I finally got myself a desk (huzzah!) so I may actually get some stuff done when things settle down a bit.  A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks...
I've been doodling a lot, and whenever I replace the ink in my printer and put all of the drivers back on my laptop I'll try to get some stuff scanned in and on dA.  I promise, I promise!  I need to improve, anyway.  I'm gonna start trying to work on my Rika picture again soon (it was the best thing I've drawn AND colored in years... I'm proud of the progress I DO have, but things have been so hectic I had just given up on it... oh no!)  
Anyway, exciting news:  At the beginning of April for my birthday I'm going to NY to chill with Tim's family and see more of the city.  Hopefully this time we'll get to go to the Village and see some museums and stuff.  I'm so superawesomeexcited for that trip!  And then:  A couple of weeks later we're both headed off to California for a few days for Coachella!!  Eeeeei I can't contain my excitement!
In OTHER news, Rosette is chilling at my apartment for the next couple of days until she can get her butt back up to NY.  She'll be chillin' with me and Tim whenever we go visit up there.    Awesome!
In the meantime our rent problems still continue, so donations (HAHA THAT'S A JOKE, IT'S FUNNY... GET IT? ...D: ) are encouraged.  Harr.  In reality, if anyone wants to do an art trade so I don't get rusty, or even bribe art out of me with money... (nudge, nudge?) that'd be cool.  Lol.

@Amp, I have kinda doodled my versions of the faces of those characters you suggested I draw in the last journal entry, so whenever my scanner is up and running I'll show you to see if they're even remotely accurate.   

@Everyone else, thanks for the encouragement lately... You guys are awesome.  And also, ideas are always encouraged!  I may not get them up right away when I draw them, but I'm getting back into the swing of things as life boils down to a happy medium once again.  So keep the ideas coming!
