Well, well, well, kiddies, it has been quite some time, has it not? How have all of you been? Doing alright I hope, at least most of you. Not everyone can be doing good, just the way of life. To all of my old friends I hope I have notkept you waiting for too long, and to all the new kiddies out there, welcome aboard!!

I have so many messages and Deviantions to go through. It is crazy insane. I have well over 8,000 Deviants dating way back to April of 2007!! My replies nly date back to March of this year, and my activity dating back to August of 2007!! GADS! I am so behind in everything. If I have not responded to anything you may have sent me, please be pateint with me. I have had very little access to a computer over the course of these past two years. I hope you can all forgive me.

It has been a very hectic two years for me. I have lost a lot of good people in my life and have dumped some bagage along the way. I have reconnected with old, but extremely amazing and loving friends, and have made some new ones along the way, where as I let some go that were just dragging me down. I have been through a hell of a lot and I beilieve I have grown stronger, but only time will tell if I have. To those of you who do know what I have been through and who have helped me out along the way, I thank you, and you know who you are. As for those of you who do not, then if just means that you either do not care, or were not close enough to me to care. I do not mean to sound harsh, but that is just the way it is. I have had one person in particular, who I talk to outside of DA, but met on here, who has always been there for me through the roughest of times, and wh has always looked out for me and cared for me. You are always there to pick me up when I am down, always there to make me smile. Without you, I would not be able to look at this world and smile. Knowing that you are here for me, gives me strength. I am pretty sure you know who you are. I will always be grateful for the kindness that you have shown me since you got to know me. *HUSGS*

Some of you know that I attend Virginia Marti College of Art and Design, and have been since October of 2006. Though what you may not know is that I had to take an almost ten month break from there in order to straighten my life back out. I will not list the details, but if you care to know what all has been happening in my life, send me a note, and I will try to tell you what has been going on. I would say in here, but I know hardly any of you would care to know.

I have been on DA for almost three years now. Some of you have been there with and for me since the very beginging, others have come and gone, but I hope you will all stick around with me for another three years, and more!

Well, Kiddies, that shall be all, for the time being. I have not a clue as to when I will return. It could be tomorrow, the next day, a week from now, or a year, but regardless of when I return, remember to keep your head up and to continue to create amazing art and to do what makes you the happiest. Until then take care of yourselves.
