OK. Went to Italy this summer. You can see the photos on mah bukkit if you want.

Then we moved into a nice house in FL.

Taking ONLINE COLLEGE now because there are no colleges in south FL that have the major I need.

Also I officially have no excuse for neglecting my old DA buddies. I've gotten hooked on Yahoo Answers, Fundies Say the Darnedest Things, and 4chan. (Yes, 4chan.)

I'm working on a new picture because my boyfriend (I love you Brian!! <3) wanted to see what he would look like as a furry. Naturally, I took care to draw my beloved in a dignified posture, et cetera, et cetera.

And I've almost finished a quilt. It's pretty. It will go on my bukkit too. Might want to bookmark it if you want anything like regular updates out of me. XD

OK, I think an explanation is in order here.

I have several excuses for not being here for the past 6 months. First of all, I had a heavy courseload last term, culminating in graduation. (I has a degree! )

Secondly, my laptop is broken. Specifically, the little prong inside the AC adapter socket broke off inside the cord. It's not as easy to fix as I thought, and it'll cost a pretty penny to get that repaired. (Laptop is currently in for repairs by a guy who accepts dinners as payments. I will likely be paying this off for the rest of the summer, at least.)

Third, I have changed my religion. For most of you, the To and From are none of your damn business. Friends, however, need only leave a note, and I'll give you all the details.

Reason four? I'm dating a werewolf. No, really.

I'm a kitty-cat!
And I dance dance dance
And I dance dance dance

I SUCK at drawing freehand on the computer >.< So enjoy a fun Ongaru that looks like it was drawn by a 4-year-old.

And yes, I'm fully aware she doesn't have a tail. There was no "tail" piece in the skeleton. XD

I haven't been on DA since my last journal entry and it shows. x.x

Also, found this little tidbit in someone else's journal (name withheld to protect the horribly guilty):

"Anyone who picks on my art, will be blocked from my page and have all their comments hidden. Permanently."

Watch someone offer this kid constructive criticism and be blocked for "picking on my art!" Seriously, folks, if you're easily offended, YOU DON'T BELONG ON THE INTERNET. Go listen to some Yanni or something.

Just got a note the other day, from someone I've never encountered on DA before in any way, shape or form.

This was the note:

Subject: I LOVE you!
OMG! you're a GENIUS! Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ? Free to enter, 100k prizes. You MUST win it!

And this was my response:

...I don't know you, I have no idea which pieces you enjoy so much because you never commented on anything, and I don't much care for online scams.

Thank you for your compliments, and have a nice day.


Let's go through what exactly Mystery Person did wrong here.

1. You did not comment on a single piece. I have no idea which of my poems you liked, and the only reason I know you're talking about a poem in the first place is because you mentioned a poetry contest.

2. You do not love me. You love Internet Me, which is not me. I don't have fur, I don't kill people, and I enjoy a lot more things than Internet Me has ever divulged. And alas, Internet Me is a very fickle and hard-to-please mistress. Go after the young man in your Basic Math class instead, mmkay?

3. I've never heard of anything that gives away that kind of cash for free. It's obviously a scam, Either you're too stupid to realize it's a scam, in which case I don't want to talk to you because you're an idiot, or you're deliberately scamming me, in which case I definitely don't want to talk to you.

4. Your use of the word "must" implies you're trying to force me to enter the contest (which I don't want to do)--nay, to win it (which probably wouldn't happen anyway because it's a scam)! Don't you have anything better to do than perfect your Internet Mind Control?

5. You got your account deleted since you sent me that note. Ha ha, sucks to be you.
