I've stopped moping about Rune and got a new betta, granted this one is kind of similar. He is black, peachy-yellow, and blue. He's not as spazzy as Rune and seems to enjoy chilling out in his new tank. I'm thinking about getting him a little silk plant so he can play hide and seek. Oh, his name is Melito, which is apparently Greek for "sugary sweet; pleasant". Melito seems to have a healed wound from probably a betta fight, or at least I hope so. I'd cry if it was actually some sort of parasite, but it shouldn't be, because my uncle probably wouldn't have taken it if it was. He's got a gorgeous blue tint on his black scales. I'll get a picture up, though he probably looks 100% lovelier in the sunlight, which is pretty much gone for the day.

I know he's just a fish but...but I loved him. I messed up. I messed up so bad. I apparently have a bad sense of hot and cold with my hands but I didn't think of that until now, when my mother said the water was boiling hot and I said the water was only warm...I just wanted to change his water because it was ice cold...but I lost him. I'm so sorry...I failed him....I feel terrible. Rune never did anything wrong and I royally messed up. He's gone now and I feel extremely terrible. I'm at a loss of what to do with myself. My first betta died when I was too young and did not care enough for my Nick....now Rune has died because I cared too much for him....augh. I can't do anything right.

I am very upset with myself....I've learned for my mistake but I'm conflicted if I should....get another one. Part of me thinks I am the reincarnation of Death, the other part of me wants to give this another try...I never meant for this.

Augh. Someone stab me.

I finally got my betta and decided to name him Rune. Pictures of him are in my gallery. His massive tank is sitting on my messy art desk, lol.

Anyways! To the important thing! *Kitsunia is open for commissions and is selling her stuff to raise money for her dog. If you have any spare change laying around, you could get a picture drawn~! Sounds good, don't it? Find out more at her journal: [link]

I hope everyone is doing fine!

I'm sure you've all noticed how inactive I've been with uploading things, hahaha. For those who don't know, I've been constantly sick these past months and I don't know why. No matter how much sleep I get, I'm always tired and I don't know why. I'm not even sure how I have a cough and sore throat now. I'm on spring break at least, so I might have enough time to recover from all this. =_=;;

In happier news, I'm going to get a betta fish one of these days! For those who don't know, I'm not allowed to have pets in the house that are pricey, require help from my parents, loud, need a lot of care, or have to move around a lot. So, the only option that really leaves me with is a plant or a fish, and since my uncle owns a fish store, why not?

Okay. So here's the part where I need some advice. There are some pieces of mine that mean a lot to me and I want to post them up, BUT I have this paranoia that people might steal them. Is it justified that I feel so strongly about these pieces? I suppose I could stamp that gigantic copyright stamp on them....but I don't know, I don't want to ruin the quality either. So, any and all advice would be appreciated!

Have a nice day! <3

I feel like I'm getting old. Old are aching and I'm getting sick again. I went to the dentist recently and as it turns out, I'll have to get my wisdom teeth removed soon. As much as I dread it, I don't want the nerves in my lower face to get damaged. =_=

In other news, I have to start gather stuff together to send into the local art college for evaluation. I don't want to hold my hopes too high but...I know this will work. It's got it. Everyone's supporting, believing, and encouraging me. I know I can do this. I just need to work on some pieces now...

Oh. If anyone is over at Storm-Artists. Come hit me up! [link]

To whom ever reads this, tell me what's going on in your life. How are feeling? What are you doing? Any future plans?
