After my last post, I'd already been having troubles with my computer (from a little after last January I had a few disastrous crashes but each time I recovered) only to finally have my machine give up the ghost late last spring.

I had fully intended to return quickly and buy a new machine, but it ended up being way more expensive than I expected for one that was better than my old seven year old tower and I wasn't able to save money until after the holidays of last year.

The whole situation stressed me out intensely, as I didn't know when I'd ever get back online properly and it killed a lot of my desire to do casual chatting with people from here as it just reminded me of how I couldn't do art or other things.


I'm sorry, and if anyone is still watching hopefully I can post more now!!
