GANG journal: - [link]



I know getting pointless journal one after another is a pain in the ass.

On my page, we're having a contest, and honestly, around 6 people have voted, and it's rediculously tied.

So if you'd be so very very kind to go to that journal [link] and send that club a note with your vote, you'll be my super-pal.



Other then that, i'm just brimming with angst. I really don't want to dump it all on you guys here, because you don't deserve that sort of shit on your minds too. Long story short, i had a really really really really terrible 4th of july and fought with my mom without resolution and had to keep my drunken dad from tipping his cart o' crap onto a stroller.... and i just... hm. It just hasn't been a good day. I've cried more then I care to mention, and don't want to trudge through that shit lake again.

Saw Lifehouse, though; they seem like passionate people about thier music. Good performers too.

With an unimaginable passion. And this is not that airy "Omg, guys do what i want and it's liek soooo annoying!" BS bimbo crap - People think i'm weak, stupid, arrogant, and have money coming out the wazoo/ my parents wazoo. That things are handed to me on a silver platter. Add to it the sorta distancy/ sleepy personality i have most of the time, and everything just gets magnified. and I. HATE. IT.

I had this sort of expirence at work today with a co-worker. (not jon, he left- but ironically he as the same name) He's somewhat new, has worked as a waiter for a billion and a half years, and he, i'm gonna be blunt, is black.

One: I am not my parents, i do my damndest to be courteous and respectful of all races, but i'll be honest, black people make me uneasy until i know them better; i'm terrified to slip and say something that'll piss a person off, or, god help me, be called racist.

I AM german; (fun fact, my great-grandparents fled Nazi germany to avoid all ...loveliness back then.), so being CALLED racist has come up in the past. But it's more that i'm you're stereotypical white-bread American blonde idiot. That's my stereotype. I am well versed in the ways of being treated like a retard in common society.

So today, my co-worker makes a series of comments about seeming stupid and lazy... such as "Well, i know you stupid as hell, so..." "why can't you get that right, eh? I tell you over and over again to use this, but you just keep ignoring me..." "what's wrong with you? Don't you get it?" "Well, i wouldn't want you to strain your arms there with that *sarcastic tone*" Etc etc ec-frickin'-etera.

And i know the logical response is "well, why do you care what he thinks of you?" Well, he influences a fair amount of people. He's above me slightly (by 25 cents) in the server hierarchy chain, so he has the right to boss me around. He tells and jokes with good friends of mine at my expense, and kinda contaminates the social standing i've been building there. Plus, working in a hostile environment is...i hate it even more then being blonde.

So after a fair amount of bullying, i broke down. I've tried my hardest to be nice, to take his comments in stride and play them off in a humorous light somehow, but i just couldn't do it. You try so hard, and what happens? You get into the same shit-fights that you try to avoid, and you're pinned. You can't say anything against him without it sounding racist, and you live the same droll day after day of getting shit piled on you, and you can't fight back. I fight back, i get blamed.

Thank god i have 4 days to cool down. But I KNOW i'll be dreading that day when i go back, i'll be afraid to work with him, because i hate conflicts: and until the day comes when either of us stops working there, i'll ALWAYS feel like that.

I'm no good in a fight. I don't have those innate verbal re-bound skills to come back or to even think in a fight. All i know is that i'm angry, and i want a resolution or a way out- or someone to leave. I can't form coherant arguements, which only furthers my idiot stereotype, and i HATE IT ALL.

*seethes* *paints hair black and sits all emo*


On an unrelated note, i got prints made of on fancy cardstock. I'll try and sell them somewhere, i have to think of where. I sold the original to my dad.

A Posse, if you will... of gaia earth-mashers companion-y things like [link] .

Now! Before you laugh at me and burn me with your cigarettes, hear me out. I'm sick of so-n-so always drawing this person's crap-traption, or OMG! Said person has a contest going on and i'm going to drop all things like commissions and previous obligations to draw thier character in generic blaaaankk sppppaaacceee! Now, what is the difference in what i'm trying to do here and what theyv'e already done? Nothing. It's a complete contradition on what i've just said. But it can involve you this time.

Short version of the Gaia Hypothosis: Each faction of life is dominated and controled by a guardian. Long version found here: [link] .

For the part you should really only care about: If you draw/ create a design for an element listed below (or one completly random, i don't mind), i'll add it to the posse; which means various drawings and all that i'll do with your character, free o' charge, whenever i feel like it, i'll use that design, and credit you. But YOU! Don't get lazy with adding a design and not doing anything with it, you like someone elses contribution, feel free to add them into your pictures as well. Think of it like one, big, generic love-fest.

Now, you may be saying "But Andrea! I can't draw worth a damn!" I don't care. You wanna make a stick figure with lines, be my guest, i've never thought that creativity should be judged on techinical skill alone. There are many people out there 10,000 times more creative then myself without being able to interpret thier own ideas on the same level of detail or whatever that i can do. Art should not be judged like that.

Or, you might say "Hey skuzzbag, do this yourself!" And i have, for many of the designs, but there's no fun in that. Big woop, i can come up with character designs, who doesn't? I want YOUR involvement in on this, that's the key.

There ARE stipulations (guidelines) Eastern dragon format.(chinese-ish) Everything else is up to you. Below i'll list ideas i've come up with; if you'd like to add more, or goofy, or whatever to it, then i'll add them, if you promise to draw that guardian. Guardian of Fuzzy pink rabbits eating bacon? Let it be so!

You may use this template to get your idea started:
