Halloween

DEAD GIRL DRINKS BEER

DEAD GIRL DRINKS BEER

So. Halloween happened this year! Unlike last year’s Halloween where I just dressed up as a lame cat, by wearing my Spirithood, because I was too busy packing to go on a stupid trip, this year I spent THREE AND A HALF HOURS putting makeup all over any visible skin that I could reach so that I could be a dead thing.

No, I was not a zombie – though you guys know I love me some zombies – and no, I was not a vampire. Just a dead, slightly victorian looking thing. If I wasnt at a 100+ person social event, I’d have just laid on the floor and pretended to be dead, but If I’d done that, I’d likely have been trampled by a hoard of people, and it’s kind of hard to drink the beers and eat the candies if you are just laying on the floor.


Portfolio

Marsala Face

So, I’m smashing away, trying to get my portfolio up and running.

I’m not happy to just use a portfolio builder, because I like doing the building part of things; I like the ultimate control I have over every single detail. Im building the whole thing myself, with the help of a couple frame works, so you wont see anything exactly like it on the web.

I think that portfolio is a bit of a misnomer. It has the portfolio aspect, but, unbeknownst to my mentor, its also going to be a bit of a personal face to the world. I’m going to have twitter, instagram, and other feeds. Im going to have links to artists that have inspired me forever.

On a technical level, it’s an Angular JS, FfA, JSON, SASS, monstrosity, cobbled together with images served by cloudinary, because cloudinary is awesomesauce.


Python, Angular, and Foundation

It’s a lot of work. I’ve been bashing away at this stuff since approximately the last week of July, and it’s really hard. I’m not in this alone, but I’m trying not to rely too much on the person who is teaching me, because I’m trying to be independant.

Let’s go back. To learn these languages, I’m working on a library catalogue app for my mother. We have…. just a few books. Nearly four thousand actually. It started out to be an online listing of all the books my family owns, so we stop buying duplicates for each other. It’s evolved into a lot more, partly because I wanted it to, and partially because I overcomplicated it to teach myself more in-depth concepts.

It’s really hard. I’m struggling constantly. My teacher insists I’m doing well, but I don’t know that I believe that. I’m perpetually running into roadblocks and It’s really frustrating and depressing. I’m worried that I’ll fail at this and my poor teacher will have wasted lots of time, and that I’ll just be a disappointment :/


oooohhhh hello!

Hey lovelies!

So my downtime was a bit longer than I said it would be.

Honestly, I stopped streaming because I started dating a viewer in mid-October. This will not ever happen again, as it was one of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever made; I’ve made worse decisions, but it was definitely in the top 5.


Happy New Year!

Happy New Year guys!


SPIRITHOOD!

Look at the paws!

Siberian Snow Leopard

I’m getting a Spirithood!

Ok, so I’m getting one of these. So friggin cute and it’s a KITTY. We all know how much I love ze kitties. One of my lovely viewers showed ’em to me and immediately I thought ‘I NEED DIS!’ T’was mere weeks ago, and already my will power has crumbled. I only know of one retailer in Canada that carries the authentic ones, and my friend lives near one, so he will be bringing it to me when he comes to visit! You bet your butts imma stream in this thing allll the time.

<3 Meow!

p.s. Get yours @ spirithoods.com!


downtime – UPDATED

Hey guys, I’m going to be offline for three periods of time throughout October, and one in November.  I’m really sorry!

October 8 – October 13: I’m going to my parents cabin for thanksgiving weekend. By weekend I mean 6 days. That’s totally a weekend, right?

October 15 – October 20: Visiting my sister for the weekend to hide from an unfortunate consequence of my real life. Again, another 6-day weekend. My family plays fast and loose with the term ‘weekend.’

October 22 – October 25: An old friend is coming to visit me for a long weekend. Long weekend means only 3 days in this case.

November 2 – November 9 (tentative): Going to Toronto for personal reasons for the ‘weekend’…. Oh, fuck it. Its not a weekend. It’s not even days bracketing a weekend. I cant fool you this time. It’s just a full on week this time..

So I’ll get maybe 2 days per week :/  I’m so sorry!  I still love you guys. I’m sure I’ll post things on twitter/FB/IG/whatever while I’m away.<3

I love you guys

I’d like to apologize to you all for vanishing for three days with no warning. I get migraine headaches, with fun symptoms like photosensitivity, aural sensitivity, temporary partial blindness (which is super weird to experience) and vomiting. The first two are common. The blindness happens sometimes. The vomiting has only happened twice and this was one of the two times. Nobody wants to see that, nor do they want me fleeing, any more than I already do, by randomly afking to the bathroom!

The support I received from my regulars was touching, and I really really appreciate it <3 The down time gave me a chance to check out some of your streams and support you back, and it was a fantastic distraction from being bed-bound. You guys are great.

Lastly I’d like to thank my little Brambley cat, who stayed by my side from the beginning of the day that I started throwing up. She always knows when I’m sick, even before I do, and she glues herself to me. She is still doing it right now actually!

I will likely be back tonight guys. Love you all!
