I've been away from NG for a while now, mainly because I felt like I needed an immaturity detox. That, and I've got a lot to do soon. I need to find me a scrap piece of wood so I can start making lino-cut Christmas card prints, locate some cheap malleable wire, plaster of paris, and cotton bandage for a sculpture gift, finish a thank-you animation and put it with a demo collection on DVD, find a job still, and plan me wedding.

I've also downloaded the ToonBoom Animate demo software and trying to learn the ropes. Bluh. If there's one thing I hate, it's feeling like a brainless noob as I try to learn something completely new by starting at the very beginning. I wanna know it all NOW!!!

As one becomes an adult, there are a lot of new experiences to be had, new responsibilities to take on, and unfortunately a lot of things that get the fun sucked out of them... winter being a major one. Snow angels, sledding, and making snowmen are replaced with shoveling the walk, scraping off the car, and trying not to slide off the road while driving through a snow/ice storm.
Thankfully, there are times where we adults can return to the season's delights and make snow angels, ski, snowboard, and in my case, make a snow sculpture.
