Getting there, slowly

The last few months have been chaotic. Still dealing some with the depression, but doubling the meds, and then adding another 25mg has helped a reasonable bit, though it's still there. There've also been some personal things I'm working on, like cutting sugar, diet sodas, caffeine (at least cutting…

Painful Realities

Over the last month, I've made a couple of posts pointing out that I've been having problems with depression again. The reality is, over the last two and a half months, I've already collapsed into into major, crushing depression, and have barely been treading the muck since then. Self-care is all b…

Collapsing

Things are getting worse, I'm collapsing under the weight of this depression. I'm going to be away for a while, until I can hopefully get this under better control. Psych appt. next week, hoping something will come out of it. Fucking depression has more than likely cost me being able to transition…

To the peeps that do read this.

I'm around, it's just been a rough few months, which is why I haven't commented much on people's work lately. Still love you guys, and love your works. Hopefully I'll be stable again soon, and can start commenting and uploading again. <3

Probably no buying commissions this year.

Working on setting up for the transition surgery this upcoming year, so I'm going to be funneling pretty much all my running money into my surgery fund to speed the process up. Unfortunately, means no commissioning, which suuuuuucks, because I love watching people bringing my ideas to life.

(Hopefully) Funny Ramblings

Fifty-seven minutes of me rambling about stuff. Hopefully will bring a smile to some faces. CN: brief talk of my injuries, how I was injured, uh... little bit of ableism (was part of one story, couldn't really avoid), lots of swearing, and me being a godawful goof in general. https://www.youtube.co…

The Iguana Chronicle

A small, ten minute ramble on my experience with the dinosaurs of Gautanamo Bay, Cuba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co0b_-hlkWU

Another vid?

Alright, QUESTION TIME. I can't do the limb vid until I can get a webcam for my desktop that I can move around, since moving a laptop around's a pain in the ass. However, I've had people ask about my Cuba trip, and the monster iguanas there. I've also had people asking about some of the funny stori…

Being an amputee.

I've had a few people from different places asking me what it's like being an amputee and the like, so instead of making an ungodly long-assed post, I decided to do a short video. So, for those interested, here ya go, first of at least two. https://youtu.be/1I1Y1VWz9VA

September already?

How the hell did it get to be only twenty-three days before my 34th?! Didn't we just start this year last month? ;__;

Losing a family member

About three weeks ago, I had to take our middle cat, Cyclone, to the shelter after he started peeing all over the house. We had to close the doors to our bedrooms, because he was peeing on our beds and pillows, any boxes, pretty much anything he could stand on/get in. It was hard, but we got over i…

Sigh, there goes another comedian.

That moment when you go back to watch DVD's of a comedian you really love and haven't watched in a few years, only to realize just how much of a bigoted fuck he really is.

Headworlds, read if interested

I've been going through old stories, and taking note of what's outdated or what didn't match the one prior if it's a multi-parter, and it's made me realize that while a lot of it's in my head, I don't have a lot of it written down. Though I do plan on making word docs, mind maps, and other various…

Moving time again? Already?

So, some rather sudden, unexpected news. Mom's work has offered her her own office, and a change in her current position within the company, resulting in a pending substantial raise. Only catch is, it's in Houston, Texas. So, it looks like we may be moving to Texas before the end of the year. Life'…

For anyone playing WoW

Would anyone be interested in doing the refer-a-friend in exchange for a keycode for the collector's edition of Mists of Pandaria? I recently got the physical version of the CE from a friend, who forgot I already have the digital version. I'd hate to let the keycode go to waste, especially since it…

School/Career update

Checked out a local community college for their welding certifications, turns out they have a very, very nice machine technology department in general. I think I may have finally found something I can work with long-term. And to be honest, I rather enjoyed the smell of burning hot metal.

So, I've been challenged...

I've been having a friend help me with editing and polishing some of my works for posting here, and we got to talking about some of the more bizarre writing out there. I like to think I'm fairly flexible in writing just about anything, so smartass had to challenge me in order to prove me wrong. So…

A reminder to those who actually read my journals

I'm going to be taking advantage of the friends-only journal feature on Weasyl to post about personal things. If you don't want to read (or do want to read) about MtF transitioning, trans issues, the occasional TMI, and whatever else I don't want to post publically, speak now, or get your ass kicke…

Charity Auction for Spotty

Usually I don't signal boost much, but Farore's doing a wonderful thing for a fellow friend, SpottyJaguar, so I'm definitely going to put this out there. Even if you can't help out, at least give them both a watch, as they'yre wonderful people with some killer artistic skills and talents. EDIT: And…

Today's To-Do List

Let's see, today's agenda: Electrolysis appt. (If anyone ever needs a good interrogation technique, threaten electrolysis of the upper lip. Sweet dancing Jesus that shit hurts, even with lidocaine and oxycontin.) Get at least G through J of the FA watchlist to here. Find my writing laptop, dust it…

Oi.

Took most the afternoon and evening, but have artists A through F transferred from FA to here. Methinks this is going to take a few more days of work. <.<;;

First Journal of Weasyl (I think)

Here from FA after the recent blow-up that showed what they thought of their users. I won't trust any site where the admin are willing to not only protect a sexual predator, but are allowing someone with that particular past potential access to sensitive information on users. To hell with that. I'v…
