Last time I updated my journal, I may have mentioned a job I had...yeah, that's not a thing anymore. I quit. 

So guess who's back in the job market!! I'm applying everywhere from Walmart to Starbucks to GameStop and a handful of local comic book shops...it's only been a couple days, but it's kind of nice just being able to shamelessly sit around free of responsibility. As a result, I've been back to producing various pieces of work...but more of them are actual sketches and drawings. I'm experiencing a lot of frustration following the release of the first chapter of Naruto Gaiden. I envy those who are coming in late to enjoy this mini-series because the rest of us got the first chapter and sat at our computers with bated breath waiting for chapter two...only to be presented with the crushing realization that the following week was Golden Week over in Japan. So...two weeks and no chapter two. I wanted to die the whole time. I used drawing as an outlet and ended up buying a pretty high-end sketchbook so I could keep everything together. Out of the 75 pages in the new sketchbook, I've filled up 32 of them. Of those 32 pages used, 12 of them are Naruto-themed. I've drawn mostly Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada, and Gaara... (lots of Sarada...GOD I want to hug that girl and cry with her xD I've never connected with an anime character so deep down...Jesus, all these feels q.q) Just...so much Naruto Gaiden. I need answers, god damnit!! I'm going full weeb over here all over again!! 

It isn't just me and other readers suffering...I've pulled Jake (my boyfriend) into this clusterfuck as well. I was so frustrated because I don't have anyone I can freak out to (the friend I would ordinarily freak out with kind of rolled her car five times and broke her neck a couple weeks ago...she's doing just fine - she's already home with a shiny new body brace - but I'm all for prioritizing her healing over my emotional turmoil). So far I have him almost 90 episodes into part 1 and I think it's beginning to take its toll...I found Itachi's Sunny Side Battle on YouTube and made him watch it...he laughed as hard as I did and he doesn't even know the truth about Itachi. Or about Sasuke. Or Danzo. Or anything. He admitted it seemed like just a horrible acid trip had babies with fried eggs or something. Bluh. This mini-series is going to be the death of me, I swear. 

Until then...my new art and writing will have to get me by. It's time to get back to uploading, too.
