Late night thoughts

Can’t sleep at the moment. I have so much on my mind. Excuse my lack of punctuation with my writing today. Im texting in bed, from my phone. I just need to unwind my head otherwise ill be tossing and turning all night.

Today i decided to snoop on my former art director/co-worker. See where shes up to these days since she left without saying a word to any of us. Looks like she made her way to the new city we heard she was moving to. Seems happy despite leaving a job when she and her husband were so financially unstable. She is a year younger than me, but found her soulmate at a  young age. I kind of envy her. Shes so happy with her life despite not knowing where things are taking her. Shes with a guy who truly adores and loves her. He treats her like gold and supports her with everything. I found their little facebook group when she was trying to run her design business. I was pretty impressed with what they had going. She was doing all the design work and he did heavy promoting and supported her throughout it. But the business thing was really hard as it was hard to get enough work in to live. They stopped the business a couple years ago. Now theyre venturing out a new city together.

I guess i envy the type of support she has. When you have it, you become the best you can be. I guess im still looking for that support. I am so busy pleasing everyone else that i wear myself thin and lose self worth for myself. And being around the wrong type of people just doesnt help that. I wish i could just pick up my things and go again. But fear holds me back.

Im at the age where i should be excited about my career and getting ready to get married. But of course, im not. Not even close. Im not really ready for marriage but the thought does cross my mind wondering if ill ever be that girl who becomes elated over a marriage proposal. Even one of my friends, who is the biggest tomboy youll ever meet and the last person to even want to be in a long term relationship is now married! The guy really cares about her and shes finally realized what its like to have someone care and love her so much. Which im happy for her.

I guess thats whats on my mind right now. And few other things. But i think this is what i yearn for more than anything. Support and knowing im worth the trouble… Well i suppose we only have less than a year left anyway. :p i hope i can experience a new country before it all ends at least if not the support thing.

Someone on twitter reminded me of this guy&#8230; I never posted this up because I was going to create some charms with it! But I never got around to it! Plus, I still have kokeshi charms left as I stopped actively selling them. :&#8217;D But I&#8217;m still trying to give some away randomly to those liked me on FB once I reach 100. :3

Someone on twitter reminded me of this guy… I never posted this up because I was going to create some charms with it! But I never got around to it! Plus, I still have kokeshi charms left as I stopped actively selling them. :’D But I’m still trying to give some away randomly to those liked me on FB once I reach 100. :3

Sometimes…

…I wanna vent about something, but I don’t know how to go about writing it. Whatever, the case, now I know why I stopped using facebook. -_-; Too many vague melodramatic statuses that are taken incredibly seriously; Stuff that should be left private. 

Least to say, the unsubscribe button was probably facebook’s best feature.  

Finally finished inking a commission I&#8217;m working on. It took longer than I would have hoped because I recently upgraded to CS5 and my tablet was not playing well with it! I only realized it after asking my friend if he knew what the problem was. Apparently tablet drivers are still constantly being updated and I had no idea. :&#8217;D So I finally upgraded my tablet driver today and it seems to be working fine now! Which is great news for me as it means I don&#8217;t have to upgrade my tablet. It&#8217;ll be my 8th year with my intuos2! It&#8217;s been doing me good so far! I found some spare nibs in my closet a couple months ago, although, I haven&#8217;t changed it at all once since I got this thing. I guess now that I look at it, it looks pretty short. :&#8217;D A new tablet is the last thing on my mind right now.. I need to get a new hard drive to back up my files and I&#8217;m looking to get a laptop. I miss having the option of bringing my work with me! Especially lately as I&#8217;m always away on weekends and that&#8217;s when I get the most time to work on freelance&#8230; I told myself I&#8217;d cut back on taking freelance this year but I haven&#8217;t. XD; I can&#8217;t help it. :&#8217;D It&#8217;s because I&#8217;m stuck doing editorial layouts full time at work and I really miss illustrating. So I try and do it as much as I can. I&#8217;m better off forced to do as a job otherwise I get lazy, or I make plans to see people and don&#8217;t end up drawing for myself. Here&#8217;s to hoping I can get a new laptop soon so I can be mobile with my work. :&#8217;D

Oo was talking about Coach purses at work because my co-worker has vintage ones she found at consignment shops&#8230; felt like looking on their site and I actually found one I like! I really like simple yet well tailored purses. I really hate the flashy print on most coach bags. Too juvenile for my taste I suppose but I love this one. It&#8217;s too bad I can&#8217;t justify paying this much for a purse! :&#8217;D
