Yes, after over a year. I've finally added something to my own journal. I don't feel like talking about the downers anymore so I haven't had too much to say. However, I finally did something that I would like to share. A Saiyuki AMV...

( Watch the video )

I am making this known to all my online friends and I am asking for your prayers and best wishes.

The man who has been like a father to me, my grandfather, is extremely ill. He has been in the hospital since November and we had hoped for a happy return. However, it appears that life is slipping away from him.

I have been somewhat quiet on the net because of him being away. Please forgive me if I'm not around for awhile but this is the reason. I have never had anyone die close to me so I'm not sure how to handle this but he is 90 years old and I just want his soul to be at peace and to know that we love him. I would like to think that he could return home soon but that does not look like the case.

So please, forgive me. I will miss you guys for awhile and I hope to catch up on getting things done whenever I return. Thanks. XOXOX

EDIT: Shortly after posting this, we found out that my grandfather had passed. Thank you all for the warm wishes and words of comfort. More XOXOX

To all the moms, mothers-to-be, and "like moms" out there, have a Happy Mother's Day.

Well, I turned 32 on the 2nd and it was the most uneventful birthday I've ever had.

My youngest daughter, who turned 4 this past Saturday spent the day with her dad but I did finally get to hear from her. Yay!!! ^_^ My 7-year-old harassed me until I colored My Little Pony pics with her. LOL

I got some money from my family and I'm happy about all those things but it was just too quiet and uneventful. Oh well, maybe next year will be more exciting!

Oh, and I officially made a new online friend today who loves Death Note's Ryuk as much as I do! So that was definitely different!! ^_^

Okay, that was terrible of me but I'm just letting everyone know I'm not dead... yet. Anyway, I've been missing the internet for a little while and my pc is screwy again so no more Poser pics of bishies for awhile. *sniffs*

But, since I can't do my usual art, I took on creating LJ layouts. I've done two so far and I have yet to redo mine but I'm willing to make more if people are interested and can give me a good idea of what they want. (My creativity sometimes disappears. @_@)
( Look under the cut for more details )

Sorry, no Nii still. :(

3 new pics (2 worksafe, and 1 non-worksafe) I did of 3D Saiyuki boyos. Yes, my new icon is a teaser.

( Cross-posted a few places. Sorry! )

Hey everyone,

Through some serious trial and error, I made my new layout for my journal here. I really wanted to learn how to do it since my muses were pushing me back into web design (which I haven't done in a few years).

( I just got home from seeing 300! *eye candy yum* )

Just to let everyone know, I'm still around and peeking through posts when I can but I won't be online as often for awhile again. A lot of real life stuff taking up most of my time but at least I'm not ill and no artist's block. YAY!!! I'll miss you guys but like I said I won't totally be gone, I'll be lurking in the shadows! ^_^

Okay, I limited my posting of this topic to two Saiyuki comms and my own journal. So, please forgive if you've seen this too many times. *covers head in blanket*

A quick Valentine's Day card I made in Flash for everyone despite the nature of the holiday's origin and the fact that I won't be celebrating it much this year. ^_^

No warnings, WORKSAFE

( Follow the fake cut to my dA page. )

BTW, I luv you guys!!! ^_^

Um... let's see what I have to offer.

1) Update on plans for the Ode to Minekura site
2) First attempt at icons (mainly Saiyuki but a few other series too)
3) First attempt at an AMV

( All under the cut... )

My apologies for my tardiness to my friends here and I hope no one's pissed at me. *shivers in fear LOL* Anyway, the majority of my internet attention will be focused here for awhile.

To all my friends, I apologize for my being kinda quiet as of late. I'll try to make it up to everyone very soon.

Anyway, for my Saiyuki friends, the reason for this post is that I'm considering creating a site that would be like an "Ode to Minekura".

OK I will have to make this short and painful.

I am having trouble with the last of my 3 computers. I don't know how much longer it will last but hopefully, after I give it a break, it will be okay. Seemingly, I've been overworking it and have spent the last nine hours trying to back up important data before it's impending doom.

Since I don't have the money to replace it or get it fixed, I will probably be MIA for a couple of days to see if it helps. Please, pray that it doesn't die for another few more months. I need my pc!!!

Thanks all. *cries*

I just wanted to thank hethos aka azure_reverie for the adorable pumpkin virtual gift! It really is quite cute and brought a smile to my day!! Sankyuu!!! Doumo arigatoo!!! *glomp*
