Rants: Everyday Venting

[Dax Declan]

Yea. I've got a feeling once I turn 18 he's gonna want nothing to so with me. Cuz then his sooal security check is gonna drop a lot.

It pisses me off that so many people give their friends free passes when they do something wrong, or even ENCOURAGE their wrong-doing. I understand you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings, but when something is up, you need to set that aside and do what's right. If they can't handle that, it's their fault, not yours.

For example, I had to warn my mate multiple times for what he said in the IRC, and I didn't just let it slide because we were going out. I gave him warnings, then personally told him "Nuh, don't do that again, hun. It's inappropriate, against the rules, etc." And he listened and understood. If your friend or mate or whoever has a bitchfit over you politely pointing out something wrong they did and asking them to stop, give them time to cool off and think. If they refuse to listen and stop being friends or block you, good riddance.

I'm just so very tired.

If my dad gets one more dog I'm gonna scream. I just got a brand new VERY expensive comforter set. Which is dry clean only. And his two hell hound/English bull terriers are f***ing ruining it. And I get to wake up to one of them jumping up and scratching my eye. Twice.

ARGH I suck at code interviews

While I'm at home and school I'm making a video game in C#, I made a dating website in CGI perl, I can do just about anything confidently with Linked lists, trees, graphs and the like.

But in a timed code interview when asked "reverse words in a string", I rush it, make small little mistakes I didn't check before submitting, and feel totally shit

All I want is for my Dad to accept me. I don't get why he has to be so weird about the things I like and are attracted to. It makes no sense to me.

He's already a very stressed person, so why on Earth does he make more things to stress him out?

Oh no... Terry Pratchett has died


I know it has been coming for a while but it still is a terrible shock.  66 is too young.


A great author, thinker and human.  He set the bar high for anyone wanting to make the world a better place.


A great loss.

I'm just so very tired.

As am I. I haven't been full of energy for the last few days.

*sigh* I see someone who just started doing their own art who colored stuff for some well known artists able to start their bids at $50. All I can get out of mine is $15 and I've been working on it for years longer than they have. 


I don't know what else to do. I'm on FA, DA, Weasyl, SoFurry, AND InkBunny and I've advertised on FA. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I've tried making friends with popular artists, but I just don't know how to talk to people. Maybe this type of job isn't right for me after all....

Have you tried getting people to shout you out? Or adding your art to groups?

[TMAlt]

I've tried something I call feature freebie friday, but the problem is most of my watchers don't have a lot of others watching them and one of my pieces spread through a ton of groups over on DA. Still nothing. I do the same for my fursuits, but I still don't get very far with it.

Oh I see. Hmm...

Decided to try and watch the the lord of the rings trilogy again.
Bad move.

Hardly made it past the first movies intro speech thing before I started to feel bad.

[The Past]

I never got into doing commissions. I've been dealing with terrible artist block due to personal issues the past few years. I would love to do them at some point, but I don't plan on trying to get a lot of money. And perhaps that's a good thing because I'd have to pay taxes if I get enough income with them, as far as I know. Paypal's fee is enough. :I

On-topic and related, it seems some artists charge a lot for very minimal, wonky artwork. I can understand investing in the artist and giving them practice so they can improve, but often I don't really see much change over time, and even with the "investment" take on it, they still charge a stupid amount. I'm surprised these people even get commissions.

[Dax Declan]

Hurray. Another "you're a **censor** up" speech this morning. But this one was to the max. So now I'm hiding in the bathroom crying. God I feel like such a child.
