New and improved and living in Harlem!

Now, if you read the title you're probably think, Harlem? Is that any place for the whitest girl ever to be living? But it's actually a nice area, and I love my apartment. Everything is brand new, and it's HUGE. Four bedroom, with one and a half bathrooms, a nice living room, and a full kitchen. It's a bit of a mess since Alex went home and left his stuff here, and I just checked out of my dorm today, so I haven't really unpacked yet either.
So it's been a whole year since I updated! Wow. I just finished my first year at SVA, the school of visual arts, or the school of vicious adoration. It was great, I feel like I learned so much in their Cartooning program. I did neglect my webcomic but I was so busy. It's no excuse, I know, but the work load was kinda crazy. I'm happy I transferred here though. I know I would've been miserable at Pratt. I'm taking some summer classes too, Cartooning Hothouse and Abnormal Psychology. I have so many credits I won't have to go full time my senior year!
I've been working at this place called Ricky's, for those of you that don't know it's a cosmetic/beauty supply store with professional hair products, costumes and even an adult room. It's a fun place to work but the pay is shit, I made the same at Burger King in Buffalo! I got more hours there too. It seems like its time to get another job, especially since I owe my roommate Chris money and rent will be due before long.
Tomorrow my mom and aunt come to visit, then I go home to Buffalo with my mom for a week on Thursday. I'll be glad to see my family and my friends since I haven't been there since Christmas break! Hopefully I can get some of my friends from there up to visit here.
Updates on my comic hopefully soon, I'm using "borrowed" wireless (whoever has a network called "Manon" thank you!) and Dreamweaver forgot my ftp password which I need to update, meaning I also forgot it. Oops!
Bye for now!

Smell you guys later!

Last post at school! They're just about ready to kick us out of the dorms. I've been weepy all day :( To all my friends here (you know who you are) I will miss you dearly, but we will see each other again! I got aim now, so if you want to talk online FragileProduct is my sn. Love love love!

*Insert Clever Title Here*

So I just updated my webcomic, hmm about 16 hours late. Sorry about that. I was so caught up in my pysch report about Multiple Personalities, or Dissociative Identity Disorder, as its now called, I totally spaced. But thats done now, and it was the last school related project I had to finish! Now comes the week of goofing off until they let us graduate from here. Phew. What a year.

So here's the plug-I, like many webcomics, now have a donation wallpaper! So if you feel like supporting me for a dollar, or just want a sweet background, go here. Thankies!

Love is T-shirts

I know I haven't posted in a while, but this will be a short one. The end of the year is approaching and I'm a bit stressed out. I did find time to do a t-shirt design for Threadless.com, so please vote on it!

They're Building A Coffin Your Size

Oi Oi! I gots me a store. It has a few products in it with the fragile productions logo on it. Go check it out!

More excitingness for me-I got my acceptance letter from SVA! So I'll be in NYC in fall as a sophmore again. They have a huge cartooning staff so I'm sure I'll get much better there :) Look forward to it!

Sunburnt in the Snow

I’m writing this on the train to publish later, headed to Utica from my spring break. I’m glad to be going back-there’s only so much of my parents I can take!-but I do wish I could have had more time with my friends. I spent most of the week in Florida. My uncle won a trip to Sea World and gave it to my family. I loved seeing the dolphins and whales and manatees, and I got to pet stingrays and a penguin! We also made a point to go to Universal, where I got to go on rides with my dad. The lines were awful but it was worth it. We also got to see both sets of grandparents and our old neighbors who moved down there about two years ago. I had to share a bed with my sister at the hotel, and she kicks. Every time she kneed me in the back, I woke up and punched her. Don’t mess with me when I’m sleepy! hehe I got tons of pressed pennies, not sure the exact count, but its probably close to 80! It’s getting to be an expensive obsession, but I love them and they’re really the only thing I collect :) The last day there I took the trolley by myself and went to the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum, which is awesome. Two headed animals and voodoo dolls were a nice way to end my vacation.

I watched the movie Shortbus, by the same director as Hedwig, with Cat and Brian last night. It was really funny-a favorite quote of mine from it is “I used to want to change the world, but now I just want to leave the room with a little bit of dignity”.

I put a warranty on my lucky printer today. Why is it lucky you ask? Because the guy who sold it to me gave me his number. It was my first number ever, I was very proud haha. I remember when I was with Clay he had a jar full of numbers. So I called the guy, Karl, but he hasn’t called me back yet-who told him I was crazy?

Oh, the pain...hahaha

These last couple weeks have been...interesting. I've been lied to, played and backstabbed. But I have my health, right? :D That's a joke. I feel sick every time I eat. Also in the last week I've seen three long term relationships dissolve, and I am beginning to wonder, is it worth it? Today would have been my five year anniversary with Clay, although we weren't really dating. I've begun to think that I'm undatable!

All that aside, I went on Top Web Comics and found that I'm number 381! I actually have about 176 votes, so if you've been voting for me, thank you! If not, and you would like to, please vote for me (I'm on page four now).

Oh Internet, I love/hate you

The internet's finally back! It's been out since Thursday *cries* so now that it's back, my comic is finally updated! Hooray! My gallery opening went well, I got the new comic done in time and made 10 dollars, not much I know, but enough to help pay for dinner. We went to Uno's and it was amazing-I had the steak and shrimp. Cheryl was sad the guy she likes didn't show up, but everyone that I wanted there was there :D thanks guys!

That's all for now-gotta go to Psychology!

Design Procedures class is a hoot

Hooray for finishing projects early and goofing off! So I'm 20 now, as of Monday. Do I feel different? No, not really :D My ex actually texted me on my birthday and surprised the hell outta me. Still don't think I ever want to see him again though :P Cheryl and Alex made me an ice cream cake under Alex's roommate Sean's supervision (it's his recipe). It was delicious!

Despite how happy I was on my birthday, I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen, or maybe it has happened and I don't know about it? It's weird. Broke out my tarot deck the other day and pulled some interesting cards-they tell me that my problem is a female but to have optimism (thank you sun card!)

Soon I will have a new comic to put up on my website-I've been working my butt off to finish it in time for Cheryl and my gallery opening on Sunday at Melodic Revolution in Clinton, NY (near Utica) Six more pages and a cover-think I can make it? *falls over dead* I'll be damned if I don't try!

Can One Person Make a Decision for Two?

Man, I just thought the "lets just be friends" line was only used in movies. Was I ever wrong! I learned this week that it's better not to try. hmmm...that doesn't seem right, does it?

Oh well, my January submission for "wonder" on the Word It site is up, go check it out (it's the two at the bottom of the page) and I also have another comic in the College Crier. I think it's going to be a monthly thing, at least until I go back to Buffalo where there is no Crier. My gallery opening with my lovely roomate Cheryl is coming up too, but what day it is, I couldn't tell you ^^;;

That's it for now, we're gonna run and get some brunch before the cafeteria closes!

Arg.

Today's blog is brought to you by the need to vent and the number 3!

The feeling in my stomach can only be described as an icicle prodding from the inside. I can barely eat. Everything makes me gag. I threw up orange juice yesterday, which I didn't even know was possible!

I feel lost and confused. I hate being the only one in the world to seem to know what she wants, and I hate the fact that I can see the patheticness in others that I once killed in myself. Sorry to be vague. *hits head against wall*

But my birthday's coming up, so I'm going to try to be positive. I can't be sad on my birthday!

Emo Kids Smell Funny and I Hate Them.

Not really ALL of them! I just wanted to comment on how I seem to keep getting older as the other people going to concerts get younger and more annoying. I mean come on, do you have to scream along with every word?! Do you really like this band, because to me it seems like you want to drown them out with your awful-ass singing. But it was nice to get out and see a show with Cat and Litney, Kill Hannah is always awesome and The Pink Spiders was cool.

I'm glad break's almost done with, although I've been having anxiety about going back. I couldn't sleep last night. I went to bed at 3 like normal but just layed there for hours. When I finally fell alseep I got a few hours in before I jolted awake for no reason at 11 am. Today I helped out my dad at the antique mall, which was pretty cool. I love looking at all the stuff there. Then tonight we had a fairly large table at Denny's, where we recounted our favorite Toole memories (I'll never forget you burned that picture of the Pope!) Good times.

In other news, I have finally proven my theory about the conspiracy against girls with big boobs. After size C, they stop making bras with pretty patterns! Damn you, bra industry! I did find a nice push up that Cat convinced me to buy, although it was a bit pricey. Just when I thought my boobs couldn't look any more amazing! hahaha. (I'm not joking)

I Came, I Saw, I Ate

What have I been doing with my winter break? Well, since you didn’t ask, I’ll tell you that I have been putting all my energy into eating my parents out of house and home. After a semester of dealing with awful college buffet food, I need to unshrink my stomach. I was home for about ten minutes before I was into the cupboards. As long as my mom continues to stock up on fruit snacks and Pringles, I’m all set. Eating pickles at 3 am in my underwear? Why not? Plus, my uncle gave me a package of jerky about the size of a baby (I just compared jerky to a baby, what are you gonna do about it?!) Between that and egg-drop ramen (cook up the package with a scrambled egg-it’s good!), I have about 5 times the normal amount of sodium in my body. If I don’t make it back for next semester, you’ll know what happened. I have no regrets! And on a somewhat related note, my darling friend Cat, who took me out for dinner (are you surprised?) helped me realize that I shouldn’t feel bad for my feelings. I’m a passionate person. That’s how I roll, bitches. Now where’s my jerky?

Can I go back to School Yet?

I've been home a full day and I've had my fill. :( But school's been so full of drama and bullshit. *weighs options* hmm...At least I've finally figured out how to get online at my house! My comic's finally updated (only 16 hours after I usually do but it's still Saturday) and it's actually not too uncomfortable to work on a wobbly little end table. My grandma's 83 birthday is today and we are going out to dinner. Too bad my parents didn't decide to tell me until last night, after I had already made plans to visit my friends at Fredonia. I'm still going, just after dinner, but still, you think my mother would have told me during her numerous phone calls to me this last week. I think it's slightly more important that asking me if I wanted to get my hair cut, which she actually did. Here's hoping I have enough anime to last me until break's over!

I love NY

Ah where to begin...NYC in a nutshell, was fun, we got soaked during the parade and trampled at Macy's but I got some nice clothes and finally got to go to MOMA. The rest of break was alright, it was good to see some of my friends. I'm glad to be here for a couple more weeks though, although I have been working non stop and haven't got much sleep. I got 3 hours last night, 4 the night before, and 2 the night before that! Most of my projects are due next week and it's freaking me out a bit. However, the College Crier emailed with flattery and requests for more comics :D The comic that will be in this month's paper is also tomorrow's update.

Tomorrow is the craft show at our school. We went to Cheryl's house to make some cookies to sell. I'm also selling some jewelry and cards. Hopefully there will be a good turnout.

My Word It for December is up-The first one on page 2! Now I'm off to see if Photoshop will cooperate so I can do my Typography!

Have a Good Turkey Day!

Tomorrow I leave for home for my week long Thanksgiving break, and I have no idea if I'll be able to get internet there. So with that in mind, I posted this week's comic a day early. Yes, my dad actually says that. This week will probably prove to be quite busy, I have some friends to see, I'm going to my first Sabres Hockey game, and I'm heading to NYC for the parade on Wednesday. Hopefully I will get over this awful cold (Thanks, Alex ><) by then. Oh, and if anyone is getting PS3, can I come over?

I'm a Celibrity!

Haha, not really. However, My comic has been published in this month's College Crier! Otherwise, this week has been a blur of FFXII, Guitar Hero II, and getting hit in the face with a soccer ball. This week's comic features the return of the smoker guy from Fragile Productions #1! Be sure to check it out :)

Graffiti Penises

...is what we saw going into Brooklyn this morning. Didn't sleep last night because of the bus trip today. We left at 6 because it takes 5 hours to get there. It would have been a beautiful day to wander around Manhatten, but noooo, we had to get yaked at by Pratt Brooklyn staff all day. Since I don't plan on going there, it was pretty boring for me, and just assured me that there was no cartooning program for me. Oh, and they have cockroaches, and the room we saw was like a prison cell.
Going back in time, Halloween was fun at the gay bar, and I had a good weekend at home, got to see Cat and Angi and my family. The Impact Gallery reception was nice, though I didn't win it was still great that I even got in. I've been playing FFXII and so far it is the shit. I want to be playing it now, but I'm opting for bed (gasp! before midnight?!) so I can get some work done tomorrow. Good night!

Almost Halloween!

This weekend was fun-We saw Little Miss Sunshine for a dollar on Friday and it was amazing, then watched Final Destination 3 and Pulse (which I slept through). Saturday we went shopping and watched scary movies on tv, like Ghost Ship, while getting ready for our school dance. I dressed up as Souseiseki again. The dance was kinda lame (with no food!) so we changed and went to the gay club. We had a blast and plan to go back for the Tim Burton themed dance Tuesday.

I got a profile at Cosplay.com!

My entry for this month's Word It is up (it's near the bottom)

Keep Away From Me!

It's not that I don't love you, I just have the stomach flu :( I was fine this morning, ready to start my long day (drawing 9-4, english 6-9). Close to lunch time I started feeling sick, and I threw up in the bathroom. I left class to go back to the dorms and hopefully sleep it off. It didn't help, instead I was waking up every half hour to run the bathroom and throw up some bile. Yeah, It was pretty gross. Cheryl got back and took me to the nurse, where I was able to get some drugs. Then I found out english was cancelled. Lucky me, because I hadn't done my poems and was in no shape to do anything anyway. Now I've managed to keep down some soup, and hopefully I'll be able to get to Visual Communications. Talking to Cat made me feel better too.

So the other night I pulled what was my first all nighter in a long time, going to denny's with alex and cheryl for Alex's 21st birthday and writing my entire art history report. Needless to say, we were quite loopy for the next day :D

That's all for today, now I'm off to vector some shit.
