Hello hello, I'm not sure how many of my old mutuals are still on this site so I'm not really sure who I'm writing this for? But, if any of y'all are still here I just wanted to say that I'm back! And that I will slowly work on reorganizing and uploading the stuff I've worked on this last three years while also sorting through my messages (10,000+ rip me) and setting up my page. This is also my final week before finals so this process will either go very slowly or very quickly depending on how much I want to procrastinate.

In case you're curious what I've been up to in the time I've been gone, here's a quick little recap. Basically, I left for Italy three years ago, came back that summer and went to esthetician school. Got licensed, but couldn't find any work. So worked at Sears' for a summer, decided retail sucked, then went back to school. Transferred to Humboldt State to become an elementary education major in 2017, and this university is basically on the other side of the state from where I used to live. So I moved off of campus this year and I'm now renting a house with a friend and my cat, and it's cute but it's very old and small. There's an apple tree out front that I've made some pies with. Spring will be my last semester before I ideally move to San Francisco to start my credential program to become a teacher! So, that's me. What have y'all been up to since 2015??

And on a more serious/bummer note, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for ghosting y'all these past three years. It's always terrible when an internet friend just ups and vanishes and you have no clue what happened to them. Real talk: I was very bitter and pissy about what I felt was an undeserved lack of attention in regards to my art on this site. I became resentful and jealous of my fellow artists and what I deemed their success. It just wasn't healthy. But! That was three years ago. I'm basically a fully-formed adult now and I'm more or less in a better mind space then I was back then. My mindset when it comes to art and improvement and attention is generally more forgiving and positive then it used to be. So, with that said, apologies again for ghosting, and I look forward to creating some new memories with y'all!!

(ps, I don't draw cats much these days, but I can actually draw people now! and no bad vibes if that's not your cup of tea and you want to unfollow, i know most of my followers on here are warriors fans)

Hey guys! Still in Italy, still checking out lots of cool ruins and fancy churches and finding stray cats literally everywhere! It's pretty rad!

Anyways, in other news, I am super close to 300 watchers! Because of that, I have a super fun event planned, which hopefully you guys will find fun as well! It'd probably work better for when I get 333 watchers, but whatever, it's gonna be rad. Basically, the theme is 3, and that's all I'm saying for now. I'll give more info when I actually make it to 300. So for now, thank you all so much for deciding to watch me! I'm sure you're all familiar with the whole "it means a lot," "you're all fantastic," "it's very encouraging," spiel, but that's because it's true. You are all marvelous people and it means the world to me that you like what I do enough to watch me! And an extra thank you to you if you read my journals XD so yeah, keep your eyes peeled for the official journal and biz.

Hey guys~ Just letting you know that I'm alive and well. My first week in Italy is just about up and I'm just about settled in. Haven't had a lot of time to sight see but I have seen some cool stuff around town. There're lots of abandoned buildings everywhere with ivy growing on them and stuff. It's pretty spooky. I also started a blog to post pictures and talk about what I'm up to. If any of y'all are interested in seeing it, let me know and I'll shoot you a note with the url and passcode since I am paranoid and whatnot. Um so yeah... I think spring break is going on for some of you kids or it recently ended or something? Anyways, I hope you're all doing well and having fun either on break or in school! Now to sort through some messages and stuff.
