dear lord. i haven't updated my account for ages.
as of the current time, here's all you need to know:

i'm 17.
i like to think i'm getting better all the time.
i'm still around, but i'm not planning on posting anything. i'll just be lurking around, watching people.

i left because this account had become so tiresome to maintain. i might get back to it, but only after another era. then again, maybe not -- i'm considering making another account, to symbolize a 'new chapter' in my dA life. such a novelty is highly tempting.
crud. is 'starting over' by way of a new account such a good idea? sometimes i think it's still better to pick up where i left off. that is, in the unlikely event that i post new art at all as ~ayos.

[and so it was that after a year on hiatus my only update for dA was a journal entry.]
[at least you know i'm still alive.]
