Really. I haven't put up a journal in 4 months? As for my watchers, and other people I have/had good contact with: yes, you hereby have been granted permission to punch me in the face, with all your force.
Even though it might have been quite obvious, I feel I should have formally let you guys know I have as good as left dA... The only activity I AM still showing is answering group-messages (and even that rarely), periodically faving some works, and I still follow some comics on here. It's not very likely I'll be uploading anything anytime soon. I haven't checked on my watch messages for months; please don't take this as an offense, I watch you guys for a reason, but I simply can't seem to care to check my inbox anymore. This unfortunately counts for replies as well. I haven't deleted those though. I still intend to answer them, however I am not sure when that will happen. I'm experiencing weird and somewhat turbulent times: I started with my study History last year, but it turns out to be very different than the impressions and expectations I had of it. As I really dislike it, and as it makes me rather unhappy, I am quitting it this month, which means I'll have to look for an other study to follow next year. It also means I'm going to have to work fulltime, so I'm trying to make that possible with my current job, and otherwise I'll have to find a new one. And of course there's some administrational financial bullshit I have to settle when I quit.
Anyway, I'll be busy. I will probably remain VERY inactive for the next months. You probably won't find me here, however you can still send me a note if you want my attention; I'll check those regularly. Also, you can reach me on either Facebook (www.facebook.com/BansheeHowl) or Skype (search for bansh33howl, I live in the Netherlands)

Sooo, yeah, I do now have a facebook. Don't have a clue on how it works, don't have a clue on how I'm going to use it, but for those who want to have contact more efficiently, that is probably the best way to communicate :I It's here: www.facebook.com/daan.gunneman

Also, I'm back from holidays, so I will found teh group soon.
Oh right, I now have a Canon EOS 1100D! I'll post some photos sometime soon I guess, they're much better quality than my others (for instance, now you will NOT be able to count the pixels on my photos~)

So obviously my previous planning 'bout my activity here was a huge failure. I've only managed to answer 2/3 of teh feedback messages, and am still daily deleting all other messages. Except group stuff. Been doing that shit actively again~
ANYWAY. I won't be going to make any promises related to messages and activity and shit again, I'll just answer stuff when I feel like it. Also, I'll be going to university next September, so I don't know how active I'll be once the year begins. In addition to that, I'll be on holidays from August the 13th 'till August the 20th, and won't have internet during that period. So yeah, I'm busy~

Meanwhile, I will be founding a new group this week! It's going to be called "Dutchfur", and it's going to be a group where Dutch and Flemish (you know, the awesome guys from Belgium C: ) speaking furries can come together, and could provide the base for a real Dutch-speaking furry community. Of course it's going to be about art as well, made by and for Dutch/Flemish furries.
I'll need admins for that group as well, so if you're Dutch/Flemish in any way, and would like to be an admin, just leave a comment here! C:

Oh by the way, start reading this comic right away: Bittersweet Candy Bowl www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c…
It's freakin awesome and has made me laugh many times (in fact, my family now thinks I'm a creep for laughing randomly~) though it also has some sadcrystuffbits~ ;n;
READ IT. NOW. OR I'LL STALK YOU UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETELY READ IT. >8U

FINALLY.
DEM HOLIDAYS Which means I'm finally done with those stupid finals
Which, in turn, means that I can also finally be more active on dA!
First of all, I'm going to answer all feedback messages in my inbox  (of which some are dated back to the beginning of February... I'm sorry Svenrin ;A; )
I'm also planning on (finally) holding a contest in my group. The exact details will come later as I still have to do some consultations with the admins.
I'll also be submitting some new stuff including 3 ref. sheets (which I had originally planned doing last August )
Last but not least, I'm going to try to keep up with the rest of my messages (watch-stuff and shit) ;u;

Oh well, I just hope I didn't fail my finals too hard ;u;

This week and next week I will have exams everyday, if you were wondering why I'm so damned inactive. I'll have a short period of holidays right after them though, so I'll try to be as active as last summer then (even though I know that's probably not going to happen... :c )!
Also, if you're against the plans of SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, could you sign this petition? www.change.org/petitions/obama…
