Random Thoughts:
So, it has been about 4 months, 7 days since I bothered to post a journal here.
As for deviations, they appear to be just as sparse.

I must say, I love the journal skins option they've provided here on DA.
Problem is, it's for friggin' Premium users only. That blows!
I thought it looked pretty cool, BUT I cannot use them. Gurgh.
Fuck it, I'll write my own CSS code for it and insert it into journals the old-fashioned way.
That'll show 'em.

Updates:
There's no real "updates" per-se, except that I'm still just a lazy bugger who won't do any actual work.
I get plenty of encouragement to draw, but it's either hard to find the time, or I decide that whatever I draw is complete and utter crap.
Albeit, a certain amazing someone (with whom I am greatly enamored) continues to encourage me, insists my work is amazing, and has actually given my pageviews quite a bit of a boosting.
She also has made a habit of keeping my doodles, instead of letting me throw them out.
Thanks for all the encouragement, Love, eventually you'll get some art out of me.
(It's like getting blood out of a turnip, but she's persistent so eventually I'll cave )

Closing Remarks:
So I'll have to leave you all (all 2 of my eager readers, :3) with just that much news.
Can you call this news, even? I've barely told you anything!
Balderdash!!
*scoots off to play more MGS3*

So, I am here in the library at the university, because I have a midterm in 4.5 hours, and I'm really a huge slacker. So instead I'm checking up on my latest news and goodies - although the Firefox installed on the Linux machines here freezes when loading Joystiq, which sucks.
This midterm isn't going to be hard, I'm not even nervous, but at the same time that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Crap, I've actually learned something while sitting here... damnit!
That isn't supposed to happen D:
My plan (to slack) is ruined.

As for art, I want to say I've been to busy but that would be a load of crap.
I'm not too busy, I'm just too easily sidetracked from doing any actual art.
Every time I look at re-installing my tablet I say "I'll do it later."
Every time I feel the urge to draw I distract myself so I don't get disappointed when the sketch totally sucks.
Every time I look at my art I just realize that I don't think I'm improving and that my style is not unique or good in any way, shape, or form. Which just annoys me so much I don't have the heart to work on it.
And now I'm pretty sure I'm just making excuses.
I put it off because I automatically assume everyone else thinks my stuff sucks, just like i think it does.
I can't help it, I look at some of the stuff here, or at what my friends draw and I think,
"Man...compared to them this is like I threw up on paper."

Damn, I'm rambling away and just bitching now.
Sorry folks (or should I say folk? I think you're the only one who reads this, Jester.)
I suck.

Anyhow, instead of rambling, wasting time, and wallowing in my lack of any talent or ability whatsoever, I should be productive.

Later Folks.

Yes, yes, I say it every time: "Just so you all know I am, in fact, still alive."
But it's a lie! I am a zombie now!
Rawr brains!
Fear teh zombeh-jimmeh!

No, no, not true - but I am quite alive.
Probably more alive than I've felt in my life in a long time, thanks to a special someone;
but that's a story for another time.

I seriously need to get off my lazy ass and draw something.
Well, that's a lie, I draw all the time in class, just not much that's worth uploading.
I have one I'll be scanning later, but first I must study for a midterm...
...And by study I mean slack off and listen to music.
Haha

Kudos,

So, I am indeed still alive for those who may wish to know.
I just have a very bad habit of never really updating my journal. >_>

So I finally have my Wacom Tablet up and running 100%, along with a fully functional version of Photoshop CS3.
So the next step is getting more practice with drawing on the computer in general.
It's going well so far, but of course still needs much work.
(But so does my paper-based-drawing, so I can't really say much )
And lately I have been finding inspiration in rather odd places, even at work.
(A customer gave me a odd quote the other day that just sparked something in my brain - you may see it in something someday soon?)
"Of course...that was when we could still see the sun. Perhaps someday we'll have sunshine again."
Of course knowing my province the weather is crap and this was a normal remark, but the creativity side of my brain went to town on this line.
AND, at darkjester-reala's suggestion I went back to my old comics from back in the day and found inspiration!
He's revived my will to draw - it's all his fault!
Haha
Well...if I can pry myself away from [I]Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst[/I] for more'n five minutes I would draw... >.<

But yes, it is late and I must retire to bed.
Later on folks.

Kudos,
ProtoJimmy out.

P.S. - Any players of PSO on SCHThack's server maybe i'll run into you sometime? I play a HUmar named Realm (I look like a GM, aka "famitsu" character model) and I'm usually on the "Terra's Luna" server. Say hi if you see me!

My Macbook's Hard drive died thismorning.
All my work is now gone, except what's here on DA.
So much for the surprise project I was working on...
And my stories...
And all my photos...
And all my music...
Damnit...this is depressing.

I'm not going to be online for a little while.
