Or, as much as I ever was, anyway.

HI!

As you might've noticed (you didn't,) I haven't been active on dA in a while (an inexcusable amount of time.)

WHY, you ask?

Welp, here's my reasons: I've been hanging out on Twitter a lot, bickering with people about politics and which Homestuck character is the best. I've also been writing a lot of fanfiction. There's a story I haven't updated in half a year, and I really needed to buckle down and figure out the ending.

Another thing I've been trying to do is actually making friends. As in, real-life friends who you hang out with awkwardly at restaurants and movies. You know. The scary ones I don't know how to make. I joined the anime club at my college, and I reconnected with a kid who I met a year or so ago who loves Invader Zim and Bleach. That takes a lot of time and energy ... after I hang out with people, I usually need a whole day to recuperate.

The MAIN reason (yes, here we go, the fun stuff) is college. It started August 27th, and though my classes are all fun ones that I don't mind working at, it's still time-consuming. I have to write papers for a lot of them, so I've been spending a lot of time researching them so I don't have to do them all the night before they're due.

THE GOOD NEWS? I have been working on your requests and commissions. Now that I'm trying to digitally color things, it takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'll try to get them up in the near future since a lot of you have been waiting patiently for ages.

Oh, and ONE MORE THING. Have you played Slender yet? I'm getting really determined to beat it. I made a map and have been "training" for days to memorize the layout of the forest. It's terrifying, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. I'll let you know when I do it!

I hope you're all having a good September! I'll talk to you soon.
