So I'm 17 as of November 17th
Let me tell you it feels GREAT!
My mother, my boyfriend, and I went to Busch Gardens for the day. My mother and I rode roller coasters and we all had great time! Tommy and I even got a caracature (sp??) done for my birthday

On the bad side, the rest of life in general is sort of turning upside down. It's been my grandmother vs. my mom for quite a while now. Theres a looong past story with it but I would rather not take that long to type >.<;. So the last straw was this week. We were all sitting, eating dinner. (That in itself is new to us...eating dinner alltogether, hah!) When it got onto the subject of my boyfriend, Tommy.

Now..my mother and I have nice conversations usually. No yelling, no judging. I'm very thankfull for that. But when my grandmother gets into the mix...shit goes downhill. She had the bright idea to jump in the conversation and try to turn it around. It went something like this:

Grandmother: "So, how old is Tommy, now?"
Me: "Hes turning 18 in January -smilesmilesmile-"
Grandmother: -insert disgusted face and dramatic noise here-
Me: -getting mad- "Why does that matter?"
Grandmother: -more faces-
Me: -mad- "Your older...I dont see why someone being 18 matters to a hag."
Grandmother: -now appauled- "You better respect blahblahblah (she went on for a while)"
Mother: -gets annoyed- "Well what is it you meant then?! All you did was ask how old he was and make ugly faces when she tried to answer you!"
Grandmother: "Well she doesnt respect (more speach crap about how horrible both my mother and I are to her)"
Mother: "Well you can say whatever you want but then when someone stands up to you its dissrespect?!"
Me: -sitting there...jaw dropped...watching them go at it-

In the end it resulted in

Mother: "Just get out then...maybe you shouldnt want untill February to move. Just pack your shit and go"
Grandmother: "fine"

So she left. Theres now and empty room next to mine.
As much as I know I shouldnt be happy about it...im THRILLED!
Usually when my mom and I faught it was because of her.
She was so two-faced.
Now my mother and I can start fresh and actually LIVE LIFE!

So now im back onto some sort of track when it comes to my deviations. I would call a manip and an ID not too back for just comming back!

My moms been wild about me and my habits at night, as i usually stay up late on the computer, listening to music, or reading. On top of that my computer likes to go on the frits from time to time during the day, deciding if it wants my internet to work or not.

But ill overcome that all, both my mom and computer calm down after being left alone for a bit.

Im looking for a new subject for my next manipulation. If anyone has ideas as to what i should do, or a certain stock photo they would like to see me work on, ill be more than happy!

N-joi!

So really, ive been mean to my photoshop and my DA lately. Instead of even trying to get something new up, im sorta just walking around some ideas ive got floating in my head. Ive got somewhere around 3 good-ish ideas for works i could do...but when it comes down to it ive got almost no motivation whatsoever...

On top of the lack of motivation, ive got another wall between me and the 'submit deviation' button

Since February ive been dating a guy by the name of Austin (oh crap, make that 4 ideas ive got to work on...just got another.) He is 18 and has an 'interesting' line of work and i dont see him much besides nights and weekends. Usually, thanks to school, i get home around 4 in the morning from all of this, leaving around 2 to 1.5 hours for sleep before school. Needless to say, 2-3 out of my 7 classes are now devoted to sleeping and after school is for catching up.

But this is all to change, im now getting a lot more sleep at night because Austin's means of transportation to my house every night has broken down. I might be able to get some things on DA now that ill be awake for the classes i wasnt before.

Wish me luck!
