Hello all....or none because to be honest i don't know how many people actually will read this. Haha.
Anyways, I have risen from the dead, and have spontaneously decided to check my old dA account.
I have decided that I won't disappear for a year again. It doesn't mean I'll be posting anything, just that I feel bad for abandoning the site.
If any of you actually read this, drop a line or so. I miss my dA buddies and would like to keep in touch.

Anyways, as an update(since I really have no idea how long it has been since I was last logged in):
Nothing has changed much. I am still the same Kate as before. Maybe a little more mature, and obviously a little older. I amm currently still in high school...blech. Not that I didn't graduate last year, I just felt like upgrading some of my classes for a better average.
I started working in a bar/pub as a server (waitress) and I love it to death, and the tips aren't bad either.
In December 08 i applied for university, and over the course of the last few weeks I have been accepted to 3 of my 5 choices, so my fear of having nowhere or nothing to do next year is behind me.

Unfortunately, I have discontinued my writing in my free time. I mean no disrespect to the fantastic writers here on dA, but MY personal period of time when I was writing, I believe now, to have just been a phase in my early teens. I still read and appreciate different work, but I didn't feel my writing was growing with me. It stuck in that angsty teenage stage of life where everything was sad and bleak and depressing, and I got bored of it, now I can't write a poem to save my life.

My apologies to those who really don't need to be reading this...I just felt like typing. haha.

Like what I mentioned above with my poetry, I also feel the same about my sketches and drawings. It was a phase of sad depressing bleak and agsty adolescence that is better...MUCH better left behind me. Not that I'm any better off...I just now feel embarrassed for posting it all over the internet like I did with my writing.

Anyways, I just dropped in to say that I'm not gone (for those who care) and I'll be trying to visit as much as I can between work and school. Who knows, my return to dA might spark some new found inspiration and creativity and I may decide to post something.
So for those of you who just wasted a good 5 minutes reading this, leave me a message or something letting me know you are still around. I'd love to hear from any of you!!
I missed you all!
Peace and love
Kaitly-the-Penguin (aka. Kate) <3
