So, Gummi has a lot of things to do. A LOT of things to do...

And really, to be honest with you guys and gals, I've not been in a super good head-space lately. I'm getting a little worn down from living with my mom and aunt, both who suffer from depression, and are both having a really rough time with work. And they always come to me for advice, or just to rant.

Not that I mind, but it kinda wears on you after a while, you know? It's like, when someone's drowning, they latch onto the person that's trying to help them, and drag them under too, because they're panicky and scared. Not that I'm drowning just yet, but... that's basically what it's like. Kind of a hard rut to get out of too, when everyone you're around is struggling.

But, things are getting better, slowly but surely, and I have my dear friends to thank for that. I try not to drag them down, but they're good flotation devices sometimes... Mostly because they offer their advice, and then we can move along. They distract me, after giving me something to work with to make my own decision, and it helps, a lot.

But mostly, it's my lady that's really been there for me. She's good for me, something I've always known... But if it weren't for her lending me an ear, I'd be a lot worse off. She's patient with me, and understanding, and I adore her for it. And every now and again, I'm able to return the favor.

I'm a really lucky gal.

But, moving along and away from Gummi's issues at the moooment, back to my list of things to do!

As far as artwork goes, I'm a TERRIBLE procrastinator. *shame-faced* I have a TON of art that I need to do for the BBA... but I lack the inspiration and will to do it, because most of the trades, I haven't gotten any sort of response on their half... So, I'll do those that have been kind and done their part, and apologize profusely for taking so damned long.

But seriously, I have like... around 25 things I've got to do for BBA... >_O Six trades, five requests, two on my 'waiting list' and about a dozen or so gifts. I bite off more than I can chew sometimes; but it's nice knowing people like my art.

Also, I've got a lot of art to do for Elysian. Plus, there's a huge project in the making that I -really- need to get a start on... I haven't got a clue as to how many people I told that I'd draw for them, probably around five or so... so yeyz for that.

And then I have my own forum, Restitution Harbor... that needs character sheets for all the comic characters. >_O;; And there's probably around... 15-20 of those I need to do. *hangs head* Again, bit off more than I could chew, but it's on the back burner, since it's my own forum.

On top of that, I believe I have some art I owe people on DA, but I can't remember who, exactly. So, shame on me.

And I also have a lot of forum work to do for both Elysian and RH. Plus, I'm involved in a huge plot on a friend's forum, and I have yet to integrate myself into that. Really late in doing so, but at least my character isn't punctual at all. *laughs* But as Admin on Elysian, I need to get the last area up and running, and have been putting that off for quite a while; did get Tlaloc going though... S'getting a little hard to keep up with everything, but I plan on struggling through till I can figure out a nice medium between RP and real life.... I hope. o_o;;

Speaking of real life, I started college yesterday. First class (Astronomy), my teacher never showed up. *laughs* it's only a three-day-a-week class too, so needless to say I was a little disappointed. However, my second class, is downright amazing. It's German 101, and I have the most awesome professor ever. It's going to be easy, and super fun, so I'm really excited about that. n_n

So really, the purpose of this Journal is just to let you guys know what's goin' on. Why I'm takin' so damn long for everything, blahblahblah, so on and so forth. Just wanted to give ya'll a heads-up.

Thanks for bein' y'know... awesome. <3
