Yeah, next Tuesday (the 31st) I will be leaving sunny Colorado for the large puddle that is England. As my parents are flying out to here on Wednesday to help me get my stuff back (and for a bit of tourism), I thought I'd write this now while I have chance.

My NG time is going to be seriously reduced, probably for the best given how much time I have spent on here the last 10 months. The connection at my parents house is dreadful, and I'll be busy 99% of the time anyway.

Then it will be back to University at the end of September (just in time to get drunk for my 22nd birthday on the 30th), and I'll have a better connection, so I'll be around more, depending how much work I have to do. Might actually have to do something besides getting drunk for my final year...

So just a little heads up in case anyone misses me (as if!).

Hi there! First up what the hell are you doing in my profile, and how on Earth did you find your way here? Anyway, you are here now, so you may as well go on reading, right? And a few comments would be nice, just to see who is so lost that they found themselves in this backwater of Newgrounds!

So this is redesign day! I guess my line of jokes about how this day would never come will have to be put to rest- I'm sure nobody is complaining! A few thoughts upon the new features, and a couple of small reminders for myself of how things are on this day, as no doubt in a few months the novelty will have worn off and it will just feel like the home from home Newgrounds has always been for me.

As of yesterday I was a level 14, with that God awful rusty pipe- that I will not miss, and a VP of just over 10. Today I am a level 26, with a weird crooked knife thing, and a VP of 15.53 (EDIT- that was a bug, I'm now down to 10.87, though that is still more than before)! Happy days indeed!

Everything looks shiny and new, even though it was slow for a while (hey look, my typing is keeping up on screen now!). Lots of people are excited about the new levels, while others are moaning about the bugs. You'd think after 10 months of waiting for this they could at least wait a few more days for the glitches to be ironed out!

Personally I love Bytesize- that has made me visit the front page for the first time in years! Also the new portal features, with the new flash player and no new windows for reviews etc is fantastic. It makes the whole experience so much more streamlined.

I'm sure I'll stumble across more new things as I explore!

As I have no talent with flash, audio, or art...

I'm currently writing a new BBS story for the NG Mafia, but once this short series is completed I fully intend to start a story thread in General and include volunteers from the BBS. That should be in a month or so if all goes to plan, and as a spur of the moment thing, if you comment here that you want to take part you'll get a better role. Yeah, no cross dressing serial rapist for you! Feel free to give me story ideas as well- right now I am thinking of setting it in a historical period, so give me some suggestions!

My previous stories can also be found HERE should you be curious.

Honestly I have very little else to say, and the character count available for this is enormous! I'll be moving back to the UK (having spent a year in Colorado) in two weeks time (31st July), so my NG time will be reduced for a while. Just a heads up for anyone that might care!
