Well, I've been considering this lately, and I've decided to leave dA.
Not forever, but I don't plan on being active anytime soon. I'll get back on every so often to check in, but for the most part, I'm going to be concentrating on other stuff. I have a lot of stuff to think about and dA, as much as I love it and the friends that I've made through it, is just something I can't deal with at the moment.
When I do come back, I'll be making a brand new account and contacting those who are watching me and all....
I guess, you can expect me to be back and active around...January '09. ^^
Until then, good luck and have fun~
