I believe I was just settling down, coming home from the fireworks party out of town, when I got a notification from the DA app. "Seniority Announcement..."- what? Oh my, totally didn't expect I'd be on that list and get that curious, EXCLUSIVE badge!!
Thank you, thank you! Feels like winning a contest I NEVER joined, ahaha..!! 
A mark? Maybe a little, since I was Jackie of all Contests lol, though nowadays I have virtually no time for them to focus on both client and personal MULTIPLE projects. Notable traits? I guess, though aside from the sunshine there are also underwater volcanoes.
I do have been and am passionate about fun events, especially the HUNTS. But when you mention me bringing a positive attitude, awww.. Ima sooo flattered..!
To whoever suggested my name + decided that I'm worthy, I'm grateful that they're focusing on my bright side vs the fiery, angry, judgmental one, thank you! Because seriously, I won't compromise myself for any trophy, so let's hope you wont regret yuor decision, heheh..
By the way, I checked the profile of the other current awardees for curiosity's sake, and found that all of them have been in DA for more than a decade even almost two, wow! While it's only been 5,5 years since I joined, so I'm the 'youngest' one, at least in this round. Feeling oh-so-special lmao, I mean look at this list below!
Apofiss - 17 years (respect!)
Kandy-Cube - 12 years
SlytherclawPadawan [c'est moi] - 6 years (about 5 years and a few months)
Isi-Daddy - 15 years
RHADS - 15 years
QuixoticApricot - 14 years
What a lovely surprise to start a year, it's awesome to be among those who are very likely waaay more deserving to be awarded, thank you! But it turned out to be a REALLY nice surprise when a DA admin / real senior officially noted me about the detailed advantages of getting in the club. Apparently, the badge isn't just a nice accessory to your avatar, but is also including all the CORE. PLUS. features (not just basic Core) all PERMANENTLY a.k.a. FOREVER for FRRREEEEE oh lawd dis pirate loves les TRESSSORRRSSS..!! 
That explains why I can keep the background in my profile skin and the whole customization options. And later when I checked, my sta.sh storage has been increased to 50 GB! That means I've cheated the system coz for some undisclosed reason I haven't been able to buy Core for a long time mwaaaaahahahahahahaa..... AAAOOHH MAAII GADDD this is like being gifted a cheat code to the GAME of LIFE itseeellfff..!!
SYSTEM IS HACKED (though by the generosity of the Universe, not 'really' me) OOPEN SESSSAMEEE GOD I LIVE FOR THIS MERETRICIOUS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TRULY WWAAAAHHOOOOOOO..!!
On storage, up to this point I've only used up very little of it, 49.8 GB is still available! How I'd looove to use it to write my expressive journals like the old days (storing all the pics and emotes) but that's the problem - with Eclipse in place now, it just can't be as expressive anymore, and the organizational functions are just terrible. Maybe that's because they intend to focus more on the visual art vs the other features. In that case, I guess I don't think the huge sta.sh capacity is going to be very useful soon unless I can find other ways to take advantage of it. 
Let's see what other golds are available in Core+.
Looks like another thing I can definitely use is the sub-gallery feature for my MANY, SCATTERED art, haha.. Though there are many more important backlogs than this account's gallery organization I need to prioritize.
And definitely would love to go crazy again with profile skin when I have the time!
Now, to conclude, thanks so much for your appreciation, dear Deviant Art! 'Dis smol time pirate cat artist iconoclast philosopher feels honored to be noticed by the dignitaries of what could be the oldest (a.k.a. most SENIOR) online art community in the world!! Thanks for not letting my occasional hot temper and my relatively short time here get in the way of awarding the club!
And of course, thanks so much to the fellow DA members who have been supporting each other beyond borders. Thanks so much specifically to the ones personally supporting me with their non-judgmental kindness - I know I don't have such a big heart like you all!
