End of semester Cram Time
It is nearing the end of the semester year and with that comes the flood of workload that everyone in college experiences, or should experience.
I know that my whining about it is nothing special, but right now I feel like I have essays coming out of every orifice.
Essays cause me a LOT stress because I am not good at writing them, heck I am not very good at writing what I mean properly in journals.
My personal art is on the side, I barely get to do doodles for myself, and the pages of XM are on hiatus. (which really hurts a lot, cause I have to get those done by mid may)
--------------------------------
Another thing which is really messing around with my being able to work is; my landlady has decided to renovate every single room of her house. Like this has been going on for a while, but it's been getting kinda overboard lately.
It started with her room, in how it was going to be renovated for her birthday over a month ago, then the tornado (known as her son) started on another bedroom, and now every room of this house is ripped up cept for mine, and it is darn hard to concentrate on essays when you are hearing loud bangs and smashes. smelling the obnoxious fumes from the paints.
Not to mention the need to fix everything not broken, the new router didn't like broadcasting the internets, so I had to get the old one back.
Finals don't mean I have a lot of time to dick around.
--------------------------------
What it does mean is that I am not going to sit on DA 24/7 and endlessly jab my tablet down to hand out more Llamas.
(It was a fun idea, but pushed a bit far... common fancy llama now?)
I spent almost 3 days straight of giving them out endlessly, because it was a LOT of fun, I must have given out between 300-500, and I know that is less than I have received, but I still tried apart from essays and exams, and my general suckage at writing.
But then I got a comment saying along the lines that I wasn't "doing my part" and thus pointed out I gave out 'only 96' in that new function. Now there is a small issue with that number in my mind due to I had to have given out that much before lunch on the first. I know because I brought my laptop to class, and was mashing it with handing out Llamas.
I guess what hurts the most is that after all the llama giving I did, the number it says I 'gave' was so low. And I don't have the time to change it right now due to school work.
-------------------------------
So yeah I am sorry if you are expecting something from me right now, but I just can't deliver. If you want to complain, please go troll someone else, K? Thanks.

Tired 
Here's a site with a small variety of fonts, some of which are free ^^ I did have a question however... is your XM comic actually posted somewhere for the public?? Ive seen tidbits in your gallery(scraps?) months ago
Big deal, it's just another internet fad people need to get over badly. Don't be bothered by them <3.
Anyway! ARE THEY REALLY REDOING THAT ENTIRE HOUSE? The place is like a teeny mansion anyway! With a really pretty chandelier xD. That's obnoxious though. They should at LEAST ask you or give you some kind of discount or something. Who does that when you're studying for finals in your toasty saunaroom?
Good luck with everythingggg! <#33
Also. I have no idea what your icon is, but it's really creepy and kind of love it.
B) I feel you. My finals start next week and don't end until mid May!
I've given out 3600+ badges according to the "numbers". But I've never cared about the exact count of how many I give or how many I have, even if it's fun to follow. My fun lies in commenting on every single person's profile who gives me one, and enjoying the random conversations that ensue here and there. Llamas are a good excuse to go out and interact with other artists, the numbers really shouldn't matter so much to people they start crying if they don't have enough. I've even gotten new watchers and meaningful comments on the few things I've got up on dA, which is pretty significant for a nobody like me.
Getting sick involves a lot of free time when you're not in school, yes?
I am just having SUCH a hard time believing this I feel like my brain is going to explode. Its just so....so dumb!
I'm sorry Kilara that you're obviously not allowed to have fun with the pixels in the corner of your dA page
As for the over-obsessive landlady, I can't really say I've had that happen in such a large scale so I'm not sure what to say but: stick some headphones in your ear when you're trying to work and just let some of your favorite tunes drown out the renovations? It's always better to work to music anyhow.
And finally, lol. The llamas, the trolls, the drAma... Just don't let it get under your skin so much. DevART's obviously got some kind of error going on as far as counting llamas correctly. But that's not the point. They're just llamas, lol. Don't let yourself get worked up over trolls complaining about 8-bit llamas that have absolutely no impact on the majorly important things like your regular life outside of dA. You've got more important things to focus on, so don't let them get you down.
IDK I don't think you should feel bad for not giving out more, You're a busy person. If people take the exchange to serious thats their problem
PS. I AM FOR YOU DOING MORE PERSONAL ART WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME <333
I know who you're talking about and i think it's a super petty reason. Goodness i gave out like...5 and got 166 badges. And you know i also asked for some badges myself, so that must mean. If /you're/ selfish, i'm moreso. And that's awesome. *basks in it*
