I think I have to agree with that there. My year went fairly well up to around mid-July, before everything simply came back to jump at me.<br><br>I am going to spare most people the details because things are finally starting to look up again, and I'd rather not dwell on last fall.

Well, let's see...<br><br>I discovered deviantART, started my own site there and got hooked on several awesome artists. (The famous Bigbluefox is on the list of people watching me, which I think is pretty cool.)<br><br>I spent another summer working as an interior painter at my old school. As manual labor jobs go, it wasn't that crappy, pay aside. I got to watch, step by step, the new addition get built (on the inside at least).<br><br>I finally signed up for Second Life and discovered that none of the computers at the school that I can install it on can run it, or run it very well at least.<br><br>Our cat died, and my parents got a new one before I realized there's a chance I'm allergic to them now. (<i>Something</i> is wreaking havoc on my sinuses whenever I go home.)<br><br>My online comic finally got itself a permanent location at podunku.net, and stands to be entered in a national contest. (Given that David Simpson entered Ozy and Millie in the same contest and only took fourth place, I'm not holding out much hope.)<br><br>After being told Dad would give me driving lessons, finally, next summer if I get a 3.8 or higher on my report card this semester, I managed to pull it off.<br><br>And (although I hadn't planned on saying this for fear of sounding showoffy), only months after first envying my fellow DA artists' graphics tablets, I casually requested one for Christmas and got it! I'm still very excited about that, and is enough to make me hope that 2006 will be a very good year as far as my status as a furry artist.
