It's been a long time and although I haven't done much uploading or commenting lately (or none, actually) I have been creeping around dA quite often. I do apologize to those of you who have artwork uploaded that deserves to be commented upon but I haven't had the time or the energy as of late (late? I mean whole semester... and last) to do that. I know it irks some people when others +fav their work but don't comment, and I'm sorry but I am definitely guilty of that! I guess it's the best I can do without taking the time to comment which, while I hold up a hand in scout's honour, I promise to stop doing!! I'm planning to take a few minutes out of my day to comment on a peice of work here and there from now on...
I've also really missed doing art too. Doodles in my textbooks and notebooks abound, of course, and one of my proffs even comments on my artwork quite often (producing a blush from me!) But it's not the same as the good old days when I had hours to work on a peice... I really wish I had the time back! I suppose if I weren't so lazy and lethargic these days I might be able to get a bit done. I just run between writing papers, reading for classes, making notes for quizzes, being with my fiance, trying to have a social life, eating and sleeping in there somewhere it just doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day! Hopefully this summer between work, planning a wedding, being with my family, being with my fiance, sleeping and eating I will be able to find time to draw. (though that doesn't sound TOO much more promising!)

On another note, I am definitely, totally, thrillingly engaged. That's right; I'm going to be married! This summer, the love of my life and I are going to be wed in holy matrimony. It's a little crazy, in fact I was just looking at some (very) old deviations where we exchanged flirty comments. Ahh; young love! What a silly but beautiful thing. Now our love has grown and matured and from the cute little bud it has begun to blossom and flower. Although, of course, it's not full grown yet and I am sure there will be a few dark days and rainy patches but in the end all of that will just help us bloom to the fullest and most precious beauty of all. And I thank God every day for this wonderful man who saved my life.
He's my all and my everything; I couldn't live without him, he's my other half.

Okay so that means I'm officially back, I guess? This is my 'Hi everyone! I've returned from the grave' journal entry.
