12:09 pm	tis a blah day.... It is pretty nice outside, and the day began okay, but for some reason I'm feeling kind of down today...and I'm not really sure why. I mean things are going okay, nothing bad has happened at work, I'm feeling okay health wise, and Munchie and I are getting along well. So what's my problem. I guess I need to go and do some exploring. I will definately need to go for a walk ( I kind of ate a whole bag of chocolate covered cranberries -__- ). I guess I should also start my new years diet.

7:55 pm	YAAAYYYYY!!!!! I guess that I have made it more than apparent that I am extremely happy ^^. I came home from work today to find that I now own a brand new computer. :D Munchie got her computer guy (Curtis, just to state that he does in fact have a name) to make one for me that includes all the things I need. Even though she's only paying half of it for me, it's still better than nothing. So, now that I've got a better connection to the internet, my iTunes, and soon Photoshop, I will be posting more entries in my journal and will be able to do more with my art.

4:24 pm	Slowly coming out of the fog.... I have been completely neglecting my LJ due to excessive working, drawing and watching anime....(all of which should be in the opposite order ^^)as well as continuing my search for another job. In the art...umm side of things, I have been doing a lot of stuff. I just finished a painting for the Jazz festival we have at church every year, it seemed to go over well ( it was for a raffel { did I spell that right?} and a few people told me that the had wanted to win my painting {to which I felt a little embarrased..}, I also did get a comission from one of the singers ^^). Other than that, I have been working on stuff for the convention, including one small set of 3 pictures and one set of 2, I was also thinking of some fanart to work on, of which I have 2 kind of sketched out already ^^ ( yay! working is fun...). I have also been drawing our a couple of comics too, not sure what I'll do with them though ^^. Umm...As I stated above, other than drawing I have been dilegently watching Monster (it's really good...so...umm..captivating?) and Beck: Mogolian Chop Squad, and I also should be getting Speed Grapher and .... some other stuff that I can't remember later on. And work is ...well it's work, nothing more nothing less. At least I can draw while I'm at work ( not that I really should do that, but what else am I going to do, watch people walk around the mall.-_-). Since I have finally made it known (to the very few people on my f-list) that I am indeed still among the living and breathing ^^ I will get going and finish helping munchie get ready for her little party on Sunday. Bye for now ^^ Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: whatever is downloaded on my cell phone ^^ (Comment on this)

5:15 pm	The best inspiration there is ^^.... It was a pretty quiet weekend, had the house to myself, with the exception of Onyx. I was able to get some new songs to put on my cell phone ( loves the new music :p), I kind of feel a little guilty with the fact that I can only download music and such when Munchie goes out of town, but I did get a lot of music that I was looking for and since then have sketched out a lot of fanart that I will work on for Otakon. I'm not sure how much of it I will be able to get done though. I was also able to check out a couple of anime series that I was kind of curious about. The one thing I have left to look for( not online ^^) is the cd that has a scan of two pictures that I drew a couple years back (the two that someone actually bought in the art gallery), I was thinking about re-drawing them with new backgrounds a such. I guess I have a lot of work to do before August ^^. It's funny that one of the first things I do is look for stuff that I know I will want from the dealers room ^^' ( so far the Thores Shibamoto artbook and the new Takeshi Obata illustrations book are at the top of my list ^^). I guess that way I have a good idea of how much money I will be spending ( I may actually get the Thores Shibamoto book before the con ^^...it might be a little less expensive), that way I won't go nuts until I know that I won't buy anymore stuff. Work is pretty good right now, I'm getting more hours for the security firewatch job, since a lot of people stopped showing up. Now I just need to keep up the hunt for a Full time job. Unfortunately the call center job I had interviewed for is no longer available. It was kind of dissapointing because I didn't get that job due to not being able to pay the $25 for the background check ( that sounds kind of funny, doesn't it ? ^^ ) but once I am able to do that, they told me that they will keep me in mind when the have other data enty, admin or call center job open. Well....I'm not sure what else there is to report.....oh yeah, Onyx brought a dead bird in the house on friday morning becasue he was pissed at munchie for going to Mass. for the weekend..... And...that's all. Bye-bye ^^ Current Mood: and inspired ^^ (Comment on this)

11:38 pm	La di da...^^ I am having another one of those extremely silly days. Nothing much has been happening, today I justumm...Idid some stuff around the house, then I went to work at 4:00 pm. I actually worked both jobs at once today ( kind of..)well anyway, I got double the hours for just one shift ( yay! money ^^) and I work the evening shift tomorrow night. At least I get time to work on a couple of pictures and do some layouts. ( as for what...that's a secret ^_^ tee hee).. Umm well, being that I don't have anything else to say, I will go now...and ....get some tea and do...something...else. Gudnite. ps..oh yeah here's a angel thingie....

3:15 am	hiiiissssssss.......> girrrrr....Why do people suck ass...? I can tell you why people suck ass, because they take things that don't belong to them. -_- I will now apologize for tha following rant. My day was going so good today, until someone decided to see my little purselet and take it. So after spending a half an hour walking from work , to my house and bake again, and then around the mall trying to think if I had left it at home by accident ( even though I had just come back from thorougly trashing my room searching for it). After that I decided to check with the mall security office to see if maybe, just mabye, I did leave it where I was working today and someone , out of the kindness of their heart, brought it in. but of course, I end upp only finding that the security office only had my stack of cards, id's and such which was taken out of my purselette and left in the children't play area in front of JC Penny. So I spent a good ten minutes of uncharacteristic cursing in public, followed by another ten minutes of angry glaring as I walked home to get something to eat ( seeing as I was starving and had planned to get a burger or something cheap from the food court when I realized that I didn't have any money because my purse was missing). That was followed by questioning by my grandmother, along with telling me how I should be more careful with my things ( to which I told her that I really appreciated her speech when I was already pissed ...heh..she didn't like that much ), and that was followed by the next three hours of wishing (through constant silent cursing and thoughts of bodily harm) that the person(or persons) who took my purselette will either choke to death on whatever food they by with the last 67.00 that i had, and/or get beat to death by someone who wants to steal MY purselette from them ( oh ..did I forget to mention that it was a dooney and burke purse that was given to me as a christmas present from my mother, also the first piece of designer clothing that I have ever owned -__- ..and probably will ever have owned). As of this moment I have calmed down, but I am still inwardly hoping that whoever stole my stuff does die, get badly maimed, beaten, burned...umm what have I forgotten....well whatever horrible, agonizing, torturous and highly painful things will happen to them.. Well, now that I'm done ranting, I hope that everyone had a good day ^_^ Current Mood: and yet currently peaceful (Comment on this)

10:07 pm	Is it too late for spring cleaning? Well, this week was okay. I've been working about ever day, some with double shifts, but it will all be worth it by the time otakon comes around (Yaaayyy money ^^). I have even had a sudden rush of artistic inspiration. I can now finish up on some long holding projects. Other than that, I ...well Munchie and I have been trying to have a yard sale to get rid of some of our monumentus junk (sorry about the bad spelling...again ). I was going to call around to see if anyone else would like to join us, but then it turns out that Munchie has to go out of town that weekend. Although, our church will be having a sale that same weekend but I don't really want to go by myself. I guess that just means that I will be holding on to my junk for yet another year. Nothing else significant is happening here...so there isn't much else for me to think of. Current Mood: undecisive (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:28 am	I hate mechanical pencils...-_- It's funny how one of the things you use most can become the bane of your existence. >< I like to use mechanical pencils for drawing, but I'm such a klutz that I drop them all the time and they tend to not work correctly afterwards. Then when I buy a new one I instantly loose it..-_- I wish I could just buy a pack of like 12 from staples, but no I have to get the expensive ones from the art store....*duh to solve your problem ...DON'T DROP YOU PENCIL...(doofus )* Well, anyway on a ..umm somewhat positive note, I had a job interview (just for yet another retail job..*sigh*) at DSW Shoes. I had to go to the store in Bethesda for the interview, which is next to Richard Montgomery High, and when I was waiting for the bus one of the students from the school (school had just let out.) saw me drawing and gave me a compliment and then asked me if I was a student at their school. *Sigh* I was mistaken for a high school student once again...should I be happy about that? Yet another change in topic, I, with encouragement from a friend, have decided to start a movie review blog, but I may review some books and dvd's and manga and such...pretty much whatever I have seen or read recently..( yay fun ^^). My one problem right at the moment is that I have no idea how to start a new blog..another outcome of my lack of technological experience ^^' *dir*. Soooo...if anyone has some advice or info I will definately be glad to hear it. ^^ With that said, I am going to take some tylenol and a nap, the constant throbing of the left side of my head is somewhat annoying. -_- Current Mood: bouncy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:14 pm	for the love of soup...; ) Today was another day, it was a good day...yet another day. I guess there isn't too much to say... right now I'm just typing this while sipping on one of those Soup at hand ..um things. I did do some walking around, and went ...or tried to go shoppping for some spring/summer clothes. I din't find anything of course, but I did find a really cute bathing suit at Macy's...which I can't afford right now. (but it will be mine....^_- ) ..Ummm...ohh yeah, I did make a list of stuff I'm gonna make for the cookout. I already know that I have to make a yogurt pie (probably 2) and chicken salad...I was also thinking of getting a slab of ribs from the barbacue place in dc...if I can find it...and Of Course there will be drinks......and I think Laron's bringing hamburgers...(have to remember to put that on the list too ^^). Other than that I'm not sure what or if anyone else if bringing anything...but that's okay either way. Also, I finished watching Paradise Kiss, it was pretty good. The school festival scene could have been better, but it was still cool to see Ai Yazawa's work animated.^^ I'm gonna have to find a Tommy Febuary cd later on too...the opening theme song was kinda catchy ^^ Well, that's all for now, I'm gonna go eat some pineapple and go to bed. ^^ Current Mood: giddy (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:40 am	. . . . . . . . . . . Well, today was alright as just another day. I have finally finished with jury duty,and ahve got another isp set up on my computer, so I can now get online again. Other than that, there isn't mucho else going on. I have a few job oppurtunities to check up on, and a doctorsappointment in the afternoon(still not sure why my ankles keep swelling up so I'm gonna go get that checked out. I may go to the Sakura Matsuri festival downtown and meet up with some of the people from that go club near my house. Then I guess I will try to get some drawing done...haven't been doing that for a while, so I should try to get out of my slump. I was thinking about having a small cookout or something (weather permitting of course) around that 23 when munchie goes out of town. But I'm not sure if anyone would come, and I wouldn't want to buy up a bunch of stuff just to have no one show up. Well, that's enough, have to get up early tomorrow.

8:58 pm	-_- ...^%8$^#%#$9^*(&79&*%^&$%@$ Leigh is rather unhappy. I feel like I'm being left out by everyone, I try and try to keep in touch and try to get together and nothing works for anyone. So I just end up doing things by myself like I always do. -_- It pisses me off to no ends but I feel like I shouldn't say anything because then everyone will hate me ( I guess the fact that my own father get upset with me whe I try to assert any kind of negative thoughts that have to deal with him). But I guess this is what I go to therapy for. The other thing that makes me mad is that I don't know what to do about it, and that I start to think things like "I wonder if I kill myself will anyone other than my family care" or " I feel like I don't have any friends at all", but in reality I'm sure people that I know will care and that I do have some friends. I would just like to keep a connection with those that I can call friends, so that once in a while I can look forward to seeing them. I'm gonna stop here now because I'm started to get depressed I have too much stuff to do. Current Mood: and shitty (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:12 pm	In need of a change..... It's kind of weird, I am having this overwhelming need to make a bunch of extravagant changes in my life. I wonder if it's some kind of pre-mid-life crisis or something. For the last month I have wanted to change my hair, my room, my furnature....and god know what else. I have to go and get some new glasses next month or so..but I was thinking if I should get contacts instead. Well, in any case I thought that I would use the summer as my time to makes some of these changes. I do plan to get my hair done, probably will get a relaxer and cut it short like I used to have it. As well as get some new summer clothes ( I'm kind of in need of some anyway...so I guess that works out okay..^^). Unfortunately I can't do much about the furnature situation right at the moment, but that's okay...for now. On a lighter and not so weird..note, I got to talk to my step-brother yesterday for the first time in about 10 years. It was great, we talked about old times and I told him about what I've been up to for that last few years and stuff. It was really good to hear his voice, and I'm happy that he's finally home. ^^ I can't wait to actually see him, it'll be great. Well, I have to go an run some errands, so bye for now. ^^ Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: anything happy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:35 pm	I was too f^%&(&$%&^(* cold today....-_- I had a job interview today in silver spring (only about 10 minutes away from my house), and I had a pretty good idea of where the building was. I've lived around here long enough to know where I need to go. But instead of being in the interview at 4 o'clock this afternoon, I was walking around the same block for then next hour trying to find it. I also had decided, due to a lapse of logic, not to take my gloves and scarf with me because I thought that I would not be outside long enough to need them. (dir -_-) This was clearly not the case. Anyway, I end up walking around the same block on Georgia ave, walking past the same buildings many times. I also went into about 5 places to ask people for directions, of which I got none. So I start to get a little bit fustrated, because I'm standing in front of 8661 georgia ave. (my interview is at 8665 georgia ave. ) and the only thing next to it is a building with a big blue tarp covering the whole front of the building. At about 4:45 I get tired and look for a phonebook and pay phone. I double check that name of the company as well as the address and phone number. Then I end up at the AFI theater using their curtiousy phone to call Mr. Mann, then munchie. After about another 20 minutes I decide to go back home. When I get home I start to call Mr. Mann again to leave him a message about rescheduling the interview, an then hear that I have a voicemail. I check my messages in which is a call from Mr. Mann telling me that there was an unexpected incident with getting into the building. In the end it turns out that the building with the blue tarp(and no known number) was where I was supposed to go. So after I talk to Mr. Mann about it (it was funny he apologized at least 4 times ), we rescheduled the interview for tomorrow at 2. Current Mood: and cold (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:05 pm	It's too early for spring cleaning ...-_- I spent almost all of this weekend rearanging my room(more so yesterday and today), it's kind of funny cuz I had just talked with my therapist about how I have a need to change things every so often (and how it bugs me when I can't..). I'll have to tell him that I did it again this weekend. Hopefully I will be done completely by tomorrow ( done with the heavy moving...now time for the heavy cleaning ..-_- * leigh hates heavy cleaning cuz leigh has too much stuff..*) then I can work some more on job hunting. Job Hunting is starting to work in a more postive direction.. now I just have to make sure I keep focused on it and follow through with the applications I send out. I really need to make sure that I keep searching even if I don't get a reply back from the places that I applied to .. at least not right away. I want to get out of the habit of getting depressed and spending the next week doing nothing. So, here's to hoping.. I guess I should get back to cleaning so I have less to do tomorrow. ^^ Current Mood: energetic Current Music: jem(not the cartoon)^^' (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:28 am	Just passing the time by.....with what? Well, here I am again....after a while ^^' I've been kind of neglecting(is that spelled right?) my journal..*bad leigh..* But I have been doing more job hunting so I guess it balances out. I had a job interview today at a coffee house in georgetown. It was a pretty nice place, very low key and friendly. The owner was really nice, and seems very accomedating( I know that isn't spelled right -_-), and I think that the interview went well...except I kind of forgot to ask about how much they pay. I hope it isn't too low because I really would like to work there. After that I did some more job seaching at the Montgomery works office at the mall, then I came home and sent out some resumes. So now I am just checking my email and looking for some stuff online. I had an old story idea that kind of came up from the far recesses of my very very strange mind. So I was seaching for stuff about Elementals...and Runes and metals and minerals ..and animal daemons. I came across a quiz that I thought I would try, here are the results. Your WOLF DAEMON shows that you are solitary, ferocious, and often intimidating, but not without your sufficient loyalty and poise. People tend to misunderstand you, but you prefer your own company, anyway. What Animal Would Your Daemon Settle As? brought to you by Quizilla I don't know if that sounds like me though... Maybe I'll find some more stuff on these subjects( now I just have to read what I printed out at some point in time.). But I have to make sure that I keep focused on what I'm working on now..which I will. Then I can work on something new. Since I think that I'm starting to ramble on right now so I'm going to fo and finish up searching and go to bed. Current Mood: bouncy (Comment on this)

2:16 am	A most fun filled day ^^ Today I spent in downtown dc, which I haven't done in quite a while. First I went to get some money (can't go to dc without money), then I went to georgetown and walked around a bit, went to dean and deluca's and walked all the way to the end of ..... what ever street all the shops are on. Then I walked back and had some sushi and then went back to the metro station. After that I went to Utretch (needed a new pencil) and from there I walked to chinatown. I had started out a little late in the afternoon, so by then it was about 3:00. Well, anyway, I wasn't sure what to do next, so when I came up to the MCI Center I decided to walk around a bit more to see all the neew shops and such around there (I found out where that neew bowling alley that's downtown is, now I just have to let mom know so that we can plan to go there. ^^). After that I still had a lot of time before I had to go to the Air and Space Museum. Sooooo, I went to see a movie (something which I don't think I will do again, seeing one movie before you go to see another movie is not admireable {?...sorry everyone...leigh has a part of her brain that demolishes her ability to spell correctly}), the earliest thing showing was Chronicles of Narnia....so I saw it ..again (just as good the second time around ^^). When that was over it was about time for me to go see Harry Potter, so I get back on the train (I had thought about walking there...but didn't think there was enough time) and went to the museaum..?.. In order to keep this entry from getting too long...and to keep myself from rambling...?..., I'll just say that if anyone thinks about going to see Harry Potter in IMAX I highly suggest it. It made it seem like I was seeing the movie for the first time, which ..again was just as good t he second time around. Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: any and all of the Narnia soundtrack....

1:35 am	MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!! I hope that everyone enjoys their day. I wish I could see some of my friends today after I come home from Church. But I will definately make an effort to go and visit with everyone very soon. My uncle Dion called(about 20 minutes before midnight, claiming he had to say Merry christmas again at 12:00, and we had a short chat.) I told him that I would like to visit him in Texas this year, I haven't been over there in sooooo long. Mom and Michael are in Richmond, visiting with his mother. I think that Chris is with his dad...and my dad is ..umm..I guess he's at home. As for this week I will go to see my godmother on Monday, and then I will try to see everyone else ^^(that is if I have a bit of money by then ). Well, I guess I should go back to sleep so that I can get up early to make breakfast and then go to church. MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE (smell my face ... ^^{sorry...listening to dc101 right now and couldn't resist}) (Comment on this)

1:42 am	It's begining to feel a lot like Christmas..... not really.. Well, ... it's just one more day until Christmas. There's not much for me to say to that, no "and it's going to be great!" , no " I going to do blah and blah, and so and so is coming over". It feels to me like it's going to be just another day. I just thought about it, but my first Christmas at SCAD wasn't very noteable either (with the exception of being awaken by the police cuz mom hadn't heard from me in a while), and it just seemed like any other day. Maybe it's because I have nothing to look forward to that will be an altering change in my life, nothing not living here with munchie, and not having to feel like I'm burdening my family and friends. Hopefully once I can change that all of my feelings of blahness towards christmas will go away. I hope I can change that before it starts to affect birthdays too (I like birthdays much better ^^). Or maybe it's all in my head and just need to get off my ass and do something about it. Maybe that will be one of my new years resolutions, ...if I make any.
