Man, I’ve been so busy lately that these updates just seem to happen and I’m not really sure what to talk about in the update post. I am moving in a week and my life has consisted mostly of boxes, lately.

I have been busy all day so I’ll get around to posting the forum stuff in the morning. I’d really appreciate a vote if you have a spare moment! :D

I know my pattern lately has been updating on Mondays, but I’m trying to keep that kind of loose for weeks like this one where I’ve been all over the place. We’re trying to rent a new house instead of the apartment we’ve been in for the better part of a year, and it’s been a lot of back and forth with the landlord and driving by to check things out and so forth. Crossing my fingers though, it would really be an awesome place to live. Moving out of a place where the neighbors seem to enjoy DDR the most at 4 am? HECK YES.

I’ve also been putting the last touches into the [messenger] book I’ve been working at on and off for the past six months or so. Have a preview! I had forgotten how much fun it can be to lay stuff out in InDesign. I mean, in a weird, meticulous, measuring things and checking details kind of way.

We’re currently trucking around the East coast taking pictures of everything and generally having a grand time. Roadtrips are great.

Hopefully I’ll have some drawings to post up on my return. :B

The past few (well, many) months of my life have been a rollercoaster like none other.

I:

• finished a college semester
• finished half my senior thesis
• applied to grad school
• had a falling out
• moved. twice.
• got my first apartment
• went to disney world
• lost a beloved cat to kidney failure
• adopted an adorable cat from a shelter
• got to know my relatives in awesome new ways
• had a patching up

So you can see things have been a little fast-paced. Not to be a whiner, or something.

Meanwhile, I’m up late because something in a box I was just unpacking set off my allergies and my nose is now a snot factory. So what am I doing? Fixing all the broken links in the archives, of course! I went through page by page and fixed every comic that wasn’t displaying. At least I think I did. If you spot any pages that aren’t working, leave me a comment here and I’ll get at it in the morning.

In between that, I set in work on a page that’s been half finished for the better part of a year. No, really. Wanna see?

Okay, so I blurred it out so it isn’t dead obvious what’s coming up. What would be the point of this months-long cliffhanger if I gave it away in a photo of a rare view of the mess I work at every day? It’s there, I swear! And it’ll be up ASAP.

I hope the wait has been worth it. I apologize for my attitude in the past few months to commenters. It’s been a rough ride, but the outcome has been worth it. Thanks for sticking with me and the support I’ve gotten through comments/emails/etc. It’s good to know you’re all still out there. I feel collected, settled, and whole again, and very ready to get back to work. I can’t promise that there’ll be a page every week; I still have one semester left and the rest of my senior thesis to complete, along with a zillion other things, but I can promise I’ll put in my best effort. It’s been a nice break, but it’s time to get this back on track. Hopefully life will allow me to do so with more ease.

Oh yeah, and I also got engaged. I’m getting married in August to the best friend I’ve had since I was in fifth grade on the school bus. Life is just funny like that, I guess.

Let’s see where this takes us, shall we? :)
