Zephyr Place was the street I lived on in Maplewood, Missouri. I only lived in that house for a few months, but it was an important time in my life. Previously, I’d been homeless and was living wherever I could. Sleeping on the street. Sleeping in my friends’ vehicles. Sometimes on strangers couches because theyContinue reading “Zephyr Place”

Tarot Card Project
WARREN-PENDER VIA GETTY IMAGES My SO and I managed to make it out to Uechi Ryu Class today. Took some Opposite Action. It’s exhausting sometimes when neither partner has the motivation to pull the other along, but we somehow did it. Always good to make it out for practice. Sensei McGee says you need atContinue reading “Tarot Card Project”
Drawing on Repeat
Yesterday’s post was written frantically. I did it as I do most things, by the seat of my pants, just pulling from the deepest recesses of my insane mind. I did some writing in the past for my LARP (live action roleplaying). Most notably, I wrote the background for the Great Library setting. It’s myContinue reading “Drawing on Repeat”
Crying Over Spilt Milk?
In the past I used to think that phrase was silly. Who would cry over something as small as spilt milk? But as I got older and my mental health deteriorated, it honestly makes much more sense. There’s that one small thing that causes the breaking point when you have no more patience. I startedContinue reading “Crying Over Spilt Milk?”
Practice, Practice, Practice
My SO works today so it was the perfect time to practice playing my ukulele a bit. I managed to get a ukulele during COVID. Like many, MANY people, I picked up a few hobbies during the pandemic. I also got a guitar off Facebook Market as well, but it felt too large and hardContinue reading “Practice, Practice, Practice”
The Best Laid Plans
Last night and this morning, I put some good attempts into working on the logo. I don’t have the original line art from my tattoo, but I do have some good photographs. I just can’t seem to get anything accomplished though. Every time I’d draw a line, it just didn’t seem right. I’d start, hateContinue reading “The Best Laid Plans”
Tiny World, Big Feelings
I’m still feeling really raw after loosing Mango yesterday. Since my plans for today fell through (my local vet changed a bit and no longer will see rabbits, so I need to find a different one), I decided to take a personal day and work through my feelings. I watched some sad anime. These areContinue reading “Tiny World, Big Feelings”
Social Media Banner
As I was uploading the new banner to Atelier Whootique’s different social media platforms, I noticed my last post in Patreon. It’s been over a year. JUN 29, 2020 AT 5:25 AMRebranding“After a lot of thought and some careful soul searching, I’ve decided to release Fish Bowl. The story behind the brand and website nameContinue reading “Social Media Banner”
One Step Forward, Too Many Backward
Hello there, world! It feels strange to write a fresh new post on a brand new blog site. I’ve been twisting in the wind for ages trying to get things started without realizing the most important thing. You just have to do it. No amount of planning, list-making, or researching will ever prepare you asContinue reading “One Step Forward, Too Many Backward”
