Thanks for the compliment, kat, but unfortunately Kelida is not my given name. I'm known by that throughout the 'net, though, so I've grown a bit attached to it--at least as much as I am to my real name.

I think that the only thing I've done to horrify my parents is decide to make art my life's work. "It's not a real job. . ." Oh well, as "lazy" as I am, I think a "real job" would be a mistake. . . If nothing else, maybe the band will work out. . .
