So, well, this is my out of office notice. I really don't want to do this but I think it's the best way...maybe...

I'm taking a bit of time off from the internet and the computer as well. Hopefully, when I get back on I'll be able to upload more (motivation has been sucking lately and both of my burners died-as I like to say (and please forgive the morbid jab) they both went together and they died in their sleep.))

As far as burners-it's just what they were. Both my Lightscribe DVD writer and DVD readable CD Writable have died. I will miss them...especially, since I have no replacement parts to salvage.

The Lightscribe was my love-even after it stopped ejecting first click. Lefty was a good writer despite the two to three times of pushing the eject button and the writing errors from time to time-he was three years old.

The CD writer actually made it to six years! That's a long time for me considering Righty was salvaged from a computer with a HUGE virus problem. Anyway, both will be missed.

Despite the drives suddenly missing their drivers they just ceased to work-no timely ejection, no reading, no Autoplay! *dies* I am a spoiled brat-if I have no autoplay I panic. I don't like to go into "My Computer" and double click on the respective icons.

So yeah, by now you're all tired of hearing about the drives-my point here, now is to let you know that I'm still watching your Deviations and I still have everyone listed as friends-cause all of you are cool (friended me back or not I love you all as people and artists and I have so much respect for every single one of you) but I'm not watching scraps anymore and journals may come next until I come back.

I love to read but as it is I get 100 plus journals a day and a lot of them are about commissions or conventions that I can not make or afford at this moment. That is important news and I would love to meet you all and would definitely straight from the heart I SWEAR and PROMISE commission you all but I don't have the time or money right now...as I am trying so hard right now not to kick my entire pc through the window or lobbing the thing at my neighbor's sons like a grenade.

You guys are my friends. I love and respect you all and I know you will all do fine no matter what comes your way. I will be visiting everyone's page when I return to this internet world on the ninth and I will go back to being a journal reader and scrap watcher! All of you are so talented in every way and all of are an inspiration to me!

I want to thank all of you, too, for taking the time to watch me, friend me, check out my page, or even read and/or respond to my comments-heck, even take the time to read my novel long journals and comments.

Take care everyone and be good I'll catch up with you!
