About 1.5 months…

In a month and a half, I am going to have a visitor come and stay with me for a week, and I am so excited.  Yes, this would be “him”…

 

We are talking pretty much daily, and we are getting on very well so far.  Nothing to complain about really… Only complaint I have is he is far too nice to me for what I am used to.  He’s an awesome artist, a fantastic conversationalist, has a rip-roariously funny and quick wit, so sweet, cares about me a lot, and all of these things are so opposite what I am used to getting treated to and like, it’s going to take some real getting used to.  However, he is also patient, and that is what I need mostly right now.

 

He also accepts and loves me for what I am RIGHT NOW, and supports *ME* making the changes I want to make as long as I am the one who wants them.

 

OK, so it still isn’t time to announce who this uber amazing guy is, I still want some time with him on my own so we can sort out on our own level what kind of relationship this is really going to be.

 

If it doesn’t work out, it is going to be a terrible shame and a horrendous waste as I feel and he states to me on a regular basis.  Only time will tell.

 

But the real point of this pointless post is to announce that he called me today, as we tend to do very regularly, and that is when it hit me.  As of today, we only have about a month and a half.  That means I have to get my costume ready in a rush.  I knew I was in a hurry, but in July it felt forever away.  It still feels like it will never get here, but I realize it’s only about 50 days, so I have to get cracking…

 

Probably going to be silent until I post some pics of us (if I get brave enough).

 

Take care of yourselves, and each other…

Disappointment…

Well it has been determined that the old computer isn’t even worth the p-p-p-p-p-p-parts to make the Steampunk Cintiq.  It was a good thing I got my new one when I did.  But a pain at the same time… as I wasn’t really ready yet.

Finding my way around on this computer has proven both an exercise in adventure and discovery as well as frustration.  It is truly amazing to me that someone can get so used to things being a “certain way” even down to where your fingers fall for the keyboard.  But I am slo-o-o-owly finding the differences and making note of them for future reference.

On a quick sidenote, I can’t wait until October comes… I just know EVERY ONE wanted to know that… LOL

Well, I’m only writing here out of sheer boredom and so I will end it and go play a game or draw a picture or sculpt something or do something productive now…

Godspeed everyone!

Moi! <3

New Beginnings

I am very excited for several reasons.  A couple days ago I got myself a necessary new computer which does several things for me.  First of all, I can stop hobbling along on my old computer which kept crashing and I was loosing files and projects on a regular basis.  It also allows me to get into creating that Steampunk Cintiq Laptop I have commented about earlier.  It also allows me to work much more smoothly, as I don’t have to battle with whether it is going to boot and stay running and keep connected.  I can close the monitor, which will allow me to keep it much cleaner and safer, and in finality (that I can think of on the spur of the moment) it has all it’s keys (WOOO HOOOO!)

What did I get?  I got a Dell Inspiron 1545.  It’s got a 250 GB Hard Drive, a 1.9 GHz 800 MHz FSB 1 MB cache Intel Celeron Dual Core T3000 processor, a 3 GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM which is expandable to 4 GB, CD/DVD Writer (handles DVD +/- RW), a 10/100 mbps Ethernet and Wireless 802.11 b/g modem, a 15.6 inch glossy High Def widescreen format monitor with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD integrated graphics, 7-1 Media card reader, 3 USB 2.0 ports, VGA Video Output, Express Card 34mm slot as well as some other minor “bonuses”.  I am currently running Vista, but will be upgraded to Windows 7 when it is released in late October.  It’s pink, which wasn’t my first preference, but hey, when I am staring at the screen working on a digital painting or talking with my  friends and “boyfriend”, or working at my job, the case color is not so obvious, and on top of that, there isn’t a risk of confusing my computer for his and vice versa now.  LOL

Oh, you didn’t know I have a “boyfriend”?  Why are you writing that in quotes you ask?  Well, I do love him with all my heart and adore him immensely, but we are taking things a bit slowly for protection of our own feelings and those of our friends until we make some sort of decision down the road.  Yes, I am interested in him, and I love being around him, we tell each other we love each other, it’s as real and as fabulous as anything I have ever felt – no it is better than anything I have ever felt, but there are many other people to consider besides our individual selves.  Hopefully (not that we are putting a decision deadline on it) we will know something more in a couple months or so, as we are planning an extended period together, and we will learn if it is real attraction, just infatuation, or just lust. LOL.  I’m hoping it’s really real as I really could see myself being in love with him.

Who is he?  Well, because not everyone knows about us yet, I am choosing to keep you temporarily in the dark, but as soon as we know what to announce, we will announce it and shine light on everyone around us happily.

Other new beginnings?  Well the relationship was the main additional one, but there is also my attempts to get some work going with my “Socking Stuffers” to go to shows and fairs with.  You can see a few on my DA account at http://weavingmagic.deviantart.com

Other new beginnings?  I have been working on some (in my opinion) very nice digital paintings but considering translating them (or some of them) into weavings.
