So several things have been going on these last few months, mainly my resolve to try and get my t-shirts back going and selling. On my days off I'm going to be putting together new designs to print and sell. Single colors will be printed by myself but I'm going to also be doing some colored printing. These may go with higher prices than normal single-color prints because:
1. They use more ink.
2. I might have to go through another company to actually have these printed.

I'm also going to be making button collections which will be printed, put together and sold. I'll be doing these myself to keep the cost down. :)

COSPLAY! I'm going to AWA once more and this year I'm not waiting until the last minute to put my costume together! There is also something special happening this year. Jess will be making an appearance with me! We're going to [i]rock[/i] this place! We're going to be cosplaying as the Cloth Wanderer's played in the game. She'll be in the red costume while I'm in the white since she's never actually played the game. I'll also be taking my PS3 with me this year so that she will have a chance to play the game and experience what I've fallen in love with.

We're still in the process of making the costumes but as soon as I have the base of the cloak and hood sewn together I'll post pictures of it. The symbols, mask and scarf are the main things that will probably be giving me trouble. I've also started two youtube channels, one of which will be dedicated as a "vlog" of sorts of my adventures with Jess through AWA. While it won't be but three days I'll take a lot of video and upload segments of it throughout the year.

The second youtube channel is another experiment of mine that I'm going to be doing. I've decided to dabble in the world of "let's plays" with several games. These won't be walkthroughs but more or less commentary on the game, and guest appearances with friends and family to play with me. Jess will be with me in September and we'll be playing several games at night while waiting for different midnight panels to start.

I'll post more on those later after I get them started and ready to go. The AWA vlog won't start up until probably after AWA has ended (the end of September or the weekend after we get back to our usual lives).

And now I will say that, I'm both excited and sad about this year's AWA event. Mainly because I'll be seeing the one person I love more than anything and having to say hello and goodbye in three days. But those three days will be the best of my life.

The only way they could possibly be better is if James and Dani both appeared there as well. <3

First things first!
I've changed my appearance, haha. My hair used to be long and light brown with a bit of blonde in it thanks to the sun. As of now it's dark brown with burgundy tones and cut shorter, about to my shoulders. It fits me so much better and I absolutely love my hair now. xD

Pearler Projects
As of right now I'm working on the Eeveelutions for Jessica. So far I have Leafeon and Glaceon checked off. Next up is Espeon, Flareon, Umbreon, Eevee and Jolteon. Unfortunately I ran out of icy-blue beads while working on Glaceon so Vaporeon has to take a back seat for a bit until I can get my hands on more.
I'm going to post the pictures of my finished projects a bit later and start doing different pokemon. I got another set of peg boards the other day, so now I have more room to do more!

Comic
I have a sprite comic I'm going to be making using game sprites. I'm writing up the story idea as of right now, and working on site designs before I actually start making and posting the strips. These strips will be on DA as well.

Other Projects
Currently working on a website a friend of mine started call "I Can Haz Beta", a project we put together for a writing community we are with that is lacking in beta-readers for writers. The community is a monitored one, so stories have to be validated before they can be read. Allowing these writers an open source to beta readers willing to read pretty much anything allows them to get their stories beta'd quickly so that they can have their stories updated just as fast. It is also a learning experience as many learn from their mistakes in a friendly and open minded environment!

Other than that, right now I'm just chilling, writing and playing video games. I recently re-discovered my love for Red vs. Blue and have been indulging myself in the simplicity that is Caboose being awesome.

65. Get married:
I'd hope so. xD I'd like there to be two parents in the picture for my kids if I do ever have any.
66. Career:
Novelist, maybe even working at a game company or a magazine reviewing games. Game beta tester would be awesome... But yeah, making websites and designs (what I went to school for) is just as good!

WHICH IS BETTER:
67. Lips or eyes:

Eyes.
68. Hugs or kisses:
Hugs... Kisses are just a simple touch of the mouth, a hug is having your body embraced in warmth and a feel of belonging.
69. Shorter or taller:
Either is fine. Same height would be nice since I'm a little on the tall side. Taller might have trouble getting through the doors.
70. Older or Younger:
Same age or a little older, maybe by 2 or 3 years. Younger people than me (especially guys) tend to be immature and while I'm immature myself, I'm more mature than most guys my age. xD;
71. Romantic or spontaneous:
Both? Random romantic acts are the most romantic. D: The kind you don't expect. But if I must choose, romantic.
73. Sensitive or loud:
Sensitive. Loud noises give me headaches easily, I'd rather not be hiding in the house from loudness to keep from killing someone.
74. Hook-up or relationship:
Relationship.


HAVE YOU EVER:
76. Kissed a stranger:

No.
77. Stole something for someone:
I think I've accidentally kept things, like pens or pencils usually from class mates. I've never stolen on purpose. Except that one time my cousin tricked me to get a holographic pokemon card from me and I tried to steal it back.
78. Lost glasses/contacts:
Nope, I take very good care of my glasses. Never had a scratch on any of them. These things are the only thing that keep me from being legally blind. I need them!
79. Hurt yourself:
By accident? Yeah, haha. I'm kind of a klutz.
80. Broken someone's heart:
I hope not. o_o
82. Been arrested:
Nope.
83. Turned someone down:
Yeah, the guy was really annoying though and being really pushy. Kind of worried me.
84. Cried when someone died:
Yeah... Miss you grandpa.
85. Fallen for a friend:
Yeah.


DO YOU BELIEVE IN:
86. Yourself:

Probably not as much as I should, haha.
87. Miracles:
I believe in things happening by chance and by the people around me. Not in someone above making things happen to me.
88. Love at first sight:
I believe in being attracted to someone, but not love. Love needs to be cultured, needs to grow between to people to be real.
89. Heaven:
I believe in reincarnation.
90. Santa Clause:
Clause? Never heard of that one. Now Santa CLAUS then no. xD I stopped that a long time ago.
91. Kiss on the first date:
No, too soon to be kissing. Maybe on the cheek but not on the lips. That is a bit too intimate for a first encounter.
92. Angels:
Goes with the heaven thing, no I don't.

No I'm not! I've just been away from this place for a while. I haven't done much in the realm of design though I did get a commission for a logo from a friend of a friend. :) I'll be posting it here into my portfolio later after I've gotten the "okay" for the design from her.

AWA!
I'm going to be at AWA September 28th, 29th, and 30th! I'm saving most of my money to spend at the Con so I'm not actually going to be doing a cosplay this year (maybe next year!) but since its going to be getting a bit chilly up there, I'm going to wear a hoodie that I'm going to modify to look like an Umbreon from pokemon. There are a few versions on here, I just have to find a hoodie. Its unnaturally warm right now though the temperatures have been falling recently. Atlanta is a few hours north of where I live though, so the weather is actually cooler there than it is here. A different of around 15 to 20 degrees.

Projects!
Project wise, I'm going to be doing some fun things that I'll be posting up here. Right now I'm working on a Logo for a friend of a friend for her business, after that I'll be posting up some of the designs I have in mind for Gaia layouts. Most of them use the same code since I'm too lazy to make a new one and honestly I barely have time to edit the background image.

I've also recently started a blog called "My Cat The Dick" which can be found here: dickcat.livejournal.com/
It is a blog through the eyes of a cat (my cat to be precise) who is, well; a dick. I try to update it daily with whatever the hell my cat is bugging me with. Its a public journal so there is no need to sign up or sign in to see it!

Perler!
Recently I've been playing around with Perler/Hama beads, you know the ones they make sprites with? I'll be making a few and posting them up online and I may open up for requests. Right now I'm doing a 50x50 Leafeon for Jess. c: I'm going to mat it and put it in a frame for her. I hope she likes it.

I'm going to be playing around with other spites as well (mostly pokemon, but if anyone has a request for different ones after I get started I'll look into them). I may even start doing commissions. They aren't really all that expensive to make and they are fun to mat and hang up in picture frames.

Other!
Video game wise in my life...
Assassin's Creed III Collector's Edition - PAID!
Pokemon Black 2 - Pre-ordered
Pokemon White 2 - Pre-ordered
Bioshock Infinite - Cancelled Pre-Order, waiting until closer to new release date before I pre-order it AGAIN.

I need to get a Kinect so I can play Fable: The Journey. It looks fun. :c

And The Avengers DVD/Bluray comes out the day after my birthday! I can't wait. I'm saving all my money for the Con aside from buying the hoodie and cloth needed to customize it. c: Good thing is, we get a bonus on our next paycheck, I get holiday pay as well, then I usually get money for my birthday because no one ever knows what to get me, xD and finally I get one more paycheck the day before the con! So I'll have 2 nice paychecks and birthday money to spend!

AWA is Anime Weekend Atlanta, I've been planning on making this trip for over a year now. It's in September, I'm just hoping I can get off work then to go. Three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) of amazing fun exhibits and cosplay! Jessica and I have been talking about it and have decided if we ever get the chance to cosplay at a con we're going to go as either Celty and Shizuo from DRRR!!, Shizuo and Izaya from DRRR!!, or as Emmet and Ingo the subway bosses from Pokemon Black & White. Apparently I'd make a sexy Ingo! XD

I though the guy was supposed to propose! Lol, if it were an ideal place.... In a park near a pond maybe?

Despite the fact that I haven't been on in a long time, I decided to surf through some fan art of different video games and such and stumbled across my old account. It's been YEARS since I've been on there so I surfed through my old journals and picked up a quiz I took forever ago just for shits-n-giggles.

Feel free to take it if you'd like.




From now on, you can't tell lies, are you ready?
Of course.

Think back eight months ago, were you single?
Yes.

What do you carry with you at all times?
Car keys, wallet and a small bottle of ibuprofen.

Who was the last person of the opposite sex you text messaged?
Paul, which reminds me; he, Zach and I need to play a round of Assassin's Creed: Revelations together.

How are you feeling?
Dreading going to work in a few hours, but I need the money.

Is something wrong right now?
Working two jobs isn't that great, but one will finally pay off; I'm sure of it.

Are you mad at someone?
At the moment? Not that I can think of. I try not to get or stay mad at someone, annoyed yes; but not mad.

Do you plan on sleeping in tomorrow?
I have a 10:30am to 7pm shift tomorrow. No sleeping in for me. But I did manage to stay up until 3am. Going to need some energy drinks in the morning!

Are you jealous of someone right now?
Not that I can think of.

Do you have a piggy bank that's actually shaped like a pig?
No, but I have a ceramic banked shaped like a Japanese carp.

What's the last thing you put in your mouth?
Doritos chip.

What are you suppose to be doing right now?
I should probably be sleeping... which is what I'm going to do as soon as I post this.

Have you ever changed clothes in a vehicle?
A long time ago. My cousins and I were on vacation in the mountains and went swimming in a nearby creek. We had to change into warm clothes because even in the summer, the mountain water is pretty damn cold.

Could you handle a long distance relationship?
I like to think I can, but the other party has to be willing as well. Any relationship is a two-way street, it takes both people to make it work.

Could you cry right now?
I can make myself cry, if that counts.

Do you ever think about stuff and start crying?
If it is something saddening, though sometimes when I'm writing and the plot involves something sad, I will imagine something to make myself upset or sad to help me set the mood of that particular area in the story.

Are you okay with the life you live?
I get by, I wish I could do better than living from paycheck to paycheck but I know the road I have set out on is a difficult one, and I am ready to take the risks involved with it. I'm happy with where I live, some of what I do and the people I have surrounding myself with. I am loved and cherished, and that is what matters the most.

Did you enjoy your day today?
One of those lazy days. I didn't have to work today so I stayed home. Completed some writing and even played my 360 for a few hours to get more achievements on Skyrim.

Do you have a tattoo?
I do indeed.

Would you ever get any piercings on your body, other than your ear?
Probably not... I might get an eyebrow piercing. I really want to pierce my ears from the top down to the lobe.

What was the last thing you spent money for?
Food, haha.

Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
My grandmother.

Do you call it fall or autumn?
I usually say fall. I only say "Autumn" when depicting it in a story or a piece of my writing.

11:11… Make a wish?
Okay, but I'm not saying what for. It won't come true then!

Honestly, who makes you happy most of the time?
Jessica, she's always been there for me. Before any relationship, through thick and thin. Through the deaths, the family issues and the late nights spent up crying. She's been my shoulder, my friend and my partner in crime for longer than I could have ever imagined possible. She'll never know how much I appreciate her for that, nor how much I truly love her. Words can only express so much.

What were you up to at 9pm last night?
I was waiting for Jessica to come home from work, so a mix between reading and playing Phoenix Wright on my DS Lite.

Do you hold grudges?
If I find myself extremely offended by something or someone, I've been known to hold grudges for months even years. Most of the time I forget who ever it was that pissed me off and move on with my life. Forget and live on would be the best approach; but admittedly I do let some things darken my mind for a little while. The longest that I know of was 4 months, then I just saw no reason to be bothered with letting it rule my life anymore and brushed it off my shoulder forever.

Pick a word that starts with the first letter of your first name?
Everyone calls me Dawn, but my first name is Jessica.

In the past seventy-two hours, have you been under the influence?
No, I worked Sunday and have to work in a few hours, haven't had time to get drunk, hahah.

Who was your last text from?
Jessica, telling me she was on her way home from work, but she had to stop and pick up some books from the bookstore first.

Who was your last phone call from?
My grandmother, we talked for a good hour or so.

One thing you're looking forward to?
Coming home tomorrow night after work and relaxing with Jess. We get off at the same time, haha.

Are you shy at first when it comes to meeting people?
Generally, but working with the public has cured me of that somewhat. When you have to smile and talk to people all day it starts to shave away the shyness. I suppose I still act shy when people first meet me, I've been told I have a "shy" or "careful" smile, not friendly or warm, just kind of guarded I guess.

Has anyone ever called you sexy?
Jessica calls me her "beautiful princess", lol! I call her my "prince in shining armor". It makes for good laughs.

What color is your camera?
Black.

Have you ever overheard a conversation you weren't supposed to?
Hasn't everyone? My mom used to say I only hear what I'm not supposed to hear. She called it "ignoring"; I called it "selective hearing".

Have you ever lived in Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Hawaii?
No, I'd like to visit Hawaii and Arizona one day, they have beautiful landscapes and it would make for a fantastic photography adventure. Jessica wants to take a road trip, perhaps we can go to both places some day.

Have you ever lived in Quebec, Dubai, or Chihuahua?
No, but I'd like to visit Canada. I have a good friend that lives there and I'd like to drop by and give her a good ol' fashion hug!

Did you even know Chihuahua was a place?
No, I actually didn't. When I saw that I thought "lived in a small dog? No..." Haha.

By the way, what is your name?
Dawn.

What time zone do you live in?
Central

Are you currently in a relationship?
Yes.

How many letters does your name have in it?
First: 7
Middle: 4
Last: 8

Do you like being home alone or does it freak you out?
I don't mind being alone as long as it isn't for a long period of time. For a day or two I'm fine but then I start getting lonely if I have no one to talk to. I'm terrified of dark places and being left alone in the dark, so around night fall I like to have someone nearby. If I absolutely can't be near someone at night, I keep a TV on. It tricks my mind into thinking someone is there with me. That and I'm used to hearing it on from when I was home and my mom would sleep in the living room with it playing.

Have you ever had to stay overnight at a hospital?
I have but it wasn't for me. When I was little my dad had a wreck on a 4-wheeler and had to be taken to the hospital. We were there from around 9pm to the wee hours of the morning. I don't think we got home until around 5am.

How old is the youngest person in your household?
I'm the youngest still! I'm 23.

Do you have one of those friends that just have to constantly be in a relationship?
I used to have one, I think she's calmed down now though. Haven't been in contact with her since I got out of high school nearly 5 years ago.





On a side note, I just realized I'm reading a book from one game while playing another, haha. Though I'll admit, Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls have a lot of things in common.

Alright, almost 3:30! Time for bed.
