Why? D:

Well, RL is just kind of more important to me I guess.

I realized over the past year that my activity has been dwindling. I don't like taking commissions for pixels anymore, which is my main source of income normally on the site - I need to be taking more of them IRL and to do that I need more time spent on proper pieces to improve than just sketches. Working on my art IRL takes a lot more time, effort and as of recently patience and concentration and the forums tend to just distract me when all I do is sit here and click mindlessly, lurking and barely posting.

I don't really seem to enjoy putting together avis anymore, even if I have a small pull of attraction to the items. It would be more fun to have inspiration from them to draw something else for me now, I guess?

I haven't really even participated in the past three or four major events. I just couldn't get into it. Worse, I find little attraction in the art forums that are my home. I am a little resentful of the attitudes towards some I come across often regarding a few things there and I had hoped when things started that it would grow and flourish when I see it now only being stagnant.

So.. between that murdering my interest in the site in general, I also picked up a new job that I have chance to make full time, so I've grown busier. It's a graveyard shift at the hospital, so when I'm not working 3 or 4 night stretches I wind up really tired and sleeping a lot of the time and when not I am just trying to make room to see my beau and to get off my ass and help my family so I stop getting into fights with them over my laziness.

There just isn't much room anymore. ^^;

*nuzzles Ise*
My diction is poor, for I am at a loss of words, but poor Ise!! It's not a bad thing you are developing, but...

-snuggles with a smile- It's not poor me. It's needed. I'll have health and vision insurance next month, dental insurance in a year.

I'm paying my student loan bills alone finally, I took care of my medical bills and I've handled a car accident and normal repairs needed to a new vehicle without aid. I'd say that's some good progress, even if I'm still horrendously broke. xD; I'm working my way into getting on my own two feet.

I will miss people here, but I'm always available on AIM or MSN.

Well, glad to hear that things seem to be going well for you in RL, at least. Having a steady job and a boyfriend, sound pretty good to me. :] And its completely understandable in not having much time for Mene

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving, Ise.

I'd love to send some art your way but I am talentless. x.o

Suo: He's a wonderful guy. 4 years together this past May <3 Seems we've gotten through one rough snag with his gram just passing finally. He and his father living with having to take care of her as the dementia from rising ammonia levels was... really hard.

But yeah, it's nice to have a few things starting to turn around finally. =3

monstahh': Aw, company is just as welcomed. <333

That does sound pretty hard. I'm glad that you two made it through that together, though, and are happy with one another. ^^

... Rising ammonia levels?
(and you deserveeee the amazing dude and stuff finally turning around)

I may not know you very well, Ise, but I added you on teh msn!

.. I swear, I gotta learn how to use MSN...

> ___ >
*goes on google*

It's super easy! xD
Just get a hotmail or windows live email address, download msn, BAM chattin time!

*is downloading*
We'll see, We'll see.

I totally stopped using AIM....

MSN/Windows Live is kick-ass.

It's my fave messenger.

----------

I also use the "plus" add-on.

<3 It's awesome.

I can block and unblock people without moving my mouse!
/muahahah

Yeah, Hatake, aim sucks. You're better off without it. :lol:

AIM really is just a waste of computer power, but I prefer the AIM facebook add-on to the facebook chat, so I use it.

Suo: It was. Ever since we've been dating she'd been going downhill. It was our parents, who work as nurses in the intensive care unit at one of the hospitals here, who introduced us. I know it must have been hardest on Frank. Having to take care of your mother like that... turns the view an entirely different way most people don't want to go.

Lol, we very much are. To the point we've had friends not realizing they've called us husband and wife for years. xD; His dad was serious recently that he'd give us a cruise for our wedding gift when we got married. Everyone is so damn certain that's where it'll go, but we want to live together for awhile first before deciding anything of the sort. =3

Hata-kitty: Yes. She was in liver failure brought on by complications of Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion she got in her twenties back in Puerto Rico.

demo: Aw, thank you <3 I might be slow to reply sometimes though, lol.

Hata-kitty: xD; I prefer AIM over it most times, but there's not much difference between the two.

*cheers Ise on*
I KNEW you were a smart 'un!!!!
*huggles*
Take time, yush.

Oh, boy did I had my organs mixed up. *was thinking kidneys*
Ack!
*shakes fist at poor health shlagametha stuff*
that's terrible.

*windows live loaded*

now just click the lil icon under my avi and it should show you my email. Then add away! 8D

Speaking of people adding other people to MSN/AIM and shit, Pietros sent me an IM the other day. xD

Yaaay, I gots me a hatake on my list! #3#

*ughhh,glitchypage*
I finally made one.
xD;;

Yes, yes you do demo.
xD;;

I should make an MSN to chat with you guys. D: I have one that I use for all my RL friends, but its my actual RL name. ><;; I have a hotmail that I made for other stuff, though, that I could probably actually use. Hmmm

@ Ise - I think that that is a wise thing to do. I believe that everyone should live together for a decent amount of time before they decide to get married. If you can't live well together, then marriage obvious isn't going to work out so well. Thats why I dont get people that wont do it beforehand. Its not morally bad, and it makes it less likely that you'll get divorced.

lol.

harassing people you're in the same room with, over the internets. >:D

Yes, I agree with Suona. :yes:

You totally should make one, Su! D:
