Let's see, how long did this last? Almost four years? I'd say that my OMG LEAVING DA!!1!11 thing lasted quite a bit longer than a lot of people who OMG LEFT DA!!11!111!!, and would've gone on unto eternity if I hadn't needed a place to park my non-serious things like memes and dorky fan art and contingent requests for commissions. Until I get my portfolio website up--which will hopefully be soon, but I've been saying that for months, hence my returning here--I'll post little doodles or whatever I get around to doing. (That is, when I'm not ungodly busy doing college homework. Anyone who says that graphic design is easy will get several pounds worth of textbooks crammed into their mouth. Via cannon. :D)

I still think the community, mods, and everything here is basically crap--the only thing that's really changed is that I grew up and realized damn near every site in the wide and long expanse of the Intertubes has a crappy community and crappy mods and is, like most other series of tubes, filled with crap in general. There a few exceptional sites, of course, but those are rare shining gems in the muck heap and I don't even belong to half of 'em. (There are also exceptional people in crap communities, but again, they're rare shining gems and I'm certainly not one of them.)

So, here we are again. I'm older, arguably more mature, definitely more sarcastic, and much less infatuated with anime series about triangle-eyed boys who are way too into card games and more infatuated with anime series about triangle-haired boys who are way too stupid to be ninja. (Yes, I'm a Narutard! You may point and laugh. I will return the gesture with 33% interest.) I have given up my stubborn, "Harrumph! I'm not coming back until DA stops being stupid!"-crying, fiery-eyed idealism for a slightly more realistic outlook. (i.e., "It's not going to get better around here, everywhere is else just as bad and only half as big, and I need a place to post doodles of a Katamari Damacy/Silent Hill crossover and ask people to give me IRL-moniez for a drawing of their sparkledog!")

But the best part about this 3.75-year-long personal prohibition? It's been so long that nobody cares. The attention span of the Internet is about 5 seconds, and we exceeded that approximately 116, 812, 800 seconds ago. (...Give or take a few hundred.) Thus, I can return without much worry that someone will *GASP* call me out on the Internet OH NOEZ.

And if there's a lesson I've learned from all this, it's that cynicism is a wonderful thing. :D

TL;DR, I'M BACK Y'ALL~
