That's right, I now work for Apple as an agent with their Wireless Multimedia group. 99% of the time I enjoy my job, but right now I feel as if I'm falling asleep and I'm in pain, which has become a daily occurrence unfortunately.
I hope to post some form of written material in the coming future. I haven't written much in the way of poetry or fiction over the past 3-4 years, but I did write a "poem" within the last week as part of a birthday present for a girl I work with, which I hope to post shortly.
In the meantime, for those of you still watching me, I'll post a back-and-forth e-mail conversation I had with a Performance Coach at my job from yesterday/today.
Enjoy, for those of you still with me after all this time.








In general, all is well. Given how I was when I last came on DA, I am a lot better though sometimes it doesn't feel that way.
Still haven't really done anything creative. I finally got my shit together and am in college, and between my studies and work (tech support for Apple) any free time I do get is usually spent trying to unwind or rest. I miss writing and hope it comes back to me one day.

I have just logged on after quite a long break and it is so surreal to see the pages of past friends who, also, are no longer here.
You are so talented! I really hope that you are continuing to do your work -- you are an amazing writer!
It has been an honor to be have been able to read your work as well as get your feedback.
Wishing you the best,
Alana

" Okay, folks. Here's the deal.
By now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka °jark, is now a FORMER Staff Member.
I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.
DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.
So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.
Here's my suggestion.
On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.
So don't submit anything on August 7th.
I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.
Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.
If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.
BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.
We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.
If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a and a .
We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.
But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.
Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt."
