My slow life
17 years ago
Hello again folks. I wish I could say that a lot has happened in six months, but I would say that 95% of my real life can be described as wash-rinse-repeat ad infinitum. No shock that, admittedly.
The news I do have is this: in August I attended FA United. It was pleasant, small, though as I am not one who knows a lot of people, nor places herself squarely in their path, I usually don't get invited to events (not to mention I'm so damn sedate as to be downright boring at such). Thusly, for me, it was a short, pleasant, exceedingly quiet affair hampered most notably by my lack of money.
Then there's this month, September. As usual, nothing of great import except the passage of my 38th birthday on the 21st. Yet another year older, yet another year feeling every inch my age times ten, and yet another day that passed with nothing of note happening.
On slightly better news, I can say I'm pleased to note that after a nine-year dry spell of barely being able to stand putting pencil to paper, I've once again, haltingly, stumblingly, begun to put pencil to paper and sketch again. Mayhap this year it'll come back far enough to keep my interest and enthusiasm. It's like starting over from scratch. No skills left. I can only pray and work at seeing if I can bring it back up.
Well, that's it for this quiet Kitsune. As the New York City Police here like to say: "Nothing to see folks. Move along! Move along!"
Ciao,
Mika

the boring part honestly isn't a BAD thing per se, it is more along the lines of uninspiring. I don't mind a life without many shake-ups, as I can appreciate quite deeply what stability brings. Sadly, it does also bring with it a fight against stagnation as well.
As to the matter of drawing, I shall need to think of things, once I get back past the level of drawing stick-figure doodles again. It has been nine long years since I've drawn, and the result of that has been utter atrophy of my skills. I shall be a fair bit of time before I can once again crank out a sketch of any semblance of quality wiothin a weeks' time, let alone any level of proficiency in shorter. When (not if) that time comes, though, rest assured I shall listen to those around me for suggestions and thoughts.
Yours with much love and hugs,
Mika
Thank you, dear heart.
I hope things pick up for you ^^
Barely see yeh on aim to get a chance to chat about anything though. Proves how much busy yeh are and all.
Though best of luck with the drawing thing. I don't think i've really ever seen anything you've drawn or really seen you do much else except 3-d stuff. If you ever need help with anything. You know theres quite a few of us that would be willing to help.
It is less a matter of thinking about the aging thing as being rather vehemently reminded of it by my body, which seems to be of the mind to stage violent protests to the activities I made common in my youth. ^_^
As to the matter of AIM, yes, this is a truism for me: oft-times I am incommunicado for extended periods of time. It is merely my nature.
As to the matter of drawing again, should you burrow a bit deeper into my gallery, such as to the beginning, you will find the older things I did when still actively drawing those nine years ago. Hopefully I will have the enthusiasm to work myself up to and maybe even past that level again, though I suspect it shall take me a few years of labor.
Many thanks for writing, dear. These replies from my friends oft-times are what keeps me going.
Yours with love,
Mika
Thank you, Salen dear. I miss you dearly on SL.
*hugs again*
Love you, hon!
Yours,
Mika
You take care though, hon. :)

I hope many many things will be better for you.
With love always,
Mika
I can understand most fully how it can feel to only be offered moral support, but it is due to distance oft-times all we here can provide. Were it that it were elsewise, truly.
*hugs close and warmly, deeply worried and caring for her friend*
Much love and prayers for your fortune, dear heart.
Yours,
Mika
We shan't even get on the matter of family. Shy of my mother, whom I love and adore dearly, the rest of my family could drop off the face of the planet tomorrow and I would not only not mourn, but likely spend my last red cent throwing a loud, obnoxious and boisterous celebratory party.
We are more alike in that, dear heart, than you may imagine.
With love,
Mika
Thanks, dear heart.
It's good to see someone within my age range as well, as oft-times I feel very much like I am the withered ancient walking through the halls of some demented elementary school.
Well met, dear heart, well met indeed.
Yours,
Mika Kyubi

As for the matter of cybersex, goodness knows in this fandom especially those who care little for it are rare, as well as additionally pretty much being relegated to the background. It is a matter which I find no small amount vexing and annoying, as well as rather thoroughly helpless to change. Still, as has been true throughout the ages of humanity, whether real or through printed media or video, sex sells, sadly enough.
Hey, since your on SL, maybe we can meet each other and chat some more. My name on SL is Danball Tureau.
