It's been almost a year since my last journal entry. Oops. Senior year and then college kind of snuck up on me from behind and I currently have 505 messages, after going through about 100 or so of them already. Yeah. Probably not very courteous of me, but I'm afraid I don't see me spending as much time on dA in the future as I used to. I'm not giving up on it, but I will be much slower with...everything.

After seeing this, I then proceeded to...for lack of better phrasing..flip out. I've never won anything that wasn't purely academic before! Ever! I'll

I think I'm always looking up.
