I know we already have an area for new introductions, but I thought it would be sort of cool to have a thread here in the Lounge where we could all just kind of chat. How is life? What's new? Anything exciting to share? Pull up to the table for a nice cup of tea! =]
I shall start. Well, I have to say I am sad that I have been such a poor administrator to this board. I started with as I've said before with my cousin years ago, her as the main admin. She doesn't visit here anymore so I sort of took over. As the years have gone by though, more responsibilities have come up on my part which doesn't allow me to get on here as often as I used to or as much as I'd like.
I am currently in college about six classes away from finally having my BA. That has been very time consuming with essays, exams, discussions, and various other assignments. On top of that I have also been working two part time jobs that are just sort of draining. I also have a boyfriend of three years so we're out doing stuff after work typically or when I'm not doing homework.
Anyway, that's my life in a tiny nutshell at the moment. After I post this I have to do an exam for my Anthropology class which I have been dreading all week. Wish me luck!
Hope everybody else is having a lovely day and week. =]

I've recently applied for a job at Sears, and I'm waiting to hear from them. I've been unemployed for a long time, and I really need a job. On the bright side, I've become exalted with 3 Pandaria factions over the past few days on my lvl 90 human warrior. Now I need to become exalted with the Celestials and earn justice points on dungeon runs in order to buy gear for my alts. On August 15th, I'll audit an animation class at the local art school. I want to do something with my drawing skills, and animation is one of the few commercial arts that I actually have an interest in. I want to see if this is what I really want. Here's hoping for the best.

I feel ya about the whole job situation. Right now I'm working very part time which makes it difficult to stay on top of things. =/ My friend is having a tough time getting a job as well. She works at Staples but they aren't giving her any hours. I think she just applied at Converse so hopefully that will go alright.
You play WoW to?? I've gone through so many phases with it since I was about 15 or so. I'd play for a few months pretty obsessively and then just stop and abandon the character. haha! Right now I have a level 43 Monk and I have been fairly dedicated. I am still a bit rusty and not too experienced with the technical stuff, but I think I'm doing pretty well!
That's awesome about the animation class! Ever since I was little I wanted to be good at drawing but unfortunately I don't have the talent for it. =/ I do love to write though and really wish I could motivate myself enough to sit down and actually finish a story. Or at least work toward publishing a children's story I wrote a while ago.
I think I may play some WoW tonight actually since I have finished my homework for this week. Then I get to start all over with more homework tomorrow! Yay!... not really though. haha!

It's been a while since I drew anything. I've been kind of off and on with drawing, but the last long string of drawings I did were from tutorials to help me with proportions and poses, which I've struggled with in the past. I asked a commercial artist for advice, and she told me that, judging from the drawings I showed her, I could draw just fine. She said that now I need to learn how to draw digitally.
