I ask what you majored in? ^^; I have a handful of friends that were education majors and they have a lot of difficulty landing a job. It's such a bummer... @ Moody: Lol, maybe you need an accountability partner for your personal projects. I'm the same way (most of the time). Shame is my primary motivator I think [gonk] ---------- Post added 05-10-2019 at 12:32 AM ---------- Next week is finals. Yippee!! |
Woooo finals! The mess of school (for now?) is almost over!
|
Yup!! #blessed that each final is on a different day as well. I had 3 midterms in 1 day and my hand was a CLAW after. [gonk]
Taiyo, you're changing your avatar? I didn't get a chance to ogle it yet but I noticed it had a cool color scheme while I was scrolling thru. |
hehe, thanks! X'D. It should be in my album somewhere...
And now to start putting together a new avatar X'D |
XP found it in Ruby's thread. Go figure.
Should I sleep now for 4 hours before finishing my final project or should I just try to hammer it out? I'm already running on a major sleep deficit. :( 6 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours.. I hope I don't die tbh. |
I'm usually the one who says at least a little sleep is better than none at all?
And I have no idea wtf I'm doing with this avatar right now.... |
You got a point there. Guess I'll be back in a few hours.
lol. It's interesting, to say the least. |
Whatever it is, apparently it's something creepy X'D
|
Haha hmm, I wonder why. [lol]

I've been listening to an artist's podcast on youtube who is also a life coach so that has been helping a little. The most I can do for myself in my work is just do studies of lips. So that is something. Though i have to skip mermay again this year. [gonk] |
What is a mermay? I'm only picturing a bunch of mer-men
Lips are weird when they're part of your job. :thinking: |
Mermay is literally a month of drawing mermaids. I figured I'd do it this year as an experiment.
|
That's cool. So Taiyo, you're doing it, and Bats is gonna skip it..
May is almost half over. I think the time to commit was like, yesterday anyways. [lol] |

to really enjoy it. Because It's kind of like...I am proving to myself that I CAN make pretty art. Even if it's only for studies. Yeah, mermay is a drawing challenge. You follow a prompt for a whole month and draw a new mermaid for each prompt for each day or every other day if you can't do the whole month as a lot of artists[including myself] get burnt out from these month long challenges very easily. But I haven't been able to do it for two years since learning about it. Something always gets in the way. [:(] |
I always thought that a month was too long of a commitment. Many people also struggle with being discouraged once they find it hard to keep up with a schedule. Hopefully one day you can do it.
And if you need someone to keep you accountable, we're always here. :) |

Mostly I'd just like to fit in a lot more of my lolita items by the fall. I have so many things I haven't worn yet or barely was able to enjoy because I put on a bunch of weight. ;A; |
That's a great motivator! Would love to see your outfits once you're ready. :)
I recently purchased some clothes off Amazon. They were made in China but they were so cute.. I always wanted some slightly gothic/frilly/lacey work shirts, but omg their sizes run insanely small... I can imagine that you run into the same problems with lolita fashion. Love your current avatar, by the way. |

Then I have other things where I should really be around a 40" bust or less to wear comfortably. A lot of the stuff is made to be pretty flexible though, there's a lot of elastic in the back and sometimes all the way around and you can usually adjust straps to make them longer for a better fit. I've seen some stuff from China though that ran really tiny. This isn't so bad though, believe it or not. :x This was at a con last month. I'm actually a bit smaller than this now, I think maybe an inch and a half? SPOILERThank you! I needed an avi change. :B Yours looks great too! |
Ohhhhh, that's too cute!
Well in any case, it's good that everything will still fit after you hit your goal. The styles themselves are flattering for all body types. Personally I am a fan of how frills and ruffles hide my small bust. [rofl] |
