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.

Long Time, No See :3

Hello there guys! I know it's been a significant amount of time, but I thought I'd drop in and say hello. Allow me to begin by organizing what is going to certainly be a long post with a list of topics:
  • ...staying up late...
  • Rue and I - super quick
  • RPA
  • Ashira's Store
  • Ashira's Notebook
  • Tumblr
  • Artwork
  • Tae-Kwon-Do
  • College [Japanese!]
  • My Internet Usage From Now On
  • Random end :3

Ok because I clearly have a lot to talk about, I'm going to color code everything. The Title new topic will be the color labeled above. If you would like to skip whatever, or only read one thing, etc. you can jump around as much as you like via the color coding :3 Also, for people who like it short, sweet, and to the point, I've bolded and italics the key points. Hope this helps, thanks for the time, and especially thank you for reading :D

...Staying Up Late...

Ok, so I have been staying up super late pretty much every night. The earliest I go to bed is around midnight, but closer to 1, and the latest [the most common times] I go to bed are anywhere in between 3 and 4:30 in the morning. I wake up around noon usually, but sometimes I'll even get up around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. The way my parents put it is "It's like you're in a different time zone."

My dad wants it to stop, says it's unhealthy, and though I understand this, I would really like to get back to my good sleep schedule of staying up 'til 2, sleeping 8 hours, and waking up at 10. It's perfect because I sleep in a bit, I get my night shit in, and I'm up most of the day.

Then why am I bringing it up? Well I did want to ask - Linkwhat do you suggest for waking me up at 10? 10 is the latest I ever really want to sleep 'til every day. I don't particularly like getting up at noon. If I lived by myself and went to night school/had a night job then I'd be fine with it because I'm sure those I'd live with would either be on the same schedule, or I would be living alone. But because I'm depending on my parents to help me get some driving hours in, and to drive me around in the meantime, then I seriously need help.

Also, I've noticed that I've been sleeping a lot because I have nothing else to do. My parents are trying to fix this by getting me into Tae-Kwon-Do [see different section], but even with that, until college starts up I'm probably not going to be doing much of anything. So for these next few months (A) Give me something to do [cough like buying my art cough cough] and (B) tell me how to sleep better.

Rue and I

I'm gonna keep this as quick as possible.

Rue and I are no longer together for many complicated reasons that I'll make a lot clearer in future posts, I won't do it flat out though [if you can't put the two and two together when I do, then I apologize but you just won't ever know]. I just figure it's simple enough for people to understand when it comes out. In the meantime, friends and family subscribe to this YouTube channel [it's my second channel], and you'll understand when the time comes if you don't already.

RPA

I have been really kicking it up a notch with my role playing! RPA is seriously such a great place for it too. I've already become a part of 9 RP's and I'm planning on making one of my own really soon here :3 My only concern is that I might be getting in a little over my head, that I might not be able to keep up with RPA at all once I start college. I wanted to fore-warn anyone who RP's with me on RPA that I'm not sure what's all going down when college starts, so I wanted them to enjoy the time they had with me.

Furthermore, I also wanted to mention that since I do have time right now, that if you're a member of RPA, that you get a special discount on commissions all the way up until August 1st, 2012. For my fellow RPA-goers, I wanted to offer this discount to you at the small expense of a moment of your time. For more information, visit the Sales Info, etc. page on Ashira's Store and scroll down to "Members of RPA..." now!

EXTRA NOTE: This may end extremely soon [like this next week soon] because I've just asked the admins some specific questions in reference to this discount. I respect the admins choice, and if the admins tell me no, then no I won't be offering this discount anymore. You can still get it until it disappears from the Sales Info, etc. page on Ashira's Store however, so hurry and purchase your art.

Ashira's Store

Ashira's Store has been getting next to nobody going to it, which is a pity because I'm selling commissions! But since that's not quite going so well, I did want to make note that I'm going to make pieces especially for selling, and I want any suggestions you all might have to give! Please and thank you :3

You can see Ashira's Store now here: http://www.ashirasstore.webs.com/

Ashira's Notebook

It's still under construction... I just wanted to make sure everyone knew it IS getting worked on, just very slowly. I apologize for any inconveniences this might have on you all.

Still, you can see it here: http://www.ashirasnotebook.webs.com/
