Hello everybody! Sorry to bother you, but I have been having some problems with ImageReady since I got my new computer, and I need to know if there are any other good applications for making animated emotes out there? I would prefer freeware, but I'm open to all suggestions. Anyone?

Hello everyone! Long time no journal.

I am very sorry that I have been so slow with replying to comments. I have been terribly busy recently. I am no longer unemployed, in fact I have two jobs now. It is really tiring because one of them is a paper route where I have to get up at 2AM in the morning.

Also, =Passacaglia28 came over and visited me for the entire month of June! It was wonderful, we had so much fun! I was really sad when he had to go back...

<random complaining> My cheek hurts. I'm afraid it's because there is an inflammation in the area around one of my wisdom teeth. I hate going to the dentist, it scares the life out of me! Why does all this have to happen to me, I don't think I take bad care of my teeth... </random complaining>

I think this will have to do for this update. Oh, and can I ask you to please click some of my dragons and creatures below? They need clicks to grow... Thanks!

Hello again

I'm about to order a Wacom Bamboo Fun! However, I'm not sure if I should go for the A5 (medium) or A6 (small) model. Any advice? Is A6 too small? Or is A5 too big? What is most comfortable to work with?

Advice/opinions are rewarded with hugs!

~Journal Prelude~

After I fell back asleep this morning (I'm still unemployed) I was dreaming that I was an intern at some sort of kebab meat factory (yeah...). There was one guy who fell into the meat grinders. He screamed and I could hear the bones break and everything. It was a very vivid dream. THAT'S IT, no more kaviar sandwiches before I go to bed, and no more going back to sleep when the sun is shining directly in my face. Tomorrow, I'll be out of bed by 7 am.

~A concert!~

My organ teacher is forcing me to play at a concert on Tuesday! She has asked me to participate in concerts before, but I have always said no... Now, she says she won't listen to any excuses. It's a student concert where all the choir/piano/organ students sing or play something so it's not like all the responsibility rests on my shoulders only, but it still makes me nervous. I have never played for an audience before.

~Art~

In other news... I have three new and totally awesome character designs on my desk, but I can never seem to get the drawings to look like I want them to. *sigh* I don't understand. I thought that now when I have all the time in the world to create, I could draw all the ideas I had and I could start working on my Evestears story, but... It seems that I need limited free time to be able to do something productive with it.

¤%¤#¤%, I was going to put a link to a hilarious youtube clip of The Daily Show here, but I can't view the video anymore because of some frigging copyright claim. Oh well, here's an awesome piano version of Finntroll's "Trollhammaren" instead: [link] One day, I will play like that. Except I will play it on a huge church organ. With all the stops out. In the middle of the night.
