Hey guys, checking in again because my new job finally set me free. I guess. Have to go back soon.

But I had to reset my Discord due to some technical issues with it. I could sign in however it always showed me as "Invisible" or when it wouldn't connect at all said that the account was invalid despite accepting the credentials in the login. Still though with a little help the account got reset. Active DMs and such were lost and I have to reset my server stuff but no worries with that. Should be simple. I also got myself an Instagram. No IRL stuff yet but maybe soon. Mostly been using it as an RP venue since it plays nice with my phone even better than Discord does. I know people don't like either and that's fine but strangely my new phone just absolutely despises DeviantArt and since I cannot always bring a computer usually my phone is my only access to the outside world.

Hope everyone has been doing well. I want to wish everyone the best and apologize a bit to a few people who I said I would talk to more often and just fell off the world; granted for good reason since I had to pursue my career a bit fervently in order to make sure I could effectively pay and live like a normal person. Still though I'm looking forward to reconnecting on those outlets.

Guess Who?

6 min read
    It's been way too long. With working in the new PMC role I have been able to make myself a bit more... busy than expected. Unfortunately that means that quite a few things got pushed back... WAY BACK.

    But I'm lucky enough that my new schedule checks me back at home every weekend due to it being a local deployment. So thankfully I'll have my own computer, my own bed, and my own relaxation finally away from the fellow grunts I work with. That being said I moved basically with my fellows only to find out we lost the contract and then had to move again... That being said it wasn't too terribly awful getting to our new homes and plus we're far more spread out. But with time unfortunately comes change I am afraid and that includes me as well. So that means I have to find someone who can do an update on Tia in a commission and not mind if I pick out some details...

    Besides that there isn't going to be quite as much from me as some people probably want since mostly I have fallen free from the typical groups I ran with. Examples being that along with the majority of my friends leaving DeviantART because of personal or family reasons there have been quite a few things that have really done a number and kept us separated.

    Ascended-Spartan and Cambrie-Sabella for example got married! The two had a wedding where everyone came back together and enjoyed it. That being said however Sabella has come under severe medical discord due to an anomalous defect in one of her heart valves causing arrhythmia. Complications were minor at first however when her body attempted to correct the said arrhythmia it actually ruptured the valve and caused severe bleeding. She's suffering now from having a wonderful healing factor that partially closed the defect improperly and now they have to go in, cut it back open, and close it the right way before trying to deal with the arrhythmia at the source. Leo has been at her side most if not all the time he can be while still keeping their house and property theirs.

    Mirajane-Dragonheart is currently on deployment in the US Marine Corps. Unfortunately all I got to do is talk briefly with her before her deployment however she claims to be visiting Japan for some training exercises. Meanwhile she also took a leave from DeviantART because she wasn't sure how well her ideas would fare... she may return if people want her back but it would mostly be soldier stuff she says.

    LisannaHarribel will be joining me back on the web here shortly! She happily achieved her dream as a surfer and won a Championship out in Hawaii! Plus on top of that she's got a double major in Fashion Design and Interior Decoration. Her theme is Contemporary/Ultra-Modern so expect her to have some seriously cool designs coming out if you enjoy that kind of thing. I know both appeal to me so I'll be easily one to jump on board and watch her closely!

    Amber-Hawke achieved her dream of becoming a naval ship Captain in Germany and is awaiting her deployment to  a new next-generation cruiser fielded by the German Heer. Contact with her is far and few between but she hopes everyone is doing well though her time was short.

    Yui-Takamura took up a new name here on DeviantART however I cannot say for sure if I know it. She said she didn't want to recover her account rather just start anew. Her life kinda got rocky but from what Leo has told me she has plenty of responsibilities taking care of a shrine near Nikko, Japan.

    Rose-Dancer won an international dance competition however had a very scarring experience afterwards. I won't go into details but she has backed entirely off from the Internet for now but may return later in 2018 or in 2019 when she feels she has had time to recover.

    SiberianQueen is currently worse for wear as well sadly. Her home was destroyed after a large gas explosion and she was rushed to a medical facility in St. Petersburg where she is still recovering after almost 9 months. The explosion had her in a coma bouncing in and out of consciousness for nearly three months before she showed positive signs of improvement and afterwards now for the past six has been recovering from both entropy from the lack of movement and the physical damage done to her from debris, the concussive blast, and her impact which was enough to send her through her vehicle's roof strut and severely damaged its upper frame.

    ClericDarius sadly passed away on New Year's Eve when the vehicle he was in was struck by a drunk driver; fifteen minutes before the ball drop by reports. Unfortunately he and all three others in the vehicle were killed in the altercation, two instantly, two pronounced dead by blood loss when first responders arrived. The drunk driver and his passenger were also killed in the accident. 

    If I didn't mention a name its because I have no idea. Some of us are more far gone than others...
    Still though I hope to get on weekly and check the site as well as start getting some commissions in now that our contracted deal with the PMC handlers get us paid weekly instead of biweekly. In the meantime I'll be making ideas here and there as well as trying to figure out what to plan for when the time is right.

    Want to give a shout-out to :iconaliessa:
    Mostly just say "Hey Sis. I'm alive still." *insert soft chuckle here*
    Hope you haven't been working yourself too hard.

    Also to :iconcadengallic:
    Who kept me sane through talks on Skype (when I had a functioning PC or was on a desk rotation).

But that's that. I'm actually back this time. Deployment will be lasting until the first of June so there's that.
Enjoy yourselves!

Christmas Time.

7 min read
So short run down of why I was gone much, much, MUCH longer than I expected.

    1) I got hired at a new job~!
Corporate Security was nice however I was scouted for a Private Military Contractor position due to my size and experience (though unable to get through boot camp for medical reasons in the military, a PMC is a tad bit more lenient... if only a few millimeters...). Right now I am guarding a nuclear power plant and am working on trying to get all situated in this new life of mine. Due to a confidentiality clause I signed I cannot divulge a name of the company since if I did I probably would be out of a job. The contract pay from this job makes my old one look sad so... I want to keep that.

16 hour shifts on average however... are not helping me. Not to mention for the last few weeks before this journal, I had NO DAYS OFF. 7 days of 16 hours hurts... especially when fully kitted out in a vest that constricts your breathing carrying cold weather gear to patrol outside in.

    2) I'm in a new house!
Yup. Moved to a new location means a new house to match it. No thanks for taking a 6 hour trip to work every day... I wouldn't ever be able to sleep. The house is located on an island out in the middle of a bay? Lake? Large pond?

...

Hard to explain, but anyway, just out with water on all sides along with six other houses that belong to my coworkers. Guess one could call it my very own Sanctuary Hills! Just with less... well... things trying to kill me. The home is a two-story with attic, garage storage, loft, full basement, and three car garage. So pardon me when I say while I would love to commission people I still need to lock a budget down. Give me til the New Year.

    3) I have been sick as all hell the past few days.
By that, I mean by even trying to get up out of a bed I have been throwing up, and the thought of that only makes me feel worse. I am literally typing this without trying to move my head... at all... It's challenging. The feeling I have is that my insides are on fire, I have utterly lost my voice, and any hope I have of motion results in puking, extreme fatigue, then puking again.

I have had plenty of soup, multi-vitamins, and have been good about staying in bed. So hopefully it blows over soon.

    4) I have been trying to draw Christmas Presents in my spare time...
I wish I was kidding. It takes me about a month to draw a normal picture because I am FAR from good. Imagine trying to sketch with 12 hour days on average six days a week and then 14-16 hour days on average in the past month? Not much time to draw so the process extended about four more months. Still I put effort in to draw images for several people. I have four done and am trying to get one last one done before Christmas day. There are more eraser shavings on my desk than I can handle but every time I sweep them away they return in greater numbers...


    So there's that out of the way.
    I want to wish everyone a happy holiday and New Year coming up!

    Special Thanks to :iconaliessa: and :iconascended-spartan:
    Alie's basically been my big sister through this whole ordeal recently with being sick and the stress of the new job and let me vent to her while joking around. I don't get to talk to her much but every little interaction I have with her makes me joyous.

    Spartan's been putting personal projects on hold to help me out and make sure I am ok. Thanks to him I have basically been kept from tearing out my own hair from sheer and unrelenting stress.

    Holiday Shout-Out

    :iconmkonstantinov:
    
Happy Holidays Mk! One of my favorite people to commission he always makes me laugh and is quick to hear out my ideas and say if they are ok or need some more work. Hope the New Year treats you right Mk and good luck with all your projects!
    
    :iconosmar-shotgun:
    
Happy Holidays Osmar! Another one of my favorite commission artists to go to. I hope you and me can work together in this upcoming year, if Hiryuhime doesn't monopolize you once she's back on her feet, I did tell her you were probably one of the most quality-to-time artists one can find and fit her needs for art. Hope the New Year gives you plenty of business and you are graced with good health and plenty of love!

    :iconokioppai:
    
Me and Oki kinda fell out recently since I couldn't uphold a standard I promised. It was my fault completely and I don't expect him to really see me as anything other than one to avoid, however none the less I did not intentionally fall through since life just got hectic and busy between work, family, and the stress of losing some friends as well as him. Guess you could say I bit off more than I could chew. But I digress, I wish him a Happy Holidays and hope the New Year has him prospering happily with plenty of fortune and good health!

    :icongoku-senpai:
    
Happy Holidays Goku! One of the friendliest people I have ever met, he's quick to make me laugh and someone I confide in for many questions I have, plus he gives some of the best cuddles around. I hope to work with Goku in the future when I can and hope to give him some kind of repayment of the joy he granted me recently and over the last year. I don't expect to give it all back though since I go spells of time without talking with people since my schedule doesn't allow it.

    :iconhiryuhime:
    
I want to wish Hiryuhime a Happy Holiday and New Year. She's gone through so much recently with tragedy keeping her in a position like me, where we want to show we can be reliable, however are not since we have bad luck. Recently Hiryuhime had a fire in her home that burned two rooms down holding the belongings and memorial to her father. Before that, she was mugged in Tokyo and had a pendant stolen that held the last image she had of her mother. I really hope the New Year treats her right, she's too cute and when she cries it breaks my heart.

    :iconaliessa:
    
A true Happy Holidays to Aliessa is one with plenty of cheer, a bit of defiance, and in the end me giving her all the hugs I can. She's just someone I truly hold dear and hope the best for in the upcoming year. Honestly she's like an older sister to me and I love the synergy we have sometimes. Needs to stop being sick all the time though, she gets sick so often it drives me crazy, worried sick on how she will get.


    Alright. Time's up.
    That and this has taken me almost four hours to type up.
    Stupid sickness.

    Happy Holidays!

    With school starting up again and work picking up severely I need some time off DA and others til I get accustomed to the load of work I have been getting. My apologies if this hampers any processes or such but I seriously cannot handle the level of work I have been getting.

    I wish you all the best though!
    See you when I get back!

    All of those images will be uploaded later tonight.
    Til then, I get to enjoy a party.
