Not Canceled

4 min read
During this time you may read all sorts of horrible(er) things happening right now about COVID-19.fear revamp 
Things are looking like a plague is dancing its way merrily across the world, the death toll rises by the 100's every hour (I find it strange that the number of confirmed cases neither seems to rise or fall, and its less then helpful that news agencies seem to think that people will keep calmer when they don't post the number of survivors alongside the number of dead:notimpressed: ) everyone is loosing their minds their minds to the true pandemic of this time- toilet paper sickness:crazy:  (I can say this, trust me I work in a small grocery store!).

Festivals and concerts have been canceled :powerslide: 

Sports have been canceled (except for horse and car racing, who knew they would be the last ones standing!)Soccer 

Travel has been banned Blinky's Plane: For Lupeth , people are confined in their homes House 

And people in the medical profession are going through what sounds like the equivalent of WWIII for us :cure:  :livedamnyou: :evilnurse:

Governments around the world are passing bills hundreds to thousands of pages long that take away many human rights and size a great deal of power for themselves, all in the name of protection against crona virus Palpatine Unlimited Power Icon (how does online encryption and privacy have to do with stopping this virus senator?)
But you know what's NOT canceled? HOPE. Hope is not canceled. So there's that. Bliss 

So I want to remind people (not that many people will read this but who knows!), about something I remember being very popular a few years ago (maybe more ok? I'm an old lady now, everything popular back in my day was a few years ago!Double Stinkeye )
 It's this


Remember this? Now would be a good time for this (please do carry on with hand-washing, that is super effective). Please don't panic:panic: , Please don't submit to greed and hoard so there's nothing left for othersGreed , please try not to stress out (lowers your immune system, and its bad for your overall health):bath: I love...tea  remain calm and rationalForget Me Not Flowers Please don't live in fear, even in this scary time moonflower  This too shall pass. Here's some virtual hugs because I know lots of people are alone in their house under quarantine without loving contact and it makes them feel sad which makes me sad so here's some cuddles!:cuddle: :cuddle:: cute glomp :  Nuzzling cuddle:glomp: remake  :cuddle: Emote Cuddle Love :cuddlechild: :hugpile: :glompo:

So, I've been away for about....3 years now? (yes we noticed Ladle Facepalm ) and I am sorry, I do feel regretful....not quite like I abandoned people but kinda like I did. I'm really sorry internet friends please forgive me.onion sad 

But alot of stuff happened! And I just kinda fell off the bandwagon of deviant art.

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, my grandmother was too for reals this time (for you who may or may not have been reading "keeping up with the ladles", she's had a false positive before), I was working two part time jobs and was failing really badly in school-even though I was only going part time. Ashamed
But not all was dark and gloomy, far from it! (ok there was a lot of darkness and gloom, but not so much that it was at least half-way manageable I'd like to think!) See during this time Ladle fell in love! Magical :D  I don't say 'got a new crush' because this time it was different. This time......it was mutual. Love is... 


And so yeah, thats the story or how Ladle went through a dark time and started dating her first boyfriend-anyways moving on! I am a dummy!



Anyways, now I'm working a full time job and a part time job (on and off, its on an 'ass-needed-bases'). I'm taking an online course for plumbing, because I want to learn a trade and traditional college was.....not working out for me. Hopefully with this I'll be able to get an apprenticeship and have ample well-paying job opportunities and be able to take care of my family. :ladummyhighfive:   I hope to be a bit more on here, post more of my writing and perhaps some of the sketches I did over the years I've been gone. Would like to go back to doing some watercolors, haven't really kept up on that. However I am at the send of my spiel!
 
Thank you for your patient reading (if you indeed did read this) and I hope you have a great *insert the of day you are currently experiencing*  moonflower

All right, so I do apologize (in case anyone has felt slighted or otherwise short-sheeted in my absence) for not being a very pro-active follower or producing much of anything.

13 Facts


1. I'm terribly fond of chocolate. CHOCOLATE Terribly.

2.) My favorite color is green. Maybe it's because I was born in the spring and there's a lot of green things during that time, but for whatever reason I like it. It's my favorite. green.

3.) I wrote my very first poem when I was 9. Unironically, I called it 'The Poem'. A bit unimaginative wasn't I? :lol:

4.) I can't eat fish. It makes me puke. :B

5.) I don't draw men or boys very well. They all look like my brother when he was 12 years old. ONE DAY I'LL MAKE PROGRESS!:shakefist: for KashaPaw

6.) I'm learning American Sign Language. I've take two semesters of it, and I found it very enjoyable. We were the most giggly class. All the other next door classes got jealous cause it sounded like we were having lots of fun (spoilers; we were).:dignity-laugh:

7.) I don't drink coffee :bademoticon:. Ever since I tried some when I has five (which to a five year old, it tasted like pure DIRT), and I haven't been really brave or bold enough to try it again.....

8.) I am considering doing up a mini comic series (not sure if I'm even using those words correctly...) about my life, or at least little funny bits, with the main star being a bear. Ahhh, there's so much potential for chibi shenanigans! cute bear heart

9.) I need to eat more vegetables (ok, that was more of a reminder for myself rather then a fact). Carrot

10.) I've recently discovered the musical genre of 'electro swing'......and I like it! Put your fingers in the air  My favorite song right now is "Butterfly" by the Swingrowers.

11.) Bought my very first pair of real high heels (they're 3 inches, usually stores only have dress shoes my size in 1 1/2 at most), and so I've been learning how to walk properly in them. Yes there's a certain way you have to walk, or you mess up the heel of your shoes, or your ankle. I had to get my mum to give me a few lessons.

12.) Seals are my favorite animal. :sealclap: They're in a pretty close tie with horses, unicorns, and dragons. :seala:

13.) The last fact is so secret, that it was converted into binary for safe keeping. Memory Eraser

Thoughtfully tagged by :iconcomatose-comet:, then us begin! :glompo: 


The Questions:
i. favourite word in another language?
Right now at this very moment it is the Finnish word for 'rainbow', which is 'Sateenkaari'.
ii. any embarrassing misconceptions/misunderstandings you had as a child?
None that I can remember.....lucky me.
iii. what's a word/theme/colour etc you feel you overuse in your work?
For my writing, the word "the" and "and" :lol:. As far as theme's go, I would say "fantasy" for both my drawing and writing. Color that I overuse would be gray I think. Lots of pencil work, I can't help it. =P
iv. what's your favourite piece in your own gallery?
Ugh! Though choice!! Ok I'll only choose one piece out of everything, since you're so mean with your rules! I think my favorite piece is this poem. Little ArtemisI had a little golden arrow,
a quiver and a bow,
and flew into the throne room,
singing as I go.
There was a queen in black,
she sat me on her satined knee,
absently stroked my ringlets,
while I munched on winter green.       
probably not my best work, but it makes me feel a bit airy inside.
v. and what about in your favourites?
OH YOU ARE SO MEAN! How am I to choose?! :screaming: All right I've solved my quandary, here's a link to my choice. irideamagicalladle.deviantart.…
vi. do you collect anything?
Hopes and dreams, and glass bottles to. But only the very last if they're interesting or unusually shaped.Icon C: 
vii. would you get a tattoo? and where?
Unless it was a Henna tattoo, no.:nope: 
viii. what about piercings?
Well I already got my ears pierced, so I guess that. Nothing fancy, just the plain-old boring one in each lob deal. :shrug:
ix. what are three qualities that you look for in a best friend?
I actually happen to have only three basic rules that i use when I look for friends. Wheeeeee emote 
1.) Are they shaped like a friend? (usually a yes)
2.) Are they nice like a friend? (sometimes yes)
3.) Did we try to kill each other when we first met? (no comment)
x. favourite gif/emoji/slang?
No favorite emoji's sorry. As far as gifs go though......I kinda just ran across this......
This is the most important thing you need to see from “Peter Pan Live!”
xi. what's your favourite nickname that anyone's given you?
"Ala-second", which really isn't a nickname but my little sister use to call my this when she tried to say my name when she was a baby. It was a combination of the first part of my name and the fact that I was the second child. I still think its cute.I am Love..Onion 
xii. a novel you wish you could reread without knowing the ending?
Hmmm. Maybe 'The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All The Way Home' by Catherynne M. Valente
xiii. and what film always cheers you up after a hard day/when you're ill etc?
Any one movie from The of the Lord of The Ring's triology.
