so you know when i said my comp was fixed? yeeeah, well when i tried to turn it on the next day, it was kaput again. so i guess it was just a fluke when it turned on that one time. and when it rains it pours, 'cause my bf's comp has been dead for a while too, so i can't use his either. he's buying new parts tonight, though, so he should (*crosses fingers*) have it up and running in a week or so. right now i'm hijacking my dad's computer, much to his chagrin. meanwhile, my camera is OVERFLOWING with photos of charms that i need to upload. i'm saving up for a new lappy, but that'll be a looong time coming. i asked my parents for some financial help in that direction for my birthday a couple days ago, but that didn't pan out, so poop.

let's see, i'm sure everybody is hating me by now for being so slow with your orders. i swear to gawd, most of them are done. i just mailed a couple today, in fact. and the only reason i was so slow with those is 'cause i lost the return addresses i clipped out, and only just found them in a bout of frustrated cleaning last night. sooo if you've already sent me payment in the form of a trade (you know who you are) then i just sent yo' stuff! :3 everybody else, your stuff's pretty much done and i've got the photos sitting on my camera. my dad doesn't want me mucking up his hard drive with my crap, so i'ma have to wait until my bf gets his comp put together, and then i can steal that and upload the photos.

sorry for the abrupt and unexplained hiatus. long story. first my computer crapped out, and by the time i got that fixed some other crap happened, so i've been all wonky and depressed-y. and whenever i get all wonky and depressed-y, for some reason the first thing that happens is i start avoiding the computer. wierd, huh?

so anyways, tons and tons of apologies to anybody who's been waiting on stuff from me. to anybody who's been waiting on trade stuff, yes it's done, no i haven't just nabbed your payment and run off, and yes i'll be mailing it super-soon. ;3

to anybody who's been waiting on commish stuff, i've made much progress. some of it's done, and some isn't quite there yet. i'll update everybody individually soon.

aaanyways, sorry again that i've been neglecting everybody for so long. i still need a couple days to get my crap together, but i should be online again for good in a couple days, and i'll answer everybody's notes and comments then. kay?

how does one go about making a poll? does it require a subscription? O_o

i'm probably just being stupid and don't see the option... i'll blame it on a lack of sleep. yes.

edit: ok, question answered! it does indeed require a subscription. goddammit. howell. thank you, come again!

yooo, anybody living in the Phoenix area, i'm gonna be at First Fridays in downtown tomorrow! you should drop by and say hey, and if you want to buy anything then it'll save you on shipping! i'll be around 3rd St. on the south side of Roosevelt. i'll have a booth set up with my friend Kelli. just look for the Gone Batty Crafts table (that's her kickass gothy stuff), and i'll be tacked on to the end of it. ;3

if you can't make it this month then i'm there the first friday of every month, from about 6pm to 10pm. come see me sometime!

i've been buried in commission requests lately, and i want to make sure i don't forget anybody. so here's a list of everybody (in no particular order) that i'm in some stage of making something for. if you don't see your name anywhere, or i've missed something that you asked me to make (you might be in more than one category!) then just give me a poke and remind me. i definitely feel like i'm forgetting somebody (especially people who left comments asking for something, but didn't send me a note about it). if i did forget your commish then i'm sorry and i swear to gawd i didn't mean to! please note me about it! it's easier to keep track of stuff when it's all in my notes. ;3 oh, and if you're not on there then it might also be because you've told me that you intend to commission me (or do a trade), but you haven't told me what you want yet (liiike just about everybody on my trade list ). in which case, tell me what you waaaant, so i can get to work on it! ;D
