So just a big huge update on where I disappeared to because I'm sure everyone has noticed not only am I extremely late HERE on patreon but I've been super absent on my social media accounts (which yes I know is not like me!). What happened was I basically was part of a data/security breach and lost access not only to my paypal/bank account (my money was drained and I'm STILL waiting to be compensated) but I lost my accounts (not all tho) that were connected to my main email 'stickysheep'. I started to receive an influx of "unusual activity" emails and password reset requests from my paypal, twitter, tumblr, bank account- basically almost anything connected to my email. I thought someone was messing with me and literally the same day that I made a DA journal about 'whoever is trying to log into my DA should fuck off'- I was locked out accounts my bank/paypal were drained and I assume passwords were reset. And since I couldnt log into my email I couldnt change them back. Thankfully after WEEKS of talking back and forth with microsoft support and other support services linked to my accounts I had enough proof that I was ME.
I'm still not 100% sure where this breach happened but after gaining access to my email I'm almost positive it happened because I bought a game from NIS America during a time they had a data breach since I got an email saying HEY SORRY YOU MIGHT BE COMPROMISED! How lucky am I. I literally had this same thing happen with Gamestop not too long ago but it only went as far as me losing access to my paypal and my paypal being drained and my card had to be canceled and reissued.
Anyway, I'm very glad to be back. I thought I was going to lose access to an email I had for years and all accounts tied to it and that I was going to have to start all over from freaking nothing. Probably one of the most stressful situations I've been in in a while... Anyway, I'm just waiting for my computer to be in hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow. I sent it to a family friend to have it scanned and cleaned because now I'm just a paranoid mess :D

All that being said the owed Pinup will be posted ASAP most likely tomorrow once my computer is safe in my room.

Oh and umh. I'm breaking the habit of "one password for all my accounts" after all this shit.
