Greetings! Thank you for the welcome!

Well, here I am, haha. Where to start..

I'm 18, currently in highschool. I'm quite happy to be graduating, come to think of it!

I will miss a few things, like doing graphic design for paper staff and scaring the impressionable ones, but change is an inevitability.

I'm single, no kids (thank goodness! o_o! Can't say the same for some others my age).

Besides graphic design, I also read a lot, listen to music, go to concerts, hang out with friends. Typical things really..

Well, I suppose that's about it for now. ^_^

Thanks again for the welcome everyone!

I was a graphic design major (I have an associates in it) but I'm not grasping the "for paper staff and scaring..." do you mean "for school newspaper staff and freaking out the impressionable people that work there" ? lol

not sure how i missed that the first time around.

Welcome again anyhow.

[Illuminatrix]

Ah! I'll explain. In highschool, I was on the school newspaper staff, and somehow ended up getting my own comic strip. People didn't quite follow my humour (e.g. mythology jokes and fairy tale parodies)

The scaring comment was my usual attempt at dry sarcasm. I'm still a bit of an odd cookie. Thankfully, I get less quip about it, unlike highschool. Beautiful world indeed! I can wear my platforms in peace! ;D! Haha.

I still mess around with graphic design, though I'm not sure if I want to major in it or not. How is it going for you, Troy Spiral? :O?

As an update, it's been two years. O.o I have a knack for disappearing, I suppose.

I've been quite busy with college and the like. I'm on the PTK honor society and the Dean's list. I also met my current partner there, which is rather lovely. He's very much into the same veins of music as I am and has a congenial and amusing disposition. Perfect!

I also work at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. It's quickly become a second home. :]

ooops didn't see this until i posted my other message.

I guessed that what you meant about the newspaper but not having seen much of your comments around, it was hard to get the tone. Sounds neat/fun. I'm an incurable sarcastic wise ass, prone to discuss "the big questions" right along side the odd jokes about obscure historical / scientific / Lit / film things, which, often falls on deaf ears. I do that a bit less now than I used to but its still there. I'm not sure were the hell i got it. No one growing up that I hung out with was like that, my parents and whole family is very "blue collar churchgoing" types, can't remember ever seeing my parents read a book. Aliens or the stork is my usual guess as to where I came from.

Good to hear things are going well with school and have found a good S. O. There are a lot of Ren Faire goers around here, we have had several "dgn meetups" there over the years.

Right now i'm not doing that great, the short version:

got really sick about 4 months ago, DGN (which is like my child) went to crap activity wise in the meantime while i was away, and i still don't feel that great, but I'm trying to just ignore it and focus on getting this place back in shape (which basicly means promoting, trying to post and get help posting (impossible to do it alone, as its , you know a community) "even when I'm not in the mood" (inactive communities dont grow they shrink) and go out to the club(s) when I can to promote. Which is very , very little fun as it makes my stress level go through the roof (car accident related stress/depression). But I'm trying, and things are better than they were.

Nice to see you around again, hopefully it won't be a drive-bye sighting.

[Illuminatrix]

That's understandable. XD Tone is hard to interpret in this type of format. I've learned to be a bit more explanatory when it comes to online communication.

I'm quite the opposite; I inherited my sardonic sense of humour from my family. They're an odd, interesting bunch~ <3

Thank you. ^_^ I am pleased with life, besides this God awful heat. :/ Were I more egotistical, I would think it to be Karmic retribution. *shakes fist*

Wow~ I had no idea about the meetups at fest. That's really cool to know~

Mm. *nods* That's not good at all. :/ I'm glad to hear that you're putting forth your best effort; that's very admirable. I hope that things bounce back in both your personal life and the community. I'll help by trying to be more active; I've been exploring the different threads, which are interesting. Still don't know how I managed to forget about this place. O.o

I also had to make a conscious effort to be more verbose so as to not have my meaning get lost in text online. I think I've went to far the other way and write more than is needed , and people just fall asleep at the keyboard. =D

"Karmic Retribition" heh.

Thanks for trying to make an effort, it takes a TON of effort to get things "restarted" and every bit helps more than you might realize.

I'm going to guess you forgot about this place beasue it doesnt constantly spam you with "hey you have updates!!"
