First, let me start off with apologies to EVERYONE who's had a birthday within the last few months, whether I knew beforehand or not. I think I must've missed almost 10 in April alone. There were enough, here and elsewhere, that I can't even type up that many seperate apologies. (Lotta Spring babies. What was up with our parents nine months before that? ..... No, wait; don't answer that.)
Those of you who I promised art/fic-related pressies to, I don't think I've finished a single one. But I want to let you all know that I haven't abandoned ANY of those things, they're just taking a long time, as usual! Eventually, everyone will get the stuff I promised.

Nearly everything DA-related has been on haitus for the past couple weeks thanks to family drama escalating to idiotic levels. Mainly thanks to the ogre I live with, as some of you know (and can relate to knowing), but I won't go into details because I'm feeling Emo enough already. If you really wanna hear a rant, go ahead and Note me.

If anyone was wondering, (prob'ly not, right?) the thing with Ma fell through, even though she was great about it and was ready to let me move back in. So, in short, no steady internet for me until the ogre decides to get it. Same shit, different month.
Which is really the only reason I haven't been answering messages. As usual, I swear I'm getting to them! I'm not ignoring anyone, just give me time!

As far as new art posts go, I think I'm going to start putting up my older poetry from high school. I figure, if I don't have enough for a publishable collection by now, (which I don't,) it wasn't meant to happen. My creative writing teacher really liked some of it, so I hope they appeal to some folks here as well. ^^ (And that way, I have filler for this current art-lapse! Yay.)
So, that's what you can expect in the coming weeks...

On top of which, I had a small camerawhore moment and did some makeshift Newsies cosplay, but I'm gonna let you guys tell me if you actually wanna see it before I add it here. It's meant to be Jack Kelly, but I threw it together in 5 minutes, so... It's not, like, the level of detail my Halloween costumes have or anything.

Okay... I think that's about it. I shall soon go and try to cancel out my Emo-ness with some Peter Allen and Elton John CDs.
And maybe finish off with some Monkey Island (tm).

(edit: And ze icing on zhat cake... I tripped on a wet patch in the garage walking into Ma’s to post this... Knocked my left knee and my right ankle. God, I love my life. )
