...it never quite goes the way you planned.
As quoted from my DA account (without those wicked cool smiley faces):
"I feel like I'm juggling so many things... and then I realize I am. To keep you up to date, here's the A-Rae Report!
Bad news: It seems there's a possibility that Windows is crashed... or my hard-drive is fried like an egg for breakfast! If this happens, I will lose about 50 drawings that should have been uploaded here, my Adobe programs, 3 years of my novel/project, S.o.A., and then all the notes and works for my comic. You can imagine this really sucks. So if I promised you a work of art/trade/request/whatever, it is delayed until things are back up - unless I know you personally, in which you'll have to settle with a mere Prismacolored piece instead of CG; I'll get it to you myself and, when my computer is fixed - or a new one is provided (which looks postive!) - I'll give you the CGed version as well. (Yes, Neooxx, have no fear - the Sphnyxx will be finished!)
Good news: I seriously have a major overload of drawings to upload here as soon as things are back up and running. By "major overload" I'm saying about 50 pieces of work. Also, as of 1/31/04 (which passed), I am starting serious work again- hallejuah! - on S.o.A., which means you can see lots of b-e-a-utiful illustrations from it. (They vary between graphite, some Prismacolor pieces, and CG works, but I promise you'll like them.) On top of that, I'll be flushing out some anime-styled things with my more realistic style, which I have promised and sadly delayed. I also have some interesting sketches from my art class which are amusing... and thus will get uploaded. Because... I... said so! The only bad thing is that most of my works, since they were scanned, got packed away (we're remodeling!). Therefore, I'll have to fish through my boxes and dig out things to upload with my ma's computer; the resolution will be horrid, but it will have to do until I'm up and running.
(Ashley, my lovely editor, I love you and DON'T KILL ME! ::sweat::)
I've been pretty crazy lately, but thanks for checking my site. You guys rock and I'm not worthy of the hits I've gotten. Here's to you!

Well, it seems that my computer's hard-drive may be burnt out, which means I may have lost everything on there. Everything! My art files, my photographs, but most of all there's the possibility that I will lose my S.o.A. files. I cannot begin to express how mental and emotional that really is. I've spent 3 years developing the characters and world I love so much; I spent hours working words to flow smoothly, and when I find myself going somewhere, something has to stop me. Darn it! I feel as if I'm Bruce from the movie Bruce Almighty - somedays it just seems that, no matter how faithful I am, life is simply out to get me.
To sum it up, if I lose my novel files, I will be a wreck. Art I can replace fairly quickly. S.o.A. will take me much longer.
Garfooglemoof. The only good thing is that New England won the Superbowl. Boo-yah, baby! :)
Not sure what else to say. Crunchy, you and I are taking mental vacation! :D We need a break, man. Next weekend will be our little holiday! ♥ And that's the bottom line, because A-Rae said so. ::spits out tongue:: We shall spend Valentine's Day together and par-tay! ::does the Crunchy-is-a-comin' Dance::
I need to finish writing my music...
By the way, "Yesterday" by The Beatles is an amazing song. Dang, I love the Beatles... they need to come back! BEATLES FOREVER!
...Fin. Valentine's Day rambles coming soon. Or being hosted over at my private journal. Yeah. Fun-fun! (I'm complaining about V-Day, and I have a boyfriend! Hoo-rah, some things never change... and others do, strangely enough.)
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you...
