Good evening, children. I thought I'd grace you with my presence, absent as I have been for quite a while.

So. School kept me busy. That's the best excuse I can present you with as to why Crows is still the only thing up here. That, my scanner's a piece of crap, and my life has become rather... fuller.

Yes, children. I have a boyfriend.

No, the apocalypse is not coming.

But that's my life in a nutshell for the past couple of weeks. It's been school and boyfriend, more school, still more school, some walking, boyfriend, and school. Finals kind of consumed me for awhile there, and I still haven't fully recovered from all the sleep I lost over the past weekend. Lots of late nights plus work plus social stuff plus my sorry attempt at staying in shape. And there was a sewing machine involved in there somewhere.

There is, however, a silver lining, however slight it may be. There's an awful lot of birthdays around this time, and a lot of them involve me having to do artsy stuff. Meaning there will be something more than Crows up by the end of this month. I swear. Really. And it'll be good. In color. Maybe.

I'm totally making promises I can't keep at this point.

In other news, summer is looking out to be absolutely fabulous. Camp for a month (oh YEAH) plus Shakespeare Festival with one of my bestest buddies ever, and then there's all the time where I can just be LAZY. Which I'm going to do all the time, except that I really want to build a gazebo in the backyard, so lazy may have to be postponed. But the gazebo will be fantastical. And then the rest of summer is just... swimming and picnics and hiking and sleeping in and messing around on the guitar and going to the theater and movies and staying out late and all that good stuff. I'm excited.

Buona sera, bambini.
