Hey Steemit!
I know, I know. I dropped off the face of the planet again. Disappeared from the discord. Scarcely on Steemit. Ghosted from...idk what starts with G. You get the idea.
Hopefully the comic gave you some insight into why. Life got...really hectic again in the last month. I mean, it was pretty hectic since 2018 started, but you know. It didn't stop. Just kept snowballing and snowballing.
Let's start with the biggest one. I moved! Yes! I still live in Southern California, and technically in LA county, but not in LA proper anymore. Different city. And in my own apartment, like an actual grown up! It's been a little overwhelming because I don't actually have that much stuff (but at the same time, I still have a lot of shit) but I've been having some fun decorating. Finally hung up all my art a couple days ago. Once I buy frames for all the new prints I got from Wonder-Con, then I'll FINALLY be done, and I can focus on just trying to keep my place tidy for more than a day lol.
I also ran a 15K. It actually wasn't terrible, even though I ran it early in the morning in the rain and wind and got a foot cramp after and was sick for a day. #healthy
And then last week, I turned 25! Holy shit! I'm so young but also so old! I'm literally going through a Quarter Life Crisis! I'm half a half of a century!
I ended up having a blast of a birthday weekend, and got the closest I've ever been to blackout drunk without feeling terrible, and ate lots of kbbq and sang lots of karaoke. A great time tbh. But jeez, like...you know how people say they don't feel any different on their birthday? Not the case for me. I felt it. I felt the weight of my years...my sins...lol
I still feel 23 tbh.
And THEN and then, this past weekend, I went to Wondercon with 
(source is We're the Millers, which is the dumbest movie i've ever seen, but Jason Sudeikis is great)
I'll do a haul post later if anyone is interested...seriously, I'm glad I'm getting some bank back for my tax return, otherwise there would have been at least one (1) ragret...
And through all of that...as you may have guessed from the last panel...I may have... started talking... to my ex again........LOL
Yes, yes, I KNOW that's a bad idea. 9/10 people I've talked to think so. But, you know, in style of bon jovi, IT'S MY LIFE, and if I have to make a potentially dumb decision, then so be it.
Then again, maybe it won't be a dumb decision, so there.
Anyways, enough of me yammering about my life. Let's get some process pics, shall we?
(and yes, I know, eventually I will get fancy and do a gif or a straight speed-paint, but I'm easing back into routine)
Thanks for reading! Sorry for ghosting!
