This has been a pretty uneventful month. Pair of months actually now that I think about it. Drawing is going alright, and I swear I will have posts of the stuff I've done soon. My other classes aren't going as well, but what are you going to do?

Anyway, this is probably going to be my last journal entry. For anyone interested in reading about what's going on in my life, I've set up something at [link] (I don't know how to make a link right in the text, so you'll have to copy and paste it). It'll have my usual ramblings, a section devoted to D&D, plus any stories I happen to write (got one up there right now based on one of my WoW characters, and my guildies have told me it's pretty damn good).

So yeah, [link] for future ramblings and status updates.

Later.

So class started back up for me a couple of weeks ago. I've got algebra, composition, and drawing 2 this semester. I'll be posting the stuff I do in drawing as often as I can, plus I'll post any sketchbook things I have that I like. Most (if not all) of it will be in ink, since we had to choose a colored medium to work in, and I like ink more than any of the other options we had. I already have one thing to post, I'm just being lazy about it.

I've finally managed to pick up a few comics and start reading them. So far, the ones I've read are Deadpool: Suicide Kings, Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth (first 2 issues only so far), the Commisioner Gordon 1 shot, issue 1 of Northlander, and Sinister Spider-man. Suicide Kings was great, I was sad it was a limited run series though. The artwork was very nice, I really liked the style the artists went with (pencils by Carlo Barberi, inks by Sandu Florea and colors by Marte Garcia). I plan on expanding on these few titles with many more including The Amazing Spider-man, The Dark Avengers, and The Invincible Iron Man. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.

Other than that, not much else to say.

Peace.

Went to an anime con in Grand Rapids last Saturday. Got a bit of a tour of the geek hot spots for when I go there.

Went to Pennsylvania for my brother's wedding on Wednesday. Got back earlier today.

I saw a fish.

That is all.

I hate not being able to sleep. I generally never have anything to do and there isn't even anything watchable on TV except for the weather channel. So mostly, I'm preoccupied with my thoughts, which are generally rather emorific as I'm sure you all know. Though I've at least had the decency to only do one journal a month lately.

So what's going on with me? Jack shit, as usual. My mom was moved to a different facility for her physical therapy. The place sucks and is three times farther away than where she was before. The insurance company moved her there so they could save money. They've been refusing to pay for my ER bill because apparently getting tests done to make sure nothing serious happened in a car accident has nothing to do with cars. They've been giving me the run around, telling me to call people I've already called and it's a whole load of bullshit.

My brother's wedding is next Friday. He's getting married in Pennsylvania. So I'll be away for 5 days, most of which involve at least 3 hours of driving. Not really looking forward to the wedding. I'm happy for my brother and all, I just hate gatherings that large. I know I'm gonna end up sitting at a table alone watching everyone else enjoy themselves.

I'm gonna be spending another glorious year here. My mom's gonna need a lot of help when she gets home, and somebody's got to be here to help her. So not going to Kendall for yet another year. Yay.

No, I've not done any artwork lately. I have something in mind I want to do though, but I'm gonna be too busy until after I get home from the wedding to work on it at all. If I decide to even do it.

So yeah, been awhile since my last entry. Not sure why I'm bothering writing a new one either, but eh, what're you gonna do?

My mom's still in the hospital. Well, technically she's in a different hospital now. She's at the Rehab Institute of Michigan. It's probably the best place for physical rehab in the midwest. The Red Wings and Tigers send their people there, so they've gotta be pretty good. She's able to move her arms okay and can grab things with her left hand. The right arm and hand were more severely damaged than the left, so it'll take her at least an extra 6 months for her right hand to recover. She's finally gotten a bit of movement out of her legs. It's not much, but it's infinitely better than nothing. They're more working on her balance and such before they work on getting her walking. Which makes sense. It takes a surprising amount of balance to walk. She said the doctors are planning to discharge her in a month. The insurance company wants her out in 2 weeks though, so not sure which it'll be. She's not going to be coming back her once she's discharged though. Our house just isn't at all setup for someone in a wheelchair. My dad's seeing if the insurance company will pay the money for an addtion to be built for her, so that she can live here. It's not unheard of, but we're not sure if they're willing or not. Our lawyer's been a big help during this whole thing. He's a nice guy too. Guess not all lawyers are heartless bastards.

I haven't gotten to play D&D in more than a month. Something's always come up, usually school work. It's really frustrating. I'm 2 adventures away from finishing a campaign completely for the first time ever. All my other ones have ended prematurely for one reason or another, and it's always left me kinda feeling... I dunno. Tomorrow (or actually today I guess) is my last day of classes. Not sure how I did on my History Goes to the Movies final. Had to write 5 mini essays for that. Well, I got an A on the last essay I did for it, so I'm fairly confident I did good. Not so sure on how I did for my mythology essay though. I've just got this bad feeling I screwed it up. But I guess I'll find out tomorrow after I finish my test. Should be cake.

For God knows what reason, I let my friend convince me to join a dating site. I'm not gonna say which one, since I don't want any of you trying to find me on there. I have very little faith in it however. All the people it tells me would be a good match for me seem to have absolutely nothing in common with me. Some of them seem like they'd sooner run me over than go on a date with me. I don't know why I let him talk me into joining it. Hope I guess. Or maybe desperation. It's getting hard to distinguish between them. I just know I'm sick of being alone. I need a friggin pomegranate.

Haven't done anything arty. Just been too damn stressed. If I'm stressed, and I make a mistake, it'll frustrate me, which will make another mistake much more likely. And so on, and so on, until I just want to go downstairs, load one of the guns and shoot the hell out of whatever I'm trying to work on. Haven't been able to relax myself either. And I am beyond sick of hearing "you need to get laid" whenever I say that. It's not going to fucking happen and everyone who says that should damn well know it by now.

Off to bed with me. Later.
