Ravers-Disease

I find it sad that only Schafi likes/comments on my shit 

I used to be really active with my watchers, but since Ive been back it seems like I get no action. Perhaps their accounts are inactive? O.o 

1. You cannot please everyone. No matter how good of an artist, writer, designer, etc. you are, there will always be people out there that will not like it. You could spend hours, days, months, and put your heart and time into a piece and some people will still always find something wrong with it or just flat out think it is ugly or unappealing. 

2. Critics are everywhere. Like number one, even if you were given an award for best artist ever there will still be people out there that will criticize your work.

3. Not all criticism will be constructive. You will find a lot of critics simply trying to help you improve, but some individuals will straight out say they don't like it or point out why it is bad, and there is nothing you can do to change their minds.

4. Your art won't always sell for money. A mass of people can greatly enjoy your work and appreciate it, but not everyone is willing to spend a large sum of money on an art piece. People who make clothing or costumes don't really need to worry too much about this since there are many more people that are willing to pay 200 dollars on a beautiful custom dress than 100 dollars on a painting or drawing to hang on their wall. Same could go for sculptors, but again depending on your work it can be very hard to sell your projects let alone try and make a living off it. 

5. There will ALWAYS be someone better than you. No matter what you do, or what your profession is, or how original you try to be, there will always always always be someone out there better than you. 

So I almost wasn't able to go to Tsukino con in Victoria Canada last weekend because of my expired passport. But thank the creator on high that they mercifully let me through the border since I had the BEST experience of my life. I met so many awesome people that I could just hang with forever and played the pocky game with someone other than my friend Amanda, who sadly got pretty much all the attention from her extremely revealing costumes and falling out boobs such as the princess leia slave costume. But I had much fun, took many pictures and glimpse anyone who was in a lab coat xD since the theme was "science" I found it only appropriate for it to be my first con. And not to mention the "room of shame" which is pretty much yaoi and hentai for all to watch. It was pretty awesome, plus actually attending an 18+ seminar on hentai. Yes, be jealous xD
As for the shopping...wow. I got pretty much everything I have been wanting for quite a while, a small bottle on a chain that I filled with glowstick fluid, a pair or real steampunk goggles with one blue lense and one red, my own labcoat that I stained with fake blood and glowstick fluid, a big fluffy white tail and red wolf contact lenses. After being in solitude for god knows how long going to the con was refreshing for my soul. Pretty much words cannot describe the epicness of it, but let's say I was really sad to leave. But another thing happened that makes me feel better about life, I had become strong enemies with my ex boyfriend who used to go to the same school as me when I lived in Victoria plus he is a volunteer at the con. I decided at the con I was going to be nice and loving like every furry raver should. We became Frieda again after he apologized for everything, insisted that he never cheated and said how much he missed my awesome. Because who wouldn't? I am definately a much better person now than I was two or three years ago. Especially since when he dated me I was "emo and goth" Jenocta, now I am "furry raver super happy and awesome" Jenocta...so i guess a lot of it was my fault too. So never keep hatred in your heart, its very unhealthy. I can't tell you how much more free I feel because of my experience. Now I just can't wait till next year!!
