For some reason the website [url] http://alchemy-illuminated.com [/url] still exists (April 30th was the cutoff date i failed to make) and at least if all else fails we have this forum nobody ever cares to read anymore.
My BIG plan was to sell paintings on the alchemy site, which I still indeed to do, and in my sketchbooks my paintings have improved unless I was angry. Had a few people lined up and ready to buy those paintings, but that fell through like everything does. May seem like I make a small bit of progress from time to time, but that's only because I exhuast myself trying to find the Stone of all Stones.
Just got this one little problem where alchemy puts the fun spirit
back into me, so during the day I can make myself laugh "and I say ah-ha made you laugh". But I attempt to stay awake as long as possible (which usually involves TV at night then Im done for) and then after I fall asleep its all gone forever (the cheerful me) and I wake up wanting to at least push a "pause" button on this never-ending nightmare of a life.
