I honestly didnt do it because i dont sing to anyone but me and my daughter and besides, i dont mean to sound just awful but i am very much a "leave everyone alone" type of person. So I am not the type of person to be constantly contacting Troy. It's just not who I am so I decided to sit that one out.

I think my band teacher and me have a different take on playing the flute aggressively.
I see it in a literal manner, as in I would aggressively attack the person sitting behind me. He sees it in a musical manner.
*sigh*

I'm so sick of snow. I always want it before Christmas, but by the end of January I'm ready for spring. This year we've just gotten blasted, 1-2 storms a week. This is really much more than we are used to. More snow coming Saturday, and then again mid-next week. I can only pray there won't be another one on the 15th, since that's Stewie's neutering surgery and I really don't want to reschedule that. Oh, Old Man Winter, what did we ever do to you?

I was taking some one shot requests back in november and i was doing really good cranking them out until i was hit hard with post partum depression issues and i finally got one done last night and the girl gave it a less than 50% review.......and now i am right back where i was before i wrote it and have absolutely no desire to write anything for anyone but me.....i have never been one to let things roll off my back very easily and i am handling this well, i just now have no motivation to do the others

I have the opposite problem. I have a lot of motivation, but despair at so much lack of skill. Everyone I asked to beta-read or help me brainstorm through blocks, marvelously snarky and analytical friends of mine with actual literature degrees and everything, would just say they didn't want to ruin what I already had. Lies! They regularly break down everything their students already have in terms of style and plot and characterization and everything! I'm just whining, though, they were probably just extra busy doing that for people who pay them, or taking a break from prose in their free time and playing Livejournal RP's, or would rather be finishing up KH Birth By Sleep, none of which I blame them for. So I posted a few chapters that even I knew totally sucked, but thought it would help get through my block if I just spit it out already, even if it wasn't perfect. (But it was worse than imperfect. I cringe when I think about how long I left it up.) I think the people who would've noticed how bad it was just didn't read on and didn't review, which I think is worse than a negative review because at least in the latter it means they take the time to read what you took time to write. Or something. You know? Anyway, if I was familiar with the fandom, I'd volunteer to beta-read your stuff. Or even ghostwrite. I want something new to hammer out, but can't think of anything.

I really hope my sister finds a job soon. She was let go from her job because she was honest and said she couldn't handle a managerial position so they told her they didn't have any room for her and gave her the boot.
I'm terrified she'll get depressed and return to old and dangerous habits. And to be honest, I don't know if I have the strength to go through that again.

awwww loves to your sister.....
and where i had a bad day in the fan fiction world, i had a great art day.....well more like an ok art day, im still playing around with the tablet.....in 24 hours, i have doubled my amount of deviations.....hopefully i will be producing a lot more work in the coming months......
my issue is that i am paranoid that my fics are mary sues.....many of them are self inserts because i dont know anyone's personality better than my own so it makes it difficult. I will be writing a Sasakibe one at one point if i can figure out how to do it, which is currently my main issue.

I hope everything goes well for your sister Plume.
I hate figuring out chords for music. I never know if I'm right or not.

Thanks guys, but it isn't getting better. She's been gone for two days and she isn't answering her phone. I've been through hell and back with her so many times I can give directions. I love her, but I'm getting older and just too tired to deal with all the pain.

I don't know what to say about that situation, but I sympathized so much that I couldn't just keep quiet.

Plume, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I sure hope she comes to her senses and gets it together soon. As for me, I just found out that Stewie is ringworm positive. I was sooo praying that wouldn't be the case since ringworm spores can live in an environment for up to 24 months and still be infectious (if you can call it that), so it's pretty near impossible to get rid of completely. So add that to his list of problems that we've had ever since we brought him home, and it's just par for the course. Now, on top of the azithromycin we've been giving him, we have to start giving him half a pill every day. And I'm also putting Neosporin on his ear for the staph infection twice a day. He can't get neutered until the ringworm infection is gone, since he can infect other animals at the hospital just by being there and shedding a few hairs into the environment. So he's to be re-tested in early-March so that hopefully he can get neutered by the end of March/beginning of April. It's also been brought to my attention that he was never tested (as far as we know) for feline leukemia and FIV. It's possible one of those could be responsible for his seeming immunodeficiency. *sigh* Well, if nothing else, I now know that all shelters are not created equal. If I ever adopt again, I know what questions to ask and what to look for. At the very least, I don't go to a shelter that doesn't test for FeLV/FIV. Why I always have to learn these things the hard way, I'll never know.

Poor Stewie. Why is it the sweet kitties that seem to be unhealthy?
*thinks about the past pets she's had*
Ah. Venting time now. ^^'
I went to my first staff meeting for a convention I adore to death. The meeting took forever and there was a new staff members party after the meeting that lasted FOREVER. Heck, it's probably still going at this point.
But I forgot that my friend who is a head for a department is with one of the executives for the con. Which is fine and dandy with me, but they kept disappearing during the new staff members party. I needed to ask him a few things and since he was the only exec there I kind of got stuck waiting around for them to show up.
I was pretty irritated by 11pm. I had a headache from lack of food and caffeine, endured 4 hours of meetings. I socialized and had fun at the party but my headache was pounding and I didn't care about this little prize thing they were doing. Since I was one of a few who didn't win anything (which all prizes were DVD's) I got $5 off at a vendors booth. 5 freaking dollars. Someone got an effing boxset and you want me to deal with 5 freaking dollars? I told him to just keep it. I didn't want it. I don't even go to the vendor they gave me the coupon for.
By 11pm I was watching a drunk person sing for Rock Band. As entertaining as it was, I felt bad for his young son that was with. He must have been 6 or 7 years old watching his dad get wasted and make an idiot of himself. Yay for wonderful role models?
But when my friend and the executive finally reappeared, I found out they had been chilling in his room for the last few hours. I didn't get her phone number before this whole event so I had no idea of getting a hold of her. I was pretty tired and irritated. We had someone bring us down and he wasn't too happy either. Poor guy had to work early this morning. I felt horrible for him.
Needless to say I was happy to get back to the dorm. Very happy.
