My last posting here was like 9 years ago, I think. I don't know. Everything has changed. Me, my life, this site, the whole damn world. While I can't promise I'll be around often, or even at all, I'm here now having a poke around. Where have I been? A long time ago I got *really* depressed and started to lose interest in art. And then there were some fractures in the corner of the community where I hung out that made me not want to be here for a while. Eventually I lost interest in the community here, and life got busy, and my interests changed. Then life got interesting, and shifted a lot. Everything changed. What's new with me? Literally everything. My children are, for the most part, grown. The "baby" is almost 16 now. Elderspawn has a baby of her own (yes, that makes me a grandma). I have a different partner than I had for most of my time here. That's a story for another time, but suffice it to say I've found my Person and I'm happier than I think I've ever been. I'm content in
