To whom it may concern, I have scrapped and am starting over 'Never Been to Heaven'. For reals this time.

I've come a long way as a writer since I started the project several years ago. I tried to re-work what I already have but I'm just so upset with the poor quality of the begining of the story that I might as well just start from scratch.

In a nutshell, I'm trying this time to pretend like the story isn't fanfiction. Treat it like actual literature and at that rot.

Expect updates!

Eh, I suck at updating this thing. I'm still not in a place where I have access to my scanner but I will in about a month. I'll be moving in with my boyfriend at the end of August and my PC with it's scanner will once again be connected to the internets.

I've been doing a lot of cosplay stuff in the past few months, mostly with Christeenapants. If anyone's going to Otakon, look for us in our Soul Calibur 3 costumes on Friday Then I'm doing Ryoko from Tenchi on Saturday. All beware my spiky wig!

I'm heading into my junior year as a Fashion Major and working at Ruby Tuesdays. Life's pretty chill.

And that's it for now!

I just realized that my last DA journal entry was May 24th. And yet I use this site every damn day and am mostly very good about checking my watch list.

I *do* have art to upload, but I no longer have regular access to my scanner/tablet.

Let me explain.

All summer I worked overtime at a theme park here in Virginia called Kings Dominion. I made mangaer and that ate up even more of my free time.

Then the school year started and I'm taking on more credits this semester than I have yet to here at college. I'm a fashion design major now and once I get around to it I have some really cool stuff to post.

Thrn theres the suckitude. In September my car got stolen. And it took over a month for me to recover from this because although my car was found the next day, the garage doing the repairs and my insurance company couldn't get along and were threatening to sue each other. OVER MY CAR. My crappy litttle 93 Plymouth Sundance that some punk ass kid saw fit to steal and then ditch in the same neighborhood.

So after much huzzah I got my car back. About a week later I went to Nekocon. I didn't drive. And when I got back from the convention I found that my car had been stolen AGAIN. This time it was not found right away and when it was it was totaled. And all my stuff, all my fashion tools, all my textbooks were gone as well. Things that shouldn't have been of value to anyone but me, that wouldn't get anyone any money, but that I'm now without. Fortunately, I have homeowners insurance and all that stuff was covered.

So now I'm waiting for the check from the insurance company and get my stuff re-bought and in the mean time and more or less 'living' at my boyfriend's apartment since he lives much closer to campus than my roommate and I do and he doesn't mind driving me around every damn day.

This means no scanner, no tablet, no use of my PC... you get the picture.

I do have a laptop though (hurray for government grants!) that is very slowly starting to become my primary computer.

In fact, I think I'll go ahead and upload some things right now.

So in short, Miss Full Circle lives. And in a few months, she's bringing her GIGANTIC VIOLINIST OF HAMELN GROUP to KATSUCON so show up and fucking REPRESENT.

It's always at 3:37 in the damn morning that I have things to say.

They're not even important. Something just compells me to open the journal window and start writing.

I am under the impression that my soulmate lives in Canada. If only I had some way of going up there and waving my butt invitingly in his general direction. Yanno. Like a deer.

I beat FFX today. This means I'm out of video game. Damn. I could go for some Zelda.

I wish everyone could be as happy as I am. See humor in small things. Be content with what they have. Strive for something better just because it feels good. Ditch greed. Stop gossiping. Stay the fuck out of my personal life. I'm not your goddamn soap opera.

I wish people could enjoy the calmness. Stop making drama where there doesn't need to be. Sit and reflect on how things are awesome. Realize that it could always be worse. Stop telling me that being a pessimist and a realist is the same thing.

Like my new friends Robofetus said, "I wish people could hug and kiss each other without slipping into sex mode. I have a feeling we weren't meant to stand this far apart from each other."

Even if things were perfect, I'd still be complaining. So maybe things are perfect. Which is good. I should be happy. I am happy. Could I be happier? I don't know.

I should draw more. That is why I started this thing.

But first thing's first. Canada.

I appear to have been randomly selected for a free subscription thingy. Just like my other account was a few weeks ago. Rawk.

There is WAY too much stuff to fill out for journal entries with a subscription.

I don't really have anything relevant to say but I figured I'd at least make one journal post before my account wears out.

*dance dance*
