GA!!! and…random productivity

So, I really, really thought I had finally found an apartment, and it was as perfect as one can expect, but that fell through. Largely becuase my potential landlord and the guy that actually owns the property (who lives in another part of the country, of course) are complete clusterfucks and told me two weeks ago that I had a room and they’d let me know when my ref checked out so i could move in immediately, and then when I finally got a hold of them yesterday they told me that “uh…actually we might be selling the place and we don’t know if we want two dogs and blah blah blah we were gonna let you know at the end of Feb.” WHAT?!! Jesus, some people make me so mad I can barely see straight. And since I stopped looking for two weeks (’cause I thought I had a place) all the other leads I had have gone cold and I’m at square one. This has been going on since November and it’s really, really pissing me off. And my poor puppy is not handling me being out of the house for 12 hours straight (only 8 of those are me working, the rest is spent on the bus and god forbid I want to go anywheres on the way) and has started tearing apart every bag of garbage she finds. If i had my own place I could puppy-proof it, but my dad’s house is basically torn apart and filled with boxes of my stuff, his stuff, my dead grandparents stuff, my brothers stuff…you get the idea.

*sigh*

On another note, I’ve been very productive with my Naruto doujinishi; if I continue at my current rate I should have it finished by the end of next week (this chapter, I mean, not the whole thing, that’ll take years).
However, today I forgot my pens, and so can’t work on it at work like I’ve been doing. I did of course bring a pad of paper. I’ve had an original story in the back of my mind for some time, with some fairly well developed characters and some ideas I’d love to explore. Yet I’ve never really sat down and tried to peice through an outline before. Well, a few hours later and I have over three pages done, and more coming. The damn thing seems to be writing itself. Of course, now I have to decide whether I want to write it or draw it…or maybe both? Hmm…must put by brain to work on that one….
