~ USERNAME CHANGE? ~

Ok as you all are probably aware of, DA has now made it so permium members can change their username for a small fee. I've seen that a few people on my watch list have changed theirs (I hope I can remember who's who ) And I've been wondering, should I change mine?

If I did I could propbably change it to Captain-Smiffy or CaptainSMIFFY or something along those lines because that's a tag line i've been going with recently.

The thing is I don't know if I want to change it. I've been SMIFFYizDAbest for the past 4 and a bit years and not only that but I'm SMIFFYizDAbest on Youtube and Fanfiction.net. I'm aware you can change your pen name on Fanficiton. But you can't on youtube _{not that I make that many vids anymore} but that's beside the point. I mean most of you guys refer to me as just Smiffy anyway, well unless you know my real name.

I think it's more of the fact that because you CAN change it I WANT to... but you can't change it back... so if I grew sick of my username I could never be SMIFFYizDAbest again .... hmmmm.....

~ ARTWORK ~

I'm on the last leg of getting these couples done I have 7 and a half to finish and I know I said it would be done by now but a lot popped up last week, my work has been giving me more later shifts and once I've got in and had something to eat it's around 10ish and I don't really feel up to working on anything too complicated but I will get there. I recon I will get a couple done this week, but we'll have to see as I have stocktake on Wednesday and a few late shifts the rest of the week but like I said we'll see, they will get done and then I'll try to make up for it as it's obvious not many people are interested or they've lost interest.

I've sketched half of the ponies for my pony pic, I'll scan them all in once I've done all of them. Though I've been slightly sidetracked by drawing Numbskull and Smarty Pants as human and other pics with them that were listed in my latest poll, but I can't help it they're so easy to draw, but the good thing about them is they don't take long to do so I might do some pony artwork after I've finished the couple project. As I have Numbskull and Smarty's children to introduce - yes more pony OCs but eh they're fun to make.

I managed to get all I needed to make the armour for my figurines so probably next month, after my birthday I will get to work on them. I will probably save Spiked Tiger for last as she will be the most complicated what with all her spikes, Wolborg will probably be the easyist as I will need to change Cas' fur since he's grey with white stripes, I did want to get some glow in the dark paint for them since they're supposed to glow, maybe I'll have to have another look in other craft shops.

I've been in a decopatch mood again too thanks to something I saw on TV. I bought another penguin to do, but this time smaller and a teddy bear I wanted to get a peacock as I found some amazing paper to use for it's tail, I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for them, or try making my own... I think the wire I got to help mold the clay, will also double as whiskers for the leopard mask I decopatched, I will have to take photos and show you guys if anyone's interested, I think it looks pretty cool, I wish they did a tiger pattern as then I would make another one.

Ok I've not really been in the writing mood for yonks now, but hopefully once I've got this couple project out of the way and a few more things off of my to-do-list I will get back into it. I think what put me off is I'm not the best writer in the world I mean I've been told that my stories don't flow properly and that I spend too much time discribing the characters rather than focusing on the story, well excuse me that's how I was taught but anyway I know my spelling and grammar's a pain too but I will try and get better.

I have the Elemental series to finish and I will finish it even if I have to ask Kayla to keep on at me about it until I write it all. Once the others are done I will go back and set the first one out in the formatt that they others will be in as it reads better. I look back on the other stories I've written and just see a mass of paragraphs, it gives me a headache just looking at it. I still have a few stories I want to write based on rps me and Kayla did and I know she was thinking of writing up one of them too.

But once that's done I've decided I'm going to go back over Tari's story and re-write it, adding in Ryo and maybe even changing a bit of it. I will keep the story the same as it has all of my OCs in, but I might do a prequel or do Ryo's story with an AU bit where Tari and Aidan get together, I'll have to see what Kayla says as she was talking about or mentioned us writing something together so we'll have to see what happens on that front. I want to try and do some stories or oneshots with my other OCs too, especally Rose and Cadi, so watch this space...

~ CINEMA ~

I went with my cousins to see The Avengers Assemble yesterday and what a hassle that was. I had booked and paid for the tickets online thinking that would save time just incase my cousin was late picking me up. But she was early, the show didn't start till 16:00, and we got there at 15:05 so we thought we were making good time until we walked into the cinema and saw the que was nearly out the door, I walked up to the machines to claim our tickets but they were both out of order, so we joined the que. Apparrently they had had a fire drill that morning and it had wiped their computers so they were doing everything by hand. We finally got served at 15:35 and were handed three handwritten tickets.

Then we went and qued for popcorn and drinks and then went to get in as it had gone 4, but when we tried to get in the woman told us it had been delayed until 16:45, so we had a good 40 minute wait yet, we went and sat down and were a bit annoyed as it meant our popcorn would be cold, we wished they had told us when we got our tickets. About 10 minutes later they got us to all que up and we were standing in that que for about 30 minutes before they let us into the screen. But even then a man came in and told us it would be another 10 minute delay. The film actually started about 17:10 - which is ironic as they was the other showing me and my cousins were going to go too.

The one good thing out of it was they gave us a free 3D ticket to any film of our choice at any cinema so I guess that's my ticket to Men In Black 3 taken care of. But the film was good and worth the wait. Though if you didn't know about the Marvel universe you would have been a bit lost like my cousin Paige was. Luckily I knew most of it from watching the old Marvel shows on Fox Kids, and my other cousin knew more as he'd seen Thor, Iron Man and Captain America - which he suggested I watch. So all in all it was a bit of an experiance.

~ HOMELIFE ~

Earlier in the week I re-arranged my room because I was complaining about not having any space, so my mum helped me sort it all out I now have another chest in my room and some more DVD towers - seriously though I have enough DVDs to start my own DVD store. I have a new chair as well as my mum and dad broke my other one by leaning on the back of it whenever they came in to annoy me. I'm still getting used to the new set up but I think by a few weeks I will be used to it, or at least I hope I will be.

Work's been a pain recently my boss is just being a real so and so to everyone. She's created these new rules that certain people aren't allowed to work with each other as they talk. Like for example I can't work with Paul or Sam as we talk too much, and on Wednesday I was just chatting to Caz in the wherehouse and she had a go. What does she expect? For us all to work in silence? I mean as long as the work gets done who cares if we talk to each other... but anyway that was one thing the other was I keep making mistakes on the till, only little ones like not giving correct change or not putting paypoint through the till, but my mangers had enough and has threatened me with a disaplinary, I turned around and said if she was sick of me making mistakes on the till she shouldn't put me on there anymore, simple as that.

But she's insitant that I'm the only one who makes mistakes, I'm sorry but no one's perfect, I mean to error is human. she just gets on my nerves I mean I came home the other day and cried my eyes out as she had shouted at me in front of customers about the fact my till was down - by £1! Big friggin woop, but seriously that woman has no people skills. Everyone complains about her and we can't go to the higher bosses as they all think she's wonderful and the last time someone tried it they told her and we all got another ear full... I just want to leave but as I'm starting to learn to drive it's a good place to be as it's steady money... so I'm caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment...

And the fun just contines at home. My mum and dad have been arguing again, it's the same old arguments about my dad filling the house with his crap. He's a carpenter and he works for himself but we have wood in he house, up the stairs, in the dining room... everywhere. He also has his hobbys - he does stuff on the radio, I can't remember what its' called but it's to do with what he does with his loser friends, he spends all his evenings on his radio talking to the other sad gits or he's making raido's or packing up parts to sell on ebay - we have so much cardboard and bubble wrap in our house... I hate our house it's a pig stye, the only  time I leave my room is to get something to eat or leave the house, I hardly ever sit downstairs mainly because there's no room. Me and my mum wish he would just push off and take his mess with him.

My dad argues that my mum does nothing around the house, but she's never here. She works monday to friday 9-6, tuesday evenings she does her rainbow girl guide group, monday, wednesday, friday and saturday nights she works at her second job and on sunday she has her youth groups. So the washing piles up, the cutlery piles up and stuff like that. I try and help out but there's only so much I can do as I work 30 hours a week and then if I want to get my art work done I usually let that go first. But now I go the the gym twice a week on thursday and sunday and I've started to learn to drive so I don't have that much time either. But today my mum said she wished she could burn the garge (where most of my dad's crap is) down with him inside and my dad said he wished he could burn the house down with my mum inside and then complained that I did f*ck all...

I'm sick of them arguing they say they're seperated, I wish they would just move away from each other as this isn't helping me, I mean I don't really like my dad, we get on sometimes but I get on better with my mum, sometimes I just wish it was us two on out own... but then even we argue... so then I wish I wasn't here... I sometimes think things would be a lot better if I wasn't around or had never been born... I mean my mum always wanted kids but my dad never showed any interest...

I've never really been one for suicide... but lately I've been so down at work and home I just wish it would all go away.....
