Dare to dream with me?

So I've changed journals as of today. I decided I want to keep up with this again since I'm getting married, I want to keep track and I have friends who'd wanna keep up with things soooo yeah.
I'll send friend requests to those who want, but for the most part I'm not outright announcing the name as I'd rather leave the drama squad, my reason for avoiding LJ, behind.
*hugs to you all*

So I got one of the presents on my wishlist. My friend wanted to buy it and send it, but since he figured it'd take longer he sent me the funds to get it. They arrived yesterday so I went to the store to get it... but it took walking through knee deep water for it. lol Let me explain..
There were some really bad tornado warnings out around the area and we didn't know because when we left out it was only sprinkling rain. We got into the next county over (Anderson)(we had to pay a phone bill right away) and it was pouring rain and lightning bad. We get to the place and it's already flooding to the point that lower areas, cars were tire deep in water. Mom pulled to the side of the building and stepped across to the sidewalk because below the sidewalk was ankle deep on her.
Anyways, she was not in there 2 minutes and the entire sidewalk was flooded out and I was sitting in the minivan with water coming up near the doors, it was going in the store! She ran back out and told me she didn't have change so I said I had what was sent to me that we could use it to make change. We drove over to ToysRUs next door and I got out to go make change (the ToysRUs was on a hill so no flooding), I about fell when I got inside due to being in slick sandals; kinda slid a bit on the floor. I made change and we drove back down to the base of the hill... the store was literally underwater. People were walking with pants rolled up and the cars around there the water was going into them.. severe flood damage.. some cars were having to be pushed by people because motors were underwater and would not start. Mom's brakes were already wet and you could hear them even though she wasn't down in the deep part.
I knew mom wanted that paid so I said I'd do it. I took my sandals off, rolled my pants above my knees and stepped out into it. I walked across and it was knee deep on me. This one guy guided me through one part of it because of the step up on the sidewalk was underwater and you could not see it. I got inside and the water was up to the counters, but I got it paid for her. Thing is, her being 5'4... and it already up to my knees... would have not been fun for her. (especially since I'm 5'11/6'ish)
So when I got back I dried off (Oh my god it was freezing water), got my pants back rolled down and shoes on and we drove over to Best Buy. The rain was slacking off at that point. BestBuy was on a hill too so I was able to avoid the water. Got my gift (the BC expansion for WoW *dances*), and as we drove by the phone place.. all the water had gone down the drains around there. As deep as it was, it had finally gone down since the rain stopped. It was utterly wild. But hey! At least now no one can say I wouldn't walk through stormy waters for my mom.

Well, something new might be dropping on my lap. Not sure where it may go or what might come of it but I'm still not disappearing from the current job, no. Anyhow, I met someone who had connections with Prima Publishing and I didn't know, well they showed their friend there some of my work for some game concept things I did and now the guy wants me to contact him soon. Fun fun. :D
Oh yeah, I did something fun yesterday, I'm dabbling with coloring it today. Going to probably.
( Click for orcness )
desc taken from DA:
I was tinkering around today in Photoshop while working on something else and I got inspired to mess around with a new type of orc. Very simplistic, and not too abnormal, but still reflecting something rough. I think it came out okay, and I will more than likely color this very soon between other things if time ever allows.
Speed sketch - time unknown
Tools: Photoshop CS, Intuos3 tablet
Anyway, how's everyone doing?

Took a test to see how birth order affects your personality just for shits and giggles and based on a 10 page quiz, it says this...
"Stephanie, your position as eldest child shows most strongly in your liberal sexual views.
Similar to other eldest children, you are likely a natural performer. You probably enjoy being the center of attention while also being in touch with the needs of those around you. You don't get so lost in yourself that you aren't aware of others. This combination of an inner and outward focus makes you a dynamic sexual partner. When it comes to intimate sexual relationships, you probably like to be adventurous and are open to going beyond basic kinds of sex."
How amusing. Not saying it's not true, it is, but it's amusing.

I really hate when something or someone gets stuck in my head and I can't get said thing out regardless of the situation or person. Especially if it becomes a continuous cycle that seems to actually escalate in intensity as time progresses. Realistically speaking though, it's a foolish thought cycle I've found myself in. - The biggest issue is when you need to say or do something about it, but logic blocks your path. You've realized you either have grown up, or you lack a pair/the courage to confront an issue. Maybe a little of both.
On the work front, it's taken a larger turn than expected as it's no longer products but now going to be a possible animated series for Disney and/or PBS and the like, and Disney is now involved with a lot of conference calls concerning characters I created for this. Along with some high time investors. It makes me kind of nervous to know the company is having to pay psychologists and sociologists to test our content for children, as well as people like Oprah and Gates have been sought for investing purposes. What the hell have I gotten myself into? I should know more within the next two weeks, and determine if it's going to go that far or not.
Oh hay, I live btw. ;)
I'm sleepy now, g'night all.

For those of you with children, or those of you who've shared the same household with children (namely children under 3 years of age), have you known them to be afraid of a vacuum? Alicia is still scared to death of the thing and clings to me fiercely when its in the same room. However, at the same time if it's in another room she wants to go into the room it is in. What's up with that?
And for those who don't know (as sometimes when someone hears me talk about the baby they think this), I do not have any children. I'm just one of those odd people in their 20s who have very young siblings. 23 and have a 17month old sister who insists on calling me mama, ah well.

Hrm, since it seems I might have a small break in work right now since it being the Memorial Day time and how there was a big presentation recently I might do a little Flash work for myself. No, not animations. I've done enough storyboarded animation for them in the past bit to choke a horse. I didn't even know I knew how! ...I didn't, really. I just.. well, it happened and it worked, and they liked it without revisions. I'm glad it turned out good. People try to tell me how good I am or something and I can't see it myself. I just like try to smile it off and pretend like I think the same, but I don't. I still see the place I want to be and level I want to be far in the distance. Just because I'm working professionally and have a dream job thing going, it still isn't at the level I want artistically. Practice practice practice I guess. lol
Anyways, I'm thinking of doing some panel comics for shits and giggles but low on ideas. Sort of. Most of everything I want to do a comic out of is more inside joke than anything and if you didn't know me personally you wouldn't get it, haha. Even then, some wouldn't get it. So hm, anyone have any fun ideas? I may default and do them in Photoshop instead, but uncertain.
