Well, I guess it has been 8 years now since I posted a journal, and 5 years since I uploaded anything. I'm still alive. I'm not sure what I will be doing with this account going forward, but I think I will start uploading artwork again. I've missed DeviantArt, and having a place to share the things I make. I miss the people I used to know on here too, but I have low hopes on that side. In the past, I spent most of my time in the paper and digital art realms. These days I still draw and paint traditionally and digitally. In the realm of art I also work in metal, fiber, wood, composites, and with electronics.


As for the rest of my life, it is a messy road. I am the better part of my way through a Mechanical Engineering bachelors, with a degree in precision machining. Compared to my last update here, I have my own home and a whole room in it for projects.


Hello new friends. Hello old friends, if you are here. Let's make art.

I don't really use this account anymore. I am drawing, painting, and making more than I ever have before, but I will not be posting any of it here.

I do not want to post what my new account is publicly, but if you would like to see my newer work feel free to send me a note here asking for a link to my account. Be warned that it may take me a while to get back to you.

Life is going very well for me, and I am happy. I am accomplishing my goals, and spending time doing what I love. I have taken up new hobbies, and I have learned a lot.

I have my own reasons for not using this account. Maybe I'll come back to it one day. Maybe not. I'm not worried about it. It is time for me to live for myself, without fear or shame as chains around me. I'm not going to argue, and I won't start getting all dramatic, I am just going to be me for once.

See you all around ^__^

I made a tumblr account. rahona.tumblr.com/

I mostly made it because I wanted to be able to reply once in a while to some of the awesome things I see people post over there.

There is something I didn't realize though. It is mildly addictive. As a result, that blog is more active. However the vast majority of stuff that will be up there is not mine. So I guess I am actually just leeching off of other people right now? IDEK. I plan to put original content up there eventually.

Follow me at your own risk. I reserve the right to be a total nerd or fan-person, and to be able to break any expectations I set for that blog when I feel like it :P Enjoy, and I hope some of you will decide to follow me.

I am continuing to exist on DevArt at low levels of activity.

I started complaining to myself about how people I really like haven't updated in a while, then I realized what a hypocrite was being.

For anyone out there who is wondering; I am alive, and I do still come by DA regularly to check out what is going on.

I haven't really been drawing or writing anything that I am happy enough with to upload. Most of it is very scribbly or stuff for class. Just a lot going on right now. I'm not sure when I will have something I am happy enough with to upload.

I'm looking at getting a job  and I am planning on taking writing 101 and a physics class over the summer. I'll be busy, but I hope that it will be worth it.

I'm also in the process of looking for a used car. Initially I was hoping to get a shiny new awesome car. Since then I've figured out what is more reasonable for me to actually get. My aim right now is to find something used for under $5000 that gets more than 25 miles per gallon that doesn't look completely horrible and can play music. I've found a couple of promising options, but this and other mounting costs of living are the reasons I will be getting a job.

So far it looks like my job a combination of working in a book and game store and creating and modifying websites. It isn't decided yet if that will be my job, and the pay isn't very good, so I am still looking. Does anyone have companies or jobs they would recommend working for?

Well, I survived a semester of college. I am still alive. I passed four of five classes, made a small handful or two of school-friends, and learned a lot about living on my own. However, despite this and the fact that I like MSU, I am taking next semester off and I do not know if I will eventually return to that university or if I will go instate to the University of Washington.

I need a bit of time to get a more solid idea of what I want to do in the future, and I need to find a stronger feeling of motivation to keep me going. I'm working on getting my act together to go to a community college for this semester, where at least I'll be able to keep up with the calculus and physics that I know I will need.

I may be working on a couple of my stories, but writing on them is on hold for a bit. I want to draw, I might just put up doodles or I might finish something. I'd like to make more jewelry, but IDK when or what yet. I need to get my head on straight again.

I feel like I failed college because I stopped so soon. It makes me feel depressed, which really sucks because it makes it harder to do anything about it.

In other news, I might start updating my Live Journal with interesting to semi-interesting things soonish. I'm still figuring out what I am going to do in the longer run, but I guess we'll see.

Hope the world is alright out there
