Welcome back, Me.

Not too much stuff has happened. I've finally renewed an interest in traditional art, so hopefully I'll start posting frequently again soon (unlike Dustin). I won't be updating my photography on this site anymore. So if you're a fan of the kitties and stuff, you can check that out on my other account:



So hit it up.

So yeah. How have you all been? I missed my friends!!

Sometimes, it's just the best way to save yourself from things that will just won't stop hurting you.

Besides. It's just a small break. I'll be back, without a doubt. I've been addicted to DA since like 2003 (this was my 2nd account!).

Check out my friends while I'm away:



L A T E R

I fly like paper, get high like planes, if you catch me at the border I got visas in my name.
If you come around here, I make them all day, I get one down in a second if you wait.

All I want to do is BANG BANG BANG BANG!
And KA-CHING!
And take your money
All I want to do is BANG BANG BANG BANG!
And KA-CHING!
And take your money
All I want to do is BANG BANG BANG BANG!
And KA-CHING!
And take your money

Pirate skulls and bones, sticks and stones and weed and bombs. Running when we hit them, lethal poison through their system

Some, some, some, I some I murder
Some, I some I let go
Some, some, some, I some I murder
Some, I some I let go
All I want to do is BANG BANG BANG BANG!
And KA-CHING!
And take your money

I LOVE THAT SONG. It's played out as hell. I kinda sigh with disappointment everytime it comes on. But I can't deny how fond of that song I've become. I haven't even seen Pineapple Express yet and all I wanna do is BANG BANG BANG BANG and KA-CHING and yeah. Jack yo shit.

(God, I'm such a sell-out, huh?)

Anyway, loves.

I've got some tickets for sale for some shows in Southern California. Details can be found at [link] . Just scroll down to the calendar.

(God, I'm such a sell-out, huh?)

Life's been pretty fun and interesting, as always. Planning on going back to school in November, hopefully it'll consume all of my spare time (I really would love to be motivated again for the first time in like a year). Besides. Nursing school has got to be fun.

Yes. Kristina the Nurse. (God, I'm such a sell-out, huh?) But, it's something that I think I'd be really good at. And the program in itself is pretty promising too. It's a hardcore program that is pretty much going to cram like 7 years of schooling into my brain in a little over 3 years. So hopefully, I'll have my Bachelor's in Nursing by the time I'm 25, which translates to >$90,000 a year, which translates to buying a condo by the time I'm 35? Haha. Given I stay in Los Angeles. I want to move north, or just out of the state (selllll-out).

I was SO stoked to put gas in my car at $3.97/gallon the other day. It's a big fall from last month's $4.50. Omg, I can stop collecting change to buy food~!!

Which I wouldn't have to do if I didn't compulsively buy concert tickets, or had a more gas efficient vehicle!!!!

So yeah, my SoCalifornian brethren, hit up my sell-out space ([link] , for those of you who aren't going to bother looking back up after finishing reading this), and send me a note if you're interested.

And of course, the features.

Some of my favorite deviations posted this month:

SMILE.




Yeah.

I totally need a Chelsea Grin. I think I'll do that tonight.

After I sleep. If I get any. It's become a scarce commodity, this sleep. I wonder when I'll just pass out from exhaustion.

I've found that the most effective way to temporarily deal with a cocktail of pain, anger, depression, or utmost irritance is distraction (note the word temporarily. If you remain distracted, then you just become negligent and dig a deeper hole, which I have also learned).

And, stuck in this rut I like to call my pitiful existence, I've found the most effective distractions have to do with:

a) Singing or Dancing In An Embarrassing Fashion to Music in the Office or Vehicle

Let's Dance to Joy Division by The Wombats
