All that Jazz. (Happysad?)

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 2:21 PM
Life's been insane lately. It's a bit of a mix between amazingly amazing (:D) and amazingly awful. I'm pretty stressed out, so I just wanted to apologize to everyone who'se waiting on me for stuff- feel free to poke me if I haven't spoken to you about it recently, because I might have forgotten in all the buzz. That being said...

THE ARTZ --->
Wow. I'm just totally ecstatic.
=markopolio-stock hosted a contest last month. I entered just to see where I stand in a community outside of Equine Manips, and hopefully to get one or two new people to take a peek. You have NO idea how amazed I was when I logged on to see that I actually won first place!! Those of you who know me well know that I've never been super confident in my art, so I was (and still am!) totally speechless to have won. Wow! Mark, I just wanted to think you and the other judges one more time. I'm sure I'm driving you crazy by now, but I appreciate it so, so much. :hug:
Go check out Mark's contest, guys. Seriously. The prizes are amazing, and it's a great chance to get your name out there. The topics are really broad, so you can submit a really wide range of things. Even if you don't think you'll win, go for it! I didn't think I would, ether!

I also wanted to give a huuuuuuge thank you to everyone who's featuring me. It makes me SO happy to see my work appreciated! :hug:

Many of the people who featured me featured more than just the one piece of work. Thanks so much guys. I really, really appreciate it! If I forgot you for some reason, PLEASE slap me. :D

There may be a delay in future pieces. If you're wondering why, please read below. Thanks for your understanding, guys. :heart:


LIFE ---->
My Nana was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer today. We don't know any details until the biopsy comes in later on this week, but there's almost no chance that she's going to make it. I don't know her well, so I guess that will make it easier- there's a lot of family drama, so I didn't really know up knowing her. We visited for an afternoon once every few years. That being said, she's still my Nana. She pretty much ruined herself financially, so in top of the emotional stress my family is going through, we'll also have to way the bills that health care doesn't cover- she doesn't have additional health care, aside from the free stuff in Canada.
One more reason why not to smoke, right?
Aaaaand I pretty much don't have anything else to say about that, because I don't know much else. It just sucks.

Other than that, there's a whole slew of boy problems, and I won't bother you with them. :) Just be warned- if you rant to me about your boy problems, I'll probably rant right back. :D Don't say I didn't warn you! :lmao:

OTHER ---->
Other than that, there's nothing overly exciting going on.

The horse is doing well- she's turning into quite the speed demon, and is forcing me to be a lot more accurate with my jumping. It's good stuff. :) I love her.

To end, I just want to thank everyone for the support I've had lately. I appreciate it so much, and I love you all to pieces. :heart:

I definitely will, and thank you! I thought I was already watching you, and I was horrified to see that I'd forgotten to! :faint: You totally deserve it, judging by the number of times I've used your stock!

Thanks!

Or, yanno, you could just get on MSN in the first place...

Loser.

I'm even tolerating the ghetto-vintage version of MSN for you. Yeah. The one where you can't even bother people when they're offline or change your font colour... not that I do anyways. :D

BUT, I have no school tomorrow, so I fully intend to pester you all day, cool? :hug:
