Graduating! + Closing Skype to the Public + Thank You!
9 years ago
As of the time of me writing this, yesterday was the finals for my last quarter and today I am attending my graduation ceremony. I will be receiving my diploma for an AAS in Information Systems (computer science basically). At 25 though I do not have the time, money, or interest to continue my education further at this point - maybe in the future, but for now I will be looking for my first job. I won't go into details, but I've got some dreams to follow so wish me luck!
As I've mentioned in previous journals, because of this I will be losing my spare cash as I'm 'graduating to the adult world'. When I find a job I will be saving up so I can move out and become independent. Once everything settles I will (hopefully) be able to afford commissions again. But for the time being my uploads are going become very sparse - I have a few commissions left in the works, but it is unlikely I will pick up new ones for a while.
Again, this doesn't mean I'm leaving - I'm just going to be effectively poor(er) for a while.
I also want to announce that I'm closing my Skype contact to the public, meaning that I will only accept add/friend requests in special cases. Right now my Skype has me listed for 160 contacts. The fact is I'm an introverted person - I'm not really interested in talking all day with people (in fact I hate small talk) and large social situations makes my anxiety go crazy. I'm really flattered people want to approach me, but I just can't handle it. I've already had a few people get very upset over the way I've treated them due to my social anxiety, and while I feel bad over it it is probably for the best. I just can't commit to people that want to 'be internet friends' by chatting all the time. I can't do that, I'm really sorry.
Now I won't be removing people from my contact list (maybe later), but I hope people understand why I don't talk to them on a frequent basis. It's not that I don't like people, it's that I'm just somebody that needs a lot of alone time and prefers having only a small number of close friends. Getting bombarded with messages just makes me feel anxious, and when new people add me they find I almost never talk to them anyway, so I've probably disappointed a lot of people trying to be friends with me.
I hope people understand. If you want to learn more about who I am as a person and why I'm the way I am, I suggest looking up the INTP personality type. It describes me perfectly.
Finally, I just want to thank everyone so much for the support I've been given over the past year and a half since I began commissioning artwork! It makes me very happy that so many people enjoy my character and the kind of work I commission of her. I plan to get a lot more in the future, funds allowing, along with branching out with new stuff as well. I will likely make a presence on other furry websites later, but I don't plan on leaving FA anytime soon. I might, however, juggle two accounts - one for tame stuff and one for extreme stuff. I do know some of the things I have uploaded are pretty extreme and niche, even by adult furry standards.
I hope everyone has an awesome summer! <3

abso-fucking-lutely this.
It's why I literally haven't even installed Skype on my new laptop. I just can't even. And I feel way bad about it, but I just can't deal with all the attention being demanded of me.
