Update:
TechKeys // i3oilermaker is helping me out to send these out. I moved again last month so I don't have them on hand, and the moving company will not give me a date of when my items will be delivered, so I'm not sure when I will get them over to TechKeys for processing. They said 'unofficially' my stuff was loaded two days ago.
Explanation:
A lot of you saw on Twitter after my move to California I got a job at Blizzard and essentially mentally blocked out most things for the better part of a year.
Keep in mind you have no idea what somebody may be dealing with. I knew I couldn't handle being demonized over all of this, so I just stayed away. I lost my keyboards, too. This was a dark pit I couldn't enter.
When I started this project I was in a great place. I loved my job, had a house, felt useful and was chipping away at my issues from my past that I've shared with a couple of people. Then I made a horrible mistake that bled all over my life to try to work things out with the father of my child, leaving the job, house and independent security I was working on. Since my life was built on a shaky foundation that I won't get into - I fell apart. I lost everything and the man kicked me out leaving me with essentially nothing, but mostly my dignity and self-worth.
I moved to California to get my **** together without affecting my child's development. I had to ignore a lot of things in order to focus on the prior 30 years of damage that I had blocked out and ran from. It was much harder than I thought it was going to be and took longer than I anticipated as well. What you saw on social media was me hiding that damage from my online persona and trying to stay relevant.
During the spring someone reached out to help and I agreed, but I couldn't even bring myself to look for the keys in all of my unpacked boxes. I just didn't know where to start.
One day everything clicked for me. I don't know what it was, but things have changed. I can handle stress and jerks alike and I'm working on making things right here. A few weeks later i3oilermaker reached out to help get this finished and I will be working with him in the mean time. I would like to paint the keys, but I know I don't have the time and I'd have to find all the supplies and everything again. I'm sending the one painted keycap to i3oilermaker with the caps/information sheet.
For those who reached out on Skype, I wasn't ignoring you. I'm not sure why it showed me online as I haven't been on it in close to a year... maybe more. Like I said, the mistake I made bled all over my life, not just over this project.
I am not asking for forgiveness, or your trust, I'm working on other stuff right now to keep on track, namely just mom-stuff. However, I do apologize for how you all were affected by the choices I made that led up to stuff.
@ pas008:
I checked my shapeways history and I did order your Lions key in October 2014 and a starman on 9/11/2014, so those should be in the same box as the SmallFry caps.
Others:
There are also a few other keycaps in my orders, but outside of the SmallFry caps, I've kept terrible records, so I'm not sure to whom they should go to. Once the movers deliver my stuff and I can go through the keys, I will post here photos of the keys I have so they can get to whom they were supposed to go.
