Arr, mateys. Been a while, eh?
Okay, if you read the comments on my page, you may have noticed that I just joined the PE. Yay! I'm quite thoroughly inebriated with joy over this - and some anxiety. But anxiety - as my close darlings know - makes me very productive.
The PE consists of roughly over a hundred artists, I think, and you see their work frequently posted with mention of the group on dA. They are a beautiful, friendly, family-like bunch who I've admired for some time.
I look forward to my first round of participation in their exchanges. "Oh boy oh boy oh boy!" as my puppy would say.
College is going great. I'm the top student in two of my classes (Psych, EnviSci) despite not being an enthusiast of the subjects. We're completeing midterms (as of my last exam tomorrow in WoRegGeography) and will soon be moving on to finals. Oohhhhh, boy. Fun. I won't have to take one final, because I am the top student, but haha, I'm not looking forward to the Geography final...
Christmas presents are going out. Some of you may have already gotten yours, and some of you may have been notified that yours is on the way, and some of you may be thinking: "Did she forget me?!" I did not. But shopping for some of you is difficult when you don't have wishlists. If you're a buddy of mine, leave me a link to stuff you want, dammit! I don't care if you do it privately or publicly. Mwah.
I want to squee properly over my darlings at ShadowStar. You rock my world, chickadees, and keep me creatively-generatin'. SQUEE. There, don't laugh.
Has anyone ever heard of Dollfies? Oof, I'm gettin' slightly obsessed with them as time goes on. They're basically extremely detailed ball-jointed dolls - THAT COST A FORTUNE. Just go to Google and look up "dollfies" and you'll see what I mean. My favorite site right now is the one that links to all the top suppliers: www.gigglegeek.dk/bjd.htm
NaNoWriMo is going to eat me alive. Don't know what NaNo is? www.nanowrimo.org
Okay. I think I'm done babbling. Wish me luck in this month's insanity!

Switching dA accounts! New name: kerosenekate...
Moving to: ~kerosenekate (https://www.deviantart.com/kerosenekate)
Hey guys. I've made the decision, after 8 years and a lot of hemming and hawing, to change my dA account. I didn't want to do it, wanted to keep this account for how hard I've worked on building my rep through it and a history of activity.
But, well, I finally bucked up and made the change. I'd complained for years about how I wished I hadn't chosen "dreor" as my username, but did not want to give up the account's years and years of activity and the following I'd worked to build. Unfortunately, sometimes it's just necessary to face the cons over the pros.
Switching accounts to kerosenekate (https://www.deviantart.com/kerosenekate) will afford me
COMMISSIONS OPEN!
Commissions are open!
Though I am not as active as I once was on dA, I am still here in some capacity. And for the first time, I'm opening up commissions to the general public here at dA! My computer recently went kablooey, so I am having to get together money very quickly to buy a new one since I'm still in college classes as a digital arts student...so I sort of NEED to have a good computer to do my assignments and work on, obviously.
OPTIONS FOR COMMISSIONS
:bulletorange: Option A: $100 for 2 characters, full body, full color w/background
-- EXAMPLES: :thumb98639732: :thumb162362796:
:bulletorange: Option B: $75 for 1 character, f
Recommended commissionable artists...
Looking for people to commission for good art? Try these people!
~brianne333 (https://www.deviantart.com/brianne333) - Gorgeous art and is currently desperately in need of money. Affordable prices! Please at least see her journal and spread the word if you have a minute.
:iconphoenixelement: - Very clean, quick, and talented! Recently moved to a new city and is still looking for work and starting to feel desperate about the jobhunt, so the income from commissions is helpful.
:iconhoboriss: - Great artist capable of lovely painting, quirky character style, and more. College students always need money!

Four pieces of what's up...
Here's a quick update on things at the moment!
1) dA's "subscription aggression" seems to have eased off. At least, enough that it's not constantly pissing me off as stated in that previous journal entry. Hoorah for that.
2) I just deleted probably nearly 100 things from my gallery and scraps. Most of them were from 2003 or 2004, but there were some others that I nixed as well. It was just time. They were old and no longer represented my skills or tendencies as an artist. Some if it was gift art for Mel or Ren or Brianne or my sis. I doubt you do, but if you guys want copies I have them somewhere.
3) Spring semester for the year at college
