@pachi: I know the feels of working on an avi so long, only to finish it and still be dissatisfied. Tends to be me when I'm going through avi block. I just force it and it never works.

@MoodyB: Bright furniture sounds like it suits you perfectly based on your aesthetics here. I love seeing others' aesthetics that don't match my own. And you're welcome!

@MoodyB: You can always explain that you don't hate him. Some people are just like that--they need it spelled out for them, or they just need that extra reassurance, and that's okay.
And you're welcome! If you think of anything else that you might need help with, I might have some suggestions. And if it makes you feel any less intimidated, I've lived out of my parents' house for about 8 years now, and only 2 pieces of our furniture came brand-new versus pre-owned. A lot of it doesn't match, and I'm cool with that. Maybe when I have a lot more expendable income, I'll make the investment in matching everything, but I'm content with what I have for now. What makes a home is what you're comfortable with. <3

@MoodyB: I doubt he'll hate you for moving out. Maybe feel disappointed, sure, but not hate you. All good parents want to see their children succeed in life, and that includes living alone or at least outside of their parents' home. If you're looking to buy new furniture, you can always ask the stores about how long it takes to deliver. In which case, you won't have to worry about having a friend with a good vehicle to transport lol. Worst case scenario, if your bed is delayed getting delivered, air mattresses aren't very expensive. Or futons, if you're into those. I think it's a good idea to keep those in your household anyway in case something happens to your bed, or you have company over.

@MoodyB: Oh yeah, the bigger stuff can definitely be a pain. Perhaps when the time comes, you'll know someone with the muscle and/or vehicle you can have to help you move the bigger stuff, that way you hopefully save money? If you end up hiring movers, just keep in mind that more often than not, they're not on schedule. So remember to allow for extra time in case something goes amiss.

@MoodyB: Are there things you're unsure about now that you'd like more advice on? Not necessarily insurance related. Just curious. There are some affordable vision and dental options out there. Between the two, I pay less than 50 bucks a month for myself.

Make sure you can invest in insurance before moving out. Part of being truly independent is having something to fall back on in case something happens. Health insurance is a must in today's world, and I'm not sure what your options are depending on where you live, but absolutely start with that. Some health insurance companies may include dental and/or vision, so ask about those options. Also, because you have mental health concerns, look at your coverage options when it comes to mental health services.
It's not a bad idea to look into accident insurance, which essentially pays you for being out of work if you have an accident. Mind you, it usually won't pay your full paycheck, but more like a percentage of your income, but it's better to have some form of income than nothing at all. Long-term and short-term disability insurance work in a similar way, so that if something happens where you can't work, you have some means of income versus nothing.
Also look into property or renter's insurance if you're going to rent. Many places require renter's insurance, so shop around for that. It's mainly there so that if something happens to someone else while in your home, you're covered financially. Also look into personal property insurance, which you can use to protect your valuables. In the event that they're damaged or stolen, you may qualify to be reimbursed to replace those valuables.
Last but not least, if you're looking to have a pet with you, which I'm not sure if you are, there are pet insurance options out there as well.

@GoblinsAndTea: Ooh, that sounds like a nice idea for the Howl tattoo, and I hope your preferred artist accepts commissions soon!

Posted 2 years ago
That's a cute design, and great placement, I think! Perfect timing too for the warming weather as well!
Do you have ideas for how/where you want your Howl tattoo? My first tattoo will most likely be No Face from Spirited Away, holding his hands out like he does to offer gold. Except, instead of gold, it'll be a latte, and the latte art will be Calcifer. At least that's my vision, but now I'll have to find an artist.

So sorry for your loss.
I can relate a lot, but not quite 100%, in that I lost my maternal grandparents too young (I don't speak to my paternal grandparents, for reasons I won't get into for now). I lost my grandmother to cancer the year I started college, and I lost my grandfather to an aortic dissection (literally a broken heart) 6 years later. My grandmother never got to meet my fiance or our son, and my grandfather never got to see his first great-grandchild. My grandmother actually couldn't make my high school graduation ceremony because she was so sick that day from the chemo she'd been going through. Every. Day. I. Miss. Them. Both. They were like a second set of parents for me since they watched us any time my parents needed. And I go through all the emotions you named, and it's all totally normal. Part of what helps me get through it is talking about them, both the good and the bad times. One day I'd like to get a tattoo to honor them, but I'm lacking in the creativity department, so hard for me to land on and stick with an idea. I'm not much for putting words and numbers in tattoos, but that's just me. Also, I work with seniors for a living, which is something I never thought I'd be doing if you asked me 10 years ago, but I love what I do, and it's kinda like having more grandparents lol.
I'm rambling, but I hope maybe talking it out with others helps you heal more. It'll be a long process, I'm sure, but I like to say progress is progress, no matter how small. Sending you e-hugs if you're cool with that. <3

Wildfire:
@Aisukohi: Oh, that sounds like it could be fun! How did you even find out about the convention - Ocala isn't particularly known for its Japanese TV show conventions, is it? Horses, I can see, but Japanese anime? XD Are you planning on getting autographs or anything? I hope you have a lot of fun!! <3
LOL - Dragonball Z is one of those shows you put on in the background just to have something playing when you're sick as a dog, lying on the couch and dozing in and out of sleep. It's not like you'd actually miss anything in terms of action XD XD
@Koah: Koah, I was on Gaia waaaaaay back when it was still fairly new and yeah, those items were a complete mess... so was the player pool. :/
Oh no! You're really getting hammered right now, aren't you? I'm so sorry. On the upside, it sounds like mom is feeling better and getting anxious to get back to her regular routine... maybe that will direct some of her "attention" off of you and whatever pressures she's applying. Your stress levels and, I assume, lack of sleep, isn't helping with any of it right now, I'm sure too... :( Do you want to talk about any of it?
I'm sorry to hear about the tire. It doesn't sound like anyone was hurt or damage done, so that's a good thing at least... and yay - now it's running?!
And yeah, I was going to post photos! I'll get a couple things cropped and uploaded :3
LOL - I have to do the zooming thing too sometimes, depending on the font size and color/contrast chosen...

I get feeds on my Facebook for cons in my area, and that was one of them lol. It's funny you say Ocala is known for horses because the convention was IN the World Equestrian Center, which is also where the last anime con was of a different name lol. I never plan on getting autographs because they don't mean as much to me as just getting to hear about the actor and having them answer questions from us, even silly ones. So I usually get that done by sitting through panels. I should probably further support the actors by standing in line at their booths and asking something of them, since each action supports them financially. None of them get royalties for their work, which I'm not sure if you know, but they get paid by the hour of what they actually put in the studio. I'm just not a huge fan of standing in line in case I miss other things going on, and I really like taking my time in artist alley. I don't think I've ever left a con early for lack of things to do.

@Nezha: Oh, so the username makes sense then lol. I like the new one.
The con was great, although I suck at taking pictures. xD I usually just focus on the moment, really.
I feel you on the shark week thing. I'm fairly lucky when it comes to mine, but sometimes I'm just way over it. Hope your week has been going well.

@Nezha: Oh wow, username change for you! What triggered the change?
I've been doing well. Things are steadily getting better at work, and I've got a con I'm going to this weekend, so something to look forward to.
