This was mostly today's theme. Anytime I'd talk to someone I'd bring up Ace and how much I miss him. Then I found this video on my computer. Completely forgot about it. Now it is on YouTube so I can enjoy it anywhere.



Now then, none of you folks live in New York? Maybe since I haven't been posting daily comics I'm getting less views or something. Oh well.

Lady Crimson now updates on Thursdays. Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

New York is great just to let ya'll know. Well, as great as barely getting by and trying to think of new ways to make money legally goes. At least I have a job and a place to sleep. Ciao for now...

Today is really nice and kinda cool. The past few days have been a bit warm. I have a job now. I started on Tuesday. Next week are my last two days of training then I'm supposed to do it all on my own. I work at Sustainable NYC. It's cute and feels like a good fit for now. I definitely need new shoes. The pairs I brought aren't for all the walking I've been doing. I bought a new mattress a few days ago and paid rent. My loan payment for this month is due tomorrow. Yeah, that one is going to be a little late.

So the car hasn't sold. CarMax won't buy it for the price I want. Lady Crimson is on hold but on Wednesday there will be a new page! I'm sorta settled. Working on the floor is no fun. I'm debating having my parents sell my drafting table as well.

That's all for now. It's exciting so far. I wouldn't say its fun but I'm not unhappy so that is a plus. I miss Ace. I'll probably put that in each post till he comes live with me.

Hello friends!

I'm safe and sound in my new little apartment. My roommates are super nice and I'm close to all sorts of things. I got my metro card for the month so I can travel all around new york city! I'm sleeping on an air mattress and all my stuff is scattered around the floor since i have no furniture or hangers! It's a bit exciting. I was going to meet up with the landlord yesterday but i chickened out. I'll see him on the day I hafto pay my rent. Hahaha. Let's hope I have the money! Now for some pictures:


That's the kitchen. It's a bit small. There is a gas stove! I was super confused by this. No microwave so I'm forced to cook food properly. No more nuking things. Which I guess is a good thing. There is no space for a microwave anyways.


This is the living room/dinning room area. Once Katie and I have better paying jobs we'll chip in with Jordan to get a sofa and some shelves or something to make the room look less plain. For now it is this.


This is my room. A bit smaller then my old room I'll need to plan how I furnish it carefully.

I'll be going around New York on my own again today passing out my resume and getting used to the subway. I'll be getting two more boxes in the mail tomorrow! My mom plans on sending me more items but I'm thinking if I have a job I might not be here to receive them. We'll see. Also, if my job doesn't give me enough money I won't be able to bring Ace up here for a while. I cried a bit about that but I need to think of what is best for Ace. Living with me in a small apartment with nothing to do while I'm at work or living with my family in Tampa where he has a whole house to run around in and a whole family to watch over him. If I get that perfect job where I can work from home, get all my bills paid, and have benefits I'd be set! Hahaha, but I don't know of any jobs like that here. At least not yet. I know I'll be working hard to save up enough money to have Ace here with me. I miss him a lot.

I finished shipping the last two boxes to myself. Stopped by PetSmart to get Ace's nails trimmed and visited my grandparents. I was going to go to the bank but I'll do that later. Now I'm sprucing up my resume so i can print a few before I leave.

My car has yet to sell so I'm nervous about that. I haven't heard anything from the places I've e-mailed my resume too. I'll only have a few dollars to spend till I get a new job OR the car sells.

I was going to pick up Haruchans but my mom needed me to run some errands. I did that and now I'm home. Too tired to drive over and pick up Haru. Moo. That's it for now. I'm going to take a nap.

Tomorrow is my last day in Tampa! I knew I did this count down wrong. Hahahaha, oh well.

So hopefully my computer arrives in good condition. When I went to UPS today it was closed?! So I went to FedEx and the lady gave me a hard time about my boxes. Oh well. Saturday is right around the corner. Crazy.

boxes and clothes all over my room. i can't believe this saturday is the day.

This was inspired by my friend MegaWolf's song he posted. You can listen to it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2758507/

I'm sure I'll be able to see some stars in New York.

BBQ was sooo good! O_O

Taken from my deviantART journal post:

Anymahoot, packing for New York is a lot more work then I had expected. I'm glad I've started so early but know I need to get rid of a lot of stuff. It's similar to packing for college except I know I'll have nothing when I get up there. No bed, dresser, or desk. I'll be living from my luggage for a while and sleeping on an air mattress.

Most of my clothes are packed. I gave away a lot of things to Haruchans and I'll be dropping things off at good will today. People have told me "put the books you want to sell on craigs list or ebay" but I don't want to be bothered with trying to sell them. I mean, I'm not even having any luck selling my car! I'll just leave them here for now and once I'm settled in my new surroundings send for them or something.

I'll be in New York on September 12th around 2:30pm. Then Monday I'll brave around town handing out resumes and applying for jobs. Let's hope I don't get too lost.

That's all for now!

haruchans has now taken over this journal. Hey gaiz. Savi is working on getting stuff sorted and packed. Woohoo. Anyway.. I'll be leaving now. Bye byeee.

So I wake up every morning and see his fluffy face right next to mine, he follows me around like a shadow anytime I'm home, and when I come home after work he is so excited to see. Always. I hope I get a job soon when I move to New York.

Also I got an offer for my car. Yeah, not liking it. Hopefully I get better offers soon.

Since I'm not a member on Craigs list I hafto wait for and e-mail so it'll show up on the page. Oh well. I posted a price higher then I expect to sell it for so people can try talking me down to the price I expect getting for it. I might be buying a paint marker to write on the window that the car is for sale. We'll see.

I don't want to go to work.

Also, if my friend Mike Yuen's birthday today. Happy birthday Mike!

I think this will add to the tension. Still got so much to do!

Lady Crimson's next page
sell car
sell computer desk & chair
pack bags for plane trip
pack boxes to be shipped to me
pack boxes for parents to drive up to me later
keep sending out resumes

I guess that's it for now. Still seems like a lot.

Mom keeps reminding me to pray and give thanks for everything I've been given.

I won't hurt so I will. Plus, I am very lucky so I should let God know I'm happy.

Amen.

Looking at the other picture just made me sad cause Ace really ain't coming with me. And it ain't Memorial Day Weekend. It's Labor day. Who cares what holiday, just an excuse not to work. Hahaha, I know I work though.

Anymahoot, here is the update! I'll be flying on the 12th at 11am something and arriving at 2pm something. Someone is thinking about buying my computer desk and chair for $50. My car still needs to be sold. If you live in the area and want a reddish 2005 Dodge Neon SXT let me know.

Once I have a job I'll send for Ace. I may be in Orlando on the 8th. Depends on 1. If I have the day off and 2. if I haven't sold my car yet or 3.If I haven't painfully stressed myself out beyond belief uprooting myself for my trip that very weekend.

This week is full of packing and planning. I haven't been able to draw much the past few days. People have been asking they'll be able to see me for the last time before I go. I don't know. I originally wasn't going to tell anyone I was leaving till I was already in New York but my friend Saint said it would be a good idea to let people know. I guess I didn't want to have for real good byes with people. That being said...

This is my schedule for the week:

Monday: Day off!
Tuesday: 9:45 to 7:15
Wednesday: 9:45 to 7:15
Thursday: 11:30 to 7:30
Friday: Day off!
Saturday: 11:30 to 7:30
Sunday: Off but on call from 11:30-4:30

If you want to come over and chill with me while I'm moving around the house doing stuff I'd like that. I would go out for a coffee or dinner or a something but I need to save my money. I'm a home body and even though I love hanging out with friends I'd like to spend my last few days here with my dog. Ou, I wouldn't mind driving around Tampa and looking at stuff but that cost gas money. Hahaha. If you have my number you can give me a call or a text message. Thanks!

I'm super excited to be moving but scared/sad/anxious that I'll be leaving my family home. I know I can come back when ever I need to though, so I'll be fine. I hope I don't annoy Jordan........................I'm going to be so annoying. Hahahaha. Busy day tomorrow. Sorry I'm kinda rambling. Thoughts are everywhere.

-fin

What's happening? Is this the end of lil nena? unlazy? dun dun dunnnnnn!!!!

I dunno. We'll hafto wait and see. Worry not shes not dead. I don't think.

Hello! I'm still alive. I've been working on Lady Crimson and doodling other things lately so I haven't been as faithful to my unlazy strip. Talking about faith...



...never mind. That's for some other place. Ya'll are here for comics or magnificent update on my extraordinary life! I'm still serving time at Pearl Art Supply and Craft, still crashing at my parents house, barely making loan payments, and still hanging out with Ace.

Ace is a small thing. So small and soft. I need to love him better. Just taking him out to the dog park, feeding him, bathing him, buying him toys, rubbing his belly, visiting the dog park, and making sure he gets all his shots isn't enough. A few months ago I said I was taking him to get fixed but my folks wouldn't have it. Now they agree with me that it would be for the best. So I'll be saving money up for that.

I'll talk more at ya'll later. I stood my parents up this morning cause I wanted to sleep in instead of going to church. So if they come back and see I'm still in my jammies they'll be kinda annoied. Then its off to work with me today!

So I'll be all "when i get home i'ma get working on stuff, do things, and play with Ace!" but when I'm at home nothing gets done. Well, not as much gets done. Lame.

I guess this is an introduction to my sister. I may have drawn her in this comic before. I know she was in my first mini-comic "SAM" if any of you have it. She doesn't go by NenaSol online or anything. It's just the name I've given her for comic purposes. Still, it fits since we're a bit like night and day. It only takes a few hours of being alone with her to remind me why we never really got along growing up. Haha, guess I could call my brother NeneMundo.
