yeah i just decided to log in to see what all the fuss is about and ....yuck. XD;; haha i don't like the new dA at allllll~ the only good thing seems to be the thumbnail previews to the artwork~ i do like that. but you know then again i don't because wasn't part of the fun in dA was to click on someone's artwork and have it pop up and totally surprise you? i mean idk, maybe that was just me but like now if i want to do someone a bday gift or something, they'll see it in the thumbnail first T.T

i understand the need for change, sites need to update. but i think there comes a time when there is too much...like a lot of the stuff they added is pointless. i wish they would let you customize your own dA page instead...that would have been better. and we're supposed to be "artists" so why not let us really express our artistic individualities further? haha at least let ppl choose their own color scheme or something!!

well these are just my opinions though LOL. XDDD;;; i'm sure everyone is going to be like "WAT. U DON'T LIEK IT?" D: D: D:

and it looks now that going through messages is going to take even LONGER DX so yeah i think this really does it for me. i'm not saying i'm gonna leave DA permanently but at this point it's pointless and impossible for me to keep up with all the comments and stuff. OAO;; so for now, i'll be basically dead on DA. i might still submit my drawings but other than that, i won't be active on here. who knows? i might come back again but for now, especially since i'm really busy for preparing for college and things, i'm really not gonna be on.

that doesn't mean i won't be on the internet at all though. i'll def be on lj~ feel free to add me. just tell me who you are and i'll add you ^^ [link]

i'm also on MSN a lot 8D;; if you want that, comment below with your MSN and i'll add you~ ^^ i'll be checking DA one last time for messages in response to this journal entry.

well that's about it~ i do have one last thing to say: everyone i've met on here has been just...awesome. haha i'm getting upset a little now....srsly. it's been exactly one year and one day since i joined DA and it's kinda weird to think that i'm going on a hiatus now. anyways, i just want to thank you all for being....there you know? like, your artwork has truly inspired me~ i would have never have started portraits had it not been for all the amazing artwork i've seen on here. and DA has some of the nicest ppl on the internet, i've made some really good friends on here, met a lot of interesting ppl. and all in one year! *o* anyways, i guess what i'm trying to say is goodbye but....oh gawd it's too hard for me. well i know one day i'll be back for good. until then, thank you for your comments, faves, watches, critiques....thank you all for everything.
