Birthday

1 min read
Thanks for all the birthday wishes and such! I'll get to replying now that I'm awake. I don't really have a sleep schedule these days, and my birthday didn't change that.

Life is pretty dull right now! I'm taking this time to get myself into better health. To make a long story short, I did a lot of damage to myself over the past five years. I started trying get myself together over last year, without much success.

I still feel pretty lousy, but waking up each morning feels less and less lousy, and I'm starting to feel more energetic. An old friend of mine even got me into fencing. Hands are steadier, and I'm able to sculpt again. My next one should be really, really soon. I'm trying to go a bit overboard on details.

Besides all that, I'm also going back to school in the Fall, for metal fabrication. I wouldn't be too upset if I ended up working in an office again, but I feel like three years was enough for now.

Fired.

Oddly enough, this isn't a sad journal at all.

I just got fired. Like, just now. I realized I've never made a journal entry from my office before. Well, it's not technically my office anymore, but alright.

This job has essentially been my life for the last three and a half years. Even when I didn't need the money, I still cared a lot about my career here. But thinking back, it totally derailed my life. I gave up on school, I didn't have nearly as much time to sculpt.

Besides work, I've had another unfortunate circumstance in my life that's made sculpting difficult. But over the past few weeks, I've regained a lot of motor control. Not only was work the only thing I could really do sometimes, but the people here understood the situation and helped me through it. A lot.

Anyway, I'm tying up a few loose ends as a personal courtesy. It's too late to go back to school this spring, so I'll have to find work somewhere else. Now that I have time and am capable, looks like I'll be sculpting again.

So overall, maybe this just means I have my life back.

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday, everyone! Halfway through my 20s.

I'm actually at work right now, but my boss is letting me take a short day. Got no real plans for once I get home, though. Not much of a party person, so I'll probably just get some sushi and stay up really late. Maybe get some more sculpting done!

Speaking of, just an update-

Right now I'm almost done with my part of a trade with :iconsandwich-anomaly:

I've also made a lot of progress on a new character. Swindle's little brother; Swagger.

Aaand I'm still occasionally working on that Vinyl Scratch figure.

Sorry if I haven't replied to any recent comments or anything, I've been preoccupied with a lot of RL things.

My job is stagnating, and I plan to ease my way out of it and go back to school this spring. But in the meantime, I'm starting work at a place where I'll be repairing and selling antiques! It's much closer to home, so no more 2 hour commutes.

But overall, I've really, really missed DA and making stuff, so I've been spending more of my evenings sculpting. I'm currently working on a Vinyl Scratch LED sculpture, I've finished with the head and I've made plenty of progress on the base. My goal is to sculpt and post something on DA before I reach the three-years-without-posting-something mark, so I've got plenty of time! Also making a Meta Knight sculpture. I got sm4sh for the 3DS so I've been inspired. Love that lil' badass.

Anyhow, I'll be more active in favouriting/commenting.

Still Alive!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday, I assumed people thought I was dead by now, haha.

Right, so it's been just over a year since I've been active here. I'm gunna get to responding to notes in a moment. I kept telling myself I'd wait until I had a new sculpture to submit before becoming active on dA again, but said sculpture (I'm making an LED Blaze) is well underway, so I figured I'd pop in and let you guys know I'm still alive and well, and will be active again soon.
