17 is a pretty big age. It's moving past 16, and one year before 18. And those two are pretty big ages in the teenage world today. 17 is just well, there as the odd one. And I am the odd one on September 8th PST tomorrow, and right now I'm looking at my life and myself and I really don't feel 17.

That or I don't want to. School's started again and I'm in my final year of high school, so things are definitely going to be busy. Part of me wants to stay a bit longer, but part of me just wants to get out and go to university, do what I'm supposed to do and get what I'm supposed to get. Then again, that's no way to really look at life.

This isn't really me being depressed - this is so much more a real eye-opening "wow, I've made it this far" experience. So much has happened to me over the years - it's been how many years since I first joined dA at, what, 11 - 12 years old? And look how much I've improved then yet I'm still learning. And it can all be marked down with several hobbies: the Neopets days, the Dragon Booster days, the CBZ days...I haven't forgotten those and nor do I want to, but it seems to be drifting away from me quite easily as I grow. Even though there is unfinished business I'd like to accomplish, of course, in each field.

Basically, I'm about to be an adult. I'm not there legally yet - that's one more year where I can drive a car by myself, I go to university, I can legally drink a pina colada since that's the only kind of cocktail and alcolawl I can stand - it's a lot. Until then, though, I just have to prepare for that time and here's the age to do it while getting as much as I can done. This is going to be the year where I really define myself and grow up, and become a more responsible person who can accomplish what she can. Thank you to all that have stood by me in the past and in the present and who can in the future from anywhere and from anytime and with anything whatsoever - you've all been so great to me, and without you all, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Okay, so here's what's going on.

I had to return my normal personal PC/my work laptop to school before July 31st because the wireless fried, so I was stuck with my bro's PC.

Unfortunately that meant joint use of the computer which means it's REALLY SLOW and also a curfew time. My curfew has been bumped up to 10:00 PM now so I'm miffed but then it got worse.

My mom has installed Norton Safety Minder on my account and passworded it and set it to shut down my computer at 10:00 PM exactly throughout that time until 6 AM.

To top it off my internet usage and history is being monitored.

Now, I can't stand that idea. Every time I think about it, I tear up in rage. Deny me the mall, deny me parties, but DON'T DENY ME OF WHAT I'M GOOD WITH AND GOOD AT. I am looking for a job all because of money, because until I get my laptop back (and even then), I'd like a nice transportable Dell that can handle a lot of stuff for a good number of years, preferably once I get into Uni. But it might take awhile to find a job around here that's close to me, and to earn the necessary money before 12 months.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is where I finally decide to do commissions.

I haven't exactly worked out the full details yet for prices and whatnot, but I do have a Paypal where the money can get sent if necessary. If I can get a job and do some commissions, well I'm earning money either way. Plus, I can finally do something with my skill.

If you're interested, leave a post here or message me with some details. In the future, expect my commissions policy to be made later on, although I'm pretty sure it will be similar to most others.

~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~~~***~~~

1. Tomorrow I'm gonna have crepes for school lunch since I made them over the weekend.

2. I want "Naruto" to end with Naruto and Ino getting together. I am dead serious, nobody will see it coming, and it's the perfect WTF ending. Plus blond-haired, blue-eyed, irritating babies all around to start off the legacy.

3. Lady Shakespeare was my favourite character in Macbeth. She was also my least favourite. In fact, she was the only reason I paid attention to Macbeth in Language Arts/English class.

4. I'm the president of my school's Anime Club. This Tuesday, I do How to Draw lessons. |D

5. My cellphone is a Nokia 2855i flip-phone. It's ancient and bulky. >|

6. Chibi-usa was actually my favourite "Sailor Moon" character back in the day. To this day, I still don't know why I like her as much as I do.

7. "Your Love" by The Outfield is a song that I got hooked on to because the lead singer's voice drew me in: I hated yet loved it at the same time.

8. I fall for the wrong freaking guys. It's always been like this. >|
