Smokeh's Random Stuff
...I've kept a LiveJournal for a long time, but I guess this is a better place to put all the stuff that most of my Gaian friends don't know about me. I'm a Breedable/Changing Pets whore! XD
And the obvious answer is.....
The problem is, and has always been, Smoke's story. Goddammit.

I have to muck my way through this so I can get Morion AWAY from Smoke.

Guardian character is cursed, I swear to gooooooodddd... gonk

*goes to bed after exhausting herself with crappy, horrible writing*


Again...
Preemptively staving off the angry mobs with a twig.

...not that I'm certain there are any angry mobs, and there probably really aren't, but I figure it won't hurt just in case. With that in mind, I'm not bitching at anyone except the empty air here. I don't want anyone to think this is directed at them in particular, because it's really directed at myself.

To Myself: You ******** suck, you know that? Christ.

To everyone else: I'm sorry I've been mysteriously absent. I have this bothersome habit of being mysterious absent, and it's not something I mean to do. Between work and lack of internet and exhaustion and the occasional drawing, there's not much free time left in my life. Very little, in fact. It's a wonder my boyfriend doesn't try to strangle me for being aloof, distracted, or always asleep. He is incredibly tolerant.

I really, really wish I were a student again. Or even better, someone living with parents or other people who would support me in joblessness. But this is not the case. I have bills to pay that will never be paid. On bad days I wonder where I'm going to get meals. I'm living in poverty, but thank god I'm not leeching off the government. I hope I never fall so far as to have to do that.

Why am I writing this? I dunno. I guess I just feel like ranting. In case some people will want to know where I am and why I'm "abandoning" my Fa'e.

The only answer I have for this pretend question is that maybe, if you feel that I'm "abandoning" my Fa'e, you should come pay my ******** bills and work my job and participate in a relationship which is not soley based around two people merely co-existing in one apartment.

Again, I'm not ranting AT anyone.

In better terms, I'm making my standpoint known before it becomes an issue.

But on a happier note... thank you Krista, for always being there for me, and for always gently reminding me to get my a** back here. wink I appreciate your thoughts and friendship.

Alright, now back to your not-so-regularly-scheduled dragon angst.

/Smoke out


....
Alright, update time.

As many people know, I moved from Arizona to Arkansas in mid-September. I landed a job pretty early after moving, but it doesn't pay very well -- and it's only been within the past week or so that I've moved into an apartment with an actual heating system and finally had the internet turned on.

I'm depressed again, but I'm trying not to let it get to me too much. I expected it, in a way... it seems everytime I go through some life-altering event, I spend half a year feeling miserable and trying to pull myself out of it. It doesn't help that I have no money for the medications I usually take, so in a month or thereabouts I'm going to be going through withdrawals as well. Really not looking forward to that at all. sad

It's not all been miserable... I have a job working at a gaming store, which is great. The people I work with are fun, and usually the customers aren't so bad either. But it's a lot of hours and stress at this time of the year. Hopefully it'll become more relaxed after December.

Now that I have the internet again, I'm going to force myself to write more on Morion's story at least three times a week. Though it shouldn't take very long to be caught up to the point where I can start RPing again. *sigh* I'm sorry it's taken so long, I feel that I'm a horrible guardian. But I'm not giving up.

Just wanted you all to know what's up with me and why I'm not around so much right now.


My god, I'm alive!!

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnsssssss....
Sorry I haven't been around much in the past couple weeks... life has been demanding a lot of me, and I have had very little internet time. >_> Hopefully I can get caught up with journals and such soon, but it may be a while longer... depending on how the next couple days go.

(Have I mentioned how badly I hate my job? Yessir, I do hate my job... xp )

I didn't even get to do the Gaia trick-or-treat... that sucks. At least I was able to get myself zombiefied, though.


Zzzzzzzzz...
So, I was supposed to go to bed like an hour ago... but the muse commaneded me to write, and so I did. Chapter Two of Morion's current story is up. Warning: it seems quite angsty on the surface (and I suppose it is, all things considered), but I tried to give it some substance as well. Morion's people are bound by their Oaths, so Morion is going to have a bit of a "curse" now because of his broken oath to Purrpurr. Ouch. Won't be anything life-threatening, but it will have an impact on his life.

The "watchers" will be revealed later.

I'd love to have comments if anyone reads it... I don't do enough writing anymore, so I'd like to know if I'm doing things okay or not. sweatdrop

Tomorrow I post a funny RP with Morion and Raeith (and Sophie!).

But now, I sleep. x__x


^_____^
Art puts me in my happy place! Huge thanks to Patchwerk, who's responsible for this loveliness. She did an utterly cute/psycho sketch of Smoke too, and I'll show off the finished pic when I get it.

Chapter 2 will be posted sometime tomorrow in Morion's journal, provided my muse doesn't flee the scene before then.
