The reason I was gone my friends was for the following reasons:
1. Lazy and in need of a break
2. Recent computer wipe-out resulted in loss of motivation.
3. School: projects, reports and exams, taking up my time.
4. In the process of moving had to pack, mountain upon mountain of clothes, junk and my messy messy desk.
5. Finally moved to new apt with family, phone line up the 2nd day in, turns out my DSL wasn’t going to be connected at least for a week.
So that’s it really, that’s the reason why I was M.I.A. for like EVER. Doesn’t mean that I gave up on SA, in fact with me having the summer off and possibly no work, it leaves me with plenty of time for SA, CB and Subeta. Happy news indeed. Anyway, I will continue to work better on the site and create more content, in this case more myspace layouts. Work a little harder in spreading SA’s name around for more visitors. Pay more attention to my affiliates, without you guys I would get no blog comments and those make my day. Love you guys! (In a totally friendly way)
So here is the deal for SA, more content (number one!), work more with stock, apparently working with celebrity images is like the new taboo now a days. But I would continue to work on my ADV site, that site is like dead without any celeb images. I would also need to work harder to get that site known. Also need to work more on making icons… banners, resources (glares at my crappy scanner), and more tutorials. I might also add in some advice… everything now a days seems to bother me in how things look. Possibly the work of A: turning this hobby into a career or B: just me being a picky 19 year-old girl… no idea.
Before its forgotten I want to thank those who posted comments even if it seemed like I disappeared off the face of the earth. Speaking of that I totally need to add a blog post to Planeteater.
And before yah guys ask, the reason why I didn’t do a thing while my computer was up and running a week before I had internet… well honestly as I make new content I’m always online looking for new ideas, new resources , talking to people, and listening to music… the works. It motivates me. The lack of internet since I moved has actually been a downer. I catch like two un-secured routers here in the building but one is such a pain (oddly, its close enough to get 90%-100% signal strength, but when it comes time to connect to it, it tells me that it’s too far), and the other is a major tease. Only manage to get to the internet on my PSP and PS3, oddly can’t on a laptop or my desktop. But the upside I’ve been slowly creating my room, I got a lot more room for posters now in my new room, and I also been playing with my DS more now, than in the whole year I had it. (Got the guitar hero bundle… it was the only game I played on it. Should have waited…. The red Mario version was so much more cuter *frowns*)

That those windows updates that normally fix any problems or prevent any problems your normally encounter with your computer… well if you have them downloading while your surfing the net or working on the computer you run the risk of getting them corrupted. That’s what happened to me. And it also fried the hell out of my hard drive. So i got a new one and finally  typing this entry from my desktop. Laptops are such a pain. Sure i lost all my crap, but had this been a year ago i would of been crying in a corner. lol

Thanks to all those who comment, i will be getting to making new content now that i have a fresh start. Although i had a big set of contant buttons sitting to be uploaded prior to losing them all. So i gotta do those again.

Advice Get a external harddrive and use that for all the crap you DON’T want to lose. You will regret not doing it. Trust me.

I can’t believe I lost everything on my computer. It wasn’t my personal files like pictures, and al my art that upsets me, its all my original photoshop files and resources thats something I will miss. Although thanks to my credits section on the site I can get most of it back, but those original files are gone forever. Thankfully I was smart enough to move my purchased backgrounds to that external harddrive i got for xmas, but not smart enough to move all my site stuff. I would have redo all that crap. Seems I caught a worm, that starting eating all my major files that effected the start up of my computer, and replacing them wasn’t working. Then my mom tried to reinstall vista on my 2nd drive (that didn’t have all my files) but after that getting into the drive with all our files wasn’t working. So all that was left was to wipe it out. So now cleaned, installing all those updates is the only problem we are getting now. I can’t win.

I got the week off this week but this will most likely be spent trying to get all my programs back.

Oh yeah i got a tablet. lol can’t use it till i get my photoshop back.
