Thought I'd put this journal to use and upload a few things that aren't on my FA or are WIPS.

( Art under here! )

Suuup?

Pondering turning this into a sketches blog, mostly because I never update >.> Opinions? Or does no one read this anyway xD!!

Also, Midfur was gewd, N shit, America next year looks more and more likely, Colorado Institute of Taxidermy has said they got a spot for me for June-August as long as I can get the Visa I need :O! That's going to be interesting, and terrifying xD! So damn nervous about the whole another country, so far away from home thing. But at the same time, I'm pretty excited too.

<3

Did first day of volunteering at the RSPCA yesterday. OMG KITTIES. >.> Far, far too cute seriously. Already one I want to take home xD white cat, one blue one yellow eye, two year old desexed male called Spunky xD he is such an adorable cat. A good few other adorable cats, a black one called Mika was being far too cute and kept nibbling on my fingers xD A few gumpy cats there too xD didn't get them out of the cages, but spent some time with em.

Finally have a job, working heaps now. At the Reject Shop at Marion, sometimes at Colonnades too. Thats working out well :D finally got an income haha.

Hmm, what else... Oh, on the way home last night collected a dead bunny off the road. Fresh, still warm ;-; Got home n told mum I brought home a bunny and she thought I meant a live one xD she had the insta >:C! face.

Thats about it that I really want to go into >.> got other stuff, but yeah. Moral problem on if I should keep my mouth shut or tell a friend about something. Aaand Nanna is back in hospital (was checked out for about 2 days >.>) got permanent heart damage and my uncle is now making all the medical decisions. Still no idea whats wrong >.>

Anyway, now thats it :P

Huge update - cos Fala was whining that I never update lol


Job/Work - Finding a job sucks, seriously. Graduated last year and been applying at places since then - had one interview so far and it was for something I didn't even apply to, wtf! lol. Still applying to places - hopefully will get something soon, even just Christmas casual is something >.> just as long as I can get time off for Midfur.


Midfur - Yay! Booked flights for it a while ago. Still have to stop being lazy and call about accommodation n book that. Get $30 from Amy to cover flights still. Make sure Nix has the money for accommodation before I book so Dad isn't out too much monies. I honestly can't wait - it's going to be so much fun x3!! Not to mention going to Melbourne again haha.


Bad stuff - My Uncle Paul died on 10th of August at 11PM (Also my brothers 23rd birthday) the funeral was on 21st. The funeral wasn't what I was expecting - expecting it to be fairly sad, was actually good. At the end of all the formal parts we stood around and talked with relatives. A lot of people came from overseas and interstate for the funeral. Huge amount of people there, was good to see so many people. Definitely going to miss him. He had a great sense of humor and an awesome outlook on life. Especially seeing how he has been in pain for around 7 years due to the cancer. At least he is no longer in pain. Oma and Opa have taken it fairly hard though, Dad seems alright.

Internet is down atmo - Actually writing this in notepad and going to copypasta it to livejournal once its back up haha. The line has been cut so many times lately that its getting water into the line >.> GG Telstra and workers. Mum had been mega moody since the net went down - until she recharged her phone (she has two, one she bought just because it can connect to the comp and use the internet via the computer.) and has been on the internet ever since then. Addict? yeaaahhh lol can't go a day without the internet and Eve - will set up the phone if it's down too long. I've been working on commissions and watching House - Dads on the PS2, working, or doing stuff around the house. Mum has been on Eve whenever she is at home. Could go into this a lot more, but no point ranting xD


RSPCA - Did training for volunteer work at the RSPCA today - seems like its going to be interesting. Way too many adorable cats there omg~ haha I applied to work with cats atmo, though I prefer dogs. Cats seem easier to start off with and get to know everything. Also want to work with rodents. Rabbits, rats, ferrets etc. So once I start there I might update more on that. Going to be hard to not being home animals all the time though >:3 :D xD


WoW - After my account got hacked - got everything back, well, almost everything. Never got the pets back, the festival ones and the quest ones. Kinda irked about that because I was collecting them - buuut now I'm collecting mounts >:3 haha. Also started working on getting the lowbie pvp gear (hey, cheap epics! yaaaaaay!) and it's an upgrade from what I have, so might as well go for it. Also working on Netherwing rep and Nagrand dudes rep to go for the mounts there - Along with leveling lowbie pets. Hmm, Also leveling a priest, level 41 so far :D


Furs - Been going to almost every Friday/Saturday coffee meet. Been a ton of fun. Been going to Mars a fair bit with them. And I'll admit to Fala :P I was semi nervous about it the first time too, wasn't sure what to expect buut it's awesome! Always have fun there. Been good seeing everyone so often, especially lately with all the stuff with Uncle Paul - gives me a chance to relax and forget about it all. Hmmm, Gotta do something for Pete, Mea and Tal still. Whee Disturbed ticket x3!! Also want to do something for everyone, cos I loves them x3 but yeah ;P thats secret for now - and want to finish off some other stuff first so I have more time.


Hmmm I think thats it for an update haha :P So there you go Fala! can't bug me now can ya! >:3

Oh, I also ended up posting this using mums phone - while checking email for job stuff - still nothing ;-;

I laughed :P



Plus, worth trying n fun.

<3 <3



edit:
yay! found when he was first on The Sideshow

Went on Friday with friends from school, Luke n Vikkie n Karina, was fun, bought myself a stuffed Cat shark (its hilarious, has cotton wool in it for stuffing, sewed up with fishing line) and a Saw fish nose <3! plus another emu leg skin :P brings my leg skin number up to two hehe. Saw the League of Sideshow Superstars for the first time. Oh my god, Space Cowboy <3! sword swallower, 70cm sword. Also swallowed one of those balloons you turn into animals, put the mic to his throat, then put the sword down, could hear it pop XD then another one of the sideshow people brought out these long tongs... he pulled the popped balloon out of his stomach. Also swing an iron from each eye socket attached by fish hooks. Plus he had the most purty wing tattoo's, highly recommend googling him to have a look. Others on the show were Tiger Lil, did a buncha stuff with power tools, made it look like she was pissing sparks :P very cool. Itsy Bitsy Rema, 1m tall belly dancer, only thing that really creeped me out about her is that her head reminded me SO much of one of my friends, weird. Shep Huntly, stuck his arm in a dingo trap and later lifted a car battery by nails through his nipples, with the electricity going D:! and Kyra Maniac, local Adelaidian that did a bunch of cool stuff with hula-hoops.

Went again on Sunday with a few people i met on the meet, had a ton of fun with those guys again, plus saw League of Sideshow Superstars again, only difference between shows this time was Space Cowboy got a power drill, replaced the drill-bit with a sword blade, top of the drill had a bit sticking up on fire, he swallowed the sword (with top of the drill on fire) then turned it on. Power drill was spinning above his head :P was awesome.

Week later on Saturday was the last day of the show, had nothing to do, so thought what the hell and went again. Poked around more, saw the winning dogs. One of them, a border collie, was a Devandine, same breeder as Stormy and Kiba, was a beautiful dog too, and larger than Kiba. For a border collie kiba isn't small either. Gave in and watched the League of Sideshow Superstars the 3 times they were on that day. Got the chance to talk to Space Cowboy too (omg) and he signed the show guide with an article on the show and gave it to me, was grinning like a moron for the rest of the day. This guy is one of my idols, he is such a nice guy and is so good with an audience and is an amazing performer, plus, he swallows swords, thats not a trick you come across often :P and holds two world records. First underwater sword swallow (In a shark tank lol) not sure what the other one is, but I think its the longest sword swallowed (72cm) gotta check on that.

Chris n Laura picked me up from the show n we went to the hospital to see Nana, she was looking heaps better and brighter, so hopefully she is out soon. I hadn't heard much about what was wrong with her, just heard irregular heartbeat. Parents didn't actually tell me she was in hospital, just heard them talking on the phone with Pete >.> Went back to Chris n Laura's n Laura made teriyaki chicken n rice for dinner, zomg, awesome, as always <3

All in all, I had an epic weekend.

Oh! and at some point during the week, cant remember what day, I walked down the road after seeing something on the side, wasn't even half way to it when i smelt something dead, looked left and there was a dead fox RIGHT off the road, hidden in the grass. Kept going and it turned out to be a baby magpie, bad condition so i left it and went back to the fox. Was then faced with the problem of i only had 4 plastic shopping bags with me, and it wasnt a small fox. After much squidging i managed to fit it into one plastic bag (how i managed it im still not sure, it bearly fit) and stuffed that bag inside another few and carried it home. Was in amazingly good condition, so much so that i'm not sure if it got hit by a car or not, couldn't find any broken bones at all. Shame it was too old to skin, fur was already falling out and it had maggots >.> Its out in the house of rot, by the crow and the rabbit n other fox. Hopefully all its bones are intact :3 plus its male, could make a baculum necklace, most amusing conversation starter ever? "So... whats that on your necklace?" "its a foxes peener bone :D!"

Yesterday went to my first SAFurs meet, i really had no idea what to expect. Got to Adelaide super early (9.40) and walked around for a while, looked at fur in Spotlight and Lincraft, for Blue Moo, had some alright furs, but not cheap. Went to JJ's and tried to get an Aquaman shirt, none left :( then wandered around a bit more, got to about 11.30, started heading to the balls stopped at the body shop just beforehand n got more soap, saw a group of people by the balls and one of them (Wildcat) was wearing ears, thank god she was too, otherwise i dont think i would have walked up to them haha. I had a fair idea what Fala looked like, but with the beard :P haha i wasnt sure, but it was all good.

We waited around until 12.15 by then everyone had got there, head count of 19 people! was awesome. Walked bout halfway to Chinatown and did introductions, so many people to remember >.> i feel bad for not remembering about half or more of them, they are all such awesome people. After that we went to chinatown, had lunch n sat around for an hour n a half, then cruised around the shops there, bought some crazy japanese and asian stuff. Mmmmm pocky <3! plus those crazy chalk tasting biscuit things lol and i so have to get some of the grape fanta.... Cruised back to the mall and then to the comic book store, Prox got an Aquaman comic for Aquaman's birthday (oh man me and liam and Prox are so dead over that) and i sucked it up and bought the directors cut of JTHM <3! for $38. Then we all wandered to the botanical gardens, sat around talking and i shared around the Pocky, the art nerds got art nerdy and sat around flicking through each others work (holy crap, amazing artists there) found some weird fruit/nut things, Wildcat said they were figs. Sadly i had to leave earlyish, had to catch the 5.02 train home, really do wish i could have stayed longer, it was so damn fun and everyone was so friendly and awesome to be around, mass hugs before i left <3 n'awww so cute, was hell grinning on the train remembering how awesome the day was. I guess thats the summary, now for the ramblings.

Oh my god, finally met Fala after first talking to him 2 years ago then loosing contact, was awesome to finally meet up with him! awesome guy, super skinny wrists :P haha <3 and Ymir with his caterpillar in his soup lol and he really -does- look like Mr Tumnus. Chatted to Robbie about taxidermy/preserving/etc stuff, the art nerdiness was awesome, and zomg thank you so much Jaffa for the red eraseable pencils! started using them that night :3 and this is where it sucks not remembering everyones name yet, but i guess it was just so awesome with everyone, all so friendly and welcoming, open, overall awesome hehe.


My brother came around in the morning, told me there was a fox just down the road, so i drove down with him and it turned out to be a huge hare, brought it home, skinned the front bit off the hind legs, took its ears n tail, got it all in salt now, and the body went out to the house of rot for the bones, the rest of the skin had bits of fur missing in places and it was starting to fall out a bit, didnt want to spend the time skinning it to have it all go to waste when i have school work to do.

And on friday was the usual friends night out, much fun, on the way home Luke and Lachie found me a dead crow, streight to the house of rot! nasty smelling >.> real nasty, pulled out its main wing feathers today when i put the rabbit out there, seemed to be the source of the smell too, looks like the inside part of the feathers (at the base) were rotting or something, was a young crow too, cut the ends off all of them, so hopefully the feathers are alright now, just hope i cut all the nasty bits off.

Well, i guess thats it for now hehe.

Left to go to Pancakes (Pancake kitchen, aka Pankakke <3!) around 10.30, got there at 11.30ish, left at 12.30 :3 made a smaaallll detour on the way home. Some weeks ago a fox got hit on a particularly busy road. So at 2 am i'm out there with a friend roadkill collecting :P Honestly i couldn't stand to leave him there any longer, partly out of respect, and partly because i wanted another fox skull, or at least what i could salvage.
Foxxie is now chilling with more dead friends out with the chooks, he isn't in the greatest shape, but i'll see what happens with him.

And with more news, One friends formal tomorrow n then mine the next day, hopefully everything cruises smoothly, got everything (i think!) for them, so it should be good!

Went to lincraft while getting nails today, got myself some very nice short soft brown fur, reminds me of either a seal or otter, thinking of making a partial out of it :3
