First off, excuse this (==}). (>) is apparently not a valid character to make this (==>) properly.

Judging by the Mood, Listening to, etc. from the last entry in this "journal," it's been a very long time. I've always thought myself a decent artist, but my da doesn't really reflect that well. Anyone who comes here and is nice enough to heed the words of this post, please don't judge me based on what you see here and my incredibly "scene" username. I believe that "Matty" was in reference to Matt from Death Note, it doesn't even have anything to do with me.

I'm 19 now, and at university. I learned some things about myself; likes, dislikes, and an even clearer understanding about who I am. Not to imply that I wasn't confident in who I was before.

I've gotten a tumblr, wasted my time on YouTube gaming personalities, read some Homestuck, and gotten some new fandoms.

I guess what I'm saying is that my deviantart really never grew to be the thing that I thought it would. Not for others, but for myself. I've had it since I was about 14 or 15 years old, and all I've ever really done is post a few of photos, some cruddy scans of some art, a few things from when I attempted to have it serve a Photobucket function, and a hat that I'm still proud I could sew.

This isn't really a goodbye to deviantart, I'll still be using it to favorite things I think are well crafted or cool, but I don't think I'll ever really use it much for my own art.

I guess I'll conclude this by saying, thanks, da. Thanks for being my jumping off point for entering the world of social internet.

Signin' off for now,
