"Not unless you want fried."
Sorry SarahN, I'm afraid that's pretty weird English. :] There are some verbs you can use that pattern with, but those developed out of colloquial use (and wouldn't be considered good English anyawy)…
i thought it was fine, sarahn.

iba- i cant fully answer, as i'm somewhere between college and full adult hood, a parallel universe as it were.
but even with a steady pay check, and always knowing exactly how much i'll get…(it only changes when i get promoted, every couple years) i still spend a lot of time worrying that i might not make enough, or spend too much in one area, and not have enough for another. and never enough in case of emergencies.
so i for one spend time worrying. maybe not as much as others, who can be laid off, and such, which i almost was (story for later)

i'm actually going to the gym. check that time in the time posted. that's six am. i cant believe myself, i think i've refound my motivation
i had even got back into bed and reset my alarm….but not this guy. not today. i WILL get in shape, even if i dont make my goal, i'm not stopping.
(i hope i convinced myself)
A question for those who already live in the world of grownupsI think it depends on what you're working towards- if you have a defined goal of what you want out of life, and a plan on how to get it. Being proccupied with that isn't "worrying", it's "ambition". Which is sometimes stressful, and sometimes requires temporary sacrifices in the department of what we'll call "R & R".
Today is the last day for Mid-Winter break! D:
T'was fun while it lasted. I got a LOT done on the comic too. Still have a lot more to do.
Also need to workout more today. I got back into it about a week ago, after not doing anything for about a month and a half.
Yesterday, my friend and his girlfriend picked me up from my house, and we all went to the local comic book store. I bought a few, and my friend bought one for his brother. We then headed up to the mall. At the mall, we walked around for a little while, until I realized that I wanted .05 lead Twist-Erase mechanical pencils. It's what I've been using to pencil Ryu's Krew since it started. But then mine broke.
So I've been using whatever to pencil it. Also needed wite-out pens. Went to the bookstore in the mall, got ANOTHER comic. And started looking for the pencil and wite-out pens. We went to Target, which is the only place in the mall that sells pencils and stuff like that. We found the wite-out pens. But no pencils. So we left the mall, and went across the street to Staples. There, it was when I found the pencils. Sadly, there was 2 in each pack. I only needed one. And there seemed to be only packs of ONLY black, or ONLY blue. I wanted one of each. Low and behold, behind the two packs I had in my hand, was a pack of 1 blue, and 1 black. I bought it for 9.99. But boy, it was worth it.
After spending the better part of an hour and a half writing a case observation, I forgot to hit the refresh button on an alternate page to renew my password login, since workers are logged out after 5 minutes of "inactivity".
The end result is the whole damn thing is gone.
I want to kick a puppy.
That sucks man. I want to start a new comic. And I had a manuscript I wrote 3 years that I knew would help shape it. Only to remember that I deleted the manuscript last week. It is the only script I had that I didn't backup elsewhere. So now I have to use my memory if I want to get it off the ground again.

Yep, that's pretty much life.That's kind of disappointing to hear, but I guess it's about what I expected to hear. I'm just going to have to find ways to work relaxing and taking things easy once in a while into life as I go. Thanks for the answers guys. I feel a bit more motivated to try and do something about it now.
Ouch. I think everyone here can agree that having to recreate something you put a great deal of effort into totally sucks ass.Yeah. I accidentally deleted a good chunk of my portfolio, which I've been developing for almost 6 years now, from both my laptop and external hard drive a week or so ago while trying to back up the files. Thankfully, I managed to piece it back together from flash drives I'd put it on to print at school and files left on my old computer at my parents house. It sucked though, I thought I'd royally screwed myself with irony for a day or two.

I lost 3 years of photos and writing when my last laptop died.
I'm so hungry right now! The only thing that can satisfy my hunger is noodles.
My comic shop cancelled my box…. because I haven't been in since October. I only get 3 titles, I hate going into town and paying £1 for parking for less than £8 worth of comics. Why can't I save them up for 3 months? I'd been doing it that way for 3 years. Suddenly it was not ok and they cancelled it without notifying me.
'Generously' the manager let me set up another box but told his employees to tell me that I have to come in every month to pick up titles. Jackass. It isn't like I have huge orders waiting to be picked up, and there's no 'space' limitation. I've been going there for 3 years. I really don't see the problem with coming in every 3 months.
The store employees were really nice about it though. One of them made sure I got called back, and the other one took down the back issues I was now missing and said they would track them down there, or at another of their stores, or reorder them from diamond.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo~
I owe my internets 50$ over. The bills 110$ for my parents(usually 60$), I feel bad but what's the point since they're not mad, they never are.
I finally decided on what 2 things I'm going to major in, they're both so horribly ironic lol.
I looked up an old friend on facebook and she's going to a university now, probably becoming a NURSE NURSE NURSE~
My other old friend is becoming a fucking surgeon, holy shit. actually he's wanted to be one since he was 15 and got his CNA then too, I should call him….
…….
…….
I prolly wont.
At least I still have my cats. :(
Not having caller ID on my cell phone is really annoying. Virgin didn't tell me that I wouldn't have it anymore when I switched plans. I missed a call a while ago and I have no idea who it was from. I think it might have been from a very spontaneous friend of mine who wanted to hang out and speak French sometime this week. I hope I didn't miss that. :(
Uhg. I scanned a bunch of pages today and uploaded them, but I think I'm gonna have to redo it.
I usually scan in B & W mode, but for some reason it seemed like I was losing detail. (Super-fine background lines that I make with an almost-dead micron. Nothing important, but it still bugs me.) The same problem might've happened when I scanned Ch. 1, and I just forgot. Or maybe there was less detail. Whatever. So I rescanned them as 8-bit grayscale. But I just compared them to the Ch. 1 scans, and they're nowhere near "crisp" enough, even after messing with the contrast in Photoshop. So I think I'm going to have to go back, scan them a third time in B & W mode, and just deal with the fact that some of the lines aren't showing up. It probably won't matter when I shrink them down, but it kinda robs me of the sense of accomplishment of having those pages ready to go.
blech. i went to the gym this morning….you know, seize the day and all that?
well, i decided to day, i would use swimming as my exercise. good idea? no. me being the cocky bastard that i am, believed i could swim 1500 meters. in half an hour. so i set off to do that. i mean, i was a lifeguard for four years. nope. i got maybe half that distance. mayyyybe.i'm talking somewhere between 500-700 meters. yeah. and now i feel it. i like the feeling, but i dont like that so little work made it happen.
in good news:
i told my wife i was hankerin a chicken salad…preferably one from burgerking,(i dont knwo why, but their new salads taste good) but that i was sad, because since we're trying to pay off the car ASAP, we're cutting the fat out of our budget. (ha, both food, and extra expenses it seems!!) and while i was at TKD, she went out and bought a premade salad thing, and a whole lotta chicken from the baker at walmart. and spent less than it would have been, to buy 2 of those from bk, and it tastes just as good, and i can have it for lunch tomorrow!!
she's so nice sometimes
I tried that when I first started scanning Ch. 1, but there didn't seem to be a different between scanning in grayscale or converting later. I think I managed to adjust the contrast on the grayscale scans to make them straight black and white- where it's actually holding detail and not looking all dingy and gray. It just seems like I remember scanning in B & W and having no worries earlier. Who knows?quality issuesHave you thought about scanning in 24-bit colour and then converting them to grayscale in photoshop? That's what I do and it's usually relatively loss-less in terms of detail stuff.
And that there is the main reason I moved to 100% digital- NO worries about loss of quality, at least in the "getting the drawing into the computer stage". The only quality loss usses are during the web saving phase. Takes away all that bother and worry :)quality issuesHave you thought about scanning in 24-bit colour and then converting them to grayscale in photoshop?
