Seriously, I waited almost two weeks for this stupid image to appear. I wish I was joking.
Oh, I published GF volume one in my spare time. It's expensive, it has the old art and I can't do anything about it, but my proof will show up soon and if I deem it close to being worth the cost, I'll let it go public, but, frankly, I don't blame you if you don't buy it.
Other things I've been doing: swimming, sun-burning, finding new comics (The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal and Godseeker), thinking about drawings I want to do and/or sketching them, watching dumb-ass Garry's Mod and Half Life videos on YouTube aaaaand eating and hating my job. I also finally got a book I've waited two plus years for (Glee!) and played some Sims2.
It's enjoyable. I'm going to poke the website and try to get the cobwebs out and then get to work on REALLY reworking some stuff in GF and time management. Maybe one day I'll go to a Con. I live in a shitty area for cons, lemme tell ya.

BREAK TIME
In case you haven't heard the word, I am going on break. I am breaking myself from my art and story writing to find some peace of mind. No Roger, no Baxter, no Tlaloc raping Alex - NADA.
No wait come back! This does not mean "I'm dropping GF, fuck y'all" as I have always said I'd never ever leave you without an ending. Do you see an ending anywhere in sight?
That is exactly the reason I am taking a break. While you, the reader, may not see it, I am working my brain full-tilt 24/7 trying to write, plan, draw and update a comic I make no profit on. I've lost sleep over ideas and ruined nights out to come home and doodle something. My job is killing me as it is; I don't need what used to be an enjoyment turning me inside out.
So I'm dropping the cards and saying "fuck this shit" but only as a "for now". I may only need a weekend to recuperate, but I may need longer. Coming back won't be easy but I want it to be natural. I want GF to be something I WANT to do again as opposed to something I push myself to do and feel guilty when I fail.
I refuse to feel guilt. It's a comic. It's something I used to love and have turned into a monster. With approaching return to school I simply can't have something like this.
If you've made it this far through the blog entry, congratulations, there's more!
Despite being "closed until further notice" I am still taking contest submissions...if you have any.
I'd like to thank the people who have tirelessly waited anxiously for updates, prodded me along and even outright bitchslapped me into doing more pages. But I need a break. When I can love my characters again and stop talking to them about lotions and baskets while they sit in a well, I will return.
And I WILL return.

Felt Like Updating
It's 3am, do you know where I am not?
In bed.
I wanted to post an update of some sort. I haven't been working on the next page. I was busy this past weekend and I've been feeling hammered on all week at work (hammered ON, I wish I was hammered...). But tomorrow is my Friday and I'm hoping I'm in the clear for some alone time with my computer on actual-Thursday.
It's so ridiculous. When I'm busy, all I want is to be left alone to figure things out. The second I DO get a chunk of time to myself for anything, I fucking blow it on Fiesta, the Sims, facebook or just stupid random drawings like this one. I don't know what I want anymore. A trip to Mexico, three bottles of tequila and some sunlight, maybe...
I am using a big hunk of time to work on Issue 14, which is yet unnamed and unfinished. This is...so unheard of that I don't even know how to handle it. Issues 1 through 13 were planned, placed and run as effortlessly (shut up, I meant mentally) as blinking. Now I find myself going "Shit, what happens next? Oh God that's my job!" and panicking. I really don't know WHAT happens at this point. I've got scenes, events and an end for GF, but no story. Some hurdles have been leapt, others are tripping me up and the rest are tied to my ankle and smashing everything in my wake. MADNESS. But I could drop the ending on GF at the snap of my fingers which has always comforted me in case of emergencies. Not to say I will, but it's there. Oh it's there.
If you've got any words of wisdom or inspiration, try me, but I can't guarantee they'll be effective. If you really want to help, find me some more of this tequila I got in Mexico that I cannot locate in the World Wide Web.

PSI-Kick
lolz, Ahm funneh.
Anyway, today's page is dedicated to Psi, one of the people behind "Digital Screensaver" and one of the few guys that frequent the journal here. Also, one of the few GUYS who reads GF. I know I say it everytime, but it amazes me that guys read this comic. Thanks for being a pillar of your gender, Psi! (hahaha pillars look like penises...)
Today's Page:
Huh. This was interesting. I was practically physically incapable of pulling myself away from this page. I put off eating dinner for several hours before I forgot. I simply forgot to take care of my biological REQUIREMENTS for living. I guess you could say it worked out. The page looks nice, right?
Ramses...oh Ramses...You need a wheelbarrow for all the shit you get...

Today's page brought to you by the letter C
As in Chanyasoy!
Thank you for drawing Hina Ika fanart and being an adorable fangirl! I think you're a girl, anyway...Damn you, internet anmymymtityee!
Anyway, thanks for the great GF doodles, of which I found one today. Roger's such a grump.
Today's page:
This page...don't ask me to do this page again. I won't do it. I thought my love for this scene would push me along, but it was stupid hard to get through. Also, I hate my neighbors. They are the worst. I'm going to burn this place down, I swear to God.
Also, I already wrote this post but it has magically disappeared. Awesome.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CONTEST! July 1st!
