So, now that it's later today, I can go ahead and make this.

I was going to make an April Fool's journal again--something about having fallen madly in love with `primus and taking the next thing flying to Britiland--but seeing Mudkips everywhere kind of dampened my spirits...especially since I think I know who's responsible.

I'll yet have my vengeance, fuckers.




As you've noticed if you've been on dAmn at all, I obviously didn't abandon the site or stop writing. I just haven't been actively doing much with either, due mostly to [inspiration strangling apparatus]. What I have been doing, I haven't put here or really shown anyone. I'm becoming a bit more of a professionalist (if that's possible) about things I submit, and it's often all I can do not to tear down my entire gallery.

Nothing kills me more than outdated material, especially when it's mine.




So, I'll be doing this new thing. Remember Decrescendo? Remember how that was supposed to be done about two years ago? Yeah, well, it's done...it's been done for a while. I just haven't been putting it up.

So now I'm going to do that, but I'm going to do it a bit differently. All current Decrescendo pieces are going to go down, they're going to be a bit polished (don't worry, I don't polish away flavor and details), and they're going to be resubmitted in order. That way, I can finally get it out, have some closure with the damn story, say what I need to say with it, and get back to my actual style of writing.

In the vein of my actual style of writing, I've been flirting with writing what basically amounts to my ultimate story, but not at all with the idea of putting it here. I'll have to see how things go once I start posting things closer to my actual style; short stories and the like, for example.




Which reminds me, I have a new laptop. Most of you know that already, but some of you don't. For the latter, the reason is simple: my last machine died a slow, painful death at the hands of my youthful neglect, and now rests in her case, inoperable, while I'm up to my tits in contrition. It'll be a while before I get any data off her, which means that anything I've done creatively since May 2004 that isn't uploaded somewhere is gone.

I'm a whore for novelty, but I'm also a vicious packrat; clearly, I'm torn by the situation.

But yeah, new laptop = new things. I've worked the first three months of this year away, and now I'm prepared to show something for it. Here's to that, I suppose.




This journal doesn't follow my old template, so I won't assign a featured female deviant this time around.

...but if I did, it would be ~Contemplate. Find her on dAmn and find out why.

Good luck, though, she'll probably be studying.
