This is almost like a chain sort of thing, but here's what it says:

The first 14 to comment on this journal will get 3 pieces from their gallery (I will choose them).

In return, those Deviants featured will have to create their own Journal placing me in the first slot, for a total of 15 features!

I am now officially unemployed.
And I'm not happy about it at all.
I was employed for a term, and my term finally ended (after extending me several times).
I cried like a baby and it took me 30 minutes to clear my desk.
I loved that place so much, and I'm really sad that they couldn't keep me longer (or make my position a permanent one).

I'm simply terrified of the future, because I worry too much.
I'm terrified of getting evicted because I can't pay my rent, I'm terrified of not having money to buy the things I need (such as food).

All in all, I highly doubt I'll be in the right mind-set to do anything creative.
-Not that I do anything creative any more...

Well as you can probably tell I'm not on dA very much lately but I come back to this revamped-ness (yes it's a word!).
ANYWAY,
I just wanted your guys' opinions on tablets.

I'm really debating getting one, and I know little to nothing about which ones are good and which ones are crappy.
I found some cool looking ones on Ebay, but I'm a little scared to go forward because with my luck I'd be buying a crappy one.


I'd really like to think that I'd do more art if I had a tablet, and it's something I've been debating for a couple years now.


So feedback people!!
Are there any awesome brands?
How much do I have to be willing to pay for a decent one?
I'm not looking for a super professional one, just one that will get the job done.

MIA? Moi? Oi.
I just thought that I'd give you guys a bit of an update.
Never did hear back about that contest...
Still have my job... until next week.
Still engaged, still loving him.

Oh, here's something more recent, I've become addicted to WoW. Yes, I know, shame on me.
Well I wouldn't say addicted, just I find it entertaining at times.


My New Year's resolution has finally started, and in case you're wondering it is to get in better shape.
I've got a wii, and a wii fit, so I'm going to start eating better and exercising more.
Yay me. I finally started last night, so we'll see how long it lasts.

I've also recently got reunited with my high school bff of the same name, and we hang out once every 1 or 2 weeks. It feels awesome to hang out with another girl, because lately it seems like all my friends are guys.

I had a great Christmas, and New Year (fiance and I have now been together for 2 years).


But here's what I should be talking about.
Art.
I haven't done shit in... forever.
I just feel like I don't have the ability any more.
Though I was on this forum the other day and I happen to pass my deviantart link to a guy and he apparently looked it over and thought it was great.
I guess I've just hit this super huge artist block.
Maybe I'll pick up my sketch book (if I can find it) and draw something tonight.


Oh wait... something makes me think that I've got something on my easel... Hmm... I'll have to check.
In any case, I'm hoping to get some art done.
But between working out, sleeping and probably trying to find a new job, I doubt it's going to happen.

Cross your fingers for me though.

Hey

Well thanks to all the feedback guys.

To those few that actually did help I just thought that I'd let you know that I changed the ending of the extract, and sent it in last night.

I'm too lazy to edit the deviation right now so sometime when I'm feeling up to it I might.
I will paste the change I made here though to make anybody reading this only have to read one thing- this journal rather than a journal and a deviation. Aren't I nice?


Here it is:

“Are you Isabella Marie Russo?” The one man asked as he looked down at her with a frown.
“Yes, but-“ Isabella managed to get in before she was interrupted again.
“You’re going to have to come with us.” The other man said as he reached out and grabbed her wrist violently.
“Who are you? And what do you want with me?” Isabella demanded loudly as she struggled to wriggle from the man’s tight grasp.
“That’s for us to know and you to find out, if you’re lucky.” The first man said with an ominous laugh.



One more thing before I end this is that I broke down and bought a new paintbrush, so now there's no excuse for me not to paint that painting I've been meaning to do for ages- except more procrastination!
