So. I didn't want to get annoyed at the admin of a group I'm a member of but I did. SO... allow me to explain where I have been. Week of Dec. 15th: Get sick with a cold. Even with my sore throat, nausea, and head ache I still sing my little heart out at the choral concert at my school. Then sing with Vocal Jazz at the school admin building. Then sing at Rudi Awards (Christmas talent show at school). Week of Dec. 23: Sing at church with kids. Sing for Christmas Eve Service. Go back and forth for Christmas. Then get sick the day after Christmas. Spend the next week with a fever ranging from 99.0 to 102.5 Week of Dec. 30: Still sick. Go back to school and get a whole heck of a lot of homework. Try out for spring musical Hairspray. Week of Jan. 6: Get into Hairspray. Start rehearsals. More homework. Church choir. Week of Jan. 13: Spend 10 hours at chool everyday. Still lots of homework. Pluss essays and tests and end of quarter stresses. Still church choir.

Now please. Please tell me I'm lazy. AP Studio Art is already sucking the life outta me and I don't need it on here too. I'm sorry that I'm ranting to you guys but I don't want to be called lazy when the person calling me lazy has no idea why I'm non-responsive.

As many of my favorite artists on this site have said: I have a life outside of this site.

I promise I will always try to follow commitments that I make on this site but please don't make me feel like crap when I'm already exhausted, sore, and have... no... time.

So, I'm sorry I had to come down on ya'll like this. But this is all leading up to this: I am taking a break from deviantart. A longer break than I've been taking.

I need to focus my art on AP Studio, and I just don't have time anymore to be worried about how many faves or watchers I have. I won't deactivate my account, but I won't be adding anything anytime soon.

Thank you for your patience and love.

See you next time,
