My last journal entry was in mid July. I'm getting to be as lazy with these as I am with my submissions. Things are not looking good for my little corner of DeviantArt. But wait! what light through yonder browser window breaks? It is I, come to ressurrect this dying account.

No, not with submissions, but with useless banter! Okay, maybe not that useless, but banter nonetheless. If your hoping for submissions, then all I can say to you is this: All you need is just a little patience....*microphone hump*

If you understand that joke, I'll do a commission for you.

Let me begin with the most pressing matter in my life at the moment. MY F***'N BANK WON'T GIVE ME MY MONEY!!! They put some kind of hold on my paycheck and they aren't going to credit my deposit until Saturday. Bear in mind I deposited this paycheck last Thursday, which was one week ago, which is one week and two days that I have to wait to be able to use my money. Also They never sent me a notice until two days ago. So of course, I thought I could use my money and did and now I'm over-drawn. It was only thirty one dollars, but they just love to tact on those surcharges and now it's up to fifty.

I'm going to write them and angry letter. And then I'm going to take that angry letter and give the teller papercuts. Nasty papercuts between her fingers. From now on, I deal with cash.

The next most pressing matter in my life at the moment: I have no Interwebs. After months of fighting with Verizon and they're army of Indian customer service reps who insist the line check was proper and that I do in fact have service even though I clearly did not we finally canceled our account with them. We won't get service again until the new company sends a technician. So we've gone back to the oldest of Internet traditions, stealing it from someone elses wireless network. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Anyway, the point is that I was able to get some Wii points recently and of course I said to myself, "I'm goint to download Ocarina of Time." and I did, at least I almost did. I can download it for free now since the Wii points were already deducted from my account, but that stupid little Mario download bar just won't work and my Wii will tell me to try again later. I don't know if any of you know this, but the last time I played Ocarina of Time (My favourite game) was in the ninth grade, after which point I had my video games taken away from me and my Nintendo 64 smashed with a hammer. If you can imagine, you'll understand I've been itching to play the best game ever made again. (I'd buy a new 64 but I think I left my copy of the game in West Virginia after I hid it in the ceiling to keep it safe). So I am anxious for new Internet service.

Which brings me to my next pressing matter. My laptop power cord is severed in two at the connector. If any of you have a Dell laptop, then you probably know my fury. After reading reviews online, I've come to understand that this particular power cord is so poorly designed that it craps out after about thirteen months. That puts it just about right for me. Now I'm going to have to buy a new one for sixty-five dollars online from Dell because no place sells a replacement cord that fits my computer. Thanks Dell. I've been thinking of getting this HP we have at work. It was 4gigs of RAM and a 320 GB hardrive. I don't know where I'd get the money, though. (It's eight hundred and fourty-eight dollars before taxes). Oh well.

I haven't drawn anything new. I tried to finish a piece I had started a while ago now, but I ended up getting mad at it and stopped. I just bought a 132 pack of Prismacolor colored pencils. I must say, I very much like it, and I got it for eighty bucks! Whether or not I have any left by the time I get around to using them depends on , who is using them like crazy for her class. I love her though. Anyway, I have felt like drawing for a long time now, I'm just such a perfectionist. I can't be happy with anything. But I'll try harder, just for you.

I think I might start doing fan art. I know, I know, "But Janon! You said you didn't like to do fanart! You said you like to draw original artwork and not rip off other people's talent!" That's what I said alright, but that's also how my love for drawing began, way back when. Drawing everyone and everything from TV and video games and movies, I developed (and at the same time, ruined) my style, and I think I'm going to go back to that until I rediscover my passion. So it stands to reason that you should never say anything because one day you may have to eat your own words. And I have said a lot of things.

So let me leave you with this today. Never say anything. And Internet is like a drug you can't get over. And bury your money in a can in your back yard. No one will think to look for it there.

Audieu.
