After a year away...
Welp, I got an email saying my subscription had run out so I came back to check up on dA. Thousands of journals and about ten thousand artworks later, I feel like my inbox doesn't hate me.
Also, there's a thing on my page saying I've been on dA for six years! That's SIX YEARS.
And I've been neglecting it for the past year or so. Why? Life. Earthquakes. University. The SCA.
I'll try and hang around more often, but you all know how bad I am at keeping promises, so maybe not.
But here's the important bits of the past year:
I own a house. Really. I'm like a real people or something.
I became the Chatelaine of the local SCA group.
I got int
Thank you, aftershock.
We had a sizeable aftershock over the weekend, during which my computer screen made a bid for freedom; I can only assume it was trying to reach the window.
I managed to retrieve it from the floor before it could get any further, but I haven't dared turn my computer on since because if the screen is busted it means I have to deal with insurance things.
It doesn't really matter. I've already failed at updating the comic on time. I swear, I have about five more weeks' worth of comics in a neat pile beside my computer. I just foget to upload them. Maybe I should change the schedule to "Whenever I get around to it." It'd be more honest that way.
Not dead.
For any of you who have heard the latest news from Christchurch NZ:
I'm ok. Most of the people I know are ok. Stuff has been broken and damaged, but compared to the loss of life the loss of property is insignificant.
Christchurch has been declaired a disaster zone after the massive 6.3 aftershock from the September earthquake, and we're still suffering smaller aftershocks of between 4 and 5.3.
Worst of all, perhaps, was the collapse of the Cathedral spire, the very center of Christchurch city. It's almost symbolic of the death the city has suffered, and I doubt it will ever be restored to its former glory.
Whatever happened to the holidays?
Work was so time-consuming. I got nothing done during those six weeks. Ugh.
I have to get my computer set up so that I can get stuff scanned. Secret Wars needs posting.
Meanwhile, I've been taking advantage of the give one get one free deal on premium memberships. Easiest Christmas presents to get you guys :)
Merry Christmas!

Red cross work? Wow. That's kind of you. However, if you're working with the pictures and such, not to mention you've been in the earthquake, I'd suggest seeing a psychiatrist. Trauma isn't anything to laugh at and it can sit far far deeper in you than you'd first think. You might find out you need one, or you may just confirm you don't. Regardless, it won't hurt you.
Slightly inconvenient with the university, but it's better than nothing huh? As for the website, I've been tinkering a bit, though our teach has been rather rough on it us catching up on the things we missed due to portfolio work. I haven't given up though. If I can find a way to combine that package with a standard web page and split it out...
