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.

Randomness

I just have a ton of random stuff on my mind, and it's been a while since I posted anything so eh, why not rant?

I'll start with Tuesday: On Tuesday I went to CSU for a school field trip, and it was so awesome. I really, really like the campus and everything, it has a lot to offer, and it just seems like an overall great place. I'm heavily considering going there to a point where I'm just wavering between the line of "Do I really need to even look at other colleges? 'cuz I'm pretty sure this is the one." I'll definitely mention it when I do decide :3 Until then, however, I'm really liking the idea of CSU. Next stage is to choose what I wanna major and minor in [or at least start getting a good, general idea]. I know I want either Art, Drama, or Literature to be my major, and then one of the other two to be my minor, though I'm also considering a double minor/major. I'm just not in a college setting yet, so I've yet to decide if I wanna do that or not, and I figure time in college will help me with that choice, so I'm not too heavy on the double minor/major idea. I really just want to go into college knowing what I wanna major in, and I'm having a hard time deciding between the three. I have very different feelings on it every day. Some days I think that Literature would be best, then Drama and Art. Other days Art is my most important asset, then Literature and Drama. And still other days Drama is more important then Literature and Art. Most of the time [or at least lately] though, I've been having troubles deciding all around because I'm just not sure at all which is more important. Also, my main career has been an issue. I don't fully know what I wanna do with my life. All I have down is tattoo artist and writer, and that in itself is just not enough income for my big dreams. I want to find something for drama in my life too, as in a main goal not just some simple little "I'll do Drama in my spare time" thing too. I want all three of my favorite things to be a part of my life, and equally important. Whatever though. It's just what's on my mind. Hopefully by the end of senior year I can have this all decided.

Another thing: Rue. Rue left about 2 and a half months ago for Job Corps and I've missed him SO MUCH. I can get through my life without him here, and it's a lot less hard on me than I originally thought, but I just miss him so much. He's so wonderful even through the distance, though, and for that I'm grateful. I worry about him...I worry a lot. But I see him in December, and maybe we can talk about his situation more then.

I'm at my friend, Emily's, house. Actually I'm using her computer to type all this X3 Usually I bring my laptop, but I'm letting my other friend, Akari, use it for the month. She needs it for NaNoWriMo cuz her parents are psycho and won't let her use anything with internet even though it's for school [that's her project for Creative Writing, is NaNoWriMo]. So, because I trust her, I'm letting her borrow mine and I'm just using another computer at my house to write my own NaNoWriMo. Speaking of NaNoWriMo, I'm trying to finish Truth, or at least significantly add to it. Tomorrow when I get home I'm going to start on it [I only just yesterday got the file from my laptop to work on] and hopefully get a good word count for the day. I doubt I'll reach 50,000 this month, but I can always try. I'm really excited for it :3

Oh! Random other thing: I got my first Stage Manager position for a play ever this year! It's for a puppet show that our drama teacher wrote. It's called Rock Man, and it's about a, well, rock man who strives to get to the top of this big mountain. It's for little kids, so before you go "that's weird," realize that it is, and that kids love weird stuff XD I made a puppet for it [The Goat God], and I also helped work on the set. I'll post pictures up on my deviantART and furaffinity so that you can see the work I did once I get the chance :3

Well...that's about it. The only other thing I have on my mind is SKYRIIIIIIM!!! and how excited I am to go home and play it hehehe But now I think I'ma get some sleep while I got the chance. It's already 3:40am and I have a preformance tomorrow >.< Yes, that play I'm Stage Managing is already up. If you're in the Westminster, CO area you should totally come! It's at ACS at 6:30pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday next week if you can't make it at the same time tomorrow...er...today. lolz I'ma go to bed X3
