Kitten-Inspired Procrastination
2 min read
Been awhile since my last Journal, eh? Anyway...
Tonight, I finally got ready to sit down and write. I had the big scene planned out, and was trying to figure out how to open up the story. Just as I plugged in the right music and marinate in the mood, who should come along but one of the four kittens I'm taking care of?
So Ginger decided he wanted to walk across the keyboard. Of course, I don't allow that, and kept shooing him away. He then turned to gnawing on the wire to my headphones.
"Go play with one of your siblings," I told him as I picked him up by the scruff of the neck and plopped him down on the floor. The little blond kitten wouldn't have any of this, and jumped back on my lap. I gave up, instead opting to ignore him.
Little Ginger then decided my hand was far too fascinating to ignore and started trying to wrestle. So, one-handed typing it was. But I couldn't stay in the right mood for the scene with all this cuteness!
"Ginger, stop being cute!" I ordered.
Gnaw-gnaw-gnaw on my fingers, all four paws wrapped around my hand and wrist.
"I'm trying to write here!"
Gnaw-gnaw-gnaw down to my wrist, all four paws now wrapped around my forearm.
"It's a serious scene, kitty! I can't write something so sad with something so silly going on!"
For a moment he stopped, almost as if to consider my request, then suddenly flipped and started nibbling on my elbow.
"I'm trying to write a death scene!" I pleaded this time, trying not to giggle.
Before anything more could come of it, two more kittens showed up, all demanding to be on my lap.
So here I am hours later, with one kitten asleep next to me, the other two wrestling with each other on my lap, and still no writing done.
I am not ashamed of this.
Have a good day, everyone!

Happy Friday 13th!

YAY FRIDAY THE 13TH! Such a lovely day 
As such, I may write a short creepy drabbly piece and post it onto here later today.
ALSO~ Thinking of going out and buying myself some colored paper (and maybe some neon colored pencils?) for drawing my *Elemental Creature Companions, as well as some possible vent/fanart. If anyone's interested in making requests for these (especially the ECC's), please let me know in the comments!
In the meantime...still dealing with health sillies and cleaning out my emotional quagmire (no, not the Family Guy kind).
Hope y'all have a wonderful, LUCKY Friday the 13th!
*The Elemental Creature Companions are those fantasy-themed animals mentioned in my Looking Up Journal posted several months back, the ones based on people's personalities and accompanying "elements" and largely inspired by WoodSplitterLee's posable fantasy dolls. One example is a red fox (chief totem) comprised of a metal skeleton framework with the hind legs of a sheep and a lion's tail, all encased in flames (Chinese zodiac: Year of the Metal Sheep and Greek astrology: Leo). I have a few other rough drafts in mind, but this is one that's been mostly complete in my mind since I first came up with the idea. If there are any questions about how each sign is incorporated into the design, feel free to ask!

MORE DRAWINGS!!
1 min read
Alright. So, my youngest brother decided to randomly start cleaning up some of the clutter at our parental unit's place, and found an old binder that contained a few drawings of mine. It also contained some written stuff, but those won't be submitted for...reasons. The drawings were interesting enough, so I took some (terrible) pictures of them with the Nikon camera and will be posting them momentarily!
Some of the drawings are going to be a little bit on the disturbing side, so I'll upload those first, then end with the cutest and/or okay-ish drawings.
Also, some will probably go into my Scraps. Just because.
Damn, I really need to get back into drawing...
Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

Clutching at Straws

Still trying to work up the nerve to actually draw something... Anything... Also to write more stuff; preferably something less emotional dribble and more short story. Might sketch out a quick fanfic for a book I recently finished reading. Who knows.
Spontaneously thought of a possible Castle of Nations character a few hours ago; a conjoined Carousel ornament that broke free from their poles. Based rather loosely on some particular 'rides' that I've seen on some Carousels (where there's a horse attached to a carriage with a coachman sitting off to one side holding the reigns) and the notion (or perhaps observation?) that some amusement parks have a "kiddie area" for those young'uns who are either not tall enough or simply not old enough to go on the other rides and/or attractions. Intended to be one of the more blood-thirsty characters in the park, especially in regards to small children.
Why no, they're not at all based on the Carousel creatures in any of the original Silent Hill games, why would you even ask?
Take care, everyone~
ugh, being so dizzy all the time sucks...
