I realize that in the past year or so, I've accumulated a million and three messages here. I don't mean to neglect my devart account, it's just that life things come up ways that you'd never ever have imagined.

About a month ago, I had hand surgery, which means, yes, I'm not going to be very good at that hand for a little while. That hand happens to be my dominant hand, which makes everyday things a difficult chore for me. It frustrates me to no end that I can't draw, and I can't write. Typing is still pretty painful, and you can be sure that I'm going to have a badass scar on my hand to show for it.

Until I can fabricate an elaborate story about how I *should* have gotten a scar this badass, I will just have to say it's recovering from surgery, and reap pity-rewards .

Anyway, for the many many people that I owe an explanation to for my disappearance around these parts, that's why. And I guess for those of you who were just curious too.

I actually have been slowly going through my messages. Very very slowly. Someone found me here from my voice work in a Final Fantasy IX dub, and I somehow managed to see their message somewhat quickly after it was sent to me.

Talk to me! How are you? What've you been up to? Are you dating anyone now? Have you moved? Goodness, so much to catch up on!

I know, I've been really inactive and not doing anything on dA at all. I actually left this account alone for a while because there were SO MANY MESSAGES. But of course, that kicks me in the arse when I come back and there's something like 1200 here. I've been slowly whittling away at them, but it'll take a while before I get back on track.

Everyone's Christmas giftarts are fanTASTIC.

Speaking of Christmas giftart, I got the Pepper Project artbook for Christmas. I LOVE IT. I'm probably going to adopt this idea of having a character to experiment with all the time. I just don't know what to name her yet.

Lots has happened in the last month or so. It's been a bit frantic, and rather stressful, but really, it's been alright. I have a new job that I'll be starting this Friday, and from the sounds of it, it's a rather inspiring environment. I can't wait to get started.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! 2008 has been a pretty uppity year, I hope things go better in 2009. What's your year been like? What do you want out of the new year?

Yes whirled, that wonderful little contest that dA is having. I've known about this place for a while now, but never had the time to visit it. Until I realized how cute it was.

Like =sererena I'm now addicted to the place and its little games. XD My name is Devlinium if anyone wants to add me~~

I know I haven't been very active here in the last... year. Some of you have been hounding me to get back here, so here I am with a bit of an update as to what's going on and why I've migrated away.

This year, I took up voice acting, so it has been keeping me busy aside from me full-time job of software developer.

As an addition to the voice acting world, a friend and I have started up a radio station for audio content -- and, ~deathsun you'll love this -- that's either licensed under the Creative Commons, or things derived from Project Gutenberg. The project is nearing launch, and what we need now is content, so I've been scouring about looking for people to submit their content for broadcast.

Yes, that includes podcasts. About CC-licensed music. Or remixed CC-licensed music. Or an original radioplay or drama. What have you.

I am going away next week to Vegas for the majority of the week to celebrate my birthday (yay, older still), so I'm sorry I'm going to update, and then run off for a week.

I am still on LJ, and I do still check back here, it's just that I'm so swamped with messages it's hard to keep up! I'm trying to clear out my inbox, which is sitting at over a thousand messages O_o, so I'm sorry if you sent me a message and didn't get back to you sooner!

Well, I've gotten sucked into =mree's Fuzz Academy. It seems to be set up much like Facebook used to be, and it's just.. so freaking cute. So if anybody wants to friend me there, my username is.. well, you know the drill.

I've planned a trip to Vegas next month, which should rock! I've always wanted to see the insane malls there, and now I'll get a chance to bring back LOTS OF STUFF. I might even have to mail a bunch back because it probably won't fit in my suitcase. -_-!

I've been playing away mercilessly at Tactics A2, and it has become my thing that I do in bed that I do before sleeping. That activity used to be reading books, but now it's become an obsession with Tactics. I wish I'd stop running into people that want to my in my clan!
