The title is a jumble of words for teh lulz. It means "date of absense" and "question and answer" and "Secret Santa." ALL ROLLED UP FOR A BUNDLE O' FUN!

But I'm almost certain that's a mathematical equation somewhere in Algebraic Land.

Anyhoo, heyo one and all! Long time no showing any signs of life, huh? Here's a few updates to let you know that I'm still kickin'.

Dear My Secret PokeSanta,

I have always wanted a Secret Santa for Christmas! And lo' and behold, I have one now. It's like my life is complete! Why, just the year before I was excited just to receive bubblewrap and the year before that, I got the gift of good ol' H2O! Hand-delivered, too! But since I've been informed by the Christmas Delibird that I can't be content with just that, I have included a few ridiculous demands in which you can *try* to fulfill!

PokeWishlist!

Sky Forme Shaymin dressed up as Excalibur from Soul Eater (( with optional Pikachu in the background making the yeeeeeeah face ))
Sugimori-style Raichu being all Christmasy whilst opening a present with a big blue crayon inside!
Sky Forme Shaymin dressed up as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the snow with presents strapped on its back.
Or just draw ME in awesome Pokemon trainer adventure time! (( you can draw me in ANY way you want. Just don't make me a boy! )) *points at ID*

I will try to leave some PokeBlocks for you the night before when you sneak into my Secret Base. However, since I do not have a chimney and have traps aplenty, I will hand-dig a tunnel for you with just a spoon. You'll know it's the right hole if it looks discouragingly small and rather unsafe. Hopefully you will be able to leave after consuming the gratuitous amounts of PokeBlocks I have left for you. But thank you so much in advance, my Secret PokeSanta! I... I love you. And so sorry it took me forever to put my wishlist up. Delibird was late with the mail call!

Hugs and snuggles, ~crayon-chewer

You just know that whatever I don't receive in present form, I'll prolly be drawing later because all of these ideas amuse me very muchly so.


CONTINUING WITH BUSINESS. So I bet you're wondering what in the world happened to me! Have I been abducted? Have I drunken spoiled milk and keeled over? Did angry koalas devour my head? No no, my faithful watchers. It is simply a life of many, many distractions. Well, and a lack of Internet access. That will certainly foil many a plan!

And to my commishees, so sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth. But fret not! I have not forgotten about any of you! Issues have come up over the past few months in the form of a new job, a wonked-out laptop complete with Trojan viruses and a non-working cooling fan (( FUN )), incompatibilities with various computer mouses (( mice? ))/tablets, the disappearance of an all-too-important tablet, the physical movement of locating from one house to the other (( aka moving. AGAIN. I'VE DONE IT FOUR TIMES THIS YEAR ALREADY, GEEZ. )), not having access to teh Interwebs, and other hobbies including borrowing various video games and just being flat-out lazy. I actually haven't drawn anything in forever! Go me!

So yes. Hopefully the world shall see more of me. Maybe. Though it seems every time I say that, I actually disappear LONGER. Perhaps I shouldn't jinx it?

AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. AND DAY TOO.
