Oh summer, where have you gone...
Unfortunately I didn't finish anywhere near as much as I had planned, but I really think I needed that break from everything. Earlier this summer I could barely finish a sketch and though I still don't feel 100% motivation-wise, It's gotten a whole lot better than it was.
The same can be said about the emotional issues. Earlier this year, there was hardly a day I didn't wake up and immediately start crying for an hour or so. I'm not even entirely sure why this was the case. Whether it was college stress, one change after another, turning 20, not being able to find a job, fear of the unknown, I honestly don't know and I still don't know entirely but whatever it was, it continued through a large portion of may and came up every so often the next few months. I still often feel very down and discouraged, I know it's not a legit reason to be upset but, let's face it, we all get upset about shit, whether it be serious or not. Nevertheless, I'm trying to fight it off to the best of my abilities and with a heck of a lot of distractions and some very amazing friends, I think I've got it decently under control for the time being.
So that just leaves the subject of college. Honestly, I don't feel anything. I'm not particularly excited to go back but I'm not really upset either and the same can be said about starting my major. I don't know it just feels like stuff is happening and I'm just watching it happen. It's rather unnerving. I know the feeling will most likely change when I get back. I really did enjoy my first year and I feel I've improved at least a little bit so that's good. Another positive is the fact I'm not sharing a room with the living trash heap again. My roommate this year was one of my good friends last year. We're both in the same major and seem to have the same sense of cleanliness and personal space among other things. So I'm a bit happy for that and hoping it'll work out decently enough.
Once again, I really don't remember what I was going to say next so with that, (and apologies for all the downer journals lately) I leave you with this adorable man singing to chatroulette people

I haven't done a journal in a while so!
1. Post all rules.
2. Write 8 facts about your character.

4. Write the name of the character with its owner

Poli
1. Poli is based on and named after Neapolitan ice cream. I have no real difinitive preference for how to pronounce their name so both pool-y and polly are both acceptable
2. Poli is nb and fluctuates between they/them and she/her but never masculine pronouns
3.They work as a soda jerk in an ice cream parlor, contrary to what would be expec
Thank you! (stream followup)
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to last night's stream! I was absolutely floored by the amount of support you folks were willing to offer, words cannot describe how much it means to both me and my family.
Thanks to everyone's help, we raised a total of $406 during the 14 hours of streaming we did and 100% of that money has been since donated to the ASPCA! (proof https://twitter.com/StupidShepherd/status/925139789929738243)
I apologize to anyone who was unable to grab a slot last night, I did not expect so many people to show up and want one so dealing with that orginization was a bit of trial and error. However all your suggestio

Hey guys!
Just wanted to let anyone who was interested know that I will be doing a commission stream tomorrow in which all money made will be donated to the ASPCA
Backstory
If you are curious as to why, My aunt passed away this month due to a year long battle with stage 4 lung cancer. Her memorial service is being held next week, however I will be unable to attend. Regardless of this though I would like to send my condolences to my extended family in a way that was a bit more lasting and meaningful than flowers. My aunt had a huge love for animals (cats specifically) and something like this is probably what she would've wanted.

A much needed update
I feel like I've used that journal title before a few times but there's really no other title that would fit better nor am I creative enough to come up with a better one.
But yes! Hi! Hello! To anyone who actually reads these, it's been a while I bet. As much as I frequently check my DA, I still often times forget I can actually post things here. it's weird.
I always tell myself I should probably start uploading more here and a lot of times try to promise that in my journals, but looking back on it, it feels like the majority of my stuff really dosen't have a place here anymore if that makes sense? The amount of activity my posts here
