I need to finish all those questions..... I better get started. Also working on some art trades so that is currently closed but I'll open them again later on.

Went there, made friends, will write more when less exhausted.

So today was my birthday. I'm officially older than dirt. I got 2 lovely gift cards from two beautiful friends of mine, and $50 from gramma. That's all. My sister got me nothing (because that's just how she is,) and mom and dad couldn't because extra bills had to be paid and it left us broke for both me and mommy's birthdays (mom's is on the third.)

Poor gramma got sick though D: SHe tried a new medication today for her memory and had a violent allergic reaction. The good news is she is on the mend. I want nothing more than to her to feel better and have some cake I made. :3

So yes, there you have it. My Dirty 30 in a nut shell. Kind of depressing.

Please remember to hug your loved ones tight. To wish that stranger you see a Merry Christmas, and remember that the holidays aren't about getting the most expensive gifts. It's about giving all the love you can to others. Mom's in the hospital after I found her face down in the bathroom. No one answered her call for help except me. Even my little sister, who's room was right next to the bathroom, didn't answer and she was awake! She just chose to ignore my mom's screams.

She was bleeding, throwing up, and passing in and out of consciousness and I thought that this was either caused by her MS, the Shingles, or a bad reaction to one of the medications she takes. (she takes over 20 pills a day now.) We got her to the hospital, but they are doing a lack luster job. She's cold, they forgot to feed her, she's got a headache and they won't bring her the meds she needs. They haven't even brought in a cloth to clean her up! She still had blood on her face and it's been nearly 24 hours! So I still worry.

She'll be okay thankfully (maybe), but I hope you all give your loved ones a hug and don't be stuck up or selfish. Even after all that happened my sister is still shittin' her pants about how 'omg now she won't get the clothes she wants.'

From me to you though,
Merry christmas.

Well the dispute is over. Fabric.com did nothing so I went straight to amazon and they settled everything. I got my money back right away, fabric.com got majorly bad reviews and I am stuck looking for white fur again.

In other news I got stuck with shingles so now I'm under house arrest and my life has been stripped away from me. There's probably a good chance I'll get kicked out of choir (the only thing I have in my life right now) because I'm thinking about all the preggy ladies and those that bring their babies. Why? Apparently I'm a danger to those groups according to the doctor.

So yeah, hopefully I can go back (not this week) but next week..... I'm crossing my fingers.

Not much else to report. Life has been pretty dull. I've been trying to find the motivation to draw because I owe some arts. Sadly every time I open a project I find myself unable to draw, and doing novice mistakes. It's frustrating to say the least. Anyone have ideas on motivation? I need some.

Edit: Update Oct 18th 2012.

So I did eventually get a hold of customer support but I had to wake up at the ungodly hour of 6am to do it. That was on the 5th. All they did was apologize and say that a refund should've been issued (it wasn't,) and that it would be 7 to 10 days/ It is now day 9 since that conversation occurred. It's been 26 days since I placed my order. If I had paid with paypal I'd be more or less screwed as it seems these guys are sitting on their hands and waiting out a '30 day' period. The thing is... I didn't use paypal.... I used Amazon..... I have till the end of the year to file claims. >:3

So if that is what they are indeed waiting for then I guess I just threw a monkey wrench into that system. I'm now looking into other online fabric stores (since buying here is canada is to damn expensive, like $40 a yard? I don't think so.) I know all about distinctive fabrics and what not. I'm looking into big Z fabrics as well. I wish I could order directly from shannon fabrics again but it looks like they stopped taking independent orders years ago.

Anyway, as for fabric.com, if nothing happens by friday then I'm taking more action. I'm done pussy footing around. My money, not theirs!

--------
I ordered fabric from these guys two weeks ago. Last week I got an email from them saying they only were gonna ship me the grey fur because that's all they had. Sure, fine. But they did not refund my money from the white fur. (over $60 worth) and every time I try to get ahold of a customer service representative they keep cutting me off or not answering me. I also found out that did NOT run out of the white fur I had ordered, both on amazon and on their site, and they continue to sell it. So I will continue to either try and get my refund from them or my white fur, and NEVER order for this horrible company ever again. I'm merely passing on the warning. It seems like I'm not the only one experiencing these things when it comes to these people.

EPIC RANT TIME!!!!!!

In regar to tonights events, since I couldn't be there, I will say my thoughts here where everyone can see!

Lets go over all the things my mother and my family did for EIleen Price, shall we? YAY! OKAY!

My mom & dad did the following for you:
-invited you to christmas/thanksgiving and other dinners and outings!
-Always called to check in on how you was doing. <3
-We were always there to pick you up when you fell and made sure you got medical attention right away.
-Invited you to the trailer.
-retrieved your car after people 'borrowed it' for longer than what they said. (Days and weeks vs said hour)
-called you to wish you a happy b-day, mothers day, etc. and gave you a gift or flowers.
-watched over your things when you were in a vulnerable state.
-Got you and lori to talk again. Happy days! yay!
- and wasn't it me and dad that would fix your computer all the time? ^_^ Yeeeah, it was <3333
-And personally I'd help you through things to in that regard. (BTW, you'll find an unfinished video tutorial on your computer in imovie about all the things I did to fix it up and make things easier you for. If you don't like what I've done, just follow the tutorial I made and you can reverse everything!)
-We called Fraser health to get you an interview to see if you'd qualify for help at home or moving to assisted living. (Note: the latter is by choice. No one is forcing anything.)

And this is all just a chip off the iceberg of what we've done for you and then some. So does this really constitute to calling my mother all those nasty things you said about her, and basically lying about what kind of person she is, and all the things she 'supposedly' didn't do? You know, the things I just listed above! Yeah! that list. :3

Gee, that sure doesn't sound like a horrible person to me and anyone that knows my mom knows that she's a kind and caring person. She goes above and beyond her own capabilities and limits a lot of the time for friends and family when she is such a sick person herself. She just doesn't put up with any Bull.

So to out and out lie like you just did and make wrongful accusations towards her, I can see why my dad has wiped his hands clean of you. His own mother. I hope you are proud of what you've just done. It's actually pretty pathetic, even for you. I honestly don't think there's anyway to make up for this. D: I can only imagine how upset dad really is, and how grandpa is looking down and shaking his head at you.

I know I've never asked anything from you, I've never borrowed a dime. I've always said please and thank you to you, and was grateful for anything you gave to me, so yeah, this hurts.

Lies really can hurt those you hold dear.  Oh well, Something to consider now isn't it... After all, you have all the time now with us not there calling you and what not.

So, goodbye.

P.S: no hiding that you've always hated me now!

Yup, I'm streaming.

Edit: thanks for coming :3

so I'm having one. [link]

Blame the cat for putting Ask Buddy and myself on hiatus.

My precious little furball of a cat sent my macbook crashing to the floor and now the hard drive is broken. It's making the clicking sounds of death, meaning the arm is probably broken. As you can image I'm feeling pretty damn crappy about it (and just in general) because all of buddy's art, ideas and story lines, were on there as well as my regular art (which has me chocked the most) important data. So I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it looked at, and hopefully get the data recovered. If I can't then bare with me as I set everything back up again and try and get this show back on the road. If I do get my files back, then it's right back to work. Cross your fingers everyone.

RULES:

1. For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!

2. If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

If you have been following Buddy the Companion Dog on Tumblr, I'm here to say that Buddy's moved to a primary journal so he can now ask and follow just like you!

He has the same URL as before:  AskBuddy.tumblr.com but in order to keep up with the updates you are going to need to refollow him! Simply go to his page AskBuddy on tumblr and the Seal will tell you what to do <3

All the questions from the old account has been transferred so I will continue to answer them but from there.

Here's the link just in case! [link]

Edit: Thanks Digimitsu, iTehHolli and Steve for joining me! You make me seal EVERYTHING!

See yeah there!

Thanks to all those that came on ^^

Living streaming some Ask Buddy comics because I can't sleep.

[link]

You've seen him pee on turrets, go after the cake, and chew up long fall boots, and while I am working on yet another buddy comic, I'm left wondering 'what to do next.' Literally. These things ain't easy but he's just SO much fun to draw!

So I'm officially opening Buddy's Ask Page over on my tumblr. Maybe you have a question about him or for him? Don't be shy, I could use the practice. Also follow it for Buddy comic exclusives that will, from time to time, contain guest appearances of insane wheatley, android glados, and others. (yes I get permission before using their characters. This way no one freaks out at me! XD)

So with out further ado, here you go: [link]

Ask away!
