Greetings one and all! I know that I practically fell off the face of the planet, but I am slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) but surely getting back into the swing of art and stuff.

I have been gone for a number of reasons:

1) Real life. Family members are sick, finances are rough, etc. etc. etc...

2) I now have two full time jobs. I currently am working for the state as a GIS analyst, which is cool but getting tedious. My mother's company also hired me to make pamphlets, advertisement fliers, write up articles, and other computer stuff that no one else has the time or know-how to do. I basically go into my state job at 6:30 AM, then go to my mom's work when I get out of there and do stuff all night for them. I basically am in front of a computer practically all the time, every day of the week. Luckily, I often leave my mom's place early and continue to work on stuff at home. It is weird not being in school anymore and being the "REAL WORLD" Dum dum dum...

3) I pretty much have no life, so I take advantage of the few times that I actually get to spend with my friends, go outside, and try to have as much of one as I can manage.

4) I actually joined a gym *GASP!* I go on weekends. I had friends that I knew there who convinced me to go. It is very fun to go and spend time with them while running and running and running... Gosh I need to get out more.

Oh yeah, I have a new version of Photoshop, courtesy of my mom's office to do my "work." (But I am allowed to take brakes... *art art art!*) Take that- stupid virus that wiped out my hard drive earlier! I have done some sketches but I really haven't felt like doing anything artsy in a while. I have been working on a few things on and off though, so that's a start.

Well, I'll be around... now and then.

Oh yeah- I am going to the new Star Trek movie tomorrow! I CANNOT WAIT!!!
