LOLOLOLOL.

This is why I don't use DA anymore, guys. So...I -can- have sexual themed stories, but god forbid anyone else "watches" the sex? Not participating, but just watching? LOL! Good one. This place is hilarious! I love how certain things go "over the line" when they're not. I mean, at this point just delete all my stuff, right? Just don't allow sexual stories of any nature. Why delete certain ones and make it seem like finger-pointing at certain artists?

I see the way the rules are written anything could be a violation, but they're so flipping confusing no one bothers with them. I mean, I've seen far worse romance stories that are "real" smut that get a chance to stay and yet this was taken down?

I'll stick with Lemonfingers for my work...oh, and my website. Where I can put up whatever I like, whenever I like and no one can take it down:

(air-lobster.com: it has branches with hubs to my fanart site and more)

Now, I'm not angry because this is DA. I've been here before and I EXPECT this site to be an ass to me. Besides, they can't control my shit: it's up other places, some of which it can't be taken down. But really, guys? Someone 'watching' vaguely is "bad"..? That's a thin line. considering the rest of my stuff is still up.

So yeah, sorry again. x3

June 30th was my birthday (I'm 32 yrs old, hurrr), and we're in the process of moving to our new home right now! I lose the internet tonight and then I'll be back up soon.

x3

I GOT A HOUSE FOR MY BIRTHDAY. :B Ha ha, not really. But yeah, that was the day we signed.

...sorry if I haven't been online here at all in the past few weeks.

WE MANAGED TO FIND A HOUSE! There were 3 other bids on it but ours turned out to be the best, so we "got" it. And during inspection there were a few things wrong with it but we were okay with it. The seller fixed 2 of the things we asked him to and we're closing on June 30th (my birthday)!!

So things have been super busy and I'm WAY short of temper because this other ass from a bad house we looked at didn't sign to get us our $500 back from the earnest money (he thinks he should get it, so now we have to take him to small claims and it's a hassle), plus move, get new insurance, sell one of the cars, pack, close the loanwork off, scramble to get enough $$ for 2 extra months of rent from the apartment and house mortgage, clean the apartment top to bottom...

Yeah.

So I've been busy and worried so sick that I haven't been writing. I've been barely drawing. x3

"Starving dog made into art"
- this has been a hot topic around the net now.

Person who saw article someplace: OMG starving dog let's become a MOB and not have our facts straight!!!!

Other person on internet: Lulz, okai! I AM SO GONNA HATE EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME!11


The stress of more house-hunting (we have another inspection to do on yet another house), scrimping money together to be able to pay for it all and begging money off my folks (GOD I hated doing that but we needed that 20% down)

I'm about ready to snap. Wait, wait: I did snap. I have.

And stupidity makes me snarl. I hate it. hate it. Okay, maybe it's blindness. You see something that makes you so outraged (like that 'Orphaned Art' bill, I went apeshit for awhile then realized it wasn't going to pass and it didn't mean what that original article was claiming it meant anyway)...

This "Starving Dog Art" thing. It's got me banging my head on the wall. I want to slap people. Just slap 'em. A lot. Don't freak out too much until you can confirm it, people! It would be terrible if it were true, but it's SOOOOO outrageous I simply can't believe it's true at all.

It's UNDETERMINED at this time as of now from Snopes. You can read about it here: [link]

LOGIC people...logic.
If the dog was chained up without food or water in the condition it was in for several days it would have died long before then. You can only go without water for a very short period of time. That dog was already malnourished and dehydrated by the looks, so it wouldn't have lasted if they hadn't taken exquisite care of it in the exhibit (like supporters of the art have claimed the artist did). Again: supporters of this art have claimed the dog was watered and fed, and unchained for periods of time. Then it was released afterwards.

The artists did this so people would be aware of the problem of underfed, unowned dogs in that country. Not so that people would go all PETA on his ass specifically and sign worthless petitions to stop "animal cruelty" when there (most likely) wasn't any animal cruelty going on. The artists wanted to put a stop to animal cruelty himself...and show people that they should help, not just "observe".

~ lead paint on outside
~ possible asbestos in the attic
~ signs of a fire in the attic
~ crawlspace was so small we'd never be able to get under
~ the entire house's wiring needs to be redone
~ the windows are old
~ termites under the step

...and much, much more.

HA HA HA. [/hysterical laugh]

Back to house hunting. ;_; We have until late June.
