CREDIT and NOTIFY me of each use. This shouldn't surprise anyone when I say I've been sick. And it shouldn't surprise anyone when I say I've been busy.
Both of those would kindof be understatements, but that's not important. What is important is this: I'm on dA probably two times a month to answer messages. I have absolutely ZERO time to do any photography that ISN'T a paid job or artwork or any kind of self expression. It's really aggravating. Two years ago I was on this website practically everyday, several TIMES a day, answering notes, comments, looking at work and being a valuable member of the community. I've made good friends here, but I'm no longer valuable in this community.
Not only do I have the audacity to stand up for myself, but I'm also irresponsible in my ability to get back to people. I tried to make my rules as loose as possible so people could still do what they want without me being around to have to contact. Every time I login, there's another tragedy that needs to be addressed. Someone needs something. They always need something, and I don't get paid to sit at my computer and give it to them. Or stop what I'm doing right away and pump out requests that will never be used. My giving spirit is dead. Killed. Caput.
On April 26th, I'm flying to Edinburgh for the Beltane Fire Festival and visiting TheArcher777 and chances are I won't take my laptop unless I have space for it. I'm going to Dublin on the 1st of May, then heading home to Maryland. Maybe vacation will help liven me up a bit and make me less feisty, but I doubt it. I'm a bitch. My time right now doesn't belong to me. It belongs to my employer(s), my Grove, and my family. I don't get days off.
So. If during my absence you need me for some burning OH EM GEE I need this RIGHTFUCKINGNOW, hit me with an e-mail please. Or if you just want to talk or something. It's easier to find me there and on facebook than it is here. Everytime I login here I'm reminded of what a moron I am. The email is lindowyn at gmail dot com.
Additionally, if there are those of you that KNOW you're going to need passwords in the future, let me know. Next journal will be a feature for SizzlingHotStock's contest winners. That said, I have an awful lot of passwordless stock AND also have an unrestricted stock folder now. Check it out if you want.
To all of my friends, I miss you guys and I hope you're doing well.
