Okay, so I may be the farthest thing from an "Empress"... or is it "Emperess"?

Not the point.

The point is that everytime I logged in, I really got sick of seeing the little miserable emoticon from my last journal splayed out on my profile page. I kept saying, "I should really write a new journal, if only to kick that one out of sight." Ah, but when procrastination strikes, it never does anything half-assed, does it?

Anywho, I'm semi back in the swing of things. I'm back in California, wondering how in the hell I managed to live in anything lower than a fifty degree climate, and missing my cat like crazy. He had to be left behind with my roommate until he could come down in May, all because he couldn't stay with my in my mother's house. She's terribly allergic. But he'll be going back to the family who gave him to me.

But again, I digress.

I've gotten back into art a bit, and will hopefully have new things to stick in here. Maybe even... *gasp* an icon!?

One can only hope. *shrug*
