Quiet, quiet, quiet Max.

I joined honor's art class to make my name (more) known to the school.

Had no idea that I'd be writing two papers a week and doing a (quality [shitty]) major art piece about as often... On top of all my other homework. It's been like this since day one, and I hate it, but at least I'm becoming a force to be reckoned with, finally. Time's tight. I can't even draw for myself anymore. I've been periodically peering in here, though, in search of character reference to all those I owe art to. It'll all come at once (I'm more or less half done with that stuff as of this typing), along with a flood of other things, once I have the integrity. I'll make sure to leave some nice comments, too. For now, though, this cycle of maddening fartsy artsy research and five-hours of sleep a night must continue.

In other news, I recently got a dog tag. It says, "HARD PUNCH, LIGHT KICK, BACK, LIGHT PUNCH, LIGHT PUNCH". Makes me feel like a man.

Excuse me.

School starts in about twenty days. I still haven't finished the projects required for IB art. Metal Slug has taken over my free time now. An epic road trip is coming up this weekend. In other words, I haven't really gotten anything done here all summer, and I won't be able to. To all you folks that drew Slimecat those months back, I'm totally sorry for the epic lateness on my end of the bargain, but it WILL come. I'm not an asshole that blows off that kinda thing.

After school starts (in other words, when my sleeping habits and daily agendas have been more or less corrected) I'll get back into DA again. See you then.

June's over.

Whether or not this means I'll be going through the millions of messages I have yet to check on DeviantArt I don't yet know.

Summer's cool like that.

I'm gonna go fish some more.

School let out two days ago, and, already, I've made the most of it. I've started and finished Armored Core 2: Another Age (finally), fucked up my sleeping habits irreparably, drawn a woman in a diaper, seen the Cod of War, tormented the local wildlife with ethnic slurs, acquired a taste for nib pens, and written a thirty second ballad about capybaras.

... Well, it's better than just sitting there and watching TV, like every other American does. Guy's gotta keep himself busy.

And now that school's out, I have hardly any excuse not to finish up all those things I owe you for the Slimecat Legion...

BUT OH, SHIT! A FISHING TRIP IS IMMINENT! HAHAH, SUCKERS!

From Friday to Monday. Going back to Tennessee for more of those big-ass catfish. This may become a habit. In the meantime, I still have assloads of things here to comment on, and a handful of doodles I've yet to scan. Let's make the most of this day or so.

Just a tangent update to say I haven't given up on anything or anyone. School has been, for the last few weeks, and will be for the remaining two weeks, keeping me really busy. For now I'll be focusing strictly on schoolwork... Won't stand for anything below a B on my card.

I'll be back by the beginning of June, at the latest.... To check these 300-odd deviations you nice folk have been cranking out.

Max out.
