:tea:Cheap Commissiony Goodness:tea:

Two journals in one month. I feel horrible. So let me just list things that will be included so you can skim it and decide if this journal is worthy of your time.

-Personal updates (not worth your time)
-Advertisements and recommendations of awesome people
-List of things introduction
-This week's list: Observations

As of sometime last week I'm officially chained for life an English Education major. In two years, I'll be (hopefully) teaching in Highschool. Which is kind of scary, considering that I could theoretically be the teacher of some of my own friends on DA who are still in Highschool. Aside from that, there's a month left of school and then Speakeasy can come back from exile which is awesome. Next semester I'll be living in an apartment with ~LordessCass and crazy times will be had.


Alright enough of the boring stuff. If you're looking for an OCT, check out Coloring-Medium, which still needs members and support. Go in and have a look, if you haven't been in an OCT before this might be a nice chance to give it a try!
:iconcoloring-mediumoct:


Gonna start listing three people each journal that you should go check out. Here is said list:

Also, if you're looking for quality and reasonable commissions (especially point commissions) check these fellows out:

Only listed ones that were currently open when I made the journal


On the subject of lists, I started making some last night. This week's list is Observations. I'd have put up the "things pissing me off" list but it is very long and needs to be broken into smaller parts.

Observations
:bulletblack: It is only okay to like wolves if you make fun of everyone else who does.
:bulletblack: Many people, when they ask for your opinion on their work, do not want your actual opinion. However, I haven’t figured out what to respond with in these situations; still undergoing extensive testing for solutions.
:bulletblack: People have the potential to be awesome.
:bulletblack: Anti-‘wolfaboos’ are just as annoying as ‘wolfaboos’
:bulletblack: Hot chocolate powder in coffee is a good combination.
:bulletblack: Only the insane become teachers.
:bulletblack: People like to tell you their eyes change color, presumably because it makes them feel ‘special’.  
:bulletblack: Trolling is now the 'cool thing' to do.
:bulletblack: The 'pseudo-realism' style for comics is currently popular. And it's kind of boring.
:bulletblack: Big cats are becoming the new wolves.


:bulletred:Stuff I Need To Do:bulletred:
~TwelvePM RAGE!match (Progress: In progress/School Hiatus!)
~ReverendAspen Ref request (Progress: Complete!)

I have a character who was somewhat of a lazy bum and insists that her eyes change color sometimes. No one who makes that statement thinks about how very impractical it would be to have mood ring eyes if you ever want to be anything but up-front about your feelings. But it's speshul, so you know.

School over plz.

Mood ring eyes. Teehee. And yes, it is rather impractical, especially for someone who is a diplomat or something.

Speshul.

You could be teaching me, cuz. :iconcreepyfaceplz:

Observations. They are true!

[Also if this comment shows up twice it's because I'm actually not insane and did post it this morning somewhere. Carrot.]

Because that couldn't possibly end wrong.

They are the sad truth it seems. Sad, sad, truth.

[It did not. Hark and rejoice!]

Thanks for the feature! ^^ It coincides conveniently with the posting of this: [link] C:

I thought about being an English major for awhile. I love the English language and litereature... but I'm not sure I want to be a teacher. I'll have two years of basic classes in which to decide what I want to be, I suppose. Good luck! :] It sounds like it would be interesting to do. And you won't have to worry about roommates dragging in unknown people and random, unexplained childre? = D

lulz. I love your observations. Have you seen that entire group dedicated to Anti-Wolfaboos? I took a look at it, because wolfaboos are annoying. And then I saw that anti-wolfaboos are equally annoying! xD They come off as whiny, and it makes me wonder what they have -against- wolves.

I think a died for a second when I saw that pop up in my inbox.

English, alone, as a major I've heard being referred to as "most useless major". I'm not sure what one would do with just an English major. Maybe they invent words or something. Or write those horrible standardized tests....the nightmares. But what is your intended major? Or the exact term for it. Because majors are always strangely worded to be fancy sounding.

Hopefully there will be no more spontaneous children. Earlier today one of them caught the oven on fire. So we opened all of the windows to air the place out. Later on, they turned on the AC and I discover the windows were still open. I tell them if they want the AC on, close the windows. Apparently, the AC magically turned itself on, by itself, with no one's help. Apparently. Needless to say I am eager about my new apartment. In actuality, most of my problems here are fairly minor and all boil down to the same roommate. Aside from that, it's not that bad. Makes for amusing stories, however.

I have seen it, it makes me sad inside. They're so oblivious to their own failure and contribution to the problem that you can't even laugh at them. Why is it that the fandumb and anti-fandumb are about the same as far as annoyances go? I suppose moderation is key to everything.

NOW I'm spamming your inbox again :D

I've heard the same thing about it. Other than tech, I really have no idea what you'd do with it. I certainly would want to make standardized tests xD As for my major, there's a lot of uncertainty at the moment. Possibly photography. Or maybe first something like radiography that will pay for other things... I'll figure it out eventually. xD

Oh wow. There's more than one spontaneous child and they catch ovens on fire? It does indeed make for amusing stories.

Really! Such things should not exist. :iconrookstaresplz: I don't think it was particularly well thought out to make a group like that. x]

My friends like to tell me their eye changes color too. It bothers me, because no matter how often they say it, I never see it. I swear.

So when ever that happens, I guess say: "Well, guess what? My eyes are blue no matter what happens. What now?"

All eyes change color depending on the amount of light in the room due to light absorption. However, it is a very subtle change. Not the "blue to brown" thing people try to convince you of. Even the coloring of one's clothing will chance the perception of their eye color.

Makes me wanna glue their eyes shut.
