Update from last blog!!
So It's Been A While
What's new??? I'm sick again, in fact everyone in my house is sick!!!
I'm working on convincing this woman that I'm trying to have a relationship with, that she's incredible and totally worth my time... And yes I am hopelessly in love with her and totally and seriously whipped... I know poor me..... LOL!!!
There are some random people contacting me.... Which I'm cool with!! Trying to get a better job than crappy Wal-Mart (still sooooo embarrassing to admit that)...
Alyxis is doing incredible!!!!!!!! She is actually speaking with sentences, and is trying to count to 10!!! Loves Sesame Street, Blues Clues, Baby Einstiens and of course Elmo!!!
My mom's Austrailian Cattledog has decided that I'm HER human now.... So I think I have a dog now...... Alyxis loves all animals (We think she will be an vet!!).
And I am switching my major yet again.. I think for the last time though....
I'm going to try to paint with acrylics.. Why, because I think it looks cool. And I'm bored with just drawing with pen and ink.... But I promise to upload pics.. I got one bad ass project going right now... Maybe a pirate pinup girl later.....
BYE!!!!!!
