Back and Forth
I don't mind where we're going, just not back and forth...
Long time no, er... whatever this is. I've reached the point where DeviantART enters my mind maybe once in a blue moon, but even then that's probably generous. I honestly don't get time to think about it. But that's to be expected, being that I'm in my thirties and have a career now.
