Hello everyone! I just realized it's been almost a week since I got out of classes and I still haven't come around to update this thing 
.
I'm slowly getting more and more used to this job and managing my times so I actually have good news this time: Recently I've been playing less and writing much more than I used to. In fact, I could spend the whole day writing (Or at least my free time), if it wasn't for one thing:
Christmas season!!!
Seriously, at first it didn't really get to me that much (Other than the "Oh great, now I have to go get everyone presents -.-" kind of way) but recently it's been keeping me busy not only with presents but also lots of Christmas parties with coworkers, fellow students, old friends and... You know, for a change they may take away my days off and it may not be that much I get to spend with friends and family but it somehow now feels more special. It really makes no sense but hey, it's a good feeling
.
So, Happy Holidays everyone reading this!
...
Honestly not that much to say besides that. Hopefully I will get a story done over the next few days. How are things over your end?

Do I get a Cheat Year?
Yes, I'm aware I'm a month late this year, but better late than never, right? n.n' Some people may know this, but the actual important date for me that marks the start of the year is January 6th. Yes, the precise date has gotten some bad rep over the years due to certain events, but hey it was an important milestone for me long before those even happened: It is the date I decided to complete and post my first story online here on DeviantArt. This year, that makes 14 years to the date, or since the date considering that's already in the past as well. While my activity in this site has reduced drastically since then, it was my introduction to the intersection between online spaces and the creative community. It's been a long way since then: I made quite a few friends, a few friendly rivals that pushed me to hone my craft and flex the creative muscles I didn't even know I had and in general helped a young nerdy kid to build some confidence to try other creative endeavors (Music
And Another Year Starts
OK, I've come to accept I'm no longer very active here, but at the very least this yearly Journal entry is very important to me no matter how busy I get. And the reason January 6th is important to me has come to mean more and more over the course of 13 years: Today marks the anniversary of the day that I first posted my first story online. Things change a lot in that time frame, but one thing that I can say for certain is that it changed my life to where I am today, and opened up to the creative works of so many people. To think how far I've come from a nerdy kid that just wanted to write some niche Pokemon fanfiction to... A nerdy man that wants to write even more niche "Property-Inspired Fantasy Prose" (AKA: Fanfiction but fancier undertone), but now slightly more adjusted to interacting with other creative minds. I met some of my art idols, made friends, made enemies, made rivals (Friendly ones, the good kind), somehow made a few fans, and have been implicitly encouraged to see
Give it to one More Year
Oh wow, I'm so good at tradition that even without intending to I kept "Once-per-year" journal :D (This needs to stop >.>). For the people who are still reading this (When they could be doing something so much better with their time but I still appreciate), while New Year's day has never really mattered that much to me (Except for being the excuse for a friend of mine to throw a really cool once-a-year party), January 6 has come to become a really important date every year. While not the day I began to write, it marks the day I posted my first story here on DeviantArt. And boy, have things gone to unexpected places ever since. While it wouldn't seem like a big deal to write Pokemon Fanfiction, it also gave a really nerdy and shy boy a reason to interact with creative people online. I've met some of my "Idols", made friends, friendly rivals, met a few trolls, and bit by bit been pushed to try out things that I wouldn't have tried otherwise and helped me become slightly-less-worse
Another Year has Gone By
Here's to the traditional one and only yearly Journal update here with a promise to update more often (That I never get to fulfill for one reason or another)! :D For those who know me (Who I question their sanity why yet appreciate very greatly, keep it up guys =P) while I have learned to like New Year's Day it doesn't really seems that important to me (Other than being the excuse for some very awesome New Year's parties that this one friend throws every year :D). January 6th, on the other hand? That is a very important date and the real start of the year for me. That is because it marks the anniversary of the first time I submitted a story here on DeviantArt. Granted, I only do fanfiction but that doesn't mean fanworks aren't any good, and that has always been clear since a young Axel got "curious about what the Pokemaniacs were up to nowadays" and was met with very intimidatingly good fanart and fanfiction good enough to make me curious and eventually interested and inspired in
