Quick post... seems like all of them are that way lately

We've been in a dead zone as far as moving is concerned. We're not packing up and we've only looked at a few houses. It's like everyone but me is in denial that we have to move AGAIN. I keep bringing it up, but I keep getting told to "not worry about it." Naturally, that is the most annoying thing anyone can be told. I almost want to worry just to spite them.

Anyway, I'm not really sure what we're gonna do at this point. I love for things to be spontaneous and unpredictable, but I like that to be on top of something solid for me to fall back on when the spontaneous something leads to disaster. Not knowing *exactly* what the plan is has left me quite stranded, and therefore depressed.

So I did what I always do when I'm depressed: I started rereading The Wallflower for the umpteenth time. Once again, thanks to Hayakawa-sama, I've managed to laugh myself out of the worst of my depression. I even felt good enough to work on a painting, which I had thought I wouldn't be able to do for awhile. My creative energy has been all mixed up and weird, and even Soren is behaving himself.

Anyway, I painted his picture of Sode no Shirayuki, Rukia's zanpakuto spirit from Bleach:


It's a visual pun, for those of you who don't know. Rukia releases her zanpakuto's power with the command "mai" which means "dance" in Japanese. So I thought it would be punny to draw Sode no Shirayuki actually dancing. It was fun, too. Distracted me for awhile and I'm very proud of the outcome. I've really come a long way as a painter. I've still got quite a ways to go, but I love seeing marked improvement.

As soon as I know anything about the move, I'll post it.
