I haven't posted much of anything lately, but I want you guys to know I'm still alive. I also have everything block. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow and get something artistic done.
I have decided to call upon my fellow Otakuites for some help. Please tell me what problems you are experiencing with the site. I'm planning to round up all the complaints, prioritize them, and email them to every address I can find for staff on theO.
The list is below. Please contribute if possible. It also would help me if you guys could spread the word about this.
Thank you so much.

Do you ever have that feeling where you hate everything you create? 'Cause I'm having it now. Sorry for the downer of a post; I've been having a lousy couple days.
Update: Thanks for the support, everyone. I'm feeling a lot better now.
My voice meme is now posted. You can find it here. It will either play automatically, or ask you to download, depending on your machine/device. Just be patient because it's a whopping 40+ minutes. At least I was able to edit it down from over an hour. I can't believe it took me 23 days to edit this thing. Granted, I've been busy, but still.

I just want everyone to know that I'm alive, so this is what I've been doing.
My voice meme is recorded. And it's almost an hour long. Oops. Lately, I've been editing out as many "ums", "uhs", and awkward silences as possible. I already cut a bunch of them out and shortened the meme by five minutes. And that was just the first set of questions.
I don't have many drawings in the works-- only some incomplete sketches. I haven't really been in the mood to draw much. Still gotta work on those last two OC asks. That's probably what I should concentrate on as opposed to the sketches. After all, how many years has it been?
I haven't been in a writing mood either. I fixed up the eighth chapter of Survival Instincts, but I haven't posted it yet. My other stories have just been neglected. And yet, I want to write a new one. Will any of my stories ever get done?
When I actually feel like writing, it'll probably be those three album reviews. Just gotta do a bit of research on said albums.
Well, that's it for my rambling. Thanks for reading.
