So it's been a year since I posted a new journal on this account.  For those who care about me anymore, here are life updates:

• I'm still together with ~Ikaeru. Two years and 5 months and still goin' strong.  After I moved out of the dorms, we moved into an apartment together so that I didn't have to move back in with my mother, which is nice.
• I just graduated from college with a dual-major BA in English and Medieval-Renaissance Studies.  I'm probably going to go pick my diploma up a little later today.
• I'm not going to be going on to grad school, at least at present, because I have had some confusions about what I want to do with my life.  At present, I am sick of being in school, so I'm going to take some time off to figure things out.
• Something I AM interested in doing is opening up a body-positive, sex-positive, LGBTQ-positive boutique called White Chocolate that sells larger bras, sex-toys, and has a sex education component where we invite in speakers to talk about sex and sexuality, do workshops, and the like.  I think this could really benefit my community and addresses a lot of things that are important to me.
• I'd been seeing a therapist for awhile due to emotional problems brought on by school and what is apparently some sort of anxiety disorder, though I don't have a firm diagnosis and am not on any meds or anything.  I stopped going awhile back because my insurance started being a twit, and we still can't get it to do what it's supposed to do to cover things, like it should.  Hopefully not having school stress anymore will make things less problematic for me emotionally so that that will be less necessary.
• My plan at present is to take some time off from school and work and then, if they'll have me, mentor highly gifted middle schoolers in English, history, or writing with the local public school system during the next school year.  It pays well, and I can actually use my degree for something.

Anyway, I'm mostly just doing this big life-dump update because I'm really not here at all anymore and figured I'd see if anybody wants to follow me elsewhere.  I'm using Tumblr for everything now because I have had a lot of issues with dA as a community for quite awhile.  I just don't like the way it's managed more as a venue for profit rather than one for art, and the general immaturity of the community, in my experience, is something that has long frustrated me.  

I'm still around just enough to do management of the #AVPM-Fans group occasionally and to check and see if anybody's commented on any of my stuff which, surprise, practically nobody has in any meaningful capacity.  I may still submit things here that I deem worthy of submission, but don't expect too much.

If you want to keep following me in any real capacity, though, I've got a couple Tumblrs that you can follow:

• My main blog (mostly just reblogs, though some original content): [link]
• My NSFW smut reblog blog (there might be SOME of me on there <.< >.>): [link]
• My Pokemon play-throughs blog for Nuzlockes and the like: [link]

Blogs I rarely update anymore but that are still mine and may update in the future now that I have more free time:

• My fantroll blog: [link]
• My Harry Potter wand-development blog: [link]

That's all folks, take care, and have fun and I hope to see some of you on Tumblr.
