lol haha i dissappeared! whoops! sorry guys! here's what's been going on since late may/early june high school is fast approaching, an absolutely WILD thing for me to say here because i joined this website in the summer before fourth grade and it shows. over this summer i have been really really booked up and away from a computer, like, every single day for five straight weeks? (which was actually a really nice mental health break gotta say) and now i am being faced with the inevitability of time passing and i guess im?? coping??? but after five years (oh my god) i still feel an obligation to this website because yall are, like, The Site That Changed Everything. scratch was rly formative for me as an artist and as a person and so i feel a weird sense of commitment to it and to my audience of maybe five people who actually look at my content. five years of trying to be internet famous and i have not achieved it but i guess i have a mild following. what is there 179 of you who smashed that follow button for more of this? wack as for scratch-related things for a long time i was working on a fairly serious autobiographical project about my mental health and my experience in online communities, a project which i lost motivation to make the visuals for but might still record the audio and release it as just that if it feels like a valuable thing to share. i am among the older group using this website, and so it feels like i should. i dont know. share some wisdom or knowledge or whatever. i dont know if anyone would be interested in hearing me talk about my life oh also im still a homestuck, and i recently reread 17776 and thats all up in my brain. and i might start tazposting again, we'll see on that one. truth is that i forgot about this website for months at a time and now that im home and doing nothing all day ive realized im leaving you all in the dust a little bit sorry i was gone for so long, i know not a soul noticed but its fine because i dont need the validation of others on this website for children in order to feel cared about anymore. i have great friends keep truckin yall
