So I know I have not been on here in awhile, I lurk, but rarely do much aside from favorite. I'm thinking of deleting this whole profile... I can't believe it's been 12 years... I've never been very consistent (or good) at this art thing haha.

I just feel kind of bad that everything will be deleted, most of all, all the favorites I've collected over the years... I know I don't remember most of them, and there are hundreds more every day... I really wish I had started to sort them into collections, but at the point that feature was introduced I had already gone wayyy too far lol.

I guess another consideration would be to give my page a major clean-up (deleting all of my old *sometimes* cringe journals from when I was 15, cleaning up my gallery) and just leaving it here for when I browse and lurk... I had been considering moving any future writing and art endeavors to Tumblr, but it seems like it's easy to lose your work in the void with all the reblogging and whatnot that happens there.

I am sad that not much has been happening artistically as of late, but like a broken record I declare that I wish to change that soon... sometimes there honestly isn't a reason for me to not settle down with my laptop and tablet and crank out a couple of hours of SOMETHING, or even just a notepad and some pencils... so we'll see. Despite my life having changed in the past couple of years and becoming busier for the better, thoughts of drawing and writing still swirl in my head weekly if not daily, so I know the spark is still in there somewhere

I guess this isn't quite goodbye yet, maybe just rambling as I try to consider the future of my humble little art thing

Hmm, I got tired of seeing that old journal haha, to be exact 11 months old! Wow  
EDIT: GAHHHH, no wayyyyy, last journal entry was in 2013?! Double WOOW  


2015 has certainly been... an interesting year for me. It started out so lovely but left me feeling not very interested in any creative endeavors... and then it kind of went south and zapped my creativity. But I am interested into getting back in everything I shoved to the side... art, writing, making cute shoe doodles

So maybe you will see something from me soon?
Let's hope so, my mind and emotions have been so conflicted lately, but I want to return to being normal  
Especially since I bought a new tablet a few months ago... what the hell?! Break it out you damned silly goose, cut your veins, and bleed your creativity all over it! THE ART GODS DEMAND A SACRIFICE!  

Haha, okay, getting a little silly... byee~

A truely random dump of questions

I hate tagging people! But let's seeee....

Let's kick this journal off with an interesting little tidbit: At least five strangers have a video of me getting spanked in a loud, dimly lit room. That's right, another trip to fabulous Las Vegas has come and gone, and this one brought some very fun experiences... going to the Mob Experience, getting the chance to work for a big Mob Boss and get flirted up by an Irish police officer, going to the amazing Hofbräuhaus for delicious Jaeger Schnitzel, two enormous beers, and a Jägermeister/Spank combo, and seeing Criss Angel appear and reappear (okay, I make fun of him, he's a bit cheese haha). Halloween was, as usual, great in the city of Sin <3

Now I've been back in the real world for awhile, job is still riding my ass, but it's alright and having my own money is nice. My laptop feels like it's on it's last legs, it's about five years old or so... hopefully I can find one for a good deal soon. Why are they all touchscreen nowadays?! It tacks on at least a $100 for something I find very useless and unnecessary... I want a laptop, not an iPad.

Anyway, any artistic endeavors have been sparse lately, but I hope to get back on that horse soon. How was your Halloween spent?

Note to self, never leave DeviantArt for too long, because when you come back your inbox will be choking.
Only a month or so gone and I come back to tons of messages... and at the beginning of the month I got another job that has really sunk it's teeth into any creative endeavors I have/had, although to anyone who is waiting... I will pick up soon enough where I left off.
Let's see, an impromptu trip to Las Vegas was, as always, very nice and kind of blurry. The HIM concert I awaited with bated breath was CANCELLED on the first night (Ville was ill, unfortunately), although I did have a wicked time at Bats Day and Disneyland, so it made up for the loss... although I hope for some concert-y goodness in the future.
I have not much else to say... so... Auf Wiedersehen~
