scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

10- I did a speech and it was great! I spoke at the Capitol in Washington state for an autism rally. I explained that adults need services as well as children. After 18 or 21 (depending on the service) it stops after that age, leaving the autistic individual without any services. I want to be an advocate for getting services to the people who really need it. I never thought I would say this, but I love public speaking! Just a few months ago, I was scared to death about it. I never thought this was possible. And to make things better, the gift shop in the Capitol Building might want my art cards from the Famous Artist! Almost everyone who sees these cards wants them badly. The only problem is the timing. I have read that after Christmas in the winter months is the worst for an artist. That is even the worst for the zoos that we sent samples to because a lot of them (the ones where the weather is bad) are closed half the time and not many people visit so they won't order until the spring. Galleries are doing horrible and my art is doing one of the best out of all the artists at the ones that I am at. No one has the extra money for original art, but they are buying my prints and cards. But what the sad thing is that we do better by ourselves (my mom and I) selling my stuff than the galleries and stores! It is because right now my stuff is in small stores that doesn't get a lot of traffic, so its very slow for my cards to sell. People don't go into a pet store for cards, it is more like an afterthought. One of the pet stores that I am in they said that they are selling the pet food but not toys or other items. I just "love" this economy. Not!

-10 Can't sleep again and whenever I look through my photos, I can't help but notice half the people in my life are now gone..

2.5. My brain is not a happy brain today.

4 Aside from the irritating trip to the sec. of state to renew my license and they are having computer issues so i had to leave, I'm having a dandy day! Hopefully I get to go fly my kite on the lake (it's frozen!) which would make this day a 9!

-5

i am about a 7

+5 I'm relieved that I don't feel any depression today. Does that mean I'm almost happy?

Hehehe I'm up to about a +4 now, I just read lots of awesome posts in the random topic forum.

^ Yeah, we post some funny stuff sometimes.

Finally got finished will all that damn homework! I really need to stop putting it off til the last minute.

+5.75 Today actually turned out to be pretty good. No major complaints, and that's all I'm asking. I don't think I need anymore than that.

Not too bad. I'd say +3.

I felt like killing myself the last couple of days. Last night was even worse. Now I feel heaps better and am 9.99

10- I can't wait until August! That is when I am going to be in my next magazine. Its called "Extraordinary Lives" and they said I might be on the front cover of it because I am the Famous Artist! Then I got a letter from the Queen of England thanking me for sending her a picture of a Corgi dog that I drew. When Obama gets his dog, I will draw it and send it to him and maybe he'll send me a letter, too or better yet (only a 1% of happening) invite me to the White House! My mom had a dream about that and that made my business huge because of it in her dream. She said my business was getting 200 orders a week in her dream because of this White House thing and my business made $50 million a year. Just remember Wyland's art business makes $100 million a year. She also had a dream about my brother's business (which is top secret) making $100 million a year. I'll just tell you its in the gaming industry. It seems as if all the orders and magazine stuff is getting pushed back to the second half of the year. Originally this magazine was coming out in April. They said the issue I am going to be in is huge and will be all over the Pacific Northwest (where I live) and it will be in all the doctor's offices and other places as well. The person doing the story said she thinks I am the most amazing person she's ever heard of because of my autism and my "schizophrenia." The reason why is that I am speaking at conferences and changing people's lives for the better. I am an advocate for having services for an autistic individual all through their lives, not just cut off at 21 or whatever age it is. Soon I will also speak at mental health conferences as well. There is (I know I mentioned this before) but there is a small chance for me to speak and get all expenses paid at Princeton University because of a contact I have in New York. By the way I am also going to be in some autism magazines, hopefully sooner than August! I was already in Dog Fancy Magazine but the editor was totally stupid and never mentioned any contact information or that we even have a business in the first place so why would anyone want to Google my name? I think I mentioned that already in an earlier post. But at the same time I am kind of depressed because of the delays in the zoos ordering and other places ordering. It was supposed to start last month and now they are saying mid February or March for some of the companies and April or May for the others. I know all of this sounds like a grandiose delusion but if you think so, my mom can tell you that all of this is reality except the dreams of course! But dreams can become reality!
