It's time to post it...

Major Edit: I need people to know that I deleted my alternate account due to lack of activity and whatnot. But I am giving my legion verse some special attention because it is something I do hold near and dear to my heart... it is my baby. I'm just not sure if it's going to get an account here. That's something I'm gonna be discussing with my partner.

So, I know I've been kind of a shadow this past week or so to everyone I know and love. I do apologize, especially to my best friend in the whole world, nscmseiyaryu. I've been missing you hardcore and I'm seriously debating on a trip to see you because you know, just because!! Friendship goals right there. *laughs*

On the other hand, I do have some pretty bad news to share. My former laptop, Lazarus has officially died and managed to claim another victim in the process, or at least his hard drive has. We tried to switch the hard drive to another Toshiba to extract all the data I needed but instead, the hard drive claimed another victim. The laptop no longer works. The hard drive is a serious killer, so it's forcing me to start over. I don't mind really because I want to be better. This is just forcing me to use my imagination all over again!

Guys, I do want to say I'm sorry. I told someone I've been saying that so much that it's probably lost it's meaning but they told me that I'm always so genuine when I say it that it still means the same thing. I can only hope it does. I want to be more active again and connect with all my friends again and commission people like crazy even though I don't have monies. *laughs* And that's what I'm gonna aim to do, even when I'm falling apart at the seams.

    So, I got my brand new tablet in the mail today. I was rather excited because I didn't think it would get here due to it being Sunday and a holiday! Well, thank you for proving me wrong, Amazon!! /laughs/

    It's not quite the tablet I was expecting! I got the downgraded version of my friend's tablet. His tablet pen is rechargeable while mine runs off a battery. Not really complaining. Just need to invest in some rechargeable AAA Batteries! Yeah, those exist at my work! I've never seen them anywhere else honestly... Then again, I don't shop at a lot of places for my electronics. XD

    Well, I'm gonna go and throw back a NOS and get to work on some art pieces. Hopefully having a new baby will encourage me to draw. Also, this glove... it feels amazing!! It reduces contact between your hand and the tablet. It's so soft and comfortable. I'm tying with it on right now and honestly, it doesn't feel strange at all. Or maybe I'm just strange for thinking that.

    That is all!!

    Goodnight!!!

    Hello, friends and artists alike.

    It feels like forever since I was last here, but I do have a serious explanation.

    I injured my knee a few weeks ago and at first I thought nothing of it because you know, those kinds of things happen. The pain remained for a few days and I figured it would pass. I popped pain killers left and right, did some light stretching and relaxed whenever I could. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten better. In fact, I've gotten worse. The pain comes and goes but when it is here, it is severe and I can hardly do anything.

    So, I went to my doctor last Thursday and they did some x-rays which will sadly show them nothing but my bones. The doctor said I should see an orthopedic surgeon so they can determine what might be going on. The best case scenario is that I've just some kind of internal pain that will require some heavier pain killers. The worst case? I'll need surgery because I tore something important. I'm hoping to the deities it's not the latter because that will mean being out of work for six weeks and I can't do that. I wanted to cry when I told one of my managers the story. He sympathized with me and said that if the worst case scenario does come about they'll make an arrangement for me, which I'm grateful for.

    Guys, between this pain and whatever is going on inside my head has been piling up on me. It's not making my life easier and it certainly isn't helping with whatever is causing this art block. I cry because not being able to do what I love hurts more than any mental or physical pain.

    I'm so sorry... for everything. Especially to my dearest friends. I want them to know that I love them so much and I appreciate their support and understanding... It means so much to me.

    Thank you.
