This blog will be more serious and personal than my usual, silly blogs so, fair warning.

I took a little hiatus from SG for a while. I sometimes just get in a funk and just kind of go off the grid. I'm actually still kind of in it but I'm trying to come out.

I dropped my phone in the toilet (graceful right?) right before I left for Hell City. No, I didn't have any rice, yes I took out the battery and let it dry for 24 hours before I tried to use it and no, it did not live. Fortunately, Bitten had an old phone that she gave me. Unfortunately, I can't get it to download apps (yes, I've taken it to the store. Yes, I've tried a million other things) so I no longer have access to my Instagram for now. I have an iPhone on my wishlist as some wishful thinking but more realistically, I have an upgrade in March so I'll most likely have Instagram back then.
I did manage to get a few pictures from Hell City...

Aerion, Bitten and I with our fan art by Norritt

The metal band that dressed like preppy golfers...hilarious!

Me with my new Ozzie friends, Jordy and Liam the ranga. Ranga stands for orangutang because he's got red hair lol. He calls me 'Rad Cunt'. I love Australians lol

Playing giant chess with my girlfriend. I won biggrin

Aerion and I

Bitten and I

After giving out trophies with Sunshine, Elody, Zuki, Bitten, Toxic, CallieJane, Luscious, Riona, Zuriah, Exning and a few other girls who, forgive my memory, names I've forgotten



Some cute pictures with the girlfriend. We actually met at Hell City 3 years ago and have been together ever since. It's kinda cute love story...but I'll spare you the details unless you ask smile

My girls Aerion and Bitten

The reason I miss Arizona so much. One of my very best friends and motivators, Aerion. Check out her sets! They're all amazing and should be bought. Just sayin.

Sprinkles! Another reason I miss Phoenix so much...

Luscious and I. She makes the coolest jewelry! I don't know if she has a website or anything but you should ask her about it! I know she sells at Hell City conventions though. Of course I got a necklace smile I'm wearing it in this picture but I should have taken some up close pictures...Oh well, next time

Fun in the booth with Exning, Riona, Toxic, Aerion and Zuriah

Teresa Sharpe!! My favorite artist of all time!
Speaking of people from Best Ink, London Reese and Jon Mesa were in the booth right next to the SGs. London didn't say anything to me until later in the weekend (after work hours of course) he was a bit intoxicated and rode by my on a bike yelling and pointing "Miley, Miley, Miley!"...It made me giggle lol. You had to have been there...I don't think anybody called me by anything other than 'Miley' the entire time I was in Phoenix. One guy actually came up to me in the hotel restaurant and asked if I was her lol. I don't really see the resemblance but I'm still flattered.

This little girl in the airport had a Hannah Montana backback. She kept looking at me and looking at her backpack. Maybe she thought she was seeing her mentor in person lol. It was adorable smile



On a more serious note, spending time with Aerion has, as always, inspired me to make something of myself. I hadn't been around her in so long that it had worn off. I had no drive anymore. Being around someone so successful and motivating really lights a fire under me. I want to have a career, not a job. And I want it to be something I love doing. I love plenty of things...singing, writing, baking, designing (clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry), interior design, home renovations and graphic design. Problem is, I'm terribly shy in person. I need to change that...Shy people never get anywhere. And how do I choose? How do I know which path will take me where I want to go? If I had the money to start, I would start an Etsy selling my designs but I'm a little stuck at the moment. Things will work out though I'm sure. I'm open to advice though.

First off, I like the Miley hair. I've never been interested in the least in Miley Cyrus until she went crazy. Now she's all I think about, because I'm intensely attracted to crazy chicks. That's not true, I think about plenty of other people and things, mostly money and how to make it is what my mind is focused on now. I'm too poor. I know exactly what it's like to be rudderless and unmotivated; I've been going through that for a while. My secret? There isn't one. I'm still miserable and unmotivated, but I'm pushing past it because I have no choice. It's either work through it and hope I can get things where I need them to be, or despair, and after despairing long enough, it's time to act like a grown up and soldier on, whether I want to or not. I know you're powerful enough to dust yourself off and carry on, and I have faith in your ability to do so. You're a creator. Just keep making what you make and start selling it. Easier said than done, right? I'm a creator, too, but I can't really start an etsy and sell poetry chapbooks. wink Chin up. You're amazing enough to inspire yourself.
