My 8 So Late

I just got back in my house after a day of baking and rolling sexiness into chocolate. So I am pretty beat. You guys may or may not get in on the creations of today. I haven't decided how I am going to roll that one out. I got tagged today by Inkihandmade who seemed to think that I should tag 8 other people. Thats where you are wrong Inki!!!!!! I will stop this vicious cycle now! So anyway you get clem-tacular facts about me in a random list of ramblings.
In other news I lost my book to pay back my college loans somewhere in my house. Which sucks because now I can't even turn it in to access the late fee. I need about ooooh 16 grand to pay them back. Lol, yes I have worked down that 120 grand so if anyone feels like giving me oooooh 25 dollars. Lol, it would go to the "Clem Shouldnt Have Spent So Much Money On School" fund to back loans lol. Lol, okay thats enough begging for one night here goes your 8 random facts:

1. I have night terrors when I sleep. I scream, bark, growl, and sometimes talk in my sleep. I even wake up with bleeding scratches.

2. When I get extremely bored I take showers. So I sometimes end up taking 4 showers a day instead of 1.

3. I can not pronounce the word "crayon" correctly.

4. I am right handed

5. I can not measure with a ruler correctly. I am always an inch too big or an inch too small.

6. I once jumped out of a moving vehicle.

7. I sometimes say what I am thinking out loud and then try to cover it up by screaming things like "penis" or "fuck".

8. I am an INTJ

Those are my 8. Seeing as most of the people I know have been tagged its going to be awesome to see what everyone comes up with.
I was originally going to post the wallpaper of the month today but I will wait until tomorrow which puts me behind schedule by a day.
I also really enjoyed thinking of 8 random thoughts about myself.

ARRRRR(new comic page)

Arrrrr, me mateys! I am so not sure how this page came about. Originally the idea was to have the guy shoot the bullet past me and Lady Poosy and for Wood to knock him out. From there I would get tackled and the bigger fight would began. Instead this morning whilst drawing this page I decided to change the story up a bit. To answer your questions just I already had pages drawn out from last time but those pages have to be worked up towards. I think next week is when Green gets to be all ballsy. On other news I am hungry and would really like a nice sandwich.I also dont understand why basic html coding doesnt work on etsy. I will have to fight through that one I guess. I am going to spend most of today building Nemsis Productions Brochure uh...I think? i have the layout made and the pictures gathered now its just time to fill in some crafty words and ship it off :)
See me bigger here

Capie!

I ran through most of today at a sloppy pace. I woke up at 12:32 after last nights 5am stay up and trotted outside. I found myself at the Main Library for the city over to us and I had brought my portfolio. As you all know I own my business and if you dont know...well now you kinda do. Lol, anyway I find myself working through things very quickly and since my business work load is work that takes me a matter of what 8 hours to do. Even if its 5 projects it doesnt go beyond 8 hours. So I figured why not apply for this head graphic designer job for a library. Sounds like cake and pie...cakepie....capie. Yes sounds like Capie. I sit there and do graphic work and then fix some presentations. Lmao, I ate that for b-fast!!!!!! So as I turn in my portfolio I walk out with the biggest grin on my face. I rule and I know..no...no..NO! I rush back into the library and I have forgot to attach my application which is all the way back at home. I track back down the library manager and I am like I forgot my application. She doesn't over to hand me one or tell me where I can print one off at she just says "Soooooooooo,I will just write that application on the way."
I stop and look at her and I am sure she can feel me calling her a million ways of stupid. I say thank-you and rush out the door. Alas, I get home about an hour later and decide that going out tonight not soooo cool. I chillax and sit back which in other words means I pass out. Lol, I wake up at 8pm and I am like who are you? Why are you in my bed? My cell phone of course does not respond to me. Lol, I dont know how it even got in my bed. I must have sleep dialed a few people. Anyway so for you guys this is a glimpse at some of the cooler etsy based projects I have done in the past few days. You might know I few of these names ;)

My New Business Card Design = Stellar!



Inkihandmade Business Card Design = Clean Pimp


Nemesis Productions Stationary and Label Design = Saucey Mamacita

Wheeee...Ooooowwww!

Business all day everyday! Thats the champion way right? They work hard and then play hard. Lol, I have no idea where that came from but it sounded good. In other news its V-day Month you guys and I am sure everyone is "Oh SO Excited". I myself am not. I am more excited about Saint Paddy's Day which would equal me going out with friends and playing games and drinking until we all remember that we have big kid jobs and shamefully go home at 2 am. So with that in mind what does this month have in store? I can tell you what my blog has in store!!!! Lol, this saturday everyone can expect a page or more of "Tales From Etsy Land". I know I know everyone is all excited and throwing their children over board into the ocean.
In other news I found out what the cool feel of ice really feels like. As I strolled down the streets groceries on my back I felt a slight push. By push I mean I fell down lol. Like hardcore on the ice I landed like spiderman...or more like that guy who always lands fist down. Whats his name? Anyway after that event I then leaped up and acted like I was trying to get my cell phone out of my pocket and slid the rest of the way to Chase Bank.
Lol, so with that being said. Anyone else having fun with this freezing weather?

Also I am whoring myself out for the pillow give-away at:

I love those mfn pillows I just am too cheap for my own good

I am tired very tired. Lol, but that wont stop me from playing around on my blog/s today. I have a lot of catching up to do and enough time to do it in. I received a call from my Dad this morning saying "Don't go outside! Don't go to Staples." Lol, in my sleepy state I assumed the zombie attack was upon us. It was more or less to let me know that if I stepped 4 feet outside I would have instantly frozen and been but a memory. So all the things I was going to do today has been postponed until tomorrow. Which is good bad. I have a few errands to run for a potential upgrade in designer positions and probably should have braved the mfn cold for it but I am going to trust my dads judgement on this one. He called me at 7am!!!!!
In other news I went to the dentist on Monday and they were all about my teeth. I have healthy teeth but not so healthy gums. So while my teeth equal no cavities and infections my gums equal the dreaded number 4!. When you are in the dentist chair and they check the areas around your gums and teeth they call out numbers. 1 and 2 are good 3 and 4 means its getting bad but if you get a 5 that means you seriously now have to come to the dentist every 3 months instead of 6.
So with that behind me I played with my sisters dog and even got Rallys/Checkers.
So thats the catch up on me. Now time for the good stuff.
I have a new design for you guys. I know how much you love my banners *snickers* and by banners I mean the comic that I drew. Lol, so I am going to post something cooler than a comic. Which would be one of my failed banner sets. I actually drew the design in the background of this. Its 100% clem done but the reason why I Vito'd this design was because I didnt find it cool enough. I am sure someone would have like it but I found it too plain and generic and I didnt feel that it separated my banners from anyone else who could draw and intricate design.

Forever Away

Amanda had always been a quiet soul. She never asked for anything even when it was needed and always found herself in the worst of situations. She had been waiting on a sign of some sorts as she walked to the park. In one hand her house keys and in the other a note. It was a cool day and there was still snow on the ground that had began to melt. She felt like she had been waiting for this her whole life. She began to cross the over pass and stopped and looked into the river below her and tossed her keys into the water.
A soft plunk noise echoed back up to her and she looked at the sun. Brilliant white light in the sky kissed her eyes in return. She closed her eyes and held the moment in her mind. Every thing around her stood perfectly still and this moment was her forever.She walked down the slight hill and the snow that hadn't yet melted crunched under her feet. She made her way to the river tightly clutching the note in her hand.
Standing at the edge of the river her reflection danced against the water. She slid her right foot in and closed her eyes. Snow was still around the edge of the river and caused the water to be near freezing but she didnt mind.She slid in her left foot and found that everything was becoming cooler. She opened her eyes and she couldnt see her breathe as she breathed out. She took one look around and not a soul was out on this bright blue day.She took the note and ran her fingers around her note to a little vessel around it. She pulled out the stopper and refolded the note smaller and shoved it into the vessel. She replugged it and hid it back under her shirt.The water became a comforting cool against her skin and she smiled.
She closed her eyes and fell in. The river current pulled her under the thin sheets of ice in some areas and bobbed her up whenever she hit the areas without ice. She felt alive in the tumble and tussle and thought of nothing but the river rushing around her. She prayed that the water be the only thing her skin would ever feel. She opened her eyes and saw the ice above her and slid her hands across its surface as she was pushed under it.
The cars passing knew nothing about the woman under them and in the river. The birds who perched on the trees along its edge didn't notice the dark shadow as it rushed under them. The air she once was standing in existed without knowing she had.
As Amanda let out the last bit of air she had been holding something weird happened. Her necklace with the tiny vessel snagged something. She stopped instantly and found herself no longer at peace with her situation. She grabbed at the string of the necklace and attempted to get it over her head. The string wouldn't budge off of her and Amanda put both feet on the bottom of the river. Her head hit the chunk of ice above her and panic set it.She banged on the ice and scratched at it. The sun had weakened the ice and given her a chance of escape by pure luck. As her head burst through the ice the necklace let go and she found herself able to move again. She dragged herself out of the river and sat on its side. Shaking and scared she reached her hand out to the necklace on her neck to see what had caught it. Shining back at her were her house keys. They had gotten tangled on a branch hanging into the frozen river and then gotten tangled on the necklace around her neck.
She stood up legs shaking and wobbly and ripped the necklace. She tossed it into the river and climbed her way to the nearest road in search of help and a ride. As the necklace sunk into the river water it smacked into a rock. A rock 4 times the size of Amanda that would have cracked her open like a coconut. As water filled the vessel the note insides ink began to bleed out. As the words began to erase themselves a piece of the note caressed the inside and read as follows
"For everyday tried, for every second lost, I have always loved you even though you were forever away. With much love......" The water quickly rushed in erasing the name and just as it entered its watery graveyard soft petals flew from a near by car window kissing the sky just like Amanda's eyes once had. The car stopped and let Amanda get in.
