2nd post in a whole year! Well as you can see I don't visit all that often like I used to....I say I'll try change that, but you know...life and the outside world is a little more fun than the internet =P
A few things!
First off... did the Japan trip and it was AMAZING!! Started up north in Hokkaido snowboarding at Niseko, then headed to Sapporo, took the train to Aomori then the shinkansen to stop by the famous Fox Village in the middle of nowhere! (I'll have to post some cute photos we got!)
Then down to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and back to Tokyo before heading back home! 3 weeks of AWESOME we hope to go back again and see more places, stay longer in the ones we liked and I wanna buy more toys =P haha
Secondly, commissions! Got 4 WIPs at the moment, I opened up and the spots filled quickly...I am a one person army here, so I Can't do too much at once X"D SO far I have 2 and a half heads done, will get ALL the heads started and finished first so all my commissioners have something to see and keep being excited for ^__^
Also 3 months ago we adopted/rescued a cat! The poor girl was from a place where the owner needed to be institutionalised...a relative of the owner took the cat to the vet to be adopted or put down, my sister over heard and instantly rang me to see if I could take her... and I did =) She was a petrified kitty riddled with fleas and flea dirt. Over the course of a few days I was able to calm her down, de-flea her and even wash her. She got super friendly after that (to me) I think being flea free was the best feeling she's had in a while! She eventually warmed up and now she's a big sook, flop cat who loves to play. Still scared of new people but she is 1000% better =)
We named her Marceline =) A crazy hiss cat who turns into a big softie ;)
Other than all that... just working my regular job most days a week while working on commissions, fun fun!
Next con I'll be at will be Confurgence (previously known as Midfur) for my 10th year! Doing the thing, selling stuff at my table and on the spot commissions!
That'll be all for now!

Anyway, Japan sounds damned interesting. I have been several times to the United States and next year visiting north Europe, and I really wanna go to Japan too, maybe within the next 3 years. Though I am not sure if it would be such an incredibly extended trip as you did. How did you manage everything? I mean as in, realizing how things are working there, trying to get everything managed without knowing the language and stuff? I don't speak any Norwegian, which will make my next year's trip a little difficult, but Japan seems 450% more difficult than that. Especially when using trains and the like. I usually get lost with foreign transportation systems (not even fully knowing the one in my country, because I never use it).
We didn't know much japanese at all..practically nothing, just hello, goodbye, thankyou basic little stuff like that. MOST of Japan has english on their signs aswell as japanese, so all the train stations were easy to navigate and very well organised. Most japanese people also know a little english so it wasn't too hard to get around =) The people were very helpful and friendly too and always try to help.
Next time we go, we'll try learn some more of the language!
I'd love to go over to europe one day too! Sounds like it would be good fun also ^_^
