This happened on Tuesday! Pardon my scaly winter hands.
Not entirely unexpected because two weekends before, my boyfriend asked me to look up something in his email while he was driving, and completely forgot his inbox was full of emails from the ring company. Still though, he asked in the same spot where he first asked me out four and a half years ago, so it was sweet. We're planning on a long engagement, so if I had a dollar for every time I made this face at people who asked me if we've set a date yet, we could pay for a giant goddamn wedding. I would also like to add that this ring is made of recycled gold and lab-created diamonds -- yay for being ecologically and socially responsible!
I'm also headed to Boulder tomorrow, and then on to California on Sunday. I probably won't be around much while I'm on vacation, but I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

I'm mostly not here these days, but I haven't forgotten about the annual holiday card exchange. :)
Drop me a note with your address if you'd like to exchange cards with me! I'll be checking my messages for the next two weeks to see. In the past, I've sent cards to LadyLincoln (https://www.deviantart.com/ladylincoln), Nichrysalis (https://www.deviantart.com/nichrysalis), HugQueen (https://www.deviantart.com/hugqueen), and julietcaesar (https://www.deviantart.com/julietcaesar), but I always love sending out more mail!
All's well on my end. Lots of traveling, which is unusual for me, but it's been fun -- Philadelphia for a conference a few weeks ago, and Salem, MA, for Thanksgiving with my fiance's extended family.
I've also bought my wedding dress!
Sometimes, you reach a point...

...where it might be time for a change.
You've probably noticed that I haven't been around much in the past few weeks, and I'd be lying if I said that wasn't because of all the rapid changes deviantART is undergoing. The rebranding was something I could live with, but the shit with the staff and the Core Membership debacle have left a sour taste in my mouth. This place has always been about the people for me -- and although dA is a company, of course, it used to put people first, too.
I've made a ton of friends here that I don't want to lose, and I think you all knew that I've basically grown

A real update is coming soon about the writers conference I was at last week (and I know a lot of you are dying to know how it was!), but until I can pull all of my many thoughts together, here's something to tide you over:
How long have you been on DeviantArt? Over 9 years. :stare:
What does your username mean? Mostly it means I thought mean ice cream was a funny concept when I was 15.
Describe yourself in three words. Prickly but sweet.
Are you left or right handed? Technically I'm a lefty, but my mom made me write with my right hand when I was a kid, and now I'm stuck like this. :laughing
Let's take a selfie

Because pictures are fun!
"You can tell a lot about a person by what they write, but there are lots of other ways to get an idea of who they are. What they wear; what they read; what their room looks like; what posters they hang on their walls; what they keep in their bedside drawer. If you're like me, bored with answering the same questions, then feel free to jump in and show your watchers who you are in a different way. "
