lucoIt is now day ...uhh...three I think of the no aspartame diet!
It's been weird.
The first day I was giggly and giddy and bouncing off the walls! I would have credited to a manic episode except that there wasn't that obsessive, frantic component. I was just...happy. And silly. Very very silly.
Day 2 I was starting to feel blah and twitchy and annoyed, so I took myself away from temptation and headed off to the library to keep me busy. I love Barrie's library, I really do. It still has that old-fashioned library feel and smell and just walking into their was magical... *happy sigh* Got some books on birds, lizards, sea creatures, ghosts, architecture, plants, astronomy and dragons. The guy who came over to see if I needed help had a lot of fun trying to guess what I was studying. He was very much amused and intrigued when I told it was for an original comic ((yes I am actually working on something original *gasp*))
I also ended up with his number.
...
Day 3 has seen me reading and sketching and plotting and practicing and just generally trying to keep busy. I have noticed some major health changes already though.
I'm looking better. There are no longer huuuuuuge bags under my eyes (just little ones) and my skin seems nicer.
My sleeping medication has been lessened and I'm actually getting up at the time of morning that I use to and love (6-8am)
More energy...although the shakyness and headaches don't let me use it as much...
My hair is nicer...and that may be weird to add but it is! It's softer and smoother and wasn't coming out during my shower!
All in all, as much as I miss my diet cola...the results are worth it. I can still have my coffee and Lee has found me yummy flavoured water with no aspartame ((and no calories) and there is some nice tea in the house! It's taking a while to get use to having and appetite again (I actually mistook being hungry as a stomach pain/cramp) but, I'm so much happier.
And it's odd because I wake up and feel silly and think I'm going over the top with giddyness and such, but mom says this is how I use to be a very long time ago. So, even though there is still pop in the house, I can walk by it every day and not want to reach out for it. Just waking up at a proper time and with a smile is more then worth it.
Also....![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maderr !! I bought King's Harem and I never knew about Rook and Noor and this makes me horribly sad because I have fallen in love with them oh so very much and ummm....would you mind at all if I drew them at some point, because they are kinda poking at me with pictures......
And for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you can find her book ((and many other wonderful stories by her and other talented people)) here!
....Chris and Sable aren't available yet though *pouts*
Okay. I'm done rambling and now am off to either draw or try and defeat that demonic Organ in Epic Mickey *grumbles at it* You guys will get more sketches and stuff later on. Probably during the weekend or after because I just don't feel like scanning ((although there is a lot to scan.....))
OH!!! And uhhh...does anyone have the Avatar artbook and would be willing to scan in any pictures of backgrounds/architectures for me? I can get characters and outfits from screenshots and stuff, but artbooks are better for the background details and feel...
Please?
I'm hoping to get the book late May if I get a table at Anime North >>; But I am impatient...

Date: 2011-03-25 11:28 pm (UTC)Ack!!! I never replied to your message, I knew I forgot something!!!! I fail so hard!!!
I meant to say, I'm happy you enjoy my books and if you ever want any, they are yours for the asking.
You may draw whatever you want, I would be totally awed and flattered and beside myself with squee.
Working on Chris and Sable ^^;;; I'm sorry they're not done yet.
I'm really happy you're on the upswing, sweet <3 <3 <3 <3

Date: 2011-03-25 11:51 pm (UTC)Do you have anymore work with Rook and Noor because ((well I want to read more obviously)) I need a little more physical info in order to get the pics I wanna draw done.
I'm patient, honest.
*loves very muchly!!!!*

Date: 2011-03-26 12:02 am (UTC)I have a couple of bits floating around, and Rook is briefly in the end of Sandstorm. But you can pester me with questions, cause artists are always yelling at me for my lack of descrip :3

...or you know I could just keep sketching until you point and go 'That one!!'
But you'll still probably be pestered ^^ ...lovingly of course.

Date: 2011-03-26 12:24 am (UTC)I will indeed!
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 12:29 am (UTC)But yes, love x1000000 if you did them. Also, if you need me to pester her for anything, just ask. I will withhold beer or desserts or something. :3
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 01:02 am (UTC)But maybe art might possible cause a snippet or two of writing to appear....*ponders this*
And I don't know it the withholding is good for your health/safety, but I'll keep it in mind! *loves and hugs to you too!*

Date: 2011-03-26 01:13 am (UTC)I like to live on the edge. :3 Taunting M is one of those ways. ;3
(Also, OMG, would I die if I had to give up my diet pop. ;__; you are stronger than I am.)
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 01:23 am (UTC)If you can come up with something better go for it!
....I could see how that would be a fun game. Maybe I'll join you at next time I'm around XP
((it was NOT an easy choice to make but, the results make me see how much I was abusing my beloved drink ;; I just hold on to the fact that in the future, it will be my treat and I will it more for that....possibly))

Date: 2011-03-26 01:30 am (UTC)Ah, I've tried in the past, but I usually just end up re-reading the bits that she's written and getting all starry eyed and then I forget what I was doing in the first place. :3
(I'm glad you can have it again eventually as a treat. ^__^ That is much better than not ever being able to have it again ever. Also glad you can still do coffee. I would die without coffee. Moreso than without soda. :3)
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 01:33 am (UTC)Re-reading it just makes me wanna draw ^^; But I am weak against characters and damn do they know it...
((if they took away coffee then we would have a SERIOUS problem. Aspartame is one thing. Caffeine is a completely different story))
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 01:42 am (UTC)(Oh, god, do I know what you mean. Caffeine = necessary for life. Also, I flat out love the taste of coffee. Decaf is just not the same.)
