when did 11 am become early?

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 5, 2008, 5:22 AM
Holidays are a gift from the great lord of all procrastination.
I find that while this joyous time has been bestowed upon me I find it difficult to concentrate enough to get anything done. Believe it or not I actually have 8 comic pages, three unfinished, that I could upload on here if I got off my ass and scanned them. Unfortunately I seem restrained to merely scanning the odd scrap that catches my fancy.
This could be put down to simple lazyness but it is my theory that the god of Procrastination has forced his will upon me so that I may find even the most menial task a great quest to be undertaken.

I seem to be sleeping away many of my hours, it has come to pass that I am awake until roughly two or three in the morning then asleep until a time ranging from eleven down to two PM. That cant be natural. I believe the amount of sleep i have been getting has rendered me creatively retarded. I have, however, been experiencing some truly creepy dreams.

But enough about that! May I state that I am not in a ranting mood but DA has, as I'm sure you've all had happen to you, fucked out a little bit and wont allow me to change the mood. Ohoho, you witty little dancing man, I do so hope you choke on your own organs.

I feel the encroaching choke of overdue personal projects. There is no real need to work on them for anyone but myself however I cannot shake the anxiety that comes with not updating my work for long periods of time. My comic has been glaring at me for several weeks, the last time I worked on it was a sporadic burst of creativity that comes with sleep deprivation due to flying for 11 hours and I managed to ink two pages on the plane trip over from South Africa. Needless to say that particular burst of energy is very unlikely to ever make a reappearance.
But as I was saying I get the feeling that finishing the shading on my two recent pages and maybe sketching out the next one wouldn't quite be the punch in the gut the god of procrastination seems to be convincing me it would be. Added to that I also feel as though I should make up some character sketches and upload them since I have very little explanation for either my characters or my comic up here. That is my next project, yesss. I feel like drawing Ell.

Also I haven't showered in several days. This is getting to be a problem.
The bath tub awaits.

Wooow, would you believe that I only saw this comment now?

Yeah me neither, at first for me it was a "Oooh, but its ruuuude!" thing but then it was a, "Laaaazynesssss" thing.
Yeah, s'cool, it got done eventually, right? :D

yeah, i kinda figured out yaoi on the website i host my webcomic on, its basically 90% yoai and such! but then again... im also on the net WAY too much!

well im glad to hear you're feeling better, and i hope it works out with your friends! im sure they'll understand if your feeling better again...

i wanna meet more furries now! Gina only half counts, cause she does her Anime style first and foremost! i basically only draw anthros nowadays! but yes, they are a rare breed in SA!

well im glad to hear you enjoy the chats! we should maybe sort out e-mail addresses or something, i think we're flooding your page by now!

Jeez, thats brilliant for you man!
Gina's weird like that. She seems to pick out random stuff about people that no one else sees but once said seems like the most obvious thing in the world and you wonder how you missed it to begin with.

Oh, I know what you mean with the no one knows what furries are thing. In south africa I had to explain every second word that I used because people tended not to use the internet as much as me. Its an interesting thing to find the odd person that you can relate to. Its kind of the same here, you know what yaoi is right?
The first time I mentioned it to my irish friends even the anime geek that I hang out with didn't know what the hell I was talking about. I wonder if perhaps I just spend a tad too much time on the internet. :hmm:
Ah well. I like to think of it more as the fault of the ignorance of others rather than my own wasting time online.

Yeah, I'm doing a bit better now. I think my friends think that I hate them though. This is a problem. I really dont know what to do about it either, I just keep thinking if I carry on like normal maybe they'll realize I was going through a bit of a phase and I'm through it now.
Meh, it'll be sorted out eventually. Oh well....

I once knew a furry, he was my brothers best friend at one point. The guy was a rockstar, absolute sweet heart. I used to love it when he came over. He had the most amazing eyes in the world, thats one thing I remember about him. Yup, that had no real bearing on this message.

I gotta say you're one of the more interesting people I speak with now days. Its cool.

sorry to hear bout sat... hope your feeling better now then? there are times like that, were lfe just piles up on you... you really just have to work through it... i had an entire YEAR of it last year! glad i got through that! so hope your feeling better and life is looking up a bit more!

but do know what? i am perfectly cool with all your messages! the relative anonimity of the net is awesome, so i tend to unload random stuff occasionally... its very theraputic (even if i cant spell it!) good eample? see below!

but as for being a furry... iv had an interest in anthro characters LONG before i knew what furry was! Robin Hood was my HERO! the interest never dropped off the radar, i just never understood it!

so i started drawing my own anthro last year, and only discovered the full on Furry scene in august when i started uploading art to Fur Affinity. the scene is much more subdued on DA. i kinda "um"ed and "ah"ed about the scene for a while, seeing the REALLY dodgy side, but appreciating the awesome stuff too!

but then i met Gina! (NO-ONE in South Africa knows what furry is! iv found a couple SA furries online, but they are rather scattered!) she saw my art, she heard i had a dog collar (orignally a joke with my engineering buddies that i just started wearing permanently!) and she called me a furry! i wasn't comfortable with the tag til i found that Christian Furry Site, so soon after finding it, i "came out"! hehe

as for being a wierdo... i a firm believer that normal is relative...

Sweet! Hah, I had no idea you were a furry, cool stuff man!
How long ago did this decision come to you? Wait, no, never mind. I haven't reeeeeally known you long enough to ask that.

Yeah, any case, thats really cool for you :D!

Yeah, I've been having a bit of a rough week to be honest. I had a leeeettle bit of a break down on saturday so yeah. Been going through a lot of thinking and sorting out a load of shit.

I'm sick of a lot of the shit that seems to be happening around me lately. Hmmmm, sorry, it kinda seems like I'm unloading on you. I keep thinking that I'm getting too friendly or something. Like, "Wow, you haven't known this person for that long, he wont appreciate this at all."
I swear if thats how I come off it isn't what I intend to do. To be honest I just think you're a really down to earth person. Like, I can see why Grim thinks you're so cool...

yeah. I'm a weirdo. :|

Oh wow, thanks so much :D

That sounds amazing, I checked out the link but it doesn't appear to be working for my computer. Do you perhaps have to have an account on that website or something like that?

hehe! sort of... i have these sort of "moments" where life makes sense... they seem a bit more fleeting and depressing than yours though!

humans are an interesting race, ill give them that! (and the fact that iv officially classed myself as a furry makes that sentence all the more scary! :fear:

Hmmm, that is a very good point.
Meh, its always good to know what you wanna do. I feel like I've said that before...

Mmm, I'm in such a philosophical mood right now, like I should be rattling off about the existence of a higher power and the truth behind human nature.
Its odd, going through one of those few moments of clarity. Know what I mean?

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?


It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.
~timmiboi:icontimmiboi: Feb 29, 2008, 12:09:54 AM
rather!

dunno how popular a field it is, but i certainly wanna try! Chip Foose is an american guy who designs custom cars and i must say i aspire to him!

maths... blah! hopefully a PC or an engineer will do that for me! ill just say: "i want it to look like this!" and leave an engineer to the rest!

i think an arts course could be benificial, and they're always cooler when you enjoy what you're doing!

Jeez, took my time replying, didn't I?

Hah, awesome! Its cool to know what you want to do, then to realize you're on the way to getting there.

Vehicle design? Thats unusual but very interesting!

Yeah, I'm pathetic at mathematical things in general. I'm in ordinary level maths so even if I wanted to do something mathematically inclined, I really couldn't. I'd wanted to be a vet for years but I finally came to the realization that there is not a chance in hell that I'm gonna get that with my marks. I'm trying for English at Trinity, it takes some surprisingly high marks for the course though. I may have to spend the gap year getting extra points for my leaving certificate. Maybe I should spend a year doing an arts course or something.

wow this has turned into quite a deep conversation!
