What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist/"friending me"? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head?

Anon on/comments screened/curiosity killed the cat.

going to be writing the first draft of my speech for public speaking and need something to come back to when i rage at my inability to form words.

Rest in peace, Shannon. I love you, I hope you know how much all of us loved you. I'm going to miss you so much. I'm trying to think of anything, anything to say. But I can't form words. You were very loved, you were strong, you were such an amazing person. I'm trying not to hate life right now for taking you away from us, from your family, your loved ones ... I can't think there is any reason, but hopefully there is because I can't think life is that unfair.

I am so glad we're doing this before Halloween because I won't have net access on Halloween. ALSO, I LIKE CREATIVE DARES.

trick or treat?

01) Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

02) Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

03) Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

04) List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection, being sure not to direct-link!

my candy~

so I tried doing this last June. got a lot of interest, made the post, got a lot of interest still but nothing concrete, ending up doing nothing/making no money. So I guess I thought I'd try it again? I thought it was kind of a deal :"> and once I get finished with my last colored commission I'll start work on these so that's next week!

deal:

01. $10 for an 8x12 300 DPI [that's print-sized] black and white line art of whatever you want. Fan art, OCs, anything but anthro or porn or ... anthroporn. And if you don't think I know the fandom, ask. Of course, for OCs, I'm going to need references.
02. $1 for each additional character after the first. Backgrounds aren't going to be an option atm.
03. I can color it if you want, but that'll cost extra and isn't really the point of this, so! None of it will be toned or shaded so it can be colored.

I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL. My paypal address is industrial.age@gmail.com. Please include in your payment your name/LJ name/whatever I can identify you by. PLEASE do not send the payment until I confirm your commission. I'll just reply to your comment, which is screened!

( examples of my black and white line art )

<b>Name</b>: NAME HERE <b>Email address</b>: EMAIL ADDY HERE <b>Your commission</b>: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF COMMISSION HERE + REFS IF NEEDED <b>Anything else?</b>: ANYTHING ELSE?

Also, here's the deal and it's not to make anyone feel they have to do this or whatever, but for my sake, if I don't get enough to justify doing the project, I'm probably not? Which is why I want to confirm commishes before I accept payments. Takes longer, but I want to make sure we're all on the same page. It closes on the 11th of this month, one week from now. Make your decision before then, tho, please! :D :D :D

I look forward to working with you guys ... hopefully!

i'll save the personal stuff for another entry.
