Oh woe

1 min read
Some people already know this but... my compy is broken. Again. I got hit by an electrical failure a while back and now it's at least another two weeks without a gaming PC. No dA nor new PC games for me before it's fixed. :F

At least I have mah PlayStations. And my laptop for some minor L4D activities with VVatchword. ._.

I wonder how many times I've attempted comeback now...

I was finally able to figure out what was wrong with my internet connection, a problem that effectively prevented me to enjoy browsing dA (among other sites): a broken modem that didn't completely block all internet access but broken enough for the high packet loss to affect loading of image-heavy sites. That, among some other reasons, kept me from this place for quite some time.

Another 10k+ messages to clear, a group to revive and lots of catching up to do... again. dA has also changed a lot since the last time I was here, it seems. There are journal categories now? D:

Haven't been really active on dA for a loooong time. Boo, shame on me! I've got lots on my mind for the past... two years, and dA being a bitch and not loading images properly doesn't help much while I'm trying to find motivation to clear my inbox.

However, this is my nth attempt to "get back in business." I want to get reacquainted with this place and all you wonderful people out there. I want to get back to enjoying art and creating it. I want to start getting things done instead of being stuck with the "I can do it later" attitude.

...I still wish there were less undone tasks in the queue. I can only blame myself for being such a lazy ass for years, though. :shrug:

Anyway, a short version of what I've been up to: I graduated before Christmas and now I'm working my ass off in my awesome job in the game industry. I also bought myself an apartment, hurray for living in debt! So life suddenly sorted itself out and now I'm fearing for the worst to happen. :paranoid:

After school drained all my free time it's been a total bliss to finally have a chance to have a clear conscience while playing, watching TV or just taking a nap. And after moving closer to work I even have energy for stuff! (It will still take a while before I find the motivation to move out from this blessed state of doing nothing, haha.)

So. Yay. My goals for this year? Get back in touch with people, revive my communities, play games, improve my artistic skills, lose some weight... there's hope I'll be a better person by the end of the year. :giggle:

Now tell me, what's been happening in YOUR lives? :)

1. NAME ONE OF YOUR SCARS; HOW DID YOU GET IT?
I have a scar on my upper lip that was once upon a time pierced by my teeth. How? I rocked too hard. On a rocking chair. And BANG smashed to the edge of a book shelf. (The shelf still has my teeth marks on it, haha.)

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Some extremely cheap but cute paintings and...not much else. Tapestry?
