that feeling when you wash your face with cleanser every night, use face toner, moisturize, and then find a pimple in the morning  :I

that feeling when you make beautiful thumbprint jam cookies and your sister decides to eat around the jam. :I

get outta my house

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person who has a problem with strangers. Like, generally, I don’t want to be forced into meeting total strangers. I don’t want them in my space or in my house, spending the night. I do not feel comfortable and I feel self conscious and God, who came up with the rule that ‘family’ can’t be strangers? THEY CAN. THEY SO CAN. If I have never met my father’s cousin’s daughter and her husband, they are STRANGERS.

I feel like I should be justified in being uncomfortable, I don’t care that being Indian kinda dictates that you’re not allowed to and all family members no matter how distant, are welcome anytime, all the time. People can just invade your house for as long as they want. It’s massively irritating.

But I guess this is what happens when you’re an introverted and mostly anti-social person coming from a culture that thrives on being social. Still, don’t like it. At all.

And you know what, I don’t want to have dinner and uncomfortable small talk with these strangers either. Not one bit. I scarcely like to have small talk and dinner with the relatives I DO know. I hate this pressure, hate it haaaate iiiittt.

In other news, I am trying to put things on Society 6 and it’s not nearly as easy as RedBubble, booooo.

me: no you don't understand, when I say I want an onion bagel and plain schmear I mean I want A LOT of schmear like at least half a tub of schmear -- basically the ratio of bagel to schmear should be the same like thats what I want. :/

einstein bros bagel guy: ....um

When you’re already kinda late for something and you had the world’s fastest shower, but then you can’t get your bra on because your back is wet. :/

I kind of really hate it when two pimples on my face decide to join forces.

When you’re watching a Kdrama heroine/hero get sent to America as punishment for something for the hundredth time and then you look over at your Korean college friends with sudden suspicion.

new tablet

Mehhhh, I had to buy a new tablet because the old one was really lagging my photoshop D: It’s so hard to get used to a new one! I used the old one for the past six years. I know it’s just a matter of practice and getting familiar with the new one, but IT’S A PAIN.

It did come with Painter Essentials 5 though, so perhaps I will experiment with painterly things hrrrmmmm

mac update from hell

Oh good God, I am so, so glad I have a place to be a whiny complainer now.

So basically I have this macbook laptop, right, and when the OS El Capitan update came out I was like

“Um, no thank you, Capitan.”

And that was that. But especially in the past two weeks, my browsers decided to start staging a coup against me. Safari would crash every day and I was murdering Chrome tabs like a military dictator left and right and then the FINAL STRAW was when my tumblr chat feature stopped working.

Let me tell you, nothing drives a person crazy like knowing you should be able to do something, but not being able to do it. Did I use tumblr instant messaging every day? Nope. But the minute it was gone, it was like life had suddenly become unbearable. WHY WHY WAS THIS HAPPENING. El Capitan, obviously, squeezing the fist of control.

Sigh.

So I got the update and the download took about 2 hours. Then the install took another three hours and this damn laptop restarted and booped and flashed bright screens and then black screens all the damn night. And THEN when I woke up in the morning (okay more like 11 am ) I got a bunch of messages saying that my software was no longer compatible with ol’ El Capitan.

My tablet. My scanner. My After Effects. Other Stuff I Would Maybe Need in the Future.

Not gonna lie, I may have gotten into the fetal position on my bed for a little while and clutched at my Cafe Rilakkuma while I pondered the costs of buying a new scanner and tablet, but eventually I got my shit together and hunted the internet for driver updates that would save my software. Now its the end of the day and I think I’ve saved everything…I’m still testing it out. But damn was that a horrible night/morning. D:

welcome to pompeii

Hi guys! Some of you may be more familiar with my sketch/fanart blog www.pompeiiablaze.tumblr.com !  If you aren’t, why not take a look? But anyways, I figured it was time I have a side blog where I can post whatever I want, reblog whatever I want, follow whoever I want without compromising my ‘mostly art’ blog as I’ve tried to keep it. Also, it gives me a place to be utterly boring and not worry about whether or not I am driving away my followers. :D SPAMTASTIC.

You might find some art here, some writing, fandom stuff,  reblogs, boring crap about my daily life, photos, lame things, and more! Follow if you like, unfollow if you don’t…s’all good baby.
