-- In the event that you don't make it any further than this point, This post includes a new account: ---> Naikios


First and foremost, I'm sure everyone noticed THAT absence. Again.  The past year and a half has been a strange one, with every twist and turn imaginable. The first year was probably one of the worst I've dealt with so far, but the past six months have been a rebuilding process.  Despite many times where I considered just jumping back into my old tendencies, I've pushed myself to be different, and changed a lot.

I like to think I still have all of my happier/good traits, but I've also worked out my worst ones.  Through the swap, I'm finally completely resettled in a supportive household with the people I was with at 19, before I left for the Marine Corps and went a little loopy.  My boyfriend, our roommate and I have begun to push each other to actually chase our artistic endeavors.  Daniel, my boyfriend, has been my best friend for 15 years... and a lot of putting off on my end. The writer of our trio.  Luke has become a big brother to me, our extremely talented musician and also the supplier of random new art mediums to stump me... (Such as oil paints. Gr....)  These two are the first to jump straight into my weird ass world with me, and you can see fun characters for them on the new account.

I'm 27 now, I've come to terms with my stability. I've realized that I don't need everything, I just want to be happy. Hell, maybe I'll end up with a family here in a few years.

The general point of this Journal is to say thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through all of this, apologize to anyone who was affected by the last ten years, and ask anyone interested to join me in my new age.  It's become high time for me start fresh, declutter my life and everything around me and look only on to the positive future. 

That being said, Xappho is no more.  Xappho was a young, naive and immature me.   Therefore, I'd like to introduce my new account:   :iconnaikios:

For the most part, this account is only going to be from now to the future. I don't want to be burdened by any of my old things... Though I'm still deciding on possibly pulling some of my favorites into an 'Old Collection' Folder on there.

(((( I still owe things to a few of you!! Shoot me a note under Naikios !! <3 <3 <3 <3 ))))

Think that just about sums it up.  I want Art that's not mine, and I've gotten quick enough that I'm all over some Art trades to do it, in addition to actually commissioning other artists. :)

As much as I'd like to stick to art and have nothing commissiony looking at the moment, I'm also willing to trade -my- art for digos. Because. They're... fun. e.e  Xapphness loves Portrait Spaces. And things that flutter. Can't help myself. <3

Anyway. Anyone who is interested in the above scenarios, shoot me a note!

K. Just got the half-assed journal entry out of the way.  Then dragged myself through 2,763 comments, journals, uploads, notes, etc.

Anyone that I owe refunds to: Had to create a new paypal account for some damn reason... so I'm waiting on that to confirm my bank account (2-3 days it claims), then I'll take care of all that. :) <33

Other Stuff!

:bulletred:  Still going to sell the Mehndi-face. Might do some extra art of her first for practice before doing so. But as I'm not going to use her, I'm not trying to get some great sum of money out of her. ^^

:bulletorange: COMMISSIONS!  I'm not doing any of my own right now... ALTHOUGH, if anyone DOES want art from me, I'm in the mood to practice on different characters WITHOUT having all the pressure. So. If you want my art, let me know. Pitch me a character, and I'll probably do it. ((Doesn't guarantee that I will. Hence the no commissions.))

Hooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr...

I want to commission some peoples. Dunno who, I haven't been around. If anyone has any suggestions... I really really want to commission some people for Triumph and Keziah art.

:bulletyellow:  For whatever reason, I feel it's only fair to inform everyone that in the end... our internet issue was something wrong with the actual wires outside of the house. I only say this to relinquish any accusations my poor puppy Tikka got. Mostly from me.


Hm. What else. I dunno what else. Art trades? Wouldn't mind some of those. Blah blah.



Blah.  Something. Gonna go do some junk.

Getting my life straight clearly took forever this time. Lots of junk involved that I don't think needs to really be touched on. Only really important things left are the fact that our internet finally works properly again, annnnnddd I'm single again. Um. And my new puppy is adorable and keeps me at home doing more productive things. Like honing skills and crafts. Le sigh.  Back to all the good stuff. And I apologize for the artspam. The past two days have been stacking up.

... Our internet is in fact NOT fixed. -_-   It seems that our modem is old, and needs to be replaced, hence it's being faulty.  Usually it's off for like 12 hours of each day, so you have to pick the right 12 hours to want to use it. This time around, it worked for two days straight, and then .... died for like four. Maybe five. I can't even remember. All I know is that my entire household has been losing their minds.   We've officially watched all 8 billion movies that we own.  I've read three books. We've gone through a good deal more booze than usual. And at one point moved all five TVs that are in our house into one room and had a giant video-game off.

Sad how necessary the internet is these days. And since we thrive on hulu and netflix, even our tv time has been chopped in to millions of pieces.

K. Well. Got lots of art to work on. Just doing the ol' headsup of sorts.
