No.. no I don't think I am... Well hi :I

Nothing I can say here will justify my absense... so lemme just say... I'M SORRY ;_;

It's been months, I know D: I didn't mean to be gone for so long... I didn't mean to be gnoe at all! Things happened and dA just drifted into the background. I still come on here daily pretty much, checking messages and keeping up-to-date with my friends works <3

But drawing has been hard for me lately >_> Things happened with my aunt, then my job, then my house, now I have a boyfriend... dA just - I can't find the time anymore ._. Inspiration doesn't seem to come to me anymore, and if it does, like recently... I can't make anything I'm happy with. I'm too out of practice ;__; And unfortunatly, at least right now, I don't have the gall 'nor the time to sit down and run myself back over the basics.

But I've never really stopped drawing... I skecth all the damn time I always have, like most of my friends: a lot of what I actaulyl draw never makes it on dA. When I joined my forum a few months ago I had some art of my daemon, and some art for other daemians, but they are placed in my scrapbook now away from my equiestrian art. They were out of place.

I want to get back to drawing! Or to at least be more active on here... I've been here coming up for 3 years now. I have many friends here (if they remember me o_o) and I don't wanna lose them. I never did. I just lost time :L I still find myself spending my days at work followed by coming home spending all evening with my boyfriend. Its how we roll, its our little schedule. Drawing took hours of my time, especially my more recent (if you can call them "recent" :\) works. Skecthing took time, lines and block colour alone cuold take over an hour. Not to mention followed by the background and all the shading and effects.

Which leads me to my next point... Picnik. They closed ;_; I know a few others dA memebers who used this site, a few of my friends. It closed on April 19th 2012.
"As announced earlier, Picnik closed on April 19, 2012. We've packed up and moved some of our most popular tools and effects to Google+. Hope you visit us there."
But Google+ doesn't have anything close to what Picnik had, some of my personal best works were done with that site. I'll miss it... and without it.. I'm stuck :l
I can't do nearly any of the things I want to do.. MS Paint (as much as I still love it) just doesn't have the capability. I don't want to buy PS or CS Effects as people have told me too... I like my pixel art. It won't be worth the money for the tiny amount of things I'd use it for. Picnik was perfect.

But this is getting on... and my boyfriend is waiting for me ^^"

TL;DR I'm not dead, I am sorry - and I'm trying really hard to come back to y'all <3

(*edit: It's been so goddamn long that I don't even remember the italic and bold coding for dA... I had to try many things before I remembered D: I'm used to my forums HTML coding of [+] not dA's <+> T_T)
