I've left dA for a few years.

I just don't have enough time in my life to pay attention to dA anymore. I got a good job and an amazing girlfriend recently, and in addition to my education and such, I just don't have as much time as I used to.

So I'm leaving. For a couple of years. On 1/1/2014.
Sorry for giving you all so little notice in advance. I just need to focus on other things in my life.
So I'm packing my bags and leaving dA for a while. At least two years, is my estimate.

While I'm gone, I'll miss you all. So in my absence, nothing would make me happier than to see you live great lives. All of you.
And don't try to find me, either. If my lifestyle keeps up, I'll be working at an Apple Store the next time you see me. Life is being too demanding to continue being here.

I'll be back once my life is a lot less hectic and stressful than it is now. So until then, Sayonara!

And before I leave, merry Christmas to you all and may the next few years be full of happiness and wonder.

Farewell!

Hello everybody. I'm back. (And it's been over a year since my last Journal entry!) Well, actually, I've been back, but I just wasn't writing any entries. But anyway, just to let you all know how I'm doing, let me just give you an update on what happened since my last entry (which will take some remembering to do) in no particular order.

1: I got an iPod 4G 8GB, then regretted getting it when the iPod 5G was announced less than 4 months later. :(
2: I got an external hard drive for my laptop, so I tripled my laptop's hard drive space, essentially.
3: My laptop's screen broke yesterday (this time not because of my brother). A new one goes for about $250.00.
4: I got Portal 2, a Cyborg R.A.T. 7 Gaming Mouse, and the Razer StarCraft II Banshee Gaming Headset.
5: I got Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 days after they came out. It wouldn't have been 2 days after their release date if I didn't have them shipped to me. I still haven't beaten either of them.
6: My brother got his laptop in early January. It's an HP ENVY dv6t-7200 Quad Edition with NVidia Graphics, an Intel i7 3rd-Generation Processor, Windows 8 Pro 64, and a bunch of other things I'm too lazy to mention now.
7: He got a Mad Catz R.A.T. 7 soon after. It's exactly the same as my Cyborg R.A.T. 7, but with Mad Catz branding instead of Cyborg branding, it lacks a storage container for its weights, and it lacks a storage case for its additional parts.
8: I became interested in VOCALOID and I got MMD, MME, MMDAgent, and numerous models and other such things for them.
9: My brother's DSi's top screen died and he gave the console to me.
10: I may or may not be getting a 3DS soon.
11: My grandma died on July 8, 2012 at approx. 4:15 PM (EDT). She was 89 years old. She will be missed incredibly.
12: My laptop's screen housing (the black piece of plastic surrounding the screen) got a crack on the right side of it with a new tiny one forming on the left side as well. I use Scotch Tape as temporary fixes until I can get a new part.

And that's all I can really remember. So, yeah. I guess I'll leave it at that. So, until next time, byez! :)

Man, this past week has been really sad for me. On the 20th, my cat died, (TnT) and some other sad things happened too, so I pretty much cried the whole day. Literally. The good thing is that she's in a better place now and that I have a 2-year-old kitten who is really healthy. My other cat died due to old age and other health-related complications. She was 19. The bad thing is that she died on the same day that the former dictator of Libya was killed. (I can't spell his name!) But she's not in any pain anymore, and she wasn't when she died, so now she's buried in my backyard. I miss having her around so much.... In a few months, I'm hoping that I get a new cat, but it's a 50-50 chance. So, yeah, that's pretty much it. Still feeling pretty sad about the whole thing, so some moral support and other stuff like that would be appreciated. (I cried a little while writing this!) So, until my next Journal Entry, bye.

Under much careful consideration, I have decided to NOT go on hiatus for a while, but instead, I'll stop making pictures altogether! Since my schedule doesn't allow for me to make deviations anymore, then if I don't make deviations anymore, then I won't need to go on hiatus! And even if you like my first, last, and only deviation, I won't make any more. Ever. Even if you ask nicely! And if you're wondering about my laptop, I had some trouble with HP today and I made no progress in getting it fixed. The repair guy still hasn't shown and HP Customer Support Agents kept repeating themselves, so I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens. Maybe they're just really busy because it's a Monday.

So, that pretty much wraps it all up. So, until next time, BYE!

Well, I fortunately got lucky with my laptop's broken screen! Originally, I was supposed to ship my laptop back to HP and have it back by the end of the month, but here's where I got lucky: When I built my laptop online, I opted for the HP Total Care Pack 2 Year Plan, which included Accidental Repair House Calls. Since I only got it in October 2010, the plan obviously didn't expire yet, and that means that later on this week, some guy from HP will come over to my house and fix my laptop for me along with some other problems I've had with it! But since I've joined a gym recently, I don't have any free time to make deviations anymore. So after my laptop is fixed, only one more month of summer vacation pretty much. I'm actually thinking of quitting DA altogether really. I'm sorry if you liked my first, last, and only deviation, but don't worry. It'll still be around! I WILL NOT delete my user, I'm just going on a DA Hiatus for a few years. Or forever. Who knows? I'll have to remove everything from my inbox and watchlist, so it'll be a few days until I actually go offline. I hope that if I come back, (keyword is IF there) most of the people who are currently on my watchlist will still be here, but who knows? Things change.

Also, early next month, two things happen:
1.) My Birthday (8/7)
2.) I'm heading to Albany, New York and taking Amtrak from there to Niagara Falls.

So, I guess that's it. I've had a good time here, but I can't do this anymore. My schedule just doesn't allow it. So, I may not be back, and if I'm not, I don't want you to cry, but to instead have a nice life and to live it to the fullest!
