It is 46 right now where I am. Brr.

It's always cold here D:

I dislike the cold. especially where i live.. it feels like it goes right to my bones..

Once I get truly chilled, it is very hard for me to get warmth back into everything. I,too, dislike the cold.

yeah i have that problem, that and i have no cartilage in one knee, so the cold makes it ache something fierce. and now i have a shoulder that's doing that to 'sigh'

but winter can look adorable 'nods and shares a pic'

I love how the point of view is from indoors

i know right im thinking of reduing my 'hearth and home' images with some of hte cute things i've found.

yes 'nods' it does. Homey is very very nice..

They make me wish I was better at pixeling.

they make me wish i could draw 'nods'

That too... but I tried that and I'm so not a drawer

I like to draw sometimes, but I wouldn't venture to say I'm good at it. I'm not terrible at some things, but most of the time I basically draw the same pose for everything. I'm trying to get away from that, but it's difficult when I've not had any formal instruction. I had some help from a friend and drawing books, but I mostly draw what I see.

Which is harder than it sounds lol.

Sorry for rambling. XD

I'm that way with pixeling. Working on getting into more poses right now ^^

All good Rose ^^

Gotta agree... not easy to learn alone. I at least have a friend giving me a little inspiration.

So I did something which my brother that I live with categorized as "dumb sh*t".


It was storming and I decided I want something from the grocery store. I waited until it let up and then left. It didn't rain on me all the way there. That isn't to say I didn't get wet. There were giant puddles across every place I needed to cross and the roads were somewhat flooded.

So I got to the store safely, and it was no big deal. I got what I wanted and checked out. Again, this was not a complicated matter. When I left the store it was not yet raining again. I walked as quickly as I was able and reached the McDonald's that is the halfway point when it started yet another deluge.

So I went inside said restaurant and waited until the rain stopped once again.

According to texts from my mother, my brother was terrified and throwing up because I went out in this weather. I don't know if he actually threw up, but he was pretty crappy with me when I came home and told me if I was going to do this"dumb sh*t" I needed to find another place to live.



The only good that came of this was that I did get what I intended at the store for later and I got a chance to stop for some cookies.

That was the highlight of my day.

I don't understand this "Vomit cause I'm worried" stuff...
First of all... unless you're on a mountain you're fine. Unless you're holding lots of metal, you're fine. And unless you have an allergy to water... well worst you can do is get a cold.

I was totally fine. My mom gave me a stern talking to a little while later on the phone, but I was just calm about it. It really stressed them out apparently.

I do feel bad for causing them stress, since I didn't mean to do that, but gosh darn it I'm a grown woman and should be able to make my own choices.

Well... *checks profile* Geeze... and they still fuss at you?!

Yes, Poet. They still fuss at me and give me guff over...pretty much everything. I'm working on finding a job so I can strike out on my own and have a little more freedom.

Freedom would be lovely...
Hoping to have that by next year myself.

Good luck to you as well. How is everyone this afternoon?

Yes, I am also in the "I'm a grown woman damnit! Treat me like it!" camp.

I don't think families/parents ever really start treating us like grown women.
I know my dad still likes to treat me like his little girl sometimes & I haven't lived in the same house as my parents in over 10 years.

Umm.. Damia, does he come to your house and order you to go to bed if it's after midnight?

Ouch... if someone came over and acted like that I'd be like "Go home"...
