I do live... somewhat

/feebly attempts to knocks off some dust from blog

Hi. Yes, I am still alive. I've been better, but I am still alive. A lot of things happened in the last... eight months, I do believe ? Needless to say, those things weren't jewelry. It feels like so much has changed since I was gone, but I am hoping to be able to start making more things (be it more jewelry, or other art endeavors) if only to distract myself a little. It would do me some good, I think.

The assistant definitively missed being an assistant, I think.

I do not have much to offer for this post, only just a bit of word to say that yes, I am alive, no, I am not completely alright, but hopefully things will change for the better soon. I need to remember that hopefully this, too, shall pass.

I actually made my first jewelry piece in those eight months a week or so ago. I believe I shared it on facebook, but I wanted everyone who follows my blog (hopefully there are still some of you lurking about) as well. It came out a lot nicer than I expected it to, given how long I have been out of the loop.

On another note, I will be entering the Bead Soup Blog Party again this year. I am hoping some new components will be able to kickstart my brain once again, and I am hoping to reconnect with others as well. Working on my soups has been a blast, and hopefully choosing which one to send won't be too complicated. The signups start at midnight and go for all day tomorrow - February 9. This will be the only day for signups, so make sure to drop by tomorrow if you are interested.

*Grump*

Okay, I try to keep this blog mostly light-hearted and on track with my beading endeavors, but im kind of quickly reaching critical mass here.

Im really starting to wish I had never taken this vacation at all. July, so far, has been a trainwreck.

- Plans that have been made have been cancelled without so much of an advance notice at all, or even an apology
- My RL friends are acting like I don't exist at all
- About 80% of the internet is acting like I don't exist at all
- Im going through mood swings like a roller coaster thanks to point b and point c, which I will admit is not making people want to stick around for the ride.
- My computer threw a hissy fit, I had to reinstall, and I effectively locked myself out of my AIM account. Motherfuck.
- Attempts to redraw the art I loss thanks to point e had turned into complete and utter fail. Double Motherfuck.
- I got a bunch of jewelry components I ordered today, and they are not how I expected them to be. Triple Motherfuck.

At this point im very familiar with my bedroom ceiling because it seems like it's all I stare at.

But the most annoying part....

- Everything I try to do turn to shit.

Seriously.

Any attempt to work on Galaxia Insomnia has ended in total and utter failure (sorry, Jen)

My thrift store piece is also suffering from this. I've switched focal ideas 4 times, and all four attempts were complete and utter failures.

Grump, I say.

Grump.

The only good thing is that I don't have to worry about blog hops deadlines until august 4. But the point remain.

GRUMP.

Anyway, enough with the whine. To thank you for your patience, I have included an amusing picture of my assistant after a particularly wild night.

Yep.... He's sleeping in exactly what you think he is.

Now if you excuse me, I think I need more liquor.
