I've wandered away from here, obviously, and I've fairly well let go of doing art, have other things that occupy my time these days. But hopefully I'll be about to at least browse art, though this account is now more for adding comments and favorites. There you go!

I've wandered off from being an art type person, and browsing DA has seriously cut back, clearly. It's added to my bookmarks again, so I'll probably/possibly/maybe browse around here again, but like my presence in some other galleries, it'll more be for giving a name to the favorites for artists more than just an anon person.

I've been sucked into MLP:FIM fandom. It's fantastically animated, it's super well written, and pretty well every episode makes me laugh outloud at least -once- within it. It's got the comic timing learned by watching Warner Bros cartoons and Powerpuff Girls (several of the writers and producers were involved in PPG, and it's kinda obvious) and it's just, really damn fun. I can't praise the animation enough, it's modern and yet not freaky like a lot of Nikelodean or Cartoon Network animation can be these days, the expression you can get out of a pony is hilariously awesome. (My favorite expression is from Filly Rarity as she's letting her horn drag her across the landscape to find a rock. The irritation is just so freakin perfect.)

I kind of hope that Hasbro stops being afraid of doing things actually dramatic and dark, but I think I wont mind if they don't, I can get my fix for drama in artwork here and some fanfiction! And no, I don't have a fanpony yet, or know what my cutie mark would be. I miss the old originals, like Firefly and Melody, but at least I still have my lovely Applejack! (Though Im pretty damn fond of Rainbow Dash...the whole cast is fantastic though, even the CMC) I know it took me a while to fall for it, but it was a lot of fun watching it with my roommates, even if I found the amusement in two people over thirty and one near to thirty sitting and watching a marathon of MLP.

Watch if it you can, it's really quite great.

2. What color is your favorite hoodie? I dont own a hoodie! I dislike long sleeved things.

3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again? Yes. A thousand times.

4. Do you plan outfits? Nope. I pick a pair of jeans/shorts and then a shirt that doesn't look stupid with them. So the extent of my planning is that I don't wear grey with khaki.

5. How are you feeling RIGHT now? Normalish

6. What's the closest thing to you that's red? My bed, because my sheets are red. A flashlight is pretty close too.

Home again in Minnesota. I've been ready to be back here for like, two weeks, tired of routine at parents and ready to have more than nine stations of television, ready to have my room and my bed and my desk and computer chair....

And yet I feel like shit and want to be by my Mom again.

Fucking brain.
