Well now, it surely has been a while. I apologize. I had meant to update sometime in January, but the chance to do that just slipped away before I knew it. I've also been suffering from a horrible designer's block for the last few months, thus the lack of new additions, as well as thorough lack of motivation to do anything anymore. The year started out rather rough for me, both personally and graphically, but hopefully that will change.

Anyway, first things first, the deadline for the Color Me Crazy Contest is quickly approaching! There's just a little over a week left, so do get your entries in before then! Currently, there are eleven entries, with new entries from Lily, Yuki and Misaki. There's still time for you to enter so, get those entries in!

Mm, other than that, I've joined a new contest held by Tomorrow's Deception. Do join it as well. It's always more fun when more people join.

And right along with that, I bring you a few goodies. There's two new icons from Sex Pistols, which I ended up rereading and reobsessing over in January, one new wallpaper featuring the Junjou Egoist pairing, which is also the first fully vexelled wallpaper on IntoxD. and one new design featuring XANXUS and Squalo fanart of the animanga series Katekyo Hitman Reborn as drawn by my little sister, Sennel. It's not a whole lot, but it's something.

Other than that, you may or may not hear from me again for a while. I'm in the midst of rearranging my thoughts and the code on the restructuring of IntoxD. along with many of my other sites. I have the general idea down, along with the basics of the database for the new Intox, but it'll take time to get everything scripted, tested and debugged, so it may seem as though I've died. So, I'm just giving you all a heads up now. ♥ Hope everyone has an excellent weekend!

[ EDIT NOV. 30, 2009 ] Well, as it so happens, my laptop caught a virus and killed itself. I was left with reformatting as my only option and since I had to do so without having the opportunity to back up any of my files, I'm kind of SOL for the time being. To make this short and to the point, you won't be seeing any updates from me for a while. This little set back has greatly increased my want to just be a lazy bum, so, bear with me. I apologize, but we'll see where it goes from here. [ END EDIT ]

First and foremost, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! I couldn't make a post on Halloween (more like I just had nothing to post about), so I'm here on Thanksgiving to bring you many gifts. Or I could simply be wasting time at work since I've really got nothing to do...

Well, all joking aside, I've been doing a lot of off-site designing, mostly wallpapers, and well, wasting time reading and watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn. After many, many months of avoiding the series, I've finally gotten myself knee deep in the series (finished all of the manga in about a week). I'm so magical like that. ♥

That is the lame reason I'm giving you as to why I haven't really added much lately. Though, truth be told, I'm suffering from a designer's block, but from what I recall, I've been on one since the start of last year. So, that may or may not be the case. I've just been lacking massive motivation, but it comes and goes, so hopefully it'll get better from here.

Now, to give you what you're all actually here fore, I come bearing gifts. I've been doing a lot of work with Okane ga Nai and Katekyo Hitman Reborn, so don't expect much variety. LOL. First, there's two new icons. Second, one new wallpaper and finally, two new premade designs. However, for those who wish to see other wallpapers I may have made or may potentially make (that aren't shounen-ai based), you're free to friend me on Animepaper or Minitokyo. I forgot I never exactly advertised the fact that I do surf both sites quite a bit. Haha...

And before I go, I'd like to announce a few things about the contest. Most importantly, the deadline has been pushed back to February 12, 2010. This way, those of you busy with university will have a little more time to get your entries in. Secondly, I revised a rule that was slightly confusing (the browser and resolution one). I apologize for the confusion. And lastly, many thanks to Rinku for submitting her entry. All current entries are lovely, so do take a look on the entries page.

Well, I guess this is it from me. Take care everyone and I hope everyone has a splendid weekend! Don't go too crazy on Friday~
