Journal Entry: Sun Sep 19, 2010, 7:14 AM
:iconikue:
Past

Wow... so it's been quite awhile since my last journal. All of my recent journals seem to start with that sentence in one form or another for the past year or so... I've just been really side tracked with work and stuff. After staring at dA green for 10 hours a day I kinda wanna just turn off if you can imagine XD

The last journal I wrote was about the bdAy bash! It was seriously one of the most amazing days of my life. I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all that helped me get my fancy birthday shirt for free! You guys rock so hard! You can see me modeling it in this pic!


There are so many journals with details of the event so I wont bore you with yet another one of those. I just wanted to say how blown away I was by meeting all of you. Over a month later and I'm still on a contact high from that night.

Present

There's nothing going on at the moment... I'm still trying to get hold on this full time stuff. Separating work from play can get pretty hard when you've got a $ next to your name. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to help but sometimes you just wanna be normal... ya know? I've also let my art take a backseat to my work and that's gatta stop. It's not even like a normal backseat... it's like I'm the driver of one of those giant buses  and my art is at the back of the bus. Poor guy doesn't get to cross the yellow line very often. I've had an idea to help me get past that though. We'll see where that leads.

That reminds me. How do you guys feel about commissions? How much is too much? Do you prefer paying in points or via paypal?

Future

I've recently made some plans to get off the island for a couple of weeks. Gonna go visit `shuttermonkey for his birthday! I'm so excited. I wasn't able to see him last year and it was the first time since we've known each other that I haven't been with him for his special day. I refuse to miss any more, plus it's all hallows eve! Can't turn down haloween shenanigans! So, as you can imagine I'll be in Orlando for the end of October / beginning of November. I'll still be on duty though, so you won't even notice I'm gone! Although with the way things have been recently you probably already think I am DX


How have things been with you lot? Anything interesting happened in the past is currently happening in the present or is going to happen in the future?

1. Awesome journal skin. 2. Yeah being an $ is surely tough and more so at the help desk but I still aspire to it some day but a break would be nice. Frankly I love the da green though id change the shade of green but ive learned ta tune it out. My eyes hardly notice it anymore and im on 6-16 hours a day browsing and what not ^^; 3. Your popularity is to be expected as you are 1 awesome admin. 4. The shirt was much deserved B-) 5. Id say point commissions cause I hate paypal! As 4 price it depends but I say keep it cheap and affordable. My limit is $30 or the point equivalent unless bartering. 6. I here ya sometimes art is forced ta the back of the bus though unintended. I need ta get my art in gear too! 7. Tell @shuttermonkey I say hi :-) 8. I still wish I couldve met you :-( 9. As 4 how ive been well busy with da stuff and life stuff lol. Beent beta testing those nifty deviantART muro features, going thru my flooded message center and working on a few contest entries. Oh and of course spreading da love :dalove:
