Hello! First of all, thank you for stoping by. No matter how breif or crazy or small my replies in comments or shouts may be, I feel very lucky and thankful to have people pay attention and view my artwork or my postings. It means a lot to me, not the least a certain amount of validation for the things I say and do, but validation that I exist and someone else notices that I exist, so I guess in the honest sense of the word, namaste.

Second, I'm really glad that Weasyl has picked up so far in the way it has. Even though it's still in beta and still has a few rough edges to iron out, it seems to be working wonderfully for me. To everyone who brings an honest, whole-hearted and open minded viewpoint to the artwork and people contributing to the site here, thank you for being a part of this, and thank you for having me as a part of this site.

Third, MIDTERMS oh my goodness. I didn't fully realize what this meant for me, since none of my classes have midterm exams in the way some chemistry or math classes have them, but wow I have a lot of work cut out for me. More than I have ever had in any academic setting before. It's scaring me a little bit, so I'm going to have to exercise as much of my willpower and focus on these assignments and studying as I can. And this means.... staying away from the more fun parts of the internet. Yes, this means not visiting Weasyl or DA or FA or tumblr for a couple weeks or so... Since Weasyl has a mobile upload system, maybe you'll see a couple more Instagram pictures of quick sketches, but really for now, I'm going to be very very scarce when it comes to the pleasure parts of the internet. I'll still be frequenting twitter as a 'this is how I feel right now' and 'wow I'm having some trouble' or 'oh this happened at this point in time at this location' kind of outlet, but appart from that, I'm going to try to focus most of my attention on school.

That being said, I really, really don't want to bother asking my parents for any extra money to buy things like sticky notes, energy drinks, Tylenol PM, cigaretts, and whatever other paraphernalia that makes life a little bit easier on me, so you might see me having more Pay What You Want (PWYW) Livestreams, where I will take in-stream, as-you-come sketch and simple lineart (and perhaps simple color) commissions. I plan to do the PWYW streams most every friday nights, but you may catch one at the end of the day on tuesdays and thursdays, or in the middle of the day on saturday or sunday. Regular commission slots are still open, and take priority over these streams, but I will probably still stream them for anyone who would like to watch on the weekends.

Whew. Wow. College is sneaking up on me and I can never be one step ahead, can I? A friendly reminder to everyone to eat their vegetables and make sure you're body is flowing properly. The small things can really get you down.
