Welcome!

Hello. I'm Ashira, Ashira Saide Cartel. You may know me from my other websites - Ashira's Notebook and Ashira's Store - but this is a totally different place [obviously].

I get bored with my life and have many plans. I try to keep people updated as best as I can, but that's kinda hard. I like ranting, I'll admit that, and sometimes talking about my website just doesn't happen. I don't like a diary because it either just gets really personal and I don't know what to do with it, or more likely than not I wanna share it with too many people and it's not that personal anymore.

As a solution, I first thought I'd try working on an Autobiography...sorta...but there was a lot in it that I just didn't like and didn't want to mention. There was also the fact that most of the book wasn't something I was up to selling, and overall it was just too much work that I wasn't willing to do. So I eventually ended up just quitting it...but I still thought, "What should I do...?" I didn't want to use my time making a whole 'nother website all for the purpose of randomly ranting, so after watching a video on YouTube from user MasakoX, I figured "Eh...alright, I'll give it a go" and here I am...on blogger. I'm also on tumblr if you're more into the short, random crap that's on my mind. I used to put this stuff under my main blog posts as Random Song of the Moment, Random Artwork of the Moment, etc.

I do wanna note a few things to any random visitors, however... first of all, this place is quite different than Ashira's Notebook. I don't censor myself quite so much [therefore I curse/swear, I talk about touchy subjects, etc.]. Secondly, I tend to talk about completely unrelated things from artwork. The things I discuss here usually are just general updates geared towards friends and family interested in what I'm doing with my life, as well as fans looking for a more personal side of the artist behind the artwork.

If you're hoping to get an inside scoop on my current projects, I will occasionally put things about them, but usually I'll write about random crap. In that case, I suggest you look at the News section on Ashira's Notebook more often and maybe checking out the Forums. If you're looking for examples of my written work, again I share some things on here, but the majority of my work is on my Writer's Cafe.

All that in mind, I hope enjoy your stay at Ashira's Home.

I love my e-mail sometimes

Something funny that just happened to me... I go to check my e-mail real fast before bed and it says I have 50 unread messages. "Oh boy..." my mind says, knowing that the majority are from Facebook, and wondering just how many aren't. Mind you, some of these have been purposely marked unread by myself so I won't forget to read them again, but that only deletes around 5 off that list...45 to look over. As I originally assumed, the majority were Facebook messages, telling me about everything I already knew: so-and-so liked your status, whoever posted to your wall, etc. I delete them all, respond quickly to the remaining 1 or 2 from my friend Sheoiga really fast, then go to my spam folder and do a quick scan of the messages in it before deciding on deleting them all. Before I click the little empty button, I notice one, special Facebook message... The only message from Facebook that made it to my Spam folder... the subject: "Troy Murphy commented on his status." I guess my e-mail doesn't like him either XD
