My last journal was in 2013... holy crap. o.o That's a lot of life to catch up on! 

Since my last visit, much has happened! I've had several different jobs -- worked at a bank, taught Japanese to high school students, and now I'm working as a Fraud Analyst for a bank. My boyfriend from 2013 and I got engaged in 2013, then he moved from England to the US in July of 2016. We got married last year in September, and we just signed the lease for our first apartment together the other day, so life is looking great. 

While packing up to move, I found my old sketchbooks, and so many memories of all the times I spent with so many of you in different RP groups, whether they be one of various pokemon groups, or Drake Academy -- all those memories flooded back. It was bittersweet looking at my first sketches and seeing how far I'd evolved, only to realize that I haven't touched drawing in about 7 years or so... I gave up when i was really starting to get some important concepts! I remembered how peaceful it was, laying on my bed with some good music and just drawing the day away. 

On that note, I've decided I want to try to pick things back up. I want to continue my evolution. But I find it really difficult just to draw random stuff, and I find myself so much more motivated when there is a story behind the character, and that character interacts with some of you. Now I'm really not interested in RPing anything super fandom specific anymore, but I am interested in joining some RP communities again. So if you have some in mind, again, not pokemon or fandom centered, I'd really like to hear what's out there! 

Anyway, look forward to my comeback! Hopefully it happens XD
