you are my soul sister. your bio is like my whole life - minus university. And you are SO INSPIRING and draw tlc and I'm just in awe. So yeah.
If you replied I'd be honored <3

Oh my goodness, I'm so honoured that you find me (me, of all people!) to be inspiring. I'm so glad you enjoy my work, and that I can be an inspiration to you

Quarterly or less often post on your page!
I don't know how recently you updated your page (since I don't visit ppl's pages very often), but I see that you got rid of the Activity Feed and are now a 'soon-to-be university student'!
Also, I'm pretty sure you had a Goodreads before we started working on the TLC ftAU fic (or at least I assume you did). Is your username changeable on there? I wouldn't have thought you'd use Ana Dante on there. Obviously my observation skills are quite astute if I can't remember what you were called before hahaha.
Ah yes, I was going to mention this on that comment but it fits better here, topically: I see that you changed your signature to A Darker Shade of Magic.

Oh, so it's quarterly, is it? XD
Christ on a bicycle, Joy, I updated my profile yesterday evening. Why did you notice this immediately?
The activity feed takes up so much room, I hate it! I'm glad I finally realised I could just take it out 
Yeah, I've had Goodreads for like, two years. It used to be Sirena_of_Glamis, but you can change your ID and your URL, so I changed it to Ana-Dante. I kind of want to change my dA ID to Ana-Dante as well, just so I'm consistent across all my accounts (and Ana Dante sounds significantly prettier and more grown-up than NightmareSiren--that is until you remember that Ana Dante is a music pun 
Ahaha, so you did notice that XD Yes, after four years of the waffle Nazi joke, I changed it to a much adultier ADSoM quote, because that quote hurts my heart.

Er, the last two are quarterly. XD Oh stars. Quarterly. Early/mid-June. That reminds me of... ;_____;
Did you really? What a coincidence!
The only part of the activity feed that I'm interested in is the status update because I don't know how else to locate it. Otherwise, it's kinda pointless and bulky.
Level up!!
Ah yes, that sounds familar. The format seems similar to ffn. Mostly anyways. Not that I've tried.
Next time there's a sale... / I hate having to juggle multiple usernames. Ugghhhh.
(What's wrong with it being a pun? XD;; )
I've actually been waiting for you change it for a while. 
Your review says a lot about adventure, so yes, I do imagine that this is quite the feelsy quote. :>
Edit (11:29pm): I did try to make this edit twice like 8 hours ago, except my iPad kept freezing before I could finish/submit it.
Anyways, I realized that I referred you to this comment and then totally forgot to say why.
The reason I came to your page was bc I was looking for your Hoshi Star drawing. I was just telling my new victim friend that I got to read TLC that I had yet to read "The Little Android" a second time because I couldn't handle the feels.
I did end up rereading it last night.

What exactly is the purpose of the status bar, anyway? It's pretty vague on the customize page...
Level up!!
I haven't touched FFN in years
Or maybe next year when my bday rolls around? 'Cause you get a free membership for a day, don't you? Errgh, but that means I'll be stuck with the remnants of my Adolescent Angst for another 9 months =____=;;
(It's too good 
Oh, you've been expecting it, have you?
Very feelsy indeed.
Victim?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Status bar? Or status update? I really think the format is more geared towards a mobile platform. 
Uhhhh, I don't know. Do you?? (If not, I'm trying to remember how you were able to use that journal skin lol) Even if there is a free PM day, it doesn't include username changes. Lots and lots of ppl have complained about this before. I'm just like ...shut it.
Sales are usually Christmas time. Maybe Black Friday time??
Is expecting the right word?
Do I need to update the list of 'Ppl I've gotten to read TLC'? Though, apparently victim is somewhat apt. I apparently neglected to tell her that Winter hadn't been published yet. Oops. Honestly, such a detail didn't cross my mind!
Sounds like enough tears to rival that Alice's in Wonderland.

I don't know. dA on mobile is awful anyway.
But Joyyyyyyy I want to change my UN and I don't want to pay a year of a premium account just for that! (granted, though, if everyone could change their UN willy-nilly we'd have a very confusing site)
Eh, I guess we'll see.
Ahahaha, how could you torture her, so! Not telling her that the last book hasn't been published yet, for shame!
Of course!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hence why they're trying to make it better. Because so many ppl use mobile nowadays.
I will gift you! 
(Yes, it would be confusing indeed. Just like Tumblr! Or ffn!!) That aside, I still stand by the technical issues that dA would have to face for a username change.
I really didn't think of it! Can you blame me? XD;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's good. I rather dislike going on dA through Chrome.
No you will not! I don't like feeling like a mooch! Especially when it's not really worth it!
Yeah, definitely. Must be a pain in the ass to code.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I must have too, if I changed it back to the desktop site on my iPad. e____e;;
It's called a gift for a reason lol.
Yeah, I bet. Pftt. Auto-create a new account within seconds? Hm, lemme see about that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, I did that too XD
EVEN THEN
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ist there something else you wanted as a gift then? XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I DON'T NEED ANY GIFTS AT ALL
BUT SINCE YOU ASKED
BOOKS
ALWAYS BOOKS
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF BOOKS
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ASK, AND IT SHALT BE SENT TO YOU.
(What can I ship to Canada? I think Amazon can ship to Canada.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
NOTHING AT THE MOMENT
THANK YOU THOUGH
(Does amazon.com ship to Canada? 'Cause we already have amazon.ca o3o I don't know if there's actually any difference beyond currency, but eh, I don't understand online shopping.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OKAY. IF YOU SAY SO.
JUST LEMME KNOW.
(I think so. I looked it up . Doesn't seem too outrageous considering that regular shipping is often $3.99 (though I normally just use Amazon Prime nowadays so shipping is usually free..)
I also read that Amazon.ca has a smaller selection/higher prices on certain things. Anyways, it's apparently a separate site/account that I'd have to sign up for and I don't know how using US payments for Canada would work o3o So if there's something you want from Amazon.com, I can get it for you. If not, we can get creative.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YOU IS KIND
YOU OFFER ME BOOKS
YOU IS NICE PERSON
Yeah, they are separate sites (hence the difference domains)
Doesn't surprise me. Canada usually has smaller selections than America. Sigh. Why must so many of my favourite authors be American?
I'll be sure to let you know if I find anything that for whatever reason is only available in America XD I'd offer the same, but I rather doubt there'd be anything on Amazon.ca that you couldn't already get on Amazon.com

JUST SO LONG AS THEY'RE NOT TEXTBOOKS.
(btw, I find a lot of cheap 'international edition' paperback textbooks on AbeBooks . Not sure you'll find what you need, but definitely worth a look ($30 vs $130? Um, yes.) Obviously the quality is much, much cheaper than legit textbooks, but honestly, are you going to use them again?)
Hm yeah.
idk. Perhaps I should read more Canadian authors.
Okie dokie.
It's okay, all you gots to do is redraw this (or something better) with your 4-years-updated skillz for me. ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I DON'T THINK I'D BE REQUESTING ANY TEXTBOOKS, NO
(Would that have the textbooks I need for my classes? o___o)
NOPE, AVOID THAT, MOST CANADIAN AUTHORS ARE AWFUL
Seriously, the only Canadian author I've read who I can actually stomach is Kenneth Oppel. (Then again, most of the Canadian lit I've read was for school, and you know everything you read for school is invariably going to suck) Margaret Atwood is a pretty famous Canadian author, she's apparently quite good. I haven't actually read anything from her yet save a couple poems/short stories, but she's on my list.
Alrighty, then, I'll attempt to make it less cringe-worthy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WELL THEY'RE STILL BOOKS SO YOU COULD TECHNICALLY ASK FOR ONE.
(I don't see why not? Idk, it does depend on what you need, but I found a looottttt of textbooks via that site.)
OKAY IF YOU SAY SO.
(Yes, that's true. Unfortunately lol)
Hm, yes, I've heard that name, though I don't really recognize any/many of her works.
Yay!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TEXTBOOKS TEND TO BE EXPENSIVE, THOUGH
I'm actually so satisfied, I bought all four of my textbooks used for about $200 total. TOTAL. I have a classmate who had to buy a $600 text for ONE CLASS. Though I imagine as I get into later years and more specialized classes, it'll be harder to find used textbooks, huh? x__o
SPEAKING OF TEXTBOOKS
Tumblr has introduced me to Thriftbooks . I want a credit card entirely so I can use this.
Hrmm... Well, I have been looking for rest of the Peter and the Starcatchers books for a while... I already have the first one, but Chapters never has the others...
I'll attempt some slightly more dynamic paneling, just for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THEY ARE. I BOUGHT THE LAST THIRD OF THE CALC TEXTBOOK AND IT WAS STILL $150.
Huh, really? Niice. Did you get some used?
$600?!?!!? WTF SERIOUSLY? AS A FRESHMAN?? WHAT CLASS IS THIS?? (I mean, I know some books cost $2-300 but hopefully they're at least usable for 2-3 semesters...)
This is not quite the same topic, but despite going into higher level classes, you can still find 'solutions' or at least help online for a lot of problems. Huh.
Hm, I had not heard of that site before. All used books? Maybe it takes debit cards? That's what I used for a while before getting a credit card...
Okay. Thou shalt have to wait until October at the earliest lolol.
*hint hint it's my birthday on Monday*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jebus, $150 for one third? Well, I guess that have to pay for all that fancy equipment somehow =____=;;
I bought all of 'em used
A physics class, I think. That thing was monstrous.
I blieve it's all used, yes.
Oh boy! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What equipment? This is calc. 
Oh yeah, physics textbooks are freakin' huge too.
Nice!
I like to look at this every once in a while too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Equipment for everyone else at the university... Since, y'know, probably everyone who isn't in science is basically paying for the science faculties to get new equipment XD
Physics scares me... @______@

Oh stars, I haven't even gotten to your replies that I didn't reply to yet last time. asdfslkdjfa;sklghad;faksdjf;alksdj I'm so bad at DA recently. XD
Sounds about right... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too, oh stars
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
POST THEM. POST THEM ALREADY. Says the person who's too lazy to scan stuff.
Maybe I'll color it someday.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'LL POST THEM ALL TOGETHER AFTER SW
ALSO I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE WHAT I'M DRAWING FOR RAINY DAY
That will be nice
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WHY AFTER? WHY ALL TOGETHER?
I should probably write that down before I forget..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
CAUSE I DON'T WANNA DO IT NOW
Add it to your list of "Things I Plan On Doing But Probably Won't (At Least Not For A While Yet)" XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did actually make that list. xDD;; Though I'm thinking I need a master to-do list because things keep getting forgotten in the cracks...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my stars XD Remember to put Aatrale on it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's on there!
//Why am I so bad at this?? xD;; It's still my phone lock screen/wallpaper.

You look like you need more comments on your profile page. XD
Clearly I just went to 'Add Media' and searched 'birthday' and clicked on some more interesting-looking ones lol. I did honestly try 'Add a Drawing,' but the Wacom plugin crashed on me. >w<
Also, you haven't updated your journal in so long, that it's still the one I said happy (belated) birthday to you on last year.
Anywho, happy birthday! Have a good one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you Sorrrraaaaaaaa I almost called you by your real name again
has it really been that long? Maybe I should update it at some point XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose it's not a big deal if you do lol. Sometimes look at old journals and comments and then realize how often my name pops up. o___o;;
Apparently so. Yes, please do. ;D
When I was writing My First Book Signing , I think my roommate made a comment on how time consuming it is to post journals so often (since... that one was taking me like 5 hours to do...). I defended myself by saying that it'd been about half a year since my last real journal lol. The Ship Weeks ones weren't for me.

Okay, Soybean XD
But with what?
Hahaha, that's true, they do seem to take something like an hour most of the time XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I am Edamame. Which I didn't know where soybeans until relatively recently. Whut.
I have not a clue.
Talk about it. Heh.

Omg. That song is freaking amazing. My life just got so much better.
♪ OOOOHH BABY, GIVE ME ONE MORE CHAAAAAAAANCE ♫ *piano hit*
(I've listened to that song a lot recently, because it's on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have not watched Guardians of the Galaxy (I did go locate a clip), nor have I listened to "I Want You Back" before this, but that's awesome!!
I'm in love with "I Want You Bach" after, you know, 4 hours of continuous listening but it must be better if you know what the original is.
*goes to listen again*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Being familiar with the original does certainly add to the experience XD
