And the hermit emerges...
Some of you that used to be on my personal LJ account *not this one* know of what happened last September, when a protected (friends only, I only had about 15 people friended) entry was emailed anonymously to my husband. You're also aware of the pall of suspicion and paranoia this put on my internet forays. I've always been wary of too much personal information on the net, and having been burned, all I can say is that a journal will stay private, for the above reasons. For the record, it wasn't any of my LJ friends, but the exhusband of a dear friend who hacked into her account (Ro you asshole if you read thsi rot in -hell-). I don't hold grudges, but for him, I'll make an exception.

That being said, I know I've been a big hermit -- I'd promised a few of you to put up a THailand journal with proper pictures, tell you more about my life here in Japan. My personal account will be reinstated, if you knew it to begin with, in the next day or so, and slowly I'll start putting things up. I figure since I have only six months left in this amazing country, I may as well chronicle them properly!

On another note - I thank the people I have met through my comic or any of my random galleries. Please do not email me asking to be reinstated in this LJ friend's list. If you've been taken off its simply because I check it from work, and reading post after post of 200 anime quizzes (this is directed to the ones that don't bother to LJ cut) is more than I can handle AND gets me in trouble at work. This is meant to be as a vehicle to keep you updated on the progress of the webcomics or other artistic endeavours, auctions, etc.

Don't email me asking me for my AIM. On the extremely rare ocassions that I am on my old one, please take the hint that if I say "Sorry, busy at work -working-" it means I don't have time to chat with you. Not about art ccs, the weather, random going ons. If by some chance you're one of the people that put me on their AIM list and forgets who I am only to ping me with a "WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU ON MY BUDDY LIST" I will ignore your ass. I am so tired of random Aim'ings... how the hell would I know why I am in your list???

Not a rant, no, and I'm not. .particularly pissed off. Just been... a long first week of the year, yeah. So! Private LJ will be active in while you guys. Thanks for hanging in there.
