- Had an wonderful Birthday (thanks again, everyone)
- Have decided to write a small book on basics of beer appreciation. Aiming for a paperback pocketbook to put out on lulu or something. Not planning on making it too intimidating. We'll see. Writing starts tonight. Insanity for several months will follow. :P ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345085#Comment_345085 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345085#Comment_345085 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 05:35:24 -0800 Fauxhammer
Chugging along on the novel, fixing problems as I go. A friend of mine is willing to do concept art, which is an absolute boon.

I got a new laptop for almost half price. It's Iron Man Red. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345093#Comment_345093 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345093#Comment_345093 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 08:47:49 -0800 flecky

I'm Out the other side of a nasty episode, that crept up on me so I didn't notice it until it was almost over. I must have been terrible to be around for those days. I know when it hit because I got over halfway through a project involving uploads and then just stopped. I didn't even remember I was doing it, just got stuck in a loop in my head and how it wouldn't go down my arms to paper or to software or anything. Numb and Nasty. I shall do the rest soon, but I'm narked because... well I'm narked. Plus I have huge gaps on bits of social media where I think I must have spewed and then (sensibly) deleted things. Not been that bad in years :-(

Upside though - I'm now dealing with notebooks getting filled with words. I'll have to learn how to sell this stuff, because I've lost the pitching knack, but I'm not without funds to keep up with small things because my wonderful parents have sent me christmas money. Just must be careful with it so that it lasts as long as possible. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345111#Comment_345111 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345111#Comment_345111 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:40:03 -0800 mister hex *everyone hugs Flecky*

Seen and interviewed some incredible bands. 2/3 through 2nd edit of my novel. Published my first feature for Mishka, and it was an interview with Ales Kot - pretty chuffed with it, Ales was extremely forthcoming about his work (which, needless to say, I'm nuts about). Life is now FULL of stuff and super busy and I love it. Not around here as much as I'd like but at least I'm staying out of trouble!

@oldhat - I'd read that for a dollar (or ten), keep us posted
@Fauxhammer - would be happy to beta-read once ready, if you need. Keep pushing.
@Flecky - (From other thread) Congrats on 90 days man. Stay strong.

I've decided to kill the thing called Xmas, but this time I'm gonna do it in the style of a bastard who snarls at the normal people - I know, I'm a twat! But I have to be, just to survive the monstrosity of it all.

I'm going to a meeting tonight, so I can stand-up to the adulation of a bunch of humans giving-it-large over the fact that I've not taken any drugs for over 90 days. They will give me a plastic key-ring, molded from recycled pop-bottles, shaped on the thighs of virgins...

AND THE WORLD WILL BE MY SHRIMP! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345318#Comment_345318 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345318#Comment_345318 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:16:26 -0800 razrangel

I got hit by a car on Tuesday (nothing serious, knocked off my bike and scraped my knees) but it was an odd experience. I knew enough take a few minutes to rest, make sure I was actually okay (instinct is to hop up and declare yourself "okay") driver checked on me, and when I said I needed a minute, she declared "I don't know what to do" got into her SUV and drove off.
I'm posting here though cause, well I'm okay, and because 2 pedestrians checked in on me until it was clear both my bike and me were actually fine. One even lived a few doors down and gave me her address in case I needed anything. I'm focusing on their kindness as the take away from the experience. Nice people are out there and ready to help complete strangers!

@flecky - keep it up! even if I can't related, but I am so impressed.
@Scrymgeour - Adulthood? congrats! been trying for years to do that....one day my friend, on day. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345423#Comment_345423 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345423#Comment_345423 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:08:46 -0800 flecky

Progress with counselling, I guess. Doctor says the referral has been made. I'll get a call next month and then it will be 3-6 months before anyone can see me. I'm not a priority since I'm not suicidal or self-harming, so hence the wait. But I've been told that counsellers often feel a bit burnt out having nothing but high-risk folks in, so they might take me on earlier.

Feeling encouraged. The biggest thing is that I do like having that one hour venting period every two weeks. Even if things are going great, it's nice to talk to someone who doesn't have a horse in my race. Or something. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345651#Comment_345651 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345651#Comment_345651 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:44:32 -0800 rough night

Plus I have to go for anger management, so that makes me feel awesome.

I got shitfaced last week, all by myself, after my wife went to bed, because the idea of talking about my frail human emotions makes me spiral.

Can't we just plug something into the skull, and have the brain work like it ought to? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345678#Comment_345678 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345678#Comment_345678 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:12:58 -0800 oldhat
When I'm with someone I don't know whose job it is to listen to me (and it's their job because they want to help people) I'm better at articulating what's going on and do a pretty good job of analyzing it all and coming up with a healthy decision. Really, it's just me ranting and figuring it out on my own while the counseller is there to put in her two cents on if it's a good thing or not.

So I'm with you, it can be tough as hell and nervewracking to let shit out. But if CAN help to at least get it out. I find that even if the problems don't get solved, letting out my frustration with them can be enough to get me even again. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345705#Comment_345705 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345705#Comment_345705 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 02:37:28 -0800 razrangel
Finally voice acting workout. Not a coaching - paying someone to kick me in the ass until I improve (very necessary, very useful, somewhat painful, temptingly demoralizing), and not a workshop - sometimes time on the mic, but also lessons/lectures/Q&A that I've heard all before. Just a workout, get copy, hop in the booth, get direction, take after take until it's good.

Only downsides were that the kids taking the workout talked about their own anime habits nonstop. Really I just felt out in the cold, not part of the hardcore culture of the younger anime geek set. But that's ok. They're sweet...and easy to tune out.

The director was Tony "Rick Hunter" Oliver and he's a pretty sweet guy with a zillion credits to his name in acting and directing. He made sure to talk to me after the evening (evening Hah! we went past midnight which is was awesome on his part and the support staff, including engineers) and kept patting me on the arm and encouraging me to break out, get out of my head and really push myself to let go of timidity and go nuts. }:> I've gotten that note before but that was the kindest, warmest version. }:>

Just feel really great...once again. I love this stuff. I really need to kick my ass and get my career in gear. But even a bad day in the booth is better than any day at a desk ever was so... that's all there is to, right? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345766#Comment_345766 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10923&Focus=345766#Comment_345766 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 08:13:04 -0800 flecky
