I really don't have any free time these days. Between my 20 hours a week of work and balancing my four courses (intermediate algebra and chemistry taking up most of my studying time), I don't have much free time. So, as much as I would like to just sit down, draw and comment and reply to comments, etc, I just can't afford it right now. My sincerest apologies to you all. I will be getting back to it at the end of the semester!
Thank goodness for Tokio Hotel's 2005 Schrei album! 14-year old Bill Kaulitz's amazing voice (prepubescent at the time of Schrei) and the catchy melodies and the instrumentals, along with all the songs being in German is the only thing helping my brain from fizzling out. I swear I never knew I could demand so much from my brain and keep on going. Honestly, I'm amazing myself lately!
Despite all this, I am still managing to keep a high average grade to remain in the Honor Society I joined.

P.S. If you are a fan of Tokio Hotel, you HAVE to hear the adorable songs from Schrei (German for Scream).

'Wo Sind Eure Hände' for rock and roll, everyone! XD
That means 'Raise Your Hands'

Edit: I made the Presidental Honor list last semester. It's the highest academic award given at my college. In addition to that, I have been invited to join the Kappa Beta Delta AND Phi Theta Kappa Honor Societies! I got a 4.0 GPA with 12 credit hours and so became eligible for this. I get many perks and a chance for a scholarship available inly to KBD members. Only the top 10% in my college even get considered for this, so it's a major accomplishment. I am so intelligent, that though everyone is proud of me, they are not surprised. I have SOO many great things happening in my life this year. It's the start of a wondeful rest of my life. All my wonderful friends are welcome to share it with me. I love you guys. You know who you are!! ^,^

Only took two weeks until I could could walk a bit on my foot again and three weeks for me to be able to walk without the crutches at all. I have been walking for a week and my latest x-rays say I have healed so much that I can have the pin removed on Tuesday. The rest of the swelling will subside once it is out. I'm hoping to return to work and continue making moolah in maybe two weeks.
I have been lifting weights and doing other tolerable exercises while my foot has been healing like crunches, push ups (lady style since I could not put pressure on my foot at that angle) and some strecthes. I have lost nearly 15 pounds in the past few months and am fitting into a bunch of clothes I grew out of.
Now I go out in belly shirts and show off my start of abs! I have a two pack right now and I have not even been doing many ab work outs!
I really need to get to the store to stock up on my fruits and veggies and yogurts!
Also, my hair is growing SOO fast! Three inches in three months, wow! I decided to add some blue and purple in a complicated mix of three colors since I am out of work right now. My hair has a wonderful wave to it at this length. People have actually asked me if I style it that way, but it's natural.
Also, I have been working on some awesome art lately. It is so accurate with the mysculature and hand details. Great poses, too. I have been working on my character for the Philly Otaku manga and his/her pet, a feathered wolf. I will upload them once they are complete a bit more. I have also been working on some creature designs and pets of other characters. I am drawing better than I ever have before!!!
I am so glad I got my art spark back. From the age of 4, everyone knew I would be a great artist since I drew 20 fingers on each hand, each with a red circle on the end for nail polish and nails, and circles for kneecaps, as well as a million crooked teeth in the mouths, along with eyelids and a gajillion eyelashes. I never wanted to leave any white, so I colored the eyes and teeth yellow.

I am going to Aria Health for some foot surgery this upcoming Tuesday. It's long overdue. When I was younger my feet (mostly my right) collapsed and started putting pressure on parts of my foot that there should have not been so much pressure. It started deforming my foot over the years. That's why it took me hours to find comfortable shoes that did not dig into my ankles when I was a kid. My parents just called it "low ankles." The tendon on the inside of my foot sticks out more than ot should and twitches when I am not on my feet, I have a boney knob that formed on the base of my big toe knuckle friom the friction(basically a bone callous), my big toe slants to the right, and the meta tarsial bone sticks out at a high angle. It's called a bunion.
To make matters worse, I am starting to get a freakin' plantar's wart on the heel of my other foot, the one that will be bearing all my weight for two months.
Luckily, my orthotics will be ready soon, so my bunions won't get any worse. They cost an arm and a leg. $410!

I have to have a sliver of bone removed from the meta tarsial to correct the angle and will have two pins in the bone so it can heal, they will shave off the excess bone from the knob, and they will partially sever the tendon to my big toe in two places to lengthen it.
I will be in a cast from toes to knee and on crutches for 6-8 weeks, and be out of work for 8-10 weeks. It's going to be tough not being able to go out and chill with my friends, but it will give me ample time to catch up on my art plans and finally try my new Prismacolor colored pencils. I'll really have to be extra strict with my diet so I won't put on any extra pounds. I have managed to get back down to 122 and would like to not be over 125 by the time I am healed. I don't want to go back to college not fitting any of my clothes.

She did not do him justice, either. She draws now how I drew when I was 12!

darkwitchpixy stole my character months ago and drew him and killed him off without my permission. Very low and immature. But I should not be surprised, she's not very creative or original. She changed his name and hid my comment about him so no one would know he was mine. Now the thief presents him as her own character. I can't prove that she stole him, as I never recorded the converstaions we had, nor did I draw him before, but I know and my friends know that she stole him. I will revive him. She has no control over him; I do. She first changed his name from Rorinn (the real spelling) to Rorrin and after that she made it Ronin. What an unoriginal name. He's my character and I will revive him. Just have to find time in my busy, busy life.
At least she can't steal Keratesiu, since I already drew him. And she can't steal my other awesome characters, either, especially the animals. She can't draw animals.

I will be working at a grocery store called Fod Basics. Luckily, they put me ahead of the other applicants. Having 2.5 years retail experience already REALLY pays off in this day's sh%$ty economy. I will finally be able to put money away to pay off my college loans, and buy my own food. Plus, having a bit of extra pocket money helps. Maybe now I can afford to get my driver's license, and not have my best friend Dave always spend money on me. Things are really looking up for me now! They have been ever since last November. (haha, Last November is a band I'm great friends with!)
