I got featured by ~ZpanSven so...

1. Be one of the first 18 or so people commenting on this journal entry (and to say you want a feature), and I will add you to the Featured List!

2. For each of the 18 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

3. If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 18 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone. (The only exemption I'm willing to make is if you regularly feature people already.)


Here we go!
1.
[link] Because honor demanded it... that and it's by far my favorite of Anubisu. :3 He's very bite-able! <.< It totally has nothing to do with the awesome story you're working on with them. Really. Though it's great to look at this after reading the "Seduction of Mia Koji".
[link] Gender-bender Link. Need I say more?
Third place... is a tie between [link] and [link] Both are VERY nice cheesecake. Very nice... assets they both have.
:3 In general, awesome art! Going through the gallery was fun, and there were a few images that surprised me [like the General Zelda ! Zelda being useful! SHOCK!]

2.
[link] This is actually what prompted me to watching you, I believe. Very nice color job, might I add. After seeing this image, mind you, I did go onto youtube and watch a few episodes of SWAT-Kats.
[link] Bike Mice from Mars FTW! Not enough good fanart out there for these guys, if I do say so m'self.
[link] Again, amazing coloring job! Very nice color on Felina, if I do say so m'self. Tis a far cry better than what she's normally in.

Got the student loan payment down. AND my 'rents got me a car. <3 I love my 'rents. Stress level has gone way down. Granted there was a lot of that last week at work. 48 people were laid off or forced into early retirement. Our call center lost a manager and the director of the center, Covington lost their only manager, and the rest were at Waynesboro and some of the retail stores.

:/ Kinda had all of us worried that we'd come into the work with the chains on the doors. I'm still not certain how I feel about all of it -- it was my manager that lost her job.

Mm.. Back pain sucks.

Joy. I get to come up with 135.00 by the 15th so I can defer on my loans again. Ugh.

Seriously, I think now that if I had a choice when it came to college with AIP I may not have gone. Student loans are a nightmare. Especially since I can barely make ends meet right now. I suppose a call to the 'rents and grand'rents is in store to see if I can get some financial help.

There is a lot of not happy going on right now.

FINALLY! Sorry that it took so long for me to get around to this. DA has been the least on my mind, hence my long absence.

I got my results from the doc, and I have a clean bill of health. No cancer. YAY! It was actually a nurse that laid my fears to rest because what she said to me made sense. "If the lumps hurt that's good. It means it's normal breast tissue. Cancer doesn't hurt."

That got me thinking. She had a very good point. Cancer isn't really part of you and wouldn't have any nerves in it.

:/ It's a shame that a doc couldn't have told me that a while ago so I didn't have such a freak out.


Also.... 'm still car-less. That may be remedied soon, though. I'd just need to default on my loans again so I'd have the money for a car...

Ah well. I'm still working on the pinup calendar. Woot! I have most of the images sketched out, I just need to finalize them, scan them, and color.

Still no car, though that's the least of my worries.

I'm hoping that the 15th gets here soon, yet I don't want it to come. Seriously, it's nice to know that something is wrong with you, but there are times you're just like, "Why is this something I have to worry about? Why should I worry about it? I've been good(ish) person... things like this shouldn't happen to good people." Except they do, and it rarely happens to the assholes that deserve it. At least I hope that they'll get their comeuppance in the next life.

As for what I'm talking about...

I'm not certain if I mentioned it here or in another journal of sorts. Back in February I went to the doctor for my physical. There was a small lump on my chest. It was small, about the size of the pencil eraser. There were two more small ones like that. The doctor told me to come back in three months, but with how busy I've been and lacking a car, I haven't had a chance to swing by there until now.

Aw, c'mon, Rotzi, small li'l bumps on the chest aren't nothing to worry about...

...yea, right. Not only have they grown, it's moved to the other side, and there are seven. I just really want to find the closest rock to crawl under and just pretend that it's happening to someone else.

I called my mum today to tell her the news. While I don't want to seem like an emotional, clingy child, she has offered to come to the doctor's with me, and I'm probably going to take her up on that offer.

Kinda funny. I always wanted a breast reduction... Careful what you wish for, kids. Fate has this -great- sense of humor.

At least I have a bottle of Bailey's and a bottle of Absolut at home that are unopened. I figure I can celebrate if it's something minor, or drink a little while depressed, get disgusted with myself for doing it, and come out stronger to find a way to fight through it if it's something major.

Update
=======
I went to the doctor and I've been scheduled for an ultrasound of my breasts and a mammogram. I'll give an update for what happens.
