Fuck this.

Gone to dogdogdogdog.

Some things just don't change.
These two need no introductions.

Happy 20th, me.

Many people have told me that, of all of the ages that have no significance, 20 is the worst. I'm not sure, though - it's shaping up to be an interesting year, at the very least.

I'm mostly posting this because I wanted to give early birthday wishes to Maddie, who is 16 this year. We don't talk much, I'm not sure we really even relate anymore, and I think you've long since given up looking up to me, or wanting to be like me. I want to say that I've watched you grow into this amazing, articulate, sophisticated young woman... and then, I realize that you have always been that. I love you, and I'm so very proud of you, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday and a wonderful year.

enigmatic bullshit

It's contagious, you see. Someone asked me about you today, and I didn't want to answer them. So I smiled, and I shook my head, and I gave them a look that made them feel small.

A not-so-epic tale using stick figures because I am lazy and frustrated with myself.

Once upon a time, there was a dog and a cat. They were the best of friends. Truth be told, they drove eachother crazy, but they loved eachother.

Once upon the same time, there was another dog and another cat. They were the best of friends. Truth be told, they drove eachother crazy, but they loved eachother.

One day, when the dogs were out walking alone, they met eachother. "Let's be friends," said one dog, and they were. They played together for many days, and in the end, truth be told, they drove eachother crazy, but they loved eachother.

And so the dogs introduced their cat friends to eachother, and their cat friends got along famously. Truth be told, they drove eachother crazy, but they loved eachother.

And the two cats went on living their lives, while the two dogs spent most of their time at home being tortured artists and feeling sorry for themselves, and mostly just wondering why dogs are so stupid.

What is the moral of this story?

I feel guilty when I say I want you to be here, when I ask you to be here,
but I just can't help it - I do want you here, and I'm not the only one.

Sun, 23 Jan 2005 06:20:30 GMT

Don't you feel like you're there?

Sun, 23 Jan 2005 01:29:53 GMT

NEVER FORGET

It's a beautiful day, and definitely spring - sunny and windy.

Sun, 23 Jan 2005 01:20:29 GMT

A revisit of the other night's park hijinks.

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 21:36:17 GMT

I was groggy when I woke up from my afternoon nap and shambled into the bathroom, and I had to laugh when I saw myself in the mirror.

Mostly, though, I'm just a moron.

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 18:28:35 GMT

You're a year old, now, buddy. I know you've grown into a handsome dog - you were in August, when I last saw you. You were my handsome dog.

I hope you know I miss you, and that I never wanted to give you up...

On a completely different subject, a big thank you to Sie for tolerating/entertaining my dumbass self this morning. I enjoyed it. :)

I admit it, I love waking up to a phone call from Shaun or Mike. It just seems to get everything rolling properly, which is why I've been taking my cell phone up into the loft with me lately. Well, since my cell is off, I decided I was going to leave the house phone plugged in instead of doing that in case anyone called, and I went to sleep. Somehow, I managed to forget that I'm just a complete fucking moron when I'm woken up unexpectedly and, lo and behold, the phone rang at 10 am. Not realizing what I was doing, I scrabbled halfway down the ladder... and fell down the other halfway. I bashed my leg against something and totally got to the phone before the voicemail picked up.

It was a telemarketer, and they didn't even want to talk to me.

That is not my favorite way to start the morning, and I'm just going to leave the damn thing unplugged from now on.

Strangely enough, I feel better on 5 hours of sleep than I usually do.

Just to annoy everyone who has both of us friended, oekaki collab with Alisha. She did the lineart and didn't feel like coloring it.

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 07:13:00 GMT

This is what I fear will have to leave behind very soon, now.

I will be coming back.

Can't you see that you're missing?

Tue, 18 Jan 2005 15:50:10 GMT

Hello, 9 AM. It's been months since I saw you, why am I awake to see you today?

I've been having this overwhelming desire to read lately, and so I've decided I'm going to do that. I've been leaving my copy of 'Shardik' around my apartment so that I read it, and I have a couple of other things that I want to re-read ('Heart of Darkness', 'Wuthering Heights', 'Siddartha', 'The Plague Dogs' [Maddie, did I send my copy of this to you?], 'As I Lay Dying', mostly Y12/AP English stuff.), but I also wanted to get a few recommendations from ya'll - any takers?

(I originally typed 'ya'll' there, and then realized how silly it looks. I considered taking it out, but I say it a lot in my speech, and I realized I'm not foolin' anyone.)

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 10:37:51 GMT

I wanted to be the first to tell you 'Happy Birthday', but that would've been silly - it doesn't count until you wake up. Birthdays are silly, but I like marking their passing. Here's to another year with you.

You haven't seen the sky until you've been to the desert - I stand behind that 100%. I visited the neighborhood I used to live in today, walked through the places I used to play eight years ago. They were mostly empty lots, then, and they still are. Empty lots full of trash and broken glass, but I don't think it ever really mattered much - it just made it all a little more interesting. I found the dead tree I used to hide my treasures in, and walked along the irrigation ditch where I used to swim. None of the businesses that I remember are still there, they've all been torn down to put up Burger Kings and grocery stores, or converted into check cashing places... but all of the trees I used to climb were there. It was a warm feeling, kind of like going home.

A nameless little friend who has become very dear to me. She is small parts of every other character I've had... and some that have influenced me. I like her.

Early morning concept sketches, and something to show her colorings.

Sun, 09 Jan 2005 22:05:42 GMT

My brother Josh has been dropping hints about how many postings there are for graphic and web design positions in Seattle. I'm pretty sure he thinks I should move since I broke up with Sergey (it's logical, I suppose - technically nothing to keep me here), but I would miss the desert. I would do it, though, if everything I loved wasn't here and in the opposite direction...

I would enjoy it, though. I've always wanted to live in a larger city for at least a short period of time. There's something about the 'big city' lifestyle that always appealed to me - the romanticized image I have is awesome, and I think you have to live there to get the full effect. And the rain, of course. The rain, and the sushi.

Sun, 09 Jan 2005 11:07:18 GMT

It was just a typical New Mexican day, with typical New Mexican skies. When I was just 12, the Organ Mountains stole my heart - I haven't had it back since. I wish that even one of these pictures did the desert I love so much a little justice...

Sun, 09 Jan 2005 11:02:45 GMT

Happy 100k miles, Camry. I remember rolling over to 80k with you - we've been places together, you and I.

I think there shall be a custody dispute over this cat, I adore him so. He watches me through the window when I go over there to do my laundry, and helps me fold my socks.

Fri, 07 Jan 2005 04:26:00 GMT

Well, just in the interest of Caleb not punching me in the face next time I see him (probably tonight), I did this.

THREE NAMES YOU GO BY:
1. Sara
2. Sawah (Alisha calls me this.)
3. Sare (Alisha used to call me this, now Marc calls me this.)

THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE HAD:
1. Are we talking, like, actual screen names? Or things we've gone by? My first screen name was AraylaWulf (went by Arayla),
2. I think the next major one after that was GreyTail99 or KattWulf (went by Greytail),
3. and it's currently commukitty. I go by... Sara, or Volk.

1. 100% American mutt.
2. Okay, my grandfather is mostly German,
3. but that doesn't make me German.

THREE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU:
1. The crazies (they run in my family).
2. Slugs. Perhaps not fear, but extreme disgust since I was a little kid. The only thing that'll get a reaction out of me, really.
3. Not living every day of my life to the fullest extent, not having the people I love fully aware of how I feel.

THREE OF YOUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS:
1. Uh... water?
2. Sleep?
3. The people I cherish.

THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW:
1. A blue t-shirt with glow in the dark stars & dancing animals from the camp I worked at,
2. a black hooded sweatshirt and cargo pants. Come to think of it,
3. I probably look like I should be sitting in a cardboard box somewhere, but I probably always look like that.

THREE NEW THINGS YOU WANT TO TRY IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS
1. Since I make a point of trying everything that isn't reckless,
2. I will try (at least once) everything that is presented to me.
3. Unless it involves slugs.

1. Complete unity,
2. perfect trust,
3. absolute honesty.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

3. Today was not the best day of my life.

THREE PHYSICAL THINGS ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX THAT APPEAL TO YOU:
1. If I must choose, an honest face,
2. a genuine look in their eyes,
3. and I have a thing for hands.

THREE THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T DO:
1. Well, I can't fly,
2. or wiggle my ears,
3. or be wrong. HAHAHA.

THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES:
1. Painting, drawing if I can't do that.
2. Driving around with my windows down, stereo up, and singing at the top of my lungs. I suppose that's shouting.
3. Making an ass of myself is not a hobby, but I do it a lot. As far as hobbies go, I do rather enjoy riding.

3 THINGS YOU WANT TO DO REALLY BADLY RIGHT NOW:
1. I'm just going to
2. not answer this.
3. I'll make an ass of myself if I do.

THREE CAREERS YOU'RE CONSIDERING:
1. I've considered Folklore Studies to follow my obsession with werewolves,
2. and can't really shove aside the Veterinarian thing from when I was younger,
3. but I still think that I would like to teach High School art most of all.

THREE PLACES YOU WANT TO GO ON VACATION:
1. I enjoy Virginia Beach,
2. but I have always wanted to see Wales,
3. and I promised Alisha once upon a time that we would go to Africa together.

THREE KID'S NAMES

3. and Piotr.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
1. I would like to see many different places,

3. but I mostly just want to live before I die.

THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO TAKE THIS QUIZ NOW OR DIE PAINFULLY
1. Nobody. I really despise these things,
2. and I only took it because it was IMPOSED upon me.
3. Thanks a lot, Caleb.

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 22:26:40 GMT

I have nothing to say. I am very happy, no complaints, no stories to tell.

Have a sketch.

Oh, and, uh, if you want a Wolf Tracks account, let me know.
