So I found out about an hour ago that one of my dogs passed away in the night. I was just about to get up and start getting ready for class too when my mom's boyfriend told me... It doesn't even feel real right now, like my girl- my sister- she's dead. But I can't stop crying and I can't even bring myself to go downstairs because I can see her wrapped up in a sheet. She was also my mom's dog, and my mom loved her a lot; we had to call my mom this morning because she's out on a business trip. She was coming home from that trip tonight. I could tell she was crying when we told her; I was too. However, we didn't want her walking in the door expecting her lovable old dog to come running at her when we she wouldn't. I can't even bring myself to go say goodbye to her.... I don't want to see her body; I don't want to see that she's not breathing and I don't want to feel that she's not warm like she always was. I don't if I even feel up for heading out today, but I know class is important and I shouldn't miss it. I'm just not sure I can go through with all of that right now without bursting into tears in the middle of a lecture...

I'll be posting some of the pictures I have of her when I get the chance, but right now I just- I don't know what to do anymore. I'm still blubbering about this and every time I look around the corner of my stairs, I can see the sheet. She was such a sweet old girl too- yeah, we knew she was an older dog, but she was only 11 or 12; doc said she should've had a few more years in her.

I've gotta figure out what to do with my other dog right now- he's only 4 and he grew up with her as a motherly figure. I don't know how he's going to deal with being alone today, so I want to stay home with him(aside from my own reasons) but I don't know if I can stay in the house knowing her body is right in the den and that I'm too scared to say goodbye.

i feel tired and lost and I don't even know what to do just shit fuck and God dammit

So... I'm not one to post journals often, and I'm also not one to post join.me's, livestreams, or any other various method of art-watching. But I'm just feeling in the mood- usually I just stream with friends, but I figured SCREW IT-

If you'd like to watch, feel free to join the chat! I'm not terribly talkative, but I'll try to check in and answer any questions! I've been leaving my streams silent in case any viewers would like to listen to their own music, so get that Pandora station/Youtube playlist ready!
Totally not because Sketchy worries about what people will think about her music choices.

The schedule tonight is pretty lax- Normally, I would start off with a character in my head that I want to draw, but my brain's just pulling a really long, hard blank; so, in order to fit with the coming season, I figured I'd start doodling up creatures- horrifying or not will be up to the individual, but the idea is just to draw whatever comes to mind to the best of my abilities. 

I may take character requests as the stream goes on, but I'll post in the chat when I'm feeling in the mood to take those requests. Otherwise, I may refer to the chat for phobia recommendations; generally speaking, I'll probably ask for what the audience finds creepy/disturbing, then try to influence what I'm working on by the answer.

It's really just going to be a laid-back night, so come with some popcorn or likewise late-night snack and prepare for a Sketchy's first public stream!
