Hey. I likely don't even have followers anymore. Oh well.

But lately I've been playing Neopets again, because I'm a glutton for punishment. And all it's really got me feeling is nostalgia. I really miss Roleplaying, and drawing my neopet characters. I miss all my old friends I made there (hey! If you're still there! HI! I miss you!)

I'm also having this mental block with my characters, which I think stems from the way fursona's/sparkledogs/etc culture has shifted over the last several years. I know I should just draw them how I want, but I can't get over them being Too Colorful/Sparkly, you know? It used to be totally cool to have... Petsite-like characters, and now it feels like I'm doing something wrong. My characters mean the absolute world to me, and in my head they are more developed than they've ever been... I just can't get past this drawing block based on perceived aesthetic choices.

I've been wanting to draw more, but my life does not agree with that idea. I work full time, and although my partner and I make enough to live quite comfortably, it exhausts what little energy and creativity I have. I want to try drawing Anthro, I want to get all my character bios updated with new information. But I just.... SIGH.

Whatever, I don't know what I'm saying. But if any of my friends from the old days of the internet are reading this right now... Hit me up, I'd like to see how you're doing.

Hrmmm how's life? I haven't heard anyone say 'neopets' in ages.

Yea, life takes over but that's how it's suppose to go. I guess you'd have to find a pocket of time to be creative.
