Not much to say really. ^_^ I'm just relaxing and enjoying my holiday. I've been a bit on the lazy side about visiting people and wishing them a Merry Christmas. Probably because I just want to curl up and cuddle with my boyfriend and watch movies instead. It's just to much fun on a cold winter day! Hehe.

Anyway, hope all of you are having a great time! ^_^

I should make Monday's my update day or something. XD Since that's when I find myself looking at my pictures and deciding what to put up if anything. I have so many pictures I really should make sure to put stuff up each week. ^_^

Anyway, as the title says, theOtaku is back! If you're curious as to what happened just look here: www.theotaku.com/news/view/wor… It was so weird to not be able to get online!  I'm too use to visiting theOtaku and Otakuboards every day. Though it did make a nice break from moderation work. Though naturally the moment I sign it it's to find work waiting for me that because of the downtime I couldn't get to.

Still for the moment it's all done and wonder of wonders... I actually got through most of my backlog of comments and stuff here for a change! lol I tend to neglect this site even though I like it. ^_^ But since I had extra time for it I got through a lot of it.

Anyway, time to head out and take care of some stuff. ^_^ Have a good week everyone!

Haha! I have to laugh at myself since I'm always going to update more and it never happens. Especially since in addition to the two websites I moderate at: OtakuBoards and theOtaku I also now do the quizzes for theOtaku and that includes doing an update post on the front page when a new quiz goes up.

I'm also shamelessly addicted to doing RPG's over at OtakuBoards, especially one that I'm running called Silver One, which after having a successful run with the first part has moved to the second part: Silver One: Civil War.   It's something that I really enjoy doing and having a bunch of talented writers being a part of it just makes it even more fun.  ^_^

So needless to say a number of my art projects have not gotten finished since drawing is just a hobby for me. I still have the files, I just need to finish them. I am sorting some from my digital camera so hopefully I'll have those ready to post tomorrow.

The only problem now? Having a ton of messages to respond to since I haven't logged in over here in a while. XD So I'm going to try and get to them, or at the very least make a good dent into the stack. Heh.

I promised a while ago that I would work on updating more. And I have! Just not here. >_< I've been more active at myOtaku though!

Not much is going on in my life. We've been having terrible cold weather here for the past couple of weeks, and one night we lost power when it was -8 Farenheit outside. Brrr! But they got it back on and everything has worked fine since.

I suppose the biggest change this year for me has been my learning how to use photoshop to color. It's like an addiction! I positively love using photoshop to color!

I kind of gave up on drawing since working with paper frustrates me  a lot. I have arthritis and certain fine control movements don't work well and drawing is one of them. I've lost count of the times I've messed up a drawing and tossed it into the trash in frustration.   Or the times I've been tempted to toss my pencils in the trash as well.  After breaking them into tiny pieces first.   Anyway...

But working with the computer and having a handy undo tool and erasor and a canvas that I don't have to worry about a jerk of the hand causing the pencil to dig into the paper, has gotten me back into drawing again. ^_^ At least the coloring side.

Later this year I'm going to get a tablet so I can start doing my own line art. I am at least working on a comic I started last year for Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Hehe! I've only got two more basic line art's to do for it and then it's scanning time!         

One of my friends over at myOtaku was poking fun at how terrible I am about updating here at DeviantArt. Sadly it's all too true. I love to come here and check out the art, but I get to easily sidetracked by all the other things going on in my life. Especially since I also moderate over at theOtaku.com and OtakuBoards.com. So I tend to favor both of those sites when it comes to my online time.

But between her prodding and the change to DeviantArt where being signed in is necessary to avoid the pop up adds when you are browsing, I am finding myself signing in more often. Though I suspect that some of that is because I'm learning how to manage my time a little better. ^_~

I've also made it my new years resolution to be more up-to-date so I figured I'd get a head start on that. Now I just need to keep it up even after the new year starts! ^_~  And since I know I'm terrible with updates I'll wish all of you a very Merry Christmas in advance. After all it's not all that far away. XD
