I'm... back?

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 18, 2013, 10:07 PM

Though I didn't really give notice to my disappearance in the first place. I think it's just something that happens. Sometimes I need a mental and physical break away from... everything! I've been exploring my spirituality more and more, and breaking away from electronic distractions and such really helps me focus on myself. I up and left the cities to go back out into nature the last few days... and it's something I need to do more often. So refreshing, it really raised my spirits!

My job has been keeping me pretty busy as well, especially since I close half the time (which gets me home around 2am, or 4am on Fridays & Saturday nights...) and last week all I wanted to do when I got home was sleep, and that's pretty much what I did. The last few days I had a friend visit me, so that's another something that's kept me preoccupied.

So right now I'm feeling like getting on track and doing some art work, catching up on the massive amount of messages I have and doing the things I owe people... Hopefully the feeling isn't fleeting! I really do need to find some balance between being over-productive and doing absolutely nothing.

And I definitely need to prioritize all the things I need to work on. (though I still can't promise I'll do them in order.. =__=")

Hello DA, Zakuro here! Call me that or my real name (Raye). ^^

I'm just another confused 20-something; suffering though that time of life where you don't really know what you want to do. I hated high school and couldn't wait to get out of there, went off to amazing college and had a wonderful time, then graduated.... and now what? I think the early 20s is the hardest time of a persons life; when you're not a kid anymore but you're not an adult, either. Gotta grow up, but I'd rather be a kid!
... So yeah, I've been to college and got a 2 year degree in Fine Arts; then recently transferred to an art school... but after a semester I ended up hating it, so I ended my time there and... that's where I am now! I'm working to save up money so I can find ways to enjoy life, rather than suffering on through something I don't enjoy. Personal happiness is what I want most, I suppose, and I'm a very in-the-now kind of person. We've got the past and the present; the future is just an idea and I don't particularly fancy the abstract.

Lol, random crap about me?
~ Winter is my favorite season~
~ I'm obsessed with the zodiac. The first thing I want to know about a person when I meet them is what their sign is... though I do love guessing. :3
~ I've lived in 3 different states in the last three years! (MO, CO, MN)
~ I love nature and the outdoors... so much! (living in a city is driving me crazy)
~ Simple that make my heart go boom = starry skies, sunsets, and fireflies...
~ Suffer terribly from (undiagnosed) ADD. I can't focus on one thing at a time, ever. ==
~ I consider myself a bit of a movie buff... I really love suspenseful psychological films... and I do quite fancy gorror.
~ Music = <333
~ I'm basically a vampire.

Also, I'm a photographer -->

_{But I've been terribly uninspired since I've lived in the city, because nature is my muse... so that account is rather inactive right now. ):}

Anyway! I really want to make more friends here on DA... though I'm kind of shy, I would be super happy to converse with you if you dropped a comment; even if it just said hi! X3

If you'd like to commission me, please send me a note with the details of what you'd like, including a ref and a description of what you'd like. Also, please tell me a little about the character. ^^ I like to know who I'm drawing.
For the time being, there are only a few options available and all work will be done traditionally. If you'd like something else, please send me a note and we can discuss prices and such.

So I tried to send you a note but it won't let me some reason. (sorry if you got the note and this, like seven times)

But can I set the feedback deadline for 20th May? Because I now need it asap but I appreciate you have a life and other things to do >.<

*Zakuro-Kona May 1, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I think it's been doing that to a few people......

May 20th? Okay! A deadline is good; it gives a limit to my procrastination... ;; I will try and get it to you as soon as I can!
