some of the little things*

Now Playing: *sound of Daiko thinking*
Topic: bits and pieces
the original title of this entry was "rrgh! (little annoyances and things)" but I decided to change that to something "lighter" instead.

you can read this hidden portion if you don't mind Daiko whining about Paypal

;_; Paypal, I'm not too happy that you don't let people with personal accounts have the same features as the other accounts such as the Business and Premier accounts do... I'm a poor college student, and I don't like having to pay the 3% on my transactions already! ...I don't want to have to pay more so that I can have a higher grade account just to accept credit or debit cards ;_;...

-sigh-

I want some help with this, please
(I'm not too sure of what I should be doing and all- any nice people who are used to ebay here? -if you care, let me know what to do...)

the above was originally posted: 1 November 2004 13:36 EST

this is the continuation of the above.

I did decide on upgrading after all- I found out that it wasn't too big a deal, since I've upgraded the only thing that has changed is that I now pay something like 3% of the money I recieve back to Paypal in exchange for their services but I am now able to take credit card payments- YAY!!

So, I'm happy to say that this problem is resolved~

let's see a bit of where I've walked today, shall we?
DA poll: how long since you've been to an art event?
HMO's Angel Boy in Screentone

Wow, not only is this image beautiful, but the artist appears to have really good "art sense"- I am now quite interested in their work... and I'm amazed by their level of customization within their DA journal- I mean, I didn't even know it was possible to make it look so beautiful like that... wow.

and here's a bit more that I've found on DA today:

Originally for this cut I had said, "this is a temporary cut (I'll remove this later)" but I have changed my mind on that- I believe that this makes the entry look much more better with these links hidden in the cut, so I have not altered this like I said I would much earlier.

I also saw two nice little oekaki boards in someone's signature on DA while I was browsing (I don't like that I can't remember who's signature it was though -sigh-), but here they are:
Mafer's Open Oekaki BBS
Mafer's Oekaki Poteto board


*I'll be getting to some of the "bigger things" later today in another entry if I can- I'll try to cover what I did during the weekend (two parties, All Hallowed Eve observance) as well as some of today's things (possibly, I'll cover All Saints' Day, prayer, and other things as well).

this cut was the original state that I left this entry in after I had first typed this at college earlier.

[/annoyingly unfinished entry that Daiko is temporarily leaving in this state since she is a bit irrated and needs to leave the college to return home to get some work done. *exhalation* -she wishes to speak to a friend before doing so though.]


something like a rant here.

I had talked to my friend sometime earlier (around 12:30p, actually) and I had waited quite awhile for her to come out and talk with me and my brother- it had seemed that we had reached an agreement and that each of us knew what we would be doing, so I went to the library (outside the learning lab) and waited. I went to a computer, did somethings online and waited for an hour... she didn't come out. I dinked around a bit more on the internet for some time after and it became 2pm- she still didn't come out to see me. Finally, it was like 2:30 and I got off the computer and started getting ready to drive home with my brother- I checked in the learning lab and she wasn't there! ...after which, I became a bit irrate and just went home. -sigh-

...I feel like I did something wrong, but did I?
I'm not too sure. -sigh-


****
At the moment, (5:26p to be exact) I am now contemplating whether or not I should take donations for money online (ugh, I think the idea sounds horrible personally- even worse now that I've actually typed this up) I don't think that I will be taking this option, since I would much rather work and earn payment rather than accept charity... but, I won't be giving this much mulling over as I feel that this is just a light passing thought.

I'll do what I can to honestly make money, I won't resort to other options- my heart won't allow for anything other than that.

...

So, would anyone care to commission me? I do have reasonable prices, and I am willing to do artworks starting at $5 (which is quite inexpensive really)
