No seriously, I know it was an anonymous gift, but whoever opted to put up that kind of money to get me a paid account and the 100 icons like that totally deserves a thank you. LEIK WO. 'Cause that's not cheap, but moreso that's just an awesome gesture of awesome. So, thank you. If you wanna stay anonymous, I'll respect that, but I still totally wanna know who you are.

I have decided that with my refund check, I'm totally getting a paid account with the 100 icons thing. I already have a few themes so I can start making/stealing all those icons.

Is it sad that this is the thing I'm looking forward to the most? Beside the bike, which I SO cannot wait to finally have.

Today was the first day of class, FINALLY! FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, I cannot say that enough. I love school, even if it gives me a headache. Even when I stand outside of my classroom for ten minutes not realizing the lecture has started, and that the people sitting inside are not, in fact, remnants from the last class. Even when I have to stand up through the whole of the class, guitar leaning against me, because standing outside as such has lost me a seat in the really large band class.

I especially love it when my voice teacher is fucking insane, in a hilarious way, and makes my ears play tricks on me with physics-coined-terms and his vocal chords. Even moreso when he mishears someones description of said 'physics thing' and randomly starts acting like a two year old screaming "NUMMY NUMMY NUMMY I LOVE NUMMY THINGS!" I love hearing embaressed people sing 'Happy Birthday' over and over again, ESPECIALLY when they're mae to sing 'like an old witch, with a really ugly voice' complete with examples that involve the best face a man has ever made ever.

I REALLY love school when two really good friends are in my guitar class. I die, in a good way, when I get to not only spend time with people I haven't seen in forever, but do it doing something I love to do (even if it's an overly crowded class). I love that my guitar instructor is a fantasmical guitarist who, like the voice teacher, is a laff riot.

I don't like the four hour wait between the other classes, but I DID like it when Jessica (one of said friends) is there to entertain me.

And I really love not knowing what a class is going to be like before going into it the first day, only to have it be BETTER than I could have anticipated. I love every project coming up for my illustration class. I seriously cannot wait. I also dig that my teacher is a total DILF, and is just as funny as the other guys.

I can't wait to start my life drawing and theater 2 classes.

Sure, I imagine this romance will end somewhere between weeks three and eight, but for now I'm thrilled.

Now to write some goddamned fiction!

Today, I finish watching Jeffrey, then head to a super bowl party (I know nothing about the sport, so this'll be fun).

Tomorrow, classes start finally.

Sometime soon, I get a paid account for the first time. I need icon space!

So after years of being on both sites, I've finally up and gotten rid of my DList and OKCupid pages. I never did anything there anymore, but I frequently logged in like I did. Probably not healthy, so away they go. Horray me?

I've no interest in dating or hooking up anyhow, so whatevs.

The Case Of The Disappearing Floor, 1/3
Author: dergerm
Summary: Lassiter, trying to keep Shawn away from a case he's been barred from, follows him right into a bad situation. Juliet and Gus now must find them before it's too late.
Rating: PG, for some naughty language.
Pairings: Shawn/Lassiter (pre-slash), Gus/O'Hara (friendship)
Disclaimer: As ought be obvious, I own not that which is Psych, nor the characters therein. Verily, it is in ownership of one Steve Franks, and USA Network television broadcasting.
Authors Note: I'll keep this brief; I'm still catching up on this series, so while I did do my research I may be misrepresenting some basic information; apologies in advance. Also, this is un-beta'ed but I'm looking for someone for the next two parts which are currently being written. Any takers?
Words: 3889

( It was actually almost a let down, Lassiter felt, how easy it was to tail Shawn Spencer. )

First, I'm in the midst of writing a Psych fan fic. I need a beta for that, any takers? I don't know how many people I have on my actual f-list that are Psych fans, but if you are and can beta I'll be needing you soon. I'm nearly done with the first in a three part story.

And unlike my other fics in the past, this one is actually all outlined and WILL be finished, haha.

Second thing, I've created a community for myself to store all my writing, fan fics or otherwise. If you're so interested, go and watch ah_the_wit. Can't join, but you can watch and comment ^_^ I'll still be announcing my stories here, but I'm going to keep them over there for easier archiving.

So I'm actually getting a decent refund from the gub'mint this year. Wanna know my plans for it? DON'T CARE, gonna list 'em anyways 'cause I'm a whore for that sort of thing.

- Bike! I keep running into problem after problem with the bus system, and until I can afford a car I need something in the interim.
- Paying back my mom, dad, and grandparents just a fraction a piece of what I owe them for their respective things.
- Getting my bass out of pawn, finally.
- Drivers license.

After that, possible options are:
- MP3 player.
- San Francisco trip for WonderCon, super maybe though.

The rest will go to feed my crack and abortion habit.

OH SHIT! I didn't know today was 24-hour comic day!

Guess I'll just watch Hoarders.

Derp.

Question from left field: Does anyone know someone who's a firefighter in LA? I have an uncle who's one in San Diego, but I don't know how different it is in the LA area. I'm thinking about it.

It's something I've thought about for a while, but was never really a 'big dream' for me. But I've had conversations with friends a lot in the past few years, all who want to be cops (seriously, it's kind of ridiculous how many unconnected friends I have who are working to be cops) who keep telling me I should think about it. But I don't respect cops, nor would I really want to be one-- being a detective would be neat, but only if I get to wear a Sherlock Holmes hat at all times. But I've always said that if I were to go into any of those fields, it'd be firefighter because I wholly respect their field. Not always the people, but the field et al.

Now that I've been doing all the working out, I'm seeing myself opening up some doors I had closed long ago. Like this sort of venture.

So yeah, anyone know any firefighters?

Note to self: Get a paid account. Too many icons, getting tired of having to decide which to keep, and which to change out.

Note ABOUT myself: I've been keeping up with my exercise regiment daily. I'm doing good ^_^ I'm actually DOING it for once! HORRAY ME!

God, I need to do something with my brain before long, though. All my posts lately have been retard-o style.

BANANAS!

I have no idea what to do with myself right now. I've decided that tonight I'm not going to do any writing or drawing, give myself a little break, but now I have NO clue what to do. I watched the shows I wanted to, read every site I usually check out, and here I sit... contemplating an early turn in. But I'm way not tired, and so the problems comes full circle.

They decided the fetish theme for the upcoming show needed to be bumped back to March now, which completely negates the whole Valentines aspect of everything that we were trying to accomplish. Why the sudden change of everything? Because of 'special guests' who they won't disclose, though it doesn't seem to affect casting at all because everyone is still playing the same parts. I'm irritated.

So that means no sexy pix of me as a leather bear. Though, this does mean more time I guess...

Speaking of reference photo help, does anyone in the LA area know someone who owns a Hearse they'd be willing to let me take a bunch of reference photos of for the comic? The hearse is a big part of these characters story, and google/dA/flickr isn't really helping me enough.

Look who quit her job again!

Hint: It's my mom!

And just WA area friends who'd like to help a guy out ^_^

I'm about five pages into doing layout work for a webcomic I'm starting, which for me means I'm actually pretty serious. Thing is, this part of the story is based in the Seattle area, and surrounding areas. What I really need help on are reference shots. Right now, nothing specific, but just general "Seattle'y" type shots. Not just the city, either. I need, if anyone has 'em or is down to seek adventure and take some pix for me, shots of Bonnylake, mountain roads, the bridges that float on the rivers (fuck if I remember their names right now), and if anyone REALLY wants to do me a major solid, some shots of the inside of Fort Nisqually in Point Defiance Park, down in Ruston right near where I used to live ^_^ The last one is a stretch, but if someone wants an excuse to go there then here it is!

I plan on abusing Flickr and Google, but if I can get some recent shots that'd be wicked awesome.

Oh, and eventually I may be needing Portland, and if anyone lives in the Midwest that I don't know about let me know ^_^

I will draw you whatever you want if you do this for me!
