I saw this over on Majime's journal on FurAffinity and I thought it looked cool so I snagged it and decided to have Tala and Nash answer the questions hope it's not too dull

OC Interview Meme: Tala [link]
(well it's probably more like a fursona interview since this is Tala we're talking about, that and a lot of things that relate to her relate to me since she is my fursona after all )

1.Who are you?
- My name is Tala, and...I guess you can just call me Tala *grins*

2.What do you do for a living?
- As of the moment...I'm doing the college thing, don't have a job right now

3.What’s your weight, height and nationality?
- weight? lets see...I'm around 130 lbs and I stand around 5' 4" nationality would be American, I call Texas home. As far as nationality goes for blood I'm a bit of a mixed breed being part maned wolf and part gray wolf, so I guess that makes me half South American and half North American, all American either way

4.Are you dating anyone special?
- hmmm...maybe *glances over at Nashoba with a grin*

5.If you had to pick one song to describe you what would it be?
- probably "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

6.What’s the craziest thing you've ever done in your life?
- craziest thing I've ever done would be racing this kid in a silver Honda Civic down the interstate at night topping out around 120mph...and that was without a radar detector too!

7.What’s the worst thing you've ever done in your life?
- worst thing I've ever done would probably be getting an MIP around 6 months before I was legal...brilliant I know

- that would have to be Nashoba, he's a fun guy to hang out with, even when he acts like a butthead

- Well I definitely want a family someday, probably at least a couple kids running around and I certainly want to marry the love of my life. I'd also like to find and restore an old 1969 Mustang Mach 1

17.Do you have any enemies?
- enemies?! not that I know of *glances around with wide eyes*

18.Do you have a criminal record and what for if you do?
- uh...does the MIP count? Minor in Posession, not sure if that's really criminal but it's on my record, darn Smirnoff Raspberry Burst bottle it just wouldn't get out of my paw quick enough

19.What’s something that no one knows about you, not even your closest friends?
- not sure...either my friends know certain things about me or my family does and between them they know everything there is to know about me, even if one party doesn't know something the other does

20.Do you have any pets?
- yeppers, a German Shepherd and two leopard geckos

OC Interview Meme: Nashoba [link]

1.Who are you?
Nashoba, though I prefer to be called Nash. Only family members and Tala get to call me Nashoba *glares*

2.What do you do for a living?
- mechanic, love working for a local Chevy house, that and I'll eventually get back to the college thing

3.What’s your weight, height and nationality?

4.Are you dating anyone special?
- yep, Tala...so paws off

5.If you had to pick one song to describe you what would it be?
- "I'm Still a Guy" by Brad Paisley, that's definitely me

- acting like an ass to Tala, though I'm maturing as time goes by, I'll eventually get things right and be the man she wants and deserves

8.Do you regret anything?
- yes, acting a fool and trying to be cool when all I really should have done was just be myself

9.Who is your best friend?
- That'd probably be Tala, she loves me for who I am and doesn't expect me to be anything more or less

10.What’s your favorite food?
- steak! a big ol' chunk of steak, seasoned up nice and tossed on the grill, gotta be cooked medium

11.Favorite Drink?

17.Do you have any enemies?
- anyone who tries to muscle in on my territory *looks over at Tala with a grin* they'll get their teeth knocked in

18.Do you have a criminal record and what for if you do?
- miraculously I don't, don't know how that happened, course I should probably knock on some wood now

19.What’s something that no one knows about you, not even your closest friends?
- no secrets here, not that I know of anyway, and if I do they're a secret to me too

20.Do you have any pets?
- nope, that's Tala's area of expertise, anything she's got or wants I'm happy with and if she wants to I'll call them mine as well

Hey guys, this is pretty long but please if you have time (esp my commissioners) please please please read over it. I'm doing this really for y'all's benefit. Anyone else, well it might help you understand why I've really only been lurking and responding to comments lately.


okay...so...here's the deal. College is sapping ALL of my energy, and I'm really gonna have to bust my ass (even more since I've already been doing that) and put in 200% more now to get through this final month of work. I think come May 10th I will be TOTALLY done, with Finals and everything (that's the Saturday after Finals week - using this date since I don't know my Final schedule yet and I might have one on Friday, hope not, but ya never know, they schedule our Finals weird).

I've currently got two Ds out of five classes. I've GOT to pull those grades up if I can, I need both of these classes. Psychological Statistics is one of the requirements for my Major and General and Quantitative Chemistry is a prerequisite for a few of my Animal Science courses. I literally cannot take anymore Animal Science courses until I pass this class, it sucks, but I gotta do it.

A D is technically passing, but it'll pull my GPA down (even more) and I CANNOT afford that, it's currently a 2.11. Yeah it sucks, I know, bad decisions back a few semesters ago did it to me. It used to be a 3.46, so yeah...I'm TRYING to pull it back up since if it drops below a 2.0 I'll be on Academic Suspension for the next year. Meaning I won't be able to take ANY classes at ANY college for a year, meaning I'll have to get a full time job in the mean time, which I'm not sure (since I've only had a part time job along with being a full time student) but that might sap even more of my energy, depending on the job I guess. I don't mind working, buuuuut I'd rather be working on my education. I'm finally in a position where I'm EXCITED about college and I get a class like this Chemistry class that just fucks everything up, or it's trying to.

I went today and talked with my Chemistry and Statistics instructors and I've at least got to keep trying until the drop date, which is Friday, April 25th. If I haven't pulled my two grades up to at least a C (which is passing and will count in the long run) then I'll have to drop them, which will free up a TON of time for me seeing as then I'll only have 2 classes to work on, the two classes I'm passing no problem (I'll have to drop my Chemistry 101 if I drop my General Chemistry class since it's a co-requisite and they HAVE to be taken together - so that's why I'm really only failing two classes out of five right now, but if I drop I have to drop three all together, confusing I know, I'm sorry. If you kept up with all of that then kudos to you).

So if I drop it'll free up my time before May 10th, buuuuut it'll mean I'll have to do Statistics and Chemistry OVER again (so it'll have been a waste of time and money) annnnd I won't be eligible for Student Loans anymore. The lesser of two evils I guess, one being drop over 67% of my attempted courses for Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 together and loose out on Student Loans for the next year (I think it's a year and not forever), OR have my GPA fall below a 2.0 and not be able to attend college for the next year in which I'll still be eligible for Student Loans BUT that's kind of pointless at that point.

Sooooo, what does all of this mean? It means what little energy I have now, is going to be gone for the next couple weeks or until I drop because I'm going to put EVERYTHING I have into studying and working on those two Ds to get them up to a couple Cs at least, and to get my other classes HOPEFULLY into the A or at LEAST the B range so that if I do get a couple Cs then my GPA won't fall any more or not too far, I hope. If I end up dropping, well I think I'll get one A and one B in my two remaining classes, I think, I might get a couple As or at the worse a couple Bs, but even that will pull my GPA up some, which would help, but I'd LOVE to pass these two classes so I can move on and not have to redo them.

Now the reason I've wanted my commissioners (at least them) to read through all of that, is that I'm going to say that until May 10th I probably won't be able to do much of anything on any art what so ever. Or I'm going to say I WON'T be be able to, period. No contests, no drawing for fun, and unfortunately no commissions either. I hope y'all understand because I REALLY need to put my energies (what I have left anyway) into my school work right now.

I'm doing this for two reasons: 1) I need to put all I can into my classes obviously, and 2) I want to give y'all what you're paying for, not some half ass hurried piece of crap.

If I go ahead and try to do your art right now, I promise you, not matter how hard I try, it won't be as good as it could be. I'm in a serious art rut as it is right now (stress induced I think, thanks to school), I've only gotten a few pieces out in over a month (three being for the Gather contests over on Crescent Weyr and one being a new Gargoyle character that literally came to me in a dream and I just HAD to get him on paper). But even those works took me around 10 or 12 tries A PIECE to get on paper the way I wanted, and even then the only two that I'm really satisfied with is my entry for the Dragon Contest on CW and my new Garg character, or I'm satisfied enough, they both could have been better.

I hope y'all understand, I'm not backing out, but it's definitely taking me a LOT longer than I ever expected. I had a feeling back in December when I decided to open for commissions that I should probably wait or at least only take those that I could get done before this term started, but I thought against it. I should have followed that gut feeling, I'm sorry, y'all have waited way longer than you should have, I'm not being very professional and for that I apologize. I just don't think an apology makes up for it. Again I'm not backing out, just letting y'all know it'll probably be around the beginning of May before I'll be able to get any work done.

I'll have three whole weeks of NOTHING to do starting on May 10th (or a few days before depending on when my last Final is) so I should have at least two whole weeks to work on art. I say two because that first week of no responsibility, I'll be honest, I'll probably be sleeping and sitting on my ass recuperating from this term.

Then starting Monday June 2nd I'll be starting my Summer 1 term which shouldn't be NEAR as demanding as this current term because I'll only have one class (I think, two at the most if they even offer a couple classes I need), and I should be done by noon if not before every day. That and I'm gonna choose as easy a class as possible so that I can get my GPA up even more. So that means, even when class starts again I should be able to keep working on commissions, if I still have commissions to work on. Here's to hoping that I can get them all done in those three weeks that I have between this term and Summer 1.

Alright...I think that's it, I'll keep ya updated on things as time goes by. I've got a test in Statistics tomorrow, a test in my Human Sexuality class on Thursday, a progress report for my Mythology Project (which was due today but I missed that class talking to my Chemistry instructor about my grade), and then next Monday I have another Chemistry test. On top of all of that I'll have to meet with my Stats and Chem instructors once more in two weeks to see what my grades are then and see if I need to drop one or both of them or neither of them, annnnd tomorrow I'm meeting with my Academic Adviser again and then on Wednesday at 11am I'm gonna do an experiment for my Stats instructor for some extra credit. All of that is before the drop date, which is a little under three weeks away now.

If I make it past the drop date, add one more test in Statistics, Human Sexuality, and at least one more test in Mythology plus finishing and presenting my project as well as one more minor quiz, and two more tests in Chemistry, not to mention labs and assignments to get done. I have at least 4 more labs in Chemistry I think, maybe it's only 3, not sure, and I've got 3 more assignments in Statistics. SO busy busy busy at least for the next two weeks if not the next four or five.

I thank everyone for their patience so far, especially my commissioners, I don't plan on letting you down. Just please, please, PLEASE hang with me for a little bit longer. I hope y'all understand, I will be eternally greatful if you do, and I might think of a way to make it up to everyone. I have no idea how right now, but once all this crap is out of the way I might be able to come up with a way.

until next time,

Well...so much for Spring Break. It was good while it lasted though, got to do some fishing yesterday and last Saturday with my dad and step-mom.

I didn't catch anything until yesterday though lol we only caught two between four of us last Saturday anyway and it was like 30 minutes before we had to get off the lake anyway. Yesterday, though, we caught I think six total, two for each of us. Wacky-worms worked the best, but my dad did manage to catch one on a swim-bait and my step-mom caught I think the last one of the day on a Carolina rig (sorry if that's kinda confusing). I caught both of mine on a wacky-worm, one (the bigger one around 3lbs because she was full of eggs I believe) I caught with the help of my dad lol he missed her and then was like "cast of by that tree!" and sure enough she got mine. The second, smaller but my God! He was a little psycho fish XD fought like a big one anyway lol, I caught him without any aid no one pointing out where to cast or anything. They were being really finicky yesterday though, and even more so last Saturday, I think the weather has been messing them up, it was too cold for them to be moving onto the beds last Saturday and I think we had a cold front come through before Saturday that messed them up this weekend, because they were staging I think (pulling up to deep ridges off of points and what not getting ready to move into shallow water) but they weren't in a hungry mood. So anyway, I think my dad and I are gonna try again next weekend, and I think my step-mom will be back for that one, but after that he can't get on the lake or even talk to anyone (the bass guides that work there) about where to find fish before the week of the Toyota Texas Bass Classic which will be held on April 18th through the 20th I believe, and they'll have either two or three days before the practice earlier that week, so they can practice with their team mates.

Speaking of the TTBC heres the official team list in case y'all want to take a look see: [link]

My dad is on Team #18 under team captain Todd Faircloth, and he's the last member listed since he was part of the last group chosen with the aid of that qualifying tournament he won second in several weeks back.

Anyway, other than fishing I've been studying a bit for my 3rd Chemistry test which will be bright and early tomorrow morning, and reading over the first 10 books in Homer's The Odyssey for my Mythology class. Around that I've been pretty much sleeping as much as possible and I did a few things for the contests being held over on Crescent Weyr for the Gather.

Really, that's all I've had energy for, I've had some sort of sinus infection or something going on which has made me dizzy on several occasions, and I mean like head realing, just got done spinning a hundred times sort of dizzy, the kind where your eyes are trying to keep themselves straight but end up feeling like their just twitching in your head. Thank God it only lasted for a few seconds each time but man it sucked! I think it's all gone now, I've been using Afrin to help, but if it's still a problem this next week I think I'll be seeing a doctor.

Sorry y'all haven't seen much art, especially to my commissioners, this semester has just been horrible as far as time goes. If it's not one thing it's another that messes me up when it comes to getting art done. Either it's depression (which is still around a little bit unfortunately), or it's sickness, or school, or homework, or just plain being worn out!

The good news is that I've only got around six more weeks of classes left before I get a month break, I don't PLAN on taking that long to get art done, I'll do what I can when I can until then (had a feeling I should have held off on commissions).

I have a feeling I might have more time on my hands soon, or within the next month anyway because I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to pass my Chemistry course *sigh* I did better on the last test, but I still didn't pass, and I don't think my labs will be enough to help me, well the ones that are good enough anyway, they're been kind of sporadic on the grades coming back, sometimes I get an A and then the next lab I'll get a C! It's crazy. Guess some are just easier than others or maybe I understand some better than others and just don't realize it Anyway, Chemistry might get dropped since I don't want to mess my GPA up, at least not anymore than it has been messed up -_- so yeah, that will happen at the latest on April 25th since that's the last day to withdraw, but I plan on going the beginning of that week to talk to him about my grade and get his opinion. Not many of us at all are doing good in that class, half the class wasn't even there the week before Spring Break so I'm not sure if they just took an early vacation or if they dropped. Who knows.

Sheesh life has been nuts lately, it's made me want to do nothing but sleep for a few weeks now. Sorry for all of you who are waiting on art, I'm working on it, but time and energy are very little in my life right now, and my muse STILL will NOT cooperate with me at all! She did very briefly last Thursday I think, but that was it, I tried to get some sketches done and nothing, they all came out horrible! Or well, in my opinion horrible. I'm trying to give y'all the best I can, that's why it's taking so long I guess, I refuse to give half-ass work, especially when it comes to commissions. Again, I'm not being very professional I know, but I just don't know what to do, I've tried to just chill and let it pass, and I've tried to force good art out and neither are working right now. For that I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep trying.

Yeah, enough of that, I've got to get back to studying a bit and then get in some more reading of the Odyssey before it gets too late tonight.

OH and for those who I've talked to on MSN a lot lately, I'm sorry I haven't been on, our wireless router went out and I haven't been able to use my laptop since Tuesday and I'd have to download the needed stuff to get it on this comp and since this one is my dads I'm not gonna do that, sorry, I'm not ignoring or mad at anyone by no means. Just technology isn't cooperating with me at all, among other things obviously. I'll be glad when May gets here so I can take a nice break before my Summer terms.

Sorry...I rambled, but it's all important I guess if you want to know what's up with me. Anyway...

until next time,
ttyl
