(edit) A very, very wonderful person gave me a subscription! (I know who you are and adore you, thank you. ^^ *snugs* I just don't know if you want me to tell people your name. )

So, I should be replying to messages again. :D Over the next few days I'll have to go through my comments and DA watch to weed through them, reply to some here and there, and try to play a little catch-up. There is so much now that I won't be replying to everything from the past. ^^;

</edit>

First off, I need to apologise for not replying to, well, pretty much anything lately. I really need to get a DA subscription again because the ads on here nearly freeze my old computer. >.< Just trying to type my own journal is a hair-pulling, frustrating situation. (One of those, you type and a few seconds later what you type shows up on the screen. Not to mention a complete lag each time the ads change. *fumes*)

I'm not ignoring people, but I do 'try' to check my messages every day or so. It's just a serious pain in the rear to type anything on here now.

I REALLY need that new computer darn it. I'm saving though, and nearly there. (I had the money a few times in the past, but emergencies always took it away too quickly.)



Okay, updates....

I'm drawing again. *waves happy flag* My odd, blues funk is finally gone with, mostly. (It still hits me every now and again, and took a few months to kick it out the door... but I'm finally nearly back to my old self. ^^ )

I have a TON of work right now with art. A bunch of art commisions, and adoptable work all came in within the same week. @.@ It has me drawing from when I wake in the morning until late into the evening/night. But this is a good thing! I really enjoy it. ^^
It's also gotten my creative juices flowing again. So when I get a moment I've been working on the next installment of the faerie comic. I've also started writing down the Takeshi and Ishiyo story.

So... very very busy. But thank the gods, I needed this. The art commisions are so important since they'll help me finally upgrade to a newer computer, not my decade+ year old comp that I use now. >.<
Then I can finally use a better adobe then 6.0. :O_o:

BTW, writing this journal has been a serious pain in the butt, since each time the ads change it makes sure that my mouse isn't focused on my typing, so I keep having to click where I last typed. >.< Geeze!

May I suggest getting firefox? It has an ad blocker on it, making everything soo much easier to browse through. I couldn't even stand to be on neopets anymore without this ad blocker.

I can soooooo relate to what you're going through... I used to have an old Gateway pc, circa '00, with a Celeron 512 MB processor & 256 MB RAM... On dial-up internet, with nothing but stock software, and nothing decent... the most advanced program I had was GIF Construction Professional...

The ads suck away all the memory...

Hug a Random Deviant!
Whoa! Yeah... Mine ran Win98, It only had MS Outlook Express & WordPad... the Hard Drive was only 15 GB... Was Sooooooooooo Slow and sooooo lazy, and the GIANT monitor I had was only 17"... Then I got a Dell... which is 40 GB Hard Drive, and runs a 2.3 GHz processor... But it's old (circa '04/'05), and the RAM is all dying... But luckily - i've got a new pc... It just needs a few things and it will be up and running!

What shiny new beast do you have your sights on?

Yay working on commissions and general art stuff again!
Also yay working on the Takeshi/Ishiyo story!
I have some questions about L5R stuff but I shall save them for later.

Glad things are better with you. <3
My computer is old and crappy like that.

What I do to get around your problem is write stuff in Notepad. I also save the files when I'm halfway through a rant or RP reply and I can come back to them later. Once I'm done with the Notepad file, I C+P the data into into the text entry field of the browser once done with it.

I reccomend it. Doing so ensures that you don't have to endure the giant RAM chew. Or ads, nearly as much.
I hate the dA adverts, and personally I think it's silly that you have to pay to get rid of them.
I used to have an old, sluggish PC, but I deleted a hell of alot of the stuff on it and downloaded firefox... That helped (:
I reccomend it.

A bawdy song I was listening to while working on 'Adora's Bathtub'.


The Mermaid
by: Great Big Sea


When I was a lad in a fishing town
Me old man said to me:
"You can spend your life, your jolly life
Just sailing on the sea.
You can search the world for pretty girls
Til your eyes are weak and dim,
But don't go searching for a mermaid, son
If you don't know how to swim"

'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her face it was a work of art,
I loved that girl with all my heart
But I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail

I signed onto a sailing ship
My very first day at sea
I seen the Mermaid in the waves,
Reaching out to me
"Come live with me in the sea said she,
Down on the ocean floor
And I'll show you a million wonderous things
You've never seen before

So over I jumped and she pulled me down,
Down to her seaweed bed
On a pillow made of a tortoise-shell
She placed beneath my head
She fed me shrimp and caviar
Upon a silver dish
From her head to her waist it was just my taste
But the rest of her was a fish

'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her face it was a work of art,
I loved that girl with all my heart
But I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail

But then one day, she swam away
So I sang to the clams and the whales
"Oh, how I miss her seaweed hair
And the silver shine of her scales
But then her sister, she swam by
And set my heart awhirl
Cause her upper part was an ugly fish
But her bottom part was a girl

Yes her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her legs they are a work of art,
I loved that girl with all my heart
And I don't give a damn about the upper part
Cause that's how I get my tail.
