So, I deleted the previous entry, the one that had some personal information about me and about what I'm up to at school. I was feeling brave when I posted, decided to connect this account, where I've remained fairly anonymous (my real name is in no way connected to what I call myself here, Mag) to more of my real life. That was a mistake.

Nothing's happened, not much. Someone found this account. Someone from school, that's worked with me on projects and knows a lot of my friends from school, and I freaked. I called him up, fortunately he hadn't really looked at my gallery, had just seen some connections to me and had read the journal with the personal info that connected me to the projects we'd worked on and some other things, and had put 2 and 2 together. But he hadn't seen anything of what this account contains. Fortunately, he's someone I know doesn't care about stirring up drama, and I know when I asked him not to look at the account or mention it to anyone, I know he won't. And if he were to lie and look at the account, I think I can at least trust him not to speak of it. Yeah, there's a lot of faith that has to go into a relationship that had previously only been one of acquaintances, which is why it's so nervewraking.

Anyways. Yeah. So there's a lot that I don't talk about, because I don't want a lot of people finding out about this account. It would mean sad times for my family (even though they know I'm the way I am, but they wouldn't understand the need to draw and express myself this way) and it could potentially mean that I could get kicked out of school. That's what pisses me off, though. I don't do very many highly controversial images in terms of the poses or content. If it were a boy and a girl, everything would be peachy, but since they're both girls, then it can get me into trouble.

I don't know what I'm trying to do or say with this journal. I'm just frightened and nervous and anxious and I just want to take it all back and not have been that reckless to post something that someone from my real life could find. And hopefully, if he did look at my account, then maybe he's read this journal and can understand more of what it would mean for me for him to keep quiet. Maybe that's why I'm writing this post.

So there you have it. More reasons to stay anonymous, even though I really felt like I wanted to let a lot of the people that I've met on here closer into my life. It's just too scary.

Crap. My last journal was all the way back in September. Geez, I have been so out of dA for a while. But that's what life's for, right? To get in the way of all of the things you really want to do.

So, updates on life (Do you care? Do you want to know? I don't care, I'm telling you anyways. tl;dr my ass!):

-One more year and I graduate. Woah. Crazy. Almost done with my BA in Media Arts.
-Been writing a whole lot more than drawing. Plays and screenplays (which is what I want to grow up to do) and since January I've gotten three short plays performed already and one of my short screenplays gets filmed now in March. Things are pretty intense, which is why the lack of drawings. But I haven't forgotten about it. Hopefully I can find some time soon to finish the next YCMD image and the next page of 'First Move.' Those are the two projects I do want to finish. And even if I don't find the time soon, well, I'll find the time eventually.
-I'm also the head writer on a webseries that is being produced as a class project in my school. Since it's part of the school, it's Mormon-themed, though it still manages to be kind of cool.
-I'm in like! And she likes me too. I say "in like" because things are still pretty new, so we're not going to go too fast into the other 'L' word that's followed by 'O,' then a 'V' an ends with an 'E.' She's amazing and I'm pretty happy about it.

That's all in a nutshell. I have no excuse for not drawing, and I still don't get how I'm still getting views and faves and watchers. I'm also very sorry I haven't been able to respond to many of you and thank you for those faves and watches. I still appreciate all of them. There are just too many to respond to, and, as has been apparent, I've just been busy.

I love you all. Thanks for still watching and still checking in. I really have not forgotten about all of what I owe you.

This had me laughing so hard I did not know what to do with myself. I literally cried.

EDIT: Thanks to =arrkane for more laughs [link] [link]

And I also found THIS, which is SO full of win. [link]

I have wasted my night reading these, to the point where I cannot function correctly today. I have not had such a strong giggle fit in so long. Love it.

So my tablet software is freaking out. Just in time too, when the next YCMD image is almost done but for Katara's hair and my SD fanart is only halfway. Ugh!! Drives me crazy. Why, God, why? So, I'll take up my time doing silly lil' journal thingies, until my parents can send me the disk to reinstall the software.


POST HERE AND I'LL....

a) tell you how I know you and a thing or two about whatever you have in your gallery OR Tell you why I friended you. (somebody changed it)
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) tell you my favorite pic of yours,
g) in return, you must post this in your journal

I have never seen a group more engrossed, committed and passionately dedicated to their dead cause. And for that, I commend them. Not even when Harry kissed Ginny instead of Hermione was there such an uproar and a banding together of people to alter the face of fanart so much that someday, in some faroff time when the Avatar DVDs are a thing of rarity, people will think that the ending was happily with Zutara.

Over zealous in their beliefs, Zutarians now have created Zutara weeks for themselves, to further promote the love of their ship. While the rest of us who actually paid attention to what was going on in the show knew what would happen in the end.

An epic battle has never been faught, such as that of the the Zutarians vs the Kaang...ians? Hmm, Kaang must not be as popular as I thought, when there is no name to determine the species of shipper.

On an unrelated note: Ok. Twilight. WTF. When did I close my eyes and this book suddenly become so big. It's finally happened people. A book with the most annoying, whiny, self-depracating, paranoid and self-abosorbed main character has become big. And I say the book became big, not her, because were Bella this book's only selling point it would have flopped faster than overcooked linguini. Edward sells this book. Conceited, self-absorbed, bipolar, pale, "perfect" Edward, whom we never get a good description of, so any girl can invent whomever the flip they want. Ah, the cleverness of Stephenie Meyer's laziness.

And another even more unrelated note: Movies so rock. Especially Get Smart, Wall-e, Definitely, Maybe, and Persopolis, just to name a few varied titles which I have enjoyed recently. Yeah, movies rock.

I forgot my tablet on my vacation this summer. Sad. But I've been sketching instead! Happy! Expect some art by August, 'cause that's the soonest I'll get my hands on a scanner. Though some other, older projects that have been coming along at a sickly, elderly snail's pace might make an appearance. We shall see.

BTW, I don't think I've ever mentioned how much I appreciate this art community and the people I have come to know here. Sure, there are hiccups here and there, but there are always new people to meet, old people to re-meet, and lots of good/bad/fun/weird art for everyone to enjoy. I love you guys!
