Welcome to the club - of pain. Those fingertips will soon get callouses so you don't feel that particular pain any more, but there plenty more pain on the way!
Like when those callouses get a little dry and split open when you slide up that high E. That really hurts a lot - especially if you were going for a whole tone bend.
Guitar players make those faces for a reason.

Soo, I got some news from the guy proofreading my novel…
first, he likes my style but I should spend more time describing things cause some points are more like directions for an artist to draw something (that is leaving a lot room for imagination in a way that I describe that someone is going through the corridor but don't really tell much about that corridor at all)…
second, I seem to be making a triple-truckload of minor grammar errors. Consistently the SAME grammar errors, haha. And misspellings, like writing strenght instead of strength.
Soo, I won't see the text for a bit longer I guess, haha.

Speaking of the new comic thing… I have a bit of a question to everyone.
Which option is better: a 200-page volume with 10 chapters every 20 weeks? OR a 240-page volume with 12 chapters every 24 weeks?
In other words, more frequent (next volume a month faster) or a longer read? (price would be the same most likely).
Dropped off my resume at a pet store and got a call to come in for an interview like a few hours later. :)
canada still accepts paper copies of resumes? if you go anywhere and ask for a job here, they'll ask if you've applied online yet… except maybe mom and pop stores.

I had the most fu*ked up dreams last night. i had about 30, but technically there were two.
I was inside the multiplayer for battlefield: bad company 2. runnin and gunnin and hiding. i went inside a trailer and suddenly i was insided Adventure Time, and i was Finn the Human. i'm leading these people on an adventure, turns out it was luke and leia and han. we were runnin from darth vader. we went into a room, and the lights blew out. so we went somewhere else altogether. then we went back to the trailer. and went into one room, and leia left with Darth vader into the room that the lights blew out. she came back in and said something had pulled darth vader under the bed. Our lights started flickering and one blew out, when i looked under the bed i started to be pulled under. but i was stuck in some sort of sleep paralysis (insided a dream, so weird). eventually after shaking the bed leia helped me out, and i woke up from this nightmare.
Second dream(s)
after that any time i closed my eyes, i was always in a crowded place, and it'd get real quiet and everyone would stare at me all creepy like.
Thank you Christopher Nolan.
man, are yer dreams on crack?

I would go for the longer read, personally. I've always preferred more content to a book.

I'm staying in my room for the rest of the week and drawing constantly.
this won't actually happen.
but it would be nice.

Most places here do that too. This is a fairly small store. A lot of places you can apply either in person OR online, too.
Thats not what I was getting at. But thanks for trying.That entire thing was noticed by ozone and now its gone forever. Not enough people watch that show.
EDIT: to actually contribute something and avoid sidetracking this whole thread into another pointless territory that nobody cares about besides one other person (thanks alwinbot for shootin' the Always Sunny breeze with me),
I heart you lefarce. You give me a heart on.

Well, you're the second person that picked the longer option. That makes it 4 vs 2 in favor of more frequent releases.

I hate girls. Girl told me today that she couldn't see us anything more than friends.
:\
so I had a momentary brilliance in html code…. or so I thought… probably brought on by my lack of sleep I've had lately which basically led to me deleting half the code for my homepage and getting stuck working on it for about 12 hours trying to fix it O_o thankfully I got it fixed but that was my daily reminder that I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing :P
..oh and Ryuthehedgewolf, totally feel for ya on that last one there.
So I got to watch the new Futurama episodes (first 8 that is) and in the last one (That Darn Katz, the one with… cats!) there's this moment when Amy and the crew go to The Hip Joint. And there's this cool upbeat electronic track playing for something like 6 seconds before it's faded into the background (and thus limited to soft thumping of the beat rising from under the conversation).
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SONG IT IS!!!
*obsessed*
Argh…
In other news: my sleeping pattern is shot. it is now approaching noon and I am JUST going to bed, haha.
In OTHER other news: I've been doing this daily sketch thing since my birthday and plan to continue until the next one.
Got 33 pieces so far :D Today's piece will be done inthe evening, after the nap.
Aurora, Aurora, Aurora… rock is where it's at my friend ;)
Argh Bloody-Fu&*&$ing-jebus!!!! My arm friken HURTS!
The doctor bent it around to see where the pain was and now the pain is everywhere! :gem:
No idea what the prob is though… Could be soft tissue, could be nerve… As I already suspected. SO I still have to book to have an X-ray and an ultrasound… and then another follow up appointment with the doctor.
At least he wasn't what I was expecting… I have no regular doctor because I don't get very sick or have any on going health probs. Anyway, he had a great globe of grey hair sticking straight out all around his head. It was cool. :)
But I'm STILL in pain!
when i hurt mine, they sent me to a physical therapist, and by twisting my arm in 30 directions he found the problem in a minute. it hurt like hell,when he found the problem, but was worth it to know the problem.

(not for the faint of heart)
Soooo you guys remember that pain i complained about? when running i couldn't breathe and it hurt and stuff? it happened again yesterday so i went to the ER (emergency room). they did a lot of poking and proding on my stomach, and then took some xrays.
they said every looked normal except…uh, i was…backed up a little. and by a little apparently a lot. Which doesn't make sense, cause i had no problems evacuating the area. So i took some laxatives, and it took me 18 hours to go.
tl;dr lulz, constipation.
tl;dr lulz, constipation.Hilarious! :)
God I wish constipation was my problem. faaarrrrk!
Still hurting. Like a stabwoundFuckit.
Also, I'm really cold. The temperature dropped like 15 degrees the other day and hasn't gone up yet. >: (And you're Canadian, so that must be seriously cold. :(
in pain. Gonna have a shower.
The flash player update really hates that wowio video embed. I'm going to have to adblock it or something (I'll email asking them to fix the errors and send the messages I got) because it's harassing me to confirm or dismiss errors and it's crashing the browser. :[
Edit: Just needed more updatin'

This wowio thing was much better when it was only on the front page and didn't lag up every page on drunkduck.
Took my cat to the vet, she has a lump on her side that i wanted to get checked out. Ahaha god…the first thing the vets assistant did was get the butt thermometer out and insert in. My cat just flattened her girth onto the table and was too scared to even move for about 15 minutes after that.
But i'm taking her in in the next couple weeks to get this needle thing done to make sure the lump isn't anything bad (doctor thinks it's fat but better to be sure). It'd be great if it was just fat though.

hippievan applying online:
my wife went into an old navy store, asked for a job, the hiring manager freaked out (in a good way) told her to go home and apply online immediately, she applied online, called the store, store said okay. 1 hour later they called her and got her an interview set up for the next day.
I can't say all stores operate this way, but it's dumb.
——————————
i took more "medicine" and am waiting on the results. pry won't hit until 5 am again.
I have not felt well all day today. I woke up feeling very sore and I've have this sore, phlegmy throat since yesterday. It's also unseasonably cool where I live, and I've felt very lethargic all day today, to the point where I barely felt like getting out of bed. I finished two comics today, but just barely, as I had to fight to work on the second one. I wonder if I've come down with something and don't know it.
