LA LA LA.

That is my new catchphrase, by the way.

Apparently.

Yeah.

...

Doin' NaNo this year. Again. Same name as here, and as the past three years, but in case you lost it or something, here: [link] No word yet on what my novel is, it's a secret and I also haven't decided yet.

Probably gonna open commissions soon, as actually being paid to do art presses me into actually figuring out how much I should be paid to do art. And I do so many different kinds, I am sure this will be interesting.

Finally and most importantly of all, I believe I have solved the scanner problem. I have yet to actually run this solution through a field test, but I am confident that it will work.

Life continues to go.

FLAILY FLAILY FLAILY

(It's like wailey, only more panicked!)

Ahoy, me hearties, for it be that time o' the year again! Arr, that's right, it be International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

It therefore be ye solemn duty ta only speak (or type) in a verrrry piratey way, lest ye be headed for a quick walk off th' plank!

A toast o' grog to this most piratey of days! Arr.

Every now and then I get PMs asking me if I do these.

The answer is usually yes, I'm up for it. Art trades and whatever else you call these sorts of things too.

And now I can yell at people for not reading my journal next time they PM me. Bwahaha. This is all part of my evil plot, you know.

Yes.

All of it.

EVIL.

(Bwahaha.)

025. First award → Er.
026. First crush → See "first best friend" or something, I don't know, all my crushes are very brief. (Ooh, he looks hawt~! *momentary drool* Hey, look, a penny! I am now one cent richer. Oh, look, a guy. Hi, guy. I think I liked you once....)
028. First big vacation → I don't know. The biggest was Disney World once. But we've done many others besides of varying sizes.
