I'm going to be placing what my journals are about in brackets now so you can chose to read them or not because we all know I can write some pretty damn long journals. Like this one is. Read if you want, it has things about what I've been up to. I've titled which section is which for convenience. I ask at least read the Social and Art section!

Setting that Pokémon shit aside, I'm just gonna talk about what I've been up to and what's on my mind.

SCHOOL:

I started school on Monday. I'm getting off to a good start, having 100% on all the papers I've done so far. Though, I'm stuck with my least favorite teacher for an extra 45 minutes.... I hated her last year and I didn't even have her as a teacher. The teachers are having the hardest time remembering my name but I don't see why. James. Is it that hard of a name to remember? <XD Polaris has the same problem but I can see how considering her first name is spelled way differently than everyone else spells it. Huh. Well, I'm in 8th grade now. Top of my school. I have picture day tomorrow, so gotta put on my fancy clothes. Sadly with all this effort I'm already putting in I can't draw much, and I don't really feel like drawing when I get home right now. I'm inspired, but not motivated. I just wanna do little sketches and a couple things maybe on Colors3D. You can find all of them on my Weasyl account which is HERE --> www.weasyl.com/profile/inskaia

I'm planning to try and give most of my attention to school this year so I can get into honors classes in highschool. Thinking about my future lately and decided I want to be successful, chase a career in art and have another side job to support me. Aiming to be like =TwilightSaint I guess. Just keep doing what I'm doing as I grow up.

Also, I've been trying to be more cooperative with my parents even though they themselves show no signs of changing.... Looks like they'll only accept me again if I get those straight A's I said I'd aim for. Off to an amazing start! Hitting it off with most of the teachers. the social studies teacher already likes me a lot ;v; He supports my art and that's where I get most of my doodling done. Along with English. The English teacher is fine with me doodling as long as I pay attention while she's speaking.

Only thing I actually do NOT like about school:

BED TIMES.

JOB:

I began babysitting, hoping to start getting more money as I go along so I can save up to buy commissions from my favorite artists and have a little money for myself.

People I SUPER want to commission for now (in order):

=TwilightSaint

I really like babysitting. And kids end up loving me afterwards if they don't already know me. It's funny how they do that, because I don't really do anything but turn on a movie or something and sit with them and watch it and I cook food and talk to them but that's about it. Thing is I have a short temper with kids, but I am a very patient person and I'll get along with them no matter how much they piss me off.

PERSONAL:

Since I've been going to the gym a few times a week, I've been feeling pretty great about myself. I'm not even really self-conscious in the first place, but I didn't realize how much drag I had going. Running for an hour at the gym while just listening to Welcome to Night Vale for a good laugh or music helps me relax and makes me a little more tired so I can sleep better at night. I have insomnia, so it's hard for me to sleep well and it's hard to sleep in general.

I don't get much time to talk to my friends at school any more though. Only a 3 minute passing period? And I have to go ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SCHOOL MOST OF THE TIME?? I have almost no classes with my circle of friends unu Oh well.

I also want to read more Homestuck but I can't right now and I'm sad about that.

I was also requested to do a photoshoot for my friend "Woofie". She's really photogenic and I'd like to show you to her Instagram! -> instagram.com/woofie__

SOCIAL:

I've been aiming to get to know more people I RP with and people I watch on here and other websites. I always love making new friends. Even if I don't talk to you much, that doesn't mean I haven't forgotten about you!! I just suck at starting conversations and being interesting and I'm afraid I'll bore you. But if you say hi or something to me or just say something to me I'll respond for sure! I want to get to know my watchers and people I watch. I want to be the person that loves all of you ~

Just add me on Steam or say hi here or something so we can talk. Steam we can talk often, every time we're both online actually. I don't mind! 99% of people don't annoy me ;v; Maybe it'll turn out we have a lot in common and we'll become good friends.

If you haven't added me on instagram or Twitter or Tumblr, DO IT! I'm active on those too. I post all my school sketches there like I do with Weasyl.

If you ever want to play a game on Steam or PSN just ask me!

ART:

I'd like to start by saying: THANK YOU FOR 140+ WATCHERS! </U>

I've been doing some good photography lately! I'll be sharing the photos here soon. I've just been lazy with uploading them for some reason.

And yes, I have been drawing lately! But I only want to upload completed works onto here. I also have a bit of art block.... So COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN LIKE ALWAYS! I'll try to get to you A.S.A.P. I work faster and better on commissions than I do requests and trades and stuff. ^^; Want to please a paid customer. Speaking of commissions, if I can find a way to take paypal without having my dad finding out about my deviantArt, FurAffinity(ESPECIALLY), and Weasyl I can open PayPal commissions! but, be aware, this WILL drive up my prices, so get them while they're cheap. Photos will all remain under 50 cents though!

Anybody know any sites that support Photography well with a welcoming community besides Flickr...? And should I open up a side blog on Tumblr just for photography?

Thank you for reading this. LOVE YOU IF YOU READ IT ALL!

Feedback appreciated!
