On this day of All Hallow’s Eve, I have returned to the land of the deviantART living…. to arise from the undead!  
>.<*         OKAY, I know!  Enough with the ridiculous puns!  It’s time to be serious….. Using Q&A!

Is this some evil Halloween trick-or-treat scheme, or did you really return to deviantART?
YES, I have returned to deviantART, so I hope to be updating semi-regularly and visiting others works soon. I will be posting my artwork only as I complete it (sketched, fully drawn, lined, colored, and digitalized for drawings and completely written/spellchecked for fan-fictions), but I will most likely not be posting any of my sketches anymore (I may poll this- if you want to respond please do so there). I won’t be on here daily, but then I won’t be gone for almost a year again. When in doubt as to will I show up again, just know I will be getting on here eventually… but probably a tad bit later than expected. ^u^
Excuse me for saying this, but WTF! Where HAVE you BEEN? Where’s the explosion of deviations!?  
Pretending to be a mature adult often means having fun comes last. *Shakes fist at adulthood* I’m not going into details, but I will give you this…  The reason there isn’t a flood of stuff coming with this single pict/fict is because my hard drive crashed about a month ago: right before I planned to start posting again. In other words, all the work I have done since October of 2009 is most likely gone, unless a costly hard drive repair recovers it (which leads to the relevance of my future poll on “How much are YOUR memories worth?”- respond then ;3 ). So yeah, otherwise…. Don’t ask.
So will you be as active a member as you used to be, and comment, fave, reply, and so on?
NO/ I DOUBT IT. I will not be as “socially-active” as I once was. I joined deviantART to enjoy Sonic, in particular ShadowXAmy, artwork.  I wanted to have fun and enjoy artwork with friends. Comment requirements, overwhelming social updates, tags, requests, and sometimes even socializing can end up being a lot of work and that takes away from me being able to get artwork done. I already have a lot on my plate so I had to decide between leaving dA permanently, or being present but less-than-par on the social upkeep. That doesn’t mean I think I am too good for anyone (on the contrary, I think the opposite!), nor do i plan to constantly ignore people/not make new friends (IF they can stand me- LOL). It just means I might not be social enough to some, and I’m sorry if that upsets anyone. For everyone that has read this far:

THANK YOU to everyone for your kindness in watching, adding favorites, commenting, and showing interest in what I do on here. It really means a lot to have that kind of support and even if I don’t tell you, every comment is treasured, every favorite is noticed, and every attempt to say ‘hi’ or ‘I’m here!’ is seen. I’m sorry but there is just not enough time during my day to ever catch up and be able to tell each person besides in a mass journal page post.
For all my good friends, I apologize for the distance and thank you so much for standing by me, or in some cases, dragging me back out of the trenches… I missed sharing my artwork with you and our lovely conversations. I hope I can repay you all someday for what you’ve given me.

Anything coming up you want to spill your guts about?
Not really- surprises are fun for everyone, especially when I get to give them >: 3, but I will say that I haven’t forgotten about anything important I left from before. The compilation with ~ihearrrtme is still largely on my mind (and as my background!), LOASR is getting edited and restarted/continued, Amaranthine is continuing (though I have a LOT to rewrite), and I have a bunch more fictions plotted out (that I will NOT mention!). Drawings… well I rather wait to see if I can save up and get back my already completed works than redraw them, so it’s mostly going to be sporadic here and there ‘what I really want to complete’ stuff until I find out if I can officially bury my drive/hard work/wasted time.

Are you going to stop wasting my time with your overdrawn-out journal?
YES! I just want to add a few more things before I end this so anyone reading this (KUDOS and plutonic love to any that are this far) can all get on with your lives!
I do not take requests anymore. Please don’t ask.
I still don’t condone art theft. HOWEVER, I am only one person with no right to run the world, so if you want to copy my art PLEASE tell me in a note (so I can come see it!) and reference the original picture (with a link to the dA page it’s on). If you use it on YouTube (which I am totally honored when I see it in a PRO-shadamy video) I hope you can mention all the artists names in that cute little pullout tab that usually has good-to-know info about the video.
PS: I’m sure you all have noticed this, but I thought as a nice treat I would include a mini-fiction in the artist’s comments with Undead Rhapsody
I can’t think of any more important things to add, so uh yeah- TTFN!  *waves bye*
