The Year from H3LL

This has been a very hellacious year, between family, cars, health, and just general ick.

So, a basic recap of what you've missed so far!

1.  My Geo Metro threw a rod in February, leaving me stranded with five bags of clean laundry, a laptop computer, and a dog.  Was able to get a lift into town, and my family picked up my car for me.

2.  Had to nearly jump through flaming hoops to get my TARDIS (2010 Chevy Malibu in Tardis Blue).

3.  Get prepped to move.  Realize don't have money to move.  Scowl and re-sign lease.  Prepare to move next year.

4.  Panic about convention.  Finish about a dozen sticker designs just in time for con.

5.  Go to convention.  Have a mixture of the best year and the worst year.  Sell a doll and much clothing.  Sell almost no artwork.  (Proceed to make about $25 on stickers alone, which is pretty awesome, since they were mostly about $.25/piece, and about $.02 to $.05 each to make)

6.  Become official "sponsor"-like being for US BJD sculptors.  Or at least just the one so far.  (Simply Divine, GO CHECK THEM OUT)

7.  Drive back from grandma's after convention.  Proceed to RUN OVER DEER. 

8.  Spend a week and a half in the world's worst loaner car ever.  (I called him Mr. Gold.)

9.  FINALLY get my TARDIS back (gorram doe took out my radiator, fan, bumper, and knocked the rear alignment). 

10.  Realize I'm spending Thanksgiving (properThanksgiving, fourth Thursday of November) alone at my apartment with my dog and possibly McDonald's cheeseburgers.  Proceed to have mixed feelings (Yaaaay, me time, I can clean and relax.... Boooo, I don't like being alone).

11.  Realize I also get to spend Christmas alone.  (It's on a Tuesday, and I don't have Christmas Eve or the day after off.)  Rejoice because now I get my presents about a week early instead.


*sighs*

Like I said, this has been a very interesting year.  A few good ups!  Quite a few downs... *sighs*

Quote of the Day!  I miss doing this...

"Sleeping in the corners of the earth,

My companions, I have never known.

Blindly riding forth, is honor worth

endless hours of silence spent alone?

"Rescue damsels fine and maidens fair;

Free the noble who have done no wrong;

though it seems the world may little care,

Some are left that to the Round belong!"
