New DotM! And I'm not dead!

I'm going to revert back to the bullet method of updating I used to use cause a lot has happened and I want to keep it brief.

Remember my "new friend" from my last journal, the friend who was in Mexico, who I missed so much? Well... we're sort of kind of dating. Except scrap the sort of and the kind of. Yep... his name is Kevin, and I'm sure you haven't heard the last of him.

My... god, it feels so weird to say it... my ex-boyfriend, David, has cut off all contact from me. I know that it's what's best for him, to get away from me to heal from our breakup (which turned very nasty at the end), but... I miss him. God, I miss him so much. So I've been sort of moping in my room for a long time. Except scrap the sort of.

My dad got tickets to see Paul McCartney... AGAIN! So we're going to Maryland to see him at the Capital Center on my mom's birthday. BIRDE IS EXCITED. LIKE A BOSS.

I've been keeping myself busy with house-sitting, a CRAPLOAD of band gigs/practices, working myself to death, and writing when I can. So, yes, I've been avoiding dA. I still love you guys! I know I have a ton of comments to reply to, and I will, I promise.

I should've written about this in the last journal, but I forgetted. My wonderful friend ~Nortstar posted her drawing of my Transformers FC, Tantrum! He is so fiery and handsome and I love it. It is in the "Presents" column over there *points* >>> She has been busier than me for a long time and has been working on this drawing for a while, so please tell her what you think of her work!

I've also downloaded a torrent of all the Animorphs books, and all the companion books (I was sick of only having the first 6! ^_^) So I've been breezing through those. I've got some Andalite fan art coming up. I drew Aximili. And Elfangor, and Alloran. And I'm thinking of doing Aldrea. They're coming up soon, I swear.

Aaand now the big update, the reason (besides featuring Kat) that I remembered to write this journal at all: YOU ALL HAVE ONE WEEK'S NOTICE. We're taking the girl kittens Buddy and Squeaker in to the vet on JULY 7 to get bushwhacked (oops, was that not politically correct?) so that is the last day I will be accepting entries for the Catlike Qualities Contest! Fred and George are going in on the 8th, and the 8th at midnight (the 7th at midnight? uhh... the midnight between the 7th and the 8th!) is the official end of the contest. That is US Eastern Time, though guys, so if you're a couple hours behind or ahead, adjust your contest clock to make up for it. Like for Nortstar, the contest would end at... what, 6am? whereas for Booklover, it would end at 10... if she was participating. Which she's not. She's judging. But ANYway, as George Carlin would say, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Okiedokie, that's all I've got for now. I'm going to become scarce again because we've got like 3 band gigs in a row coming up (July 4th, Carroll Valley Park, 6 pm, BE THERE), so we're practicing like balls out there. I'll reply to comments/replies as soon as I can! Check out Kat's page, get your Catlike Qualities entries in order, and thanks for sticking with me!
