Yes. I am returned. Briefly. God knows if my stolen internet connection will last, or if my boyfriends microscopic netbook will decide to explode. (For $100, I would say the exploding probability is quite large. Wouldn't you?)

In any case...I don't even know where to begin to explain where I have been. The storms during the summer with heavy rains and winds, not to mention hail, pretty much left us without internet, and our cable internet company is still trying to recover from the burden. So, I have shamelessly hacked into a wireless connection out of frustration and decided that sucking away someone else's bandwidth is better than leaving my friends to think I've abandoned them >_>;;; Blarg.

Life has been strange. I had a freak accident in which my leg fell through the rotting boards of the front porch and a nail went through my shoe, almost all the way through the top of my foot a little over a month ago. They were very large, old nails T__T Needless to say the damage to my tendons/bones has left me unable to walk that well. Though I can walk now, its neither very fast, very far, or for very long periods of time.

The good news? I no longer work at the hell hole called S&S. Although I'm not where I desire to be (The Netherlands *sigh* ._.) A close friend of mine who works in a tattoo/art shop got me a job working along side him, customizing BJD's and sculpting heads. Yes...at long last I get to touch those $600+ dollar dolls I so covet EVERY FREAKING DAY X3 Its a dream job, and I have so much less stress NOT being a manager. I was offered managorial duties because of my resume. I declined. Its a wonderful, peaceful little shop. But frankly I know where being a manager got me, and I think that I honestly still have to recover from what the stress left me with.

Oh...and I turned 23 O___o I feel old T__T

I'm seriously not used to blogging anymore, so forgive me if I don't seem my usual self, or if my writing is rather inelegant...I've been away from the internet for far too long, and its a little strange trying to get back to it again O_o

So, what has been going on on this account while I've been gone? Lets see...

I have 8,729 Deviations, 2,931 Messages and 1 Note

ONLY 1 NOTE? D8< That's almost dissapointing.

But lets look at some of the wonderful comments I've received while I've been gone, shall we?

Here's some of my favorites >: D

1. FREAKING BLOODY HELL! YOU WERE SO AMAZINGLY LUCKY! (I still have no clue as to what this comment is about. I'm certainly not.)

2. *pounces at Jareth and kisses his GORGEOUS face!* (Jareth: O_____________________o)

3. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
can i play with him please o please o PLEASE *puppy dog eyes* (T____________________T)

4. ...you're terrible (YES YES I AM.)

And before I get flamed for being a jerk...these comments are thousands of years old. XD

ANYWHO.

Now onto the mean and nasty stuff.

I have something I would like to say.

MY ARTWORK IS NOT FOR TRACING. EVER. NOT EVER. That is called COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. I don't give a flying monkeys ass what deviant art says about "tracing being art" Tracing is not art. Tracing is stealing from artists who work hard to produce creative, origional pieces. I don't care how long I have been away from DA, or how long my account has sat unused. That Dosn't make my art bloody free game for fucking art thieves. I don't care how much you change in the tracing-I still see my origional lines there, and unless you think I'm stupid,you probably imagined that you've gotten away with it.

And the fact that my *MOST* Important, *LEGALLY COPYRIGHTED* characters was ripped off....seriously...how could anyone possibly think that they could get away with ripping off the goddamn FIGUREHEAD of my entire gallery. Trejah. Yes, they thought they could get away with changing his name, tracing my work....and didn't even have the origionality to alter the storyline of "their character" beyond scraping away my origional touches and creating "generic romance hero gypsy/thief/ladies man regrets his past hates himself and longs for love # 467".


>____>


Seriously. Don't ever think you can steal my characters. Ever. Trejah will eat you in your sleep.

Really.

My only consolation is that the art has been removed by deviant art staff and taken down, almost as soon as I reported. Granted, the tracings were EPICLY BAD. But still recognizeable as having origionated with my work.

I have saved the pirated works to my computer, for mocking and seething purposes. And for the LOLZ when I'm not annoyed out of my skull any more.

But honestly. Don't steal what's important to someone, what they put their heart and lifeblood into. Anyone who knows me well knows Trejah is as important to me as any living person...if you or anyone you know ever thinks of tracing or nicking someone elses art, don't do it. Learn to draw, or don't waste your time. Think of the feelings of the artist, for fucks sake. Have a little decency.

*sighs* T__T

Anyway...I'm epic. I've lost half of the passwords to everything and need to recover them XD *headdesk* That and I need to top up my phone and call people (yeslovethatsmeansyou o.o;

I suppose this is all for now...perhaps an update tomorrow? XD

If I remember XD

~Nightshade

A MAN.

A MAN. YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. A GREAT BIG RED HAIRED MAN. WITH LOTS OF MUSCLE. Did I mention red hair? Long red hair. To his ARSE red hair. Sexy red hair <3 CEDRIC.

I don't knbow if I mentioned him before, I can't remeber if I wrote a journal on him or not (its been so long..) But I met him at King Richards Fair...playing hammered dulcimer *__* And well...fell in love with him...and he with me...and lots of unpleasant things happened to him to keep him from me, and I thought he abandoned me...

BUT HE DIDN'T! And he's BACK! And that strange bouquet of two roses I got a while ago? From HIM! X3

And...holy shit x___x

And my dad loves him...mum is pensive...dad liked him from the moment he saw him, the guy is so gentle. He immediately started helping me out with Mordecae when he came in...god x___x I love him...

I'll write a sane journal later x__x

AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE HER BUNS KICKED FOR CALLING AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO..ahhh bond, yeah, bond...I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW CEDRIC THREW MY PHONE AFTER THE 4th TIME XDD

So, yeah, he's going to go see his sister in a minut, and after that I;m going to get him a job at my work x___x And holy shit X_x

X3 <3

EDIT:
Ok...XD I'm slightly calmer. I haven't really slept all night, but my brain is running on lovemaking and complete happiness X3

So, yes, I got Cedric a job at my workplace.He's been living like a gypsy for several years now, travling from ren-faire to ren-faire to play his music, with his sister and best friend. He's lived out of a trailer. But recent events have taught him that he really can't continue living that way any more, and I'm really happy that he's decided to finally settle down and get himself a job. His sister is pregnant with Jack's baby (his best friend) and its starting to make him realize that they all need a stationary life- A trailer is no place to raise a child.

So, I got him a job working in my store, even though he won't get to start work yet, its still a good thing, because it means his life will be stable. He's going to go with his sister and Jack to the doctors today, he wants to be there to see the baby on the echo for the first time X3 I really want to go as well, but I'm so tired I can barely see straight, so I'm going to get some sleep now x__x I literally stayed up all night with him, we only dozed a bit....XD Hopefully he can come over again later, if not he said he would come online to talk at the library...I miss him already x__x

But, oh my god, I'm so happy X_X

And as far as Mordecae and dad are doing, Dad is doing better than Mordy really, mostly because Mordy gets so depressed laying around and not able to jump around like he wants to. He loved Cedric though, and enjoyed himself sitting in Cedrics lap while my man ate X3 It was so cute...mordy stretched himself across his lap, with his head against Cedric's chest...Cedric even helped me feed mordy and put the medicine on his stitches. Such a gentle, sweet man <3

Well, I'm tired from being up all night, so I'll make this short. My dada and my dog fell down the stairs last night, dad took him down the narrow front steps instead of taking him down the wide back stairs of our apartment, and mordy tripped. Dad tried to catch him and both went flying down the stairs. Dad landed on top of the dog, and I looked down and thought Mordy was dead. But Mordecae was lucky, and dad caught himself, at the cost of his wrist. Mordy's hip was dislocated, and dad broke his wrist and smacked his head on the wall. I spent all night at the vet with mordy while mum went to the hospital with dad, I didn't have a choice, had to take care of the dog even though I was worried sick for my dad. Mordy is home now, they re-located his hip, but he needs to stay down and rest, they are going to see if they need to do a hip replacement surgurey on him if he has any further damage. As it was they did have to operate to relocate the hip >__< His ex=rays showed no other internal damage. Dad's wrist has been set, and I'm going to go visit him now. My friend rebecca is here, to help with Mordecae so that mom and I can sleep. She's good with pets and dogs. She had to take me to pet co to get puppy food for mordy, sonce he has to eat soft stuff till he recovers. Mom told me to pick out some more Betta fish while I was there, she even bought them for me. Its so weird, mum and I have been getting along. Don't understand why, but somehow I'm glad of it.

See you guys later
