And in other non-gloomy news, which I don't think I've shared in this thread yet, I got a new job at a library! And a new apartment near it! Which means I've finally moved out of my parents' house! And the job I had at a craft store transferred me to a store near by new home!
So in other words, I am doing well. Been busy with the starting of jobs and packing and moving and settling in and all, but now that I'm moved in and on the way to sorting out utilities, things are calming down.

It's definitely not your fault! Shop's on hiatus, Panda hasn't posted since May. It'd be weird if it weren't quiet in here lol.
But I share your feelings. Mildly unrelated, I'm most likely going to be retiring from coloring and possibly Gaia altogether soon. It's really hard, but I've had a great run, made a lot of great friends, and will hopefully see ya'll around, at least on tumblr or wherever (link to my blog in my sig, one for deviantart coming soon. Also ask me for my skype username if you wanna chat).
I've decided I need to take more time to work on my own art instead of coloring other people's ^^
Even though its fun, I've done it for so long that it did start to take up a large chunk of my time.
Didn't know how to tell you guys but there it is :B
I love ya'll and I hope Extra does get back on it's feet, but I can't stick around as a colorist.
And congrats Mew (& Nana's ama) 8D <3!
Sorry for bringing more gloomy news into the thread, but you guys deserved to know.
I'm not essentially retiring, but considering the fact I'm only active in like... one shop and my lack of initiative to branching out, I may just turn to tumblr to being my main form of communication as well. Plus, like Starry, I think I should be putting my writing to actually working on that book I have sitting around rather than role-playing, aha. That's not to say I won't be around to answer PMs or something, but I've been slowly veering away from Gaia as it is...
The gold gens and being unable to afford anything is also a contributing factor, but not a large one. Like, three percent of my reasoning, aha.
*resigned sigh* Time to speak up it seems. I'm also quitting my colorist position. I was going to wait until I had my giveaway up to say so publicly, but progress on it has halted because approval is still required for various parts.
I apologize for any trouble this causes and other difficulties I've caused in the past. I think I've completed all the evolutions that I owe at this point, but if anyone has a pokemon colored by me and wants me to color the evo for it... I guess you could either post it in the Evo request thread, or PM me with your request if it doesn't technically have all the requirements fulfilled yet, (Edit: Just PM them to me, sorry, I didn't realize Panda closed the Evo thread like that). That way once I finish it'll be in the shop photobucket when it's needed.
Below the spoiler is my list for reference, though my shorthand may be unintelligible. Auto evolvers are done(pending approval), this is just those that require something further from the owner.
Future Requests, Untemplated: (can't do yet)
Davesprite Pigoto > Pigeot
Glowy Deino > Hydrygeon (RP)
Blue Panther Shinx > Luxio (auto evolver but untemplated) > Luxuray
edit: Sorry, all, for the bad news, and congrats about the good. You are all incredibly awesome, wonderful people and I appreciate you all! ... I'll go back to lurking again. *slinks*
