Hello all.

I've been a long time out of contact but I haven't left completely.

Recently music and costuming have taken up a significant amount of my time. Music more at this point than costuming since I'm dead broke all the time (not by lack of budgeting but simply from lack of MONEY and too many bills). -_-

I've recently gotten some new software and a few things that're kicking my rear back into digital drawing though. I'd like to start posting my art again...

In the meantime if any of my watchers or friends around here want my contact info to keep in touch comment or send me a note.


Later ~

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told...
Every thought - the music I write...
Everything, a Wish for the Night.

Just another random journal to get the super long quiz off my front page. Haven't been posting much art obviously, my more traditional mediums are stored away at the moment.
I'm doing alot more sewing/costume design and research into cosplay for Dragon Con this year (Only a month away! ^_^) There are actually some pretty talented cosplayers on DA it seems.
Also I've come across a group in which a few members are professional or semi historical reenactors. I'm gonna be learning alot about costuming/clothing/sewing it seems in the future.

Anyways, not to bore you all. I do miss the DA crowd even though I barely keep in touch.
As for the rest of the family ~ Diego is doing fine. Little age on him nowdays but he's happy I'm riding him regularly.
The ferrets are happy as always, but alittle miffed that my new job has kept me from playing with them at night...

Anyways, ta for now

Hmm. So I missed my 5,000th page view it seems...

I admit. I need some fresh art. Been doing more textile and photography art lately than drawing.
my scanner died...again. Would you believe it? But I have a new one. (again)


2007 was interesting. A few life changing meetings and experiences... Hopefully 08 will continue in that trend (the good part).


[Oh and PS> Happy birthday to me. And 4 whole days of vacation. YaY]


More to come.

^(Dun ya freakin love that emoticon?! LMBO)
Long time no rants.

My summer = Dragon Con. Freakin awesome geek slumber party. Met friends even, who'd have thought?

Sept=getting to know friends and work. Pleh.

Oct=fights with parents and work stress. Need to move OUT.

Nov=.....hehe. Work interview and a certain someone coming to visit me after 3 months of not seeing them. Many things happened that have not happened in nearly 6 years for me.

Now it's all lonely though... back to life as usual.

I started drawing again to combat my boredness. First digital painting in many months if not a year... check her out. Inspiration came from listening to album after album of Nightwish.

'Till next time...

Over the hills and far away...
