Hey there, buddy! Remember me? I was TheSkull31 for a decade before my laptop and phone died last year; then, for whatever reason I couldn't get back into my old Gmail. So, five months ago I started fresh and became IAmTheSkull.
How are you? C:
I remember you.
Wasn't active on DA felt for ages - just occasionally, though. Sorry, if I missed some stuff here. My life changed/changes a lot.
And, btw, thanks for the pins .. hum .. ah yes, favs, they call on DA. Seems I lost some routine here.
How did you survive 2020 till now? I hope, kinda good. And congrats to the new start. I hope it will be as successful as your previous account.
btw: Damn, I guess I still have to get used to DA's new outfit.
I don't know how I managed to get out of 2020 after my phone and laptop died on me last year around this time, but I guess it was God trying to tell me something. Whatever it was, I somehow made it through.
I feel your pain.
Last Christmas I was working on a few concepts for a university project with my tablet when that damn thing said goodbye, went black and vanished to data nirvana for ever.
And yesterday, I worked on other project, and out of sudden, my graphic pen didn't work anymore.
I tested the functionality of the graphics tablet with the touch pen of an older tablet/laptop (its a covertible thing). The graphic tablet works perfectly.
Unfortunately, the touch pen can only be used to a limited extent for graphic work, as it only has 2 pressure levels.
Well, a replacement pen is on the way. Comes straight from China. In four days or four weeks. 
And the last 5 weeks I dealt with a broken foot ... but there were also some benefits out of it. E.g. it gave me a good excuse to stay away from all the bustle in and around our house. There's a lot of renovation and construction stuff going on yet and it's all in all a pretty busy this summer.
I almost wish my foot hadn't healed so quickly. But still, I should not load the foot too much for another week or two.
A few days earlier, I had an reminder of 2020 when I chatted with two former American school mates who complained that Covid cases are now increasing again in their big cosey country, as the delta mutations seem to be spreading quickly. I hope they can get this under control. But when you have a look on states like Texas, you could really doubt the sanity of our southern neighbors.
I hope, your summer was a relaxed one so far.
happy belated birthday my friend
As you once said, 10th grade is hell. Especially if you are in the IB program. Cause of that you get more stuff on your plate as you can handle it. ^^
So, a much more belated thanks for the belated happy b-days.
btw: nice to see you are still active here.
