I can’t think of a title, so… that’s the best I got.

So we’re in the new year, whoop-dee-doo. Same shit, different year, I say. It’s becoming harder and harder to get a job, especially where I live. It doesn’t help that my car is still out of commission until I fix it. Thankfully, my uncle came by the other day and checked out my car. He found what the problem was… an over $100 problem. I’m hoping that our friend who works at an auto parts place can get the part for cheaper. Once we get that, the car should be good as new.

I’ve been really active on deviantart.com lately, and I recently received Senior status. Senior status is given to those artists on the site who have given a lot back to other artists, have created exceptional work, or have just been a driving force and powerful influence in the community. I was shocked and honored to have gotten it. However, every positive is balanced with a negative, it seems. I entered a contest run by the site’s staff for the new videogame that’s coming out soon, Darksiders: Your Last Days. I was quite disappointed with the entries that were chosen. In fact, I was completely dumbstruck. Some of the entries had almost nothing to do with the actual theme, or were poorly done, or could have been replaced with MUCH stronger entries. Even my hubby, who is brutally honest… even to the point that he says things sometimes that hurt my feelings, agreed with me. Whatever, is all I can say.

I just finished another commission recently, and I’ll be uploading it to my website soon. It came out pretty damn cool, considering I used all my own stock and painted a lot of it.

I’m still hungry, so I’m gonna go get a late night snack. Ciao.

Big fucking deal. :rofl:

So the party was pretty fun, except for a few moments here and there that, quite frankly, aren’t worth mentioning. There was a lot of food, family, friends, alcohol (of course), and best of all, Audi. He came to the party in an understandably bad mood (considering the events that had transpired before he arrived there), but eventually his mood lifted and he was able to enjoy the party more. After the “ball dropped” at midnight, everyone stayed at the party until about 2am or so. Audi wanted to stay a little longer, so naturally I stayed as well so I could spend time with him.

Last night, I got an important lesson on how the choices we make can affect the outcome of our lives. I was originally going to carpool with my friend Dustin and his wife Carolina. However, while I was sitting in their living room waiting for them to finish getting ready, I started thinking. “Hmm, what if Adiel decides to stay longer? What if I decide I want to leave earlier? What if…?” So, I asked Dustin if it would be all right if I just followed them to the party, rather than ride with them in their car. He said that was fine. Now, if I had chosen to carpool with them, I would have had to leave when they did. However, since I had chosen to go in my own car, I was able to stay at the party and stay with Audi.

It’s a good thing I had my car, too. When Audi finally wanted to head out, he said he was going to head over to Dave’s to pick up a few things. I asked if I could go over there with him, and he said that’d be fine. So, we both hopped into our cars and drove over there. When we arrived, he told he had decided to just drive back up to Tequesta, FL. I was a little bummed but… at the same time, I was still happy for the little extra time I got to spend with him. We loaded up his stuff, and then talked a little bit in the driveway until we both headed home.

I won’t be able to see him for a while. *sigh* It sucks when you miss someone you love, especially when you know that sometimes… that person doesn’t miss you, or even love you, in return.

Happy New Year… what a load of shit.

Life, Love Audi, new year, Party
