{{ I try, I really do try my hardest to keep all you lovely people updated with all the things that might impede posting here. But, somehow, someway, this one slipped my mind! Maybe because it followed right on the heels of San Japan... I left literally a week after the convention ended! (The con was real fun, by the way!)

Left for where, you ask? Why, Oregon! Yes, Oregon. I am once more in the Beaver State to visit my good bros. And thus far, it's been great! I've been here a good six days as it is, and have another six until I'm headed home! (Tomorrow, all of us, plus two, will be attending a little convention called Kumoricon.)

Much as I'd love to work on Q&A's, and much as I hope to, I may not end up doing so. Though I have one ready for upload, and another that merely needs coloring, my computer's setup has been stripped down to the bare minimum and focusing on actually getting things done is difficult for me when I'm spending my time with others.

So, there is slim chances of me posting before September 6th, but I really would not count on it! As late as I am getting in on Friday (I don't land back home until 11:40pm CST), there may not be a high percentage of me uploading anything then, either. I can assure you all, though, that no matter what, I will force myself into posting at least one response the day after, Saturday, September 7th.

I deeply apologize for not having posted this before leaving, as well as not informing everyone I would be at San Japan 6 all weekend! And of course, I feel so guilty for taking so, so long to produce new content for all my amazing watchers! But, I am definitely going to try to improve that, once I am home again!

Thank you all for being so wonderfully patient and understanding. You really have no idea how much that exactly means to me. ;u; ♥ }}

{{ I've tried. I've really, honestly, tried my doggone hardest to get myself through all of the replies sitting in my message center. The other day, I managed in responding to quite a few of them! 

But that was really just the beginning. Because, even after all the work, after the hours I spent replying to what I could, I still have a good 384 of them left. Are you aware of how many pages upon pages that is? I happened to check, and it's somewhere around the 150+ mark. As much as I try to clear them out properly (thoroughly making sure I've no way to respond before either doing so or deleting them), I am just not sure I can do it. I am only one person, after all! 

So, though I am more or less 100% sure I will, I thought I ought to ask before I do--

Does anyone mind me deleting all the replies I received before December 31st, 2012?

I'll still have plenty left over after the sweep--probably a good 30+ pages--so it's not as if I'd be completely cleaning out that niche of my inbox. 

I can't say even a mass opinion against it would sway my decision any. Just thought it'd be polite of me to inform you all and give everyone a chance to let me know their thoughts on the subject. c: }}

OOC: Roommate?!

1 min read
{{ Well, more of a housemate, as we're not sharing a room. :3c

But, indeed! A friend of mine is moving in. In a few short hours, actually! She and her father are driving out from where they live now, and could be hear any time after an hour from now! This said, it's to be mentioned that I'm horribly scatterbrained when I've people over. Though this, in the long run, is different, it won't really be for the first little while. I don't intend to take a hiatus, however! I may informally end up having to, but just know that it's not on purpose and I really will be trying my best to update as often as I possibly can! }}

OOC: Nebraska?!

1 min read
{{ Yes, Nebraska. The Corn Husker State. Why, exactly, would I bring it up? Simple!

Extended family. My mother's side, to be exact. We're visiting them, heading further up to Iowa for some family auction. And, so, until I return late on Monday, I probably will not be available! I'll have my dear laptop, and there will more than likely be times when I'll be free to hop on, but it's better you assume I'll be unable to do so!

I apologize for the sudden shortage of uploads--I really meant to post a lot more before leaving, as a sort of apology. But, obvious as it is, I was not able to achieve such goals. I've a Q&A sketched up and ready to be finished as soon as I return home, however! So look forward to that!

Until then! ♥ }}

{{ Edit// Do not fret, everyone! My shiny new monitor shall be here on Wednesday, and once I've taken a few hours to get accustomed (it's a little bigger than my previous one!), I'll be back on track!

So, my computer setup may not be as simple as others' (nor is it as complex as it could be). Instead of forcing myself to coupe with the pathetically small screen my laptop has, I've--for the last few months--had the monitor I once used with my desktop. The size difference is a good 8 and a half inches, and is the reason my submissions may be a little on the gigantic side for some of you.

Recently, it's been acting up. It's hard to explain what, exactly, it does, but I can say it is very distracting and, at worst, a huge annoyance. Over the last few days, it's gotten worse. I figured it was the VGA plug going bad after all these years (I've had it just over two, and it wasn't brand new), and after switching it for my mother's unused monitor, my hypothesis was proven right.

I plan to order a new one soon--tomorrow, actually--but the problem then becomes waiting for it to get here. For you see, the screen I'm borrowing is not only smaller than my other, but it's also square (mine is a widescreen). So, it really messes with the size of the questions I print/screen to smack on Q&A's!

In short, this means I won't really feel comfortable working on them until my new monitor is here. I can't say when that'll be, at the moment, but when I have a better idea I'll let everyone know. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope everyone's enjoying the beginning of the month! }}
