Who do we have here?

Yep, this is going to be one of those typical, "I've been gone, here's what been up with me, here's what's in my future" deals. Heads up, it'll probably be long.

So, first, yes, sorry I've been gone, and no one has heard from me in a while. I admittedly wasn't even lurking here. Lately, I've been pretty much just on Facebook or Tumblr, because Tumblr is actually a really good place for art. Don't worry, I haven't posted much art there, and what I have posted is just Homestuck stuff, so you haven't missed much. I may be reposting some of that art here soon, but who knows.

I don't know why, but when I'm busy with school, coming here just seems difficult. I guess I get too caught up in the art. Also... I may have outgrown this place a little bit. I really hate to say it, but it may be true. I want to come back, though, so I'll be trying.

For those of you that have favourited my stuff or watched me, THANK YOU. I always appreciate it! I used to try to go through and thank every person, but I think that's one reason I left as well, because I hated having those favs and watches piling up and feeling obligated to reply. So, I want be doing individual thanks for those any more.

And I want to send a very special thanks and apology to =decors for trying to keep in contact with me, though I never replied. You deserve all the hugs. If you guys like brilliant stories and beautifully drawn horses, you should go watch her. She has amazing art and is flat-out a wonderful person.

As for me, I just finished my third year of college. It was a really good year, and I'm quite sad it's over. Fall semester I took art classes, and those were fun, and I learned a lot. That reminds me, I should post some of those. Spring semester I just took a lot of super neat animal science classes (I had a class based solely on the science of lactation, and another one about meat production in which I actually helped slaughter animals), and secretly fell in love with this guy. Yeah, that was pretty sad, since I never got the courage to talk to him and he's an exchange student so I'll never see him again, but the journey was really fun.

Turned 21 last Tuesday (not really a big deal, since I don't care to drink anyway), and now I'm working on moving out of my apartment.

I want to really get active on here again, and with summer break having started you'd think that'd be easy, but that bring me to the "here's what's in my future" part.

This summer I have an internship. At a dairy farm. A goat dairy farm. I leave next Saturday. It should be really fun, but I'm getting pretty nervous. Since I'm so introverted I rely heavily on being with at least one person I know in new situation. Now, I'm going several states away to live with a bunch of complete strangers. The first few days/weeks will probably be tough while I get used to it, but hopefully I'll adjust and enjoy myself. Besides, I'll be only 30 minutes away from Louisville, Kentucky, home of Churchill Downs. I just realized that this morning, and since I've never seen a horse race live but have always wanted to I'm super stoked about this. I'm hoping to have plenty of time to spend at the races. If so, I'll definitely take pictures.

I'll be on the farm pretty much all summer, and I don't know exactly how busy I'll be. This means that, though I want to be more active on here this summer in just general art and HARPG stuff, I'll have to wait and see if I have time. I really hope so.  

So, that's about it. I guess I'm just going along for the ride, and when I have time or motivation to do art I will. I won't make any promises, but I want to come back.
