SkylerFarrier

There's been times I felt like it, and times I wished I was. DeviantArt is full of some bad memories for me, and I'm considering my recovery as still shaky.
But hey! It has now been 15 months since I started RPing the Animated version of Starscream on Tumblr, and I'm almost up to 300 followers most of whom just sit and watch but ilu guys all the same, which utterly baffles me how I got so many.
Did you know it's only been 3 years since I found out what "Role Play" was? Huge mind frag, I know.
And 5 years since I put any significant effort into writing.
I've held down a job for a full year, defying all statistics for people sharing only one of my mental disorders. Toss the other two in and... I try to remind myself of this when I am down.
The last two years I've taken part-time classes, and so I have two more years to go. I'm really looking forward to this, as those in my major-year will have graduated, and I will be in a new batch of students.

Kittens have been born and cats have died, and my lovely lady [who's trying to get in my lap right now, she doesn't usually do that] had developed an aversion to hard food. She's spoiled rotten now, because it has to be a very specific brand and type. It has to be the pate', just because she had problems chewing the shreds/morsels, but she then wants Fancy Feast, and it should have cheese in it, preferentially the seafood & cheese, but chicken & cheese is the best thing ever. So I get woken up at random hours by an extremely affectionate queen. She knows how to get me out of bed and will lead me the whole way. "Okay, see? You sits up. Then you get these things off of you," *she pulls the blankets away* "and now... hey! You're not supposed to be lying back down! I'm gonna jump on you just because," and so on.

Oh, yeah. If someone wants a link to the blog, send me a message. I've put my fanfic on hold due to getting to know the character better, and have actually started rewriting the first few chapters ugh, does anyone enjoy looking at their very beginnings of writing? but that will take some doing.

The literally-over-10k Deviations and 2.5k Journals is very daunting, but I might just plain ignore those. No sense in needlessly stressing myself out.

My friends and family have been very supportive and it's rather scary to think of where I would be without that safety net. I know that eventually I will have to brave the tightrope-walk by myself, but that will come when I am ready. ^{holycrap I forgot all the emotes and plz-accounts I used to use}

Edit: Down to 5.1k deviations!
Trimmed out some of my Watches, like deleting old contacts from a phone is said to help with depression, aid in the "letting go" of people.

For crying out loud, I'm tired of seeing my journal portal filled with "I heard they're trying to bring back SOPA" and everyone flipping out about how we're all doomed.
Do the research, people. This is why I am losing faith in humanity.
And why I've pretty much migrated to a specific subset of the TF RP fandom on Tumblr. Less ass-hattery and it's easier to spread the "Nope, false alarm" message.

As for myself, writing muse is returning as my emotional stability reaches normal... and I'm faced with juggling part-time classes with a part-time job. College is 20 minutes north of me, and the job is 20 minutes south.
I'm hoping I can handle that without freaking out, but it means my chance to write/do anything on the internet drastically diminishes, unless I purchase the laptop I'd been considering.
Wish me luck as my family works on remodeling the floor.

Check the journal for more information.
The deviant also holds other contests and giveaways. I suggest you check it out.






Finals week starts this coming week. As long as I can pull [bare minimum] 60% on the final, I don't have to retake the one class.
Once that's over...I'll feel so free. Still have a "May Term" to do, but those generally aren't too difficult.
Then it's summer and I've already got two different interviews for a job then.
If I get the library job, I will be so happy.
And then I can work on fics/drabbles without feeling so guilty for not doing homework.

The first 20 people to comment on this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like the most from their gallery on the list.
If you comment, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger (me!) on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!
