Ok, so like it'd been a year

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 18, 2008, 8:54 PM
Hola,
Yeah, yeah... I know I promise I wouldn't do the whole disappearing act on ya'll again, but I had a few, errr, unforeseen circumstances kinda, you know, take over my last 365 days.... So, by now I'm sure you;re all like." dude, it's ben a whole year, so you've gotta have some art to post." Well, I'll be honest with you guys, I did have tons of new art.... but now I don't... yeah.... So what happened to it al? Well it's like this. Last October (about a week after my birthday) I had all my art stuff including my laptop, backup discs, my Wacom intuos3 9x12 tablet, ALL my new software (which included the Adobe Master Collection.. I just got it and hadn't even got to installing it yet), and ALL of my sketchbooks and loose papers with me in my car because me and a few other classmates were all gonna meet up to work on a project together (and it was well hidden, too, so nobody would have even known it was there unless they looted around in my vehicle). I had left my car briefly in the middle of a very busy parking lot in the the middle of the day (so it was very light outside), and even with my doors locked and my alarm set and my things hidden, some idiot targeted my car, smashed out the front window, got into m car, looted through my stuff and found my hidden valuables, and stole everything from my change of clothes to my computer and all my sketchbooks. In less than a half hour, I lost two years worth of work - animation and sketches - basically my entire school portfolio. So for nearly three months I had no computer (Apple messed up my order twice and insurance would only cover the cost of my computer and very few of my other items... I had to spend every last penny to try to replace my wacom and my other valuables... which I still have yet to replace many items as I didn't have enough money). I finally got my computer and wacom, but didn't have any of the programs. It took me until nearly January to have my software replaced as I had to get the replacement through Adobe (because you're only allowed to buy 1 copy of student software) who originally promised me they would simply replac the software at no cost to me because I hadn't even used it yet. Well they backed out after three months of promising me a replacement, and only after I sent a formal complaint about Adobe to the Better Business Bureau was my software replaced. In the meantime, I've been having problems with my health again, and several other family members have been ill as well. so, yeah, no art..... Very sad I know, but what can you do?
( also, I no longer have a subscription to Dev, which makes it even more difficult to upload stuff... but I can't afford one currently... I don't even have money to pay for parking at school right now... student finances suck!... I'll be working a little more over the summer, so hopefully I'll be able to renew my subscription in a month or two) Anyways, once I get to feeling well again, hopefully I'll have something to upload... but it may take some time. Other than that, I guess life's going okay? lol
Again, so sorry for my absence... I'll try to be better in the future ;)

God Bless,
Chaya

Yeah I've been wondering that too! I bet she's busy doing things too cool for words that if she tells us we'd be so jealous we'll just shoot ourselves and give up making art...
