Oh man, okay, I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off lately, trying to get ready to move (twice; once from the Boston area to my hometown temporarily, and then to Vermont a few weeks later).  Quitting my job, figuring out my tight, tight finances, getting school supplies, trying to fit in art ... it's a little intense.

It hit me today that I am probably never catching up on the 300+ deviations in my watchlist.  It just isn't happening.  During my little mini-vacation when I'm home with my parents in August, I'm hoping to go through, leave a few comments here and there, and clean it out, but just ... the thoroughness I was hoping for is not happening.

I'm not leaving; this place is useful and nice and I like it a lot!  But imagining that I'm ever going to come back and use it frequently as a social space is probably pretty foolish, particularly if I keep such a huge watchlist around.  So with that in mind, I'm starting to pare it down quite a bit.  My tastes have changed, some of us have grown apart or vanished ... if I'm going to stay here and interact at all, it needs to be more manageable.

And no more groups.  There's no way I can handle all those art dumps.

If you've been unwatched, I just want you to know I'm regretful for having to do it.  I think your art's awesome; that's why I was following it in the first place!  And I wish you all the best.  I might stop by now and again, but I feel like an asshole for watching and then ignoring you - like a promise I'm not keeping.  Take care of yourself. <3

I will be around now and then.  But in the future, you're much more likely to find me over at my blog, which I'm going to update more frequently once I'm in school (with all the new stuff I'll be producing, and the new stuff about comics I'll be learning)!

See you kids in August.
