                <description><![CDATA[ I need to figure out how to break out of my shell.  I thought coming to a new city, a place where absolutely no one knew me, I'd be able to just snap out of whatever psychological funk keeps me from meeting new people.  I made a few friends on my own, introducing myself and (eventually) remembering names and whatnot.  But for some reason that seems to be about the sum total of my social skills.  I've been to three parties now and I've pretty much just hung around the people I know.  Got introduced to a pretty 3rd year at the second party.  I saw her last night at the Ceilidh and I think I spoke all of six words to her, and that was only because I went to talk to my 4th-year mentor who "just happened" to be talking to her.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with not hanging out with someone every night of the week.  But when I don't hang out with anyone on any night of the week, it gets a little boring.<br /><br />I don't know, maybe it's fear of rejection.  Maybe it's a remembrance of the past and the friends I used to have, their friendship being in the past tense because I was an ass or uninteresting or just plain worried that I would annoy them if I asked to hang out every once in a while and they forgot about me.<br /><br />Maybe.<br /><br />It's funny, 'cause I think this same thing would have happened had I stayed where I was.  Only difference would be that I'd be around people I already knew, staying in the same social circles and doing the same thing week after week, not branching out at all.<br /><br />So if anything, this is my opportunity to change things up.  I just have to figure out how...<br /><br />Until next time.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For once a measure taken to be well-prepared has actually sort of screwed me over.  The suitcases I got for going over to Scotland are gigantic, easily the largest suitcase I have ever seen anyone actually own.  My mom got me extra-large space bags - the ones that you vacuum out all the air and "it's amazing."  So I'm thinking great, I've got a ton of space and a space-saving device, I'll be able to take over everything I want!<br /><br />wrong.<br /><br />Thankfully I checked out the airline's baggage policy.  First two bags are free.  Okay, so I can't bring my guitar, no biggie.  Weight limit?  50lb.  I go to weigh one suitcase, which has two space-bags worth of fabric and is still only 3/4 full -- 65lb.  Great.<br /><br />So I've been spending the last 24 hours trying to figure out how to fit one pound of potatoes into a 2 pound bag w/o everything (read: my computer monitor) getting trashed.  Yes, I'm taking my computer to Scotland.  I want to do it, so there.<br /><br />I unpacked the space bag that had my t-shirts, thinking they'd give me the volume I needed to safely surround my monitor.  That and two boxes is just about 50lb - and there's still room to spare.  I'm seriously debating putting bubble wrap in just for kicks.<br /><br />As for the other bag, I'm screwing the 50lb limit, coughing up the $50 fee, and putting an extra 20lb in it.  Still have a little space in that bag too, but at least it's got everything else that I need.<br /><br />I suppose all that's left is to figure out how to cram all the rest of the remaining crap into my duffel bag w/o crushing anything important.  This could be interesting...<br /><br />Until Scotland.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know if DA is just being weird, or I've just been forgetting to actually delete devs.  I logged in today to find 121 submissions, 100 of them being devs that I had already seen/deleted.  Odd.<br /><br />In other news, as soon as I get around to editing the pics of my latest creations (not for lack of time, certainly, more a lack of interest as I play through Lode Runner again) I will upload them here.  Friday, maybe?<br /><br />And, finally, while I don't <i>have</i> to pass my Environmental Physiology exam on Thursday, I have this nagging feeling like I should study anyways and kick the snot out of it.<br /><br />Until next time.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been accepted to Michigan State University and the University of Glasgow's Veterinary program.  Yippee for me.<br /><br />When I originally applied to Glasgow, I though "eh, it's a dream school, they might let me in but I'm going to MSU."  Then they told me in Nov I had an interview.  Accepted me in Feb.  Meanwhile, MSU decided to wait until Jan before even contacting me, and Mar before accepting me.  So in the months between schools deciding I starting getting a hankering to go to Scotland.<br /><br />No problems, right?  Just go there and shut up, eh?<br />Wrong.<br /><br />My parents, until this afternoon, were convinced that all I wanted was to go to MSU, and I didn't even really care about Glasgow.  So they've been acting like I'm already going to MSU ("where's your place next year?" "do you want to borrow the truck or the passat?"  It's like, I haven't even made up my mind yet!<br /><br />I've run the whole pro/con thing to try to make my decision, but other than a 2-to-1 price difference between there and here, everything seems to even out.  Which means I should pick MSU because of the rather insane price difference, right? (and, I can only get loans for 1/2 the tuition at Glasgow)<br /><br />The problem is, I have this nagging feeling that if I choose State I'll spend the next four years asking "what if."  Keep in mind, this is a really weird feeling for me, since I don't usually think these sorts of things.  But what if I'm missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime -- living in Scotland for five years -- just so my parents will be happy?  Of course, there is the possibility (having never been to their campus) that I might find it a horrible place to be, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.  I mean, it's frickin' Scotland!<br /><br />I think the worst part about this whole thing is that it's affecting my studies.  I really don't care all that much about my final semester because I'm too preoccupied with the future.  Well, that or the fact that I'm graduating in 41 days... but it really is bothering me nonetheless.<br /><br />I don't really know where I'm going with this journal, I just needed to vent and the usual suspects are offline (and it's late, so I don't want to call).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The time has come for the hectic hassle known to all college students -- midterms.  For me, they're relatively light, for the most part, as I only have two classes w/ exams (though I should probably study for them still....)<br /><br />The fun part is that my critique for ceramics is next week.<br /><br />Why, you might ask, do I bother to mention this?<br /><br />Well, it is simply because after a semester and a half of "playing with clay," as it were, I've finally created things I like.  Last semester was hand building, and while my 3 pieces were pretty good I didn't really feel attached to the them (hence the reason none of them showed up here).  But when I pulled my little cups and bowls out of that kiln for throwing class, I got this little tingle of excitement.  There shouldn't even be any good reason, they're just things that I had to get done to demonstrate my proficiency at "the basics" of throwing.  Some of them aren't even all that well trimmed around the foot.  But something about making a piece that's actually functional makes me smile.  Plus, imo, they look pretty neat too.<br /><br />until next time.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

'Cause my stupid camera doesn't realize that perfectly charged batteries are completely charged, and thinks they're 100% drained, and shuts off.  I can't even move 1 picture, let alone the 100 that are currently on the card (don't know how I managed that given it's current "I hate power" status).  My dad's comp has an SD reader, but not XD... grr.<br /><br />By week's end I'll either have a new camera, or an XD reader, or I'll find my bro's camera... hopefully.<br /><br />until we meet again.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
...in other news, I am apparently the only person in my family who knows what an Irish Car Bomb is.  Instead of champagne for New Years we had Baileys Irish Creme.  I said "is there going to be Irish Car Bomb's?"  My dad looked at me like I was a moron, and said something to the effect of "you mean explosives?"  yes, father, I want to blow up all those damn partygoers in Times Square with car bombs. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" />  Just my inner alcoholic flaring up, I suppose.  Hooray beer! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/beer.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":beer:" title="Beer before Liquor; will get you sicker" />  Come to think of it, I need to figure out what I'm going to have as my first drink once I've passed around the sun again.  A man's first legal drink is very important, ne?  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cake.gif" width="32" height="32" alt=":cake:" title="Have your cake and eat it too" />  But I digress.<br />
<br />
Actually, this entire post is a digression from everything, isn't it?  Am I asking too many questions?  Will I ever find an answer?  Nevermind that last question, I already know the answer.  *42*<br />
<br />
but to wrap this up, for I know that y'all have better things to do than hear me rant, I wish y'all a good one.  May it be ecologically friendly, for only you can prevent forest fires.  Except they're now called "wildfires."  Smokey's been replaced, as well... and Cookie Monster doesn't eat cookies any more... and I think I'll stop before the alcohol gets to me *glares at bottle*.  You hold no control over me.<br />
<br />
oh, and I do custom jewelry.  Low rates, you get what you want or your money back.  Guaranteed <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So not that I'm complaining, just mentioning and/or bumping the old post, 'cause it's old... anywho...<br />
<br />
Random thought before I post what I actually want to post -- I find myself very often giving little disclaimers before I say something.  I don't know if it's 'cause I want to save my own ass, or just let people know that they can stop listening, or maybe... I don't know.  I'm trying to decide to just kick the habit and let people think whatever the heck they want about what I'm going to say -- but if I do that I think I'll be defending myself even moreso in defense of what I just said instead of defending it before I even speak.  Kinda like a "brace yourself" warning.<br />
<br />
but I digress<br />
<br />
Someone favorited my earrings a couple weeks ago, but I didn't think much of it.  I didn't say "thanks" on their page 'cause they hadn't responded to any of the thanks on there anyways.  But that isn't the point.  I went back there today just to see what kind of stuff they had (I had browsed before but I forgot).  She's only got about 300 more PVs than me, but apparently she sells a lot of her jewelry (mostly earrings).  And my rant just ended, as seeing she's gotten the 1.5k PVs in four months, while mine is over... a year. Stupid re-checking things... <br />
<br />
still, I am curious as to how one gets noticed like she does, while I have yet to sell more than one piece of jewelry that I've EVER made.  Not that my overhead is gigantic, considering that I mostly do commissions.  The stuff I make is generally given away as birthday/Christmas/etc gifts.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if the people reading this sell things like I do, but if you do, do you have any tips to help me along?<br />
<br />
and as a final segue, being at home sucks purely because there's a) nothing to do, and b) no one to hang out with.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was taking some pics while at Cedar Point and I took a picture of a girl.  I was going to post it on here, but then that little nagging voice told me "you didn't get her consent to post the picture."  Now, chances are I'll never see her again, though I could ask her boyfriend if she wouldn't mind.  That seems awkward.  And I can't remember if it's kids you need consent for, or just all public displays, or what.  'Cause they show people on TV all the time, and in newspapers, and whatnot.<br />
<br />
My question is, should I get her consent if I want to post the pic on DA?  Or is that just a nicety?<br />
<br />

Last day of work tomorrow (well, technically today, but still after sleep and all that), then a day off, then shopping, then more shopping, then moving in back at college!  Followed, of course, by lounging around enjoying my T1 line and hanging out with all sorts of cool people.  Who knows, maybe I'll even find some time to make more jewelry (or write poetry, I haven't done that in a while...).  Anywho, random updatedness complete!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ah, the joys of sleeping in my own bed, as opposed to a hard floor.  Of course, I haven't spent much time in it, as I have been working 13 hours a day for the last week ('cept tuesday, thank goodness).  But I'm not complaining, mind you, about my job and all it entails.  I'm just complaining that I haven't had a glorious night's sleep yet.  Almost had it last night but my idiot brother decided he was going to go TPing and have the victim call for an hour trying to pin it on him.  Anywho...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I get to sleep in (that is, if my body lets me and I don't wake up at 6am...), and finally get some decent sleep.  'Course, you might be asking why I am still up when I could be asleep, and I answer you this -- 'cause I"m lazy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

She's the only vet I've worked with, so there goes any and all hope of applying early to vet school.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just wanted to move my journals around.  Work is long, 'specially now that we've lost two people I'm workin six days a week.  Looking forward to church camp next week -- it'll be a lot more work than at the market, but it'll be a lot more rewarding.  Hopefully I can get my life out of the black hole it's dropped into.<br />
<br />
With work bein demanding, jewelry time has dropped a bit.  I'm workin on a bracelet at current, but it's all bead threading and rather tedious.  I'm hoping to finish it by Friday.  If not then, by the second week in August.  Look for it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Until next time.<br />
<br />
p.s.  Thanks to my brother, I'm suddenly inspired to make a wire-frame chess set.  I wonder how it'll turn out...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

The first ten people who reply to this journal and tell me that they want a spot will have me go through their gallery and pick my three favorite deviations, which in turn will be featured in this journal (the original number was 15, but I highly doubt I'll get even five, so I dropped it a bit.  If I get a ton I'll raise back up to 15).<br />
<br />
The catch is that to qualify, you MUST post a similar journal, this gives us an opportunity to really appreciate and support this lovely artistic global community we've got going on here.  And, it allows non-sub people to show off people that are cool.<br />
<br />
Can't figure out how to do thumbnails (that and it's 12:45 so I don't want to...), so they're just links at the moment.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anywho, back to my boring life, filled with Goldeneye, One Piece, and more bad movies than you can shake a stick at.<br />
<br />
But on the plus side of the boredom (essentially making it null and void), I got invited to see Harry Potter by a good friend 'o mine.

<br />
It's too hot, humid, and nasty.  Supposed to rain and get cooler.  Around 4am.  I sure as hell ain't stayin up that late.  So as much as I hate to do it, I have the AC in my room running.<br />
<br />
Not much else, considering that nothing ever happens in this hick town of mine.  Should anything, though, you'll be the first ones to know.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So my mom suggests that I go to the produce market down on Centre St. to see if they're hiring (fyi to all those non-watchers I've been looking for a job since before school got out on 5 May).  I (reluctantly) go down there, fill out an application.  She says "well this other guy is supposed to be here, I hired him, but if he doesn't call me back by tomorrow you've got the job."  I figure that he'll show, I won't get the job, and I'll be force-feeding myself daily doses of the Humane Society (which, for lack of a good ranting mood, I'll save the explanation for later).<br />
<br />
Anywho, the next day (yesterday) rolls around and she actually calls.  So I go down there and start working.  It's surprisingly fun, considering that most of my job consists of moving multiple palates of food, each containing hundreds of pounds of delicious fruits and veggies.  The other fun part is rolling strawberries, which essentially means removing all the cruddy, moldy ones.  Makes me appreciate the market even more.<br />
<br />
But after all that moving, rolling, cash-registering, and restocking, I am extremely glad that I have a day off tomorrow.  Which I shall definitely enjoy by going to a jazz concert in South Haven tomorrow.  Which, actually, brings me to the end of all new and exciting info from teh world of Phil<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So school ended last week, and I think I'm just about fully unpacked.  Coupla good things, coupla bad things, so I have to say May is going pretty well so far.  <br />
<br />
Got a 3.6 for the semester, only because of one stupid 2.5 that I keep kicking myself over 'cause I really could have gotten a 3.0, but whatever, I got a 4.0 in genetics and I know I didn't do that hot on the final, so big bonus there.<br />
<br />
I got back yesterday from Anime Central in Chigaco, it was pretty fun.  I didn't really want to go to any of the panels they had, but hanging out with friends (and watching them win 2nd place at the Masquerade) was fantastic! (click the  <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=TXccl2qzbRo">[link]</a> for all the excitement).  Plus, I bought some pretty sweet art from the artists there (who I'm going to proceed to find on DA), and the four hour car ride allowed me to finish the necklace that I've been slowly piecing together over the last month.<br />
<br />
So now I'm back, and already my mom is trying to get me to apply for a gamut of jobs that I don't really want.  Working at a greenhouse would be fun, but I really want to spend the summer actually working for a veterinarian so I can get into vet school.  But since no one's putting ads in the paper, I think I'm going to just go down the phone book and start calling around.  Who knows, I might get lucky.<br />
<br />
That is all for now.  Toodles.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've had some interesting encounters with members of the opposite sex today, just thought I'd share.<br />
<br />
Well, first one non-encounter, I didn't see either of my swimming friends today, that made me a little sad.  But moving on.<br />
<br />
I was sitting at lunch eatin some burrito deliciousness when I overhear a convo happening at the other store.  (Keep in mind I wasn't intentionally eavesdropping, but there was no one else and they were loud.)  So the girl complains to her (female) co-worker that her boyfriend is giving her problems.  First, he worked from 6am - 1am, then decided to sleep instead of hang out with her.  The, he was talking to some sorority girls in conversations that involved more than just sorority/fraternity business (he's in a frat).  She thinks he's way out of line.  It made me very very glad that all of my girlfriends have been tolerant of my female friends, about 75% of my total friends.<br />
<br />
Seriously, why are some girls so shallow?<br />
<br />
And on a lighter note, hooray for Spring.  A time when it's nice and sunny, and you can ride your bike just about anywhere on campus and see topless women trying to avoid the *gasp, horror, shock* TAN LINE!!!! OMGWTFBBQ<br />
<br />
It's a tan line.  Everyone gets 'em.  Unless you actually plan on being topless for anyone other than yourself and maybe a significant other, chill.  You'll be wearing that string thing anyways, and it'll cover your *horrible* whiteness.<br />
<br />
And now, to study.  I want so badly to just enjoy this wonderful day instead of cramming my butt off for this stupid exam I have tomorrow.... it's that perfect temperature with the perfect breeze keeping it from being unbearably hot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Jeez, two JEs in three days?  Must be a record...<br />
<br />
I just have to vent as my usual venting partner is away (probably having loads of fun) it comes to DA.  This is NOT the break I had expected it to be, that's for sure.  More like an episode of good cop/bad cop.<br />
<br />
BC: Went up to school for an advising appointment, turns out they weren't even expecting me (because I signed up online -- wtf?)<br />
<br />
GC: Hung out with a friend I don't get to hang out with much, watched a movie and chatted about school (go figure, eh?).  Might be double majoring because of said convo (don't know if this is good or bad <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />)<br />
<br />
BC: PP is booked solid until April, so no p cups 'til then.<br />
<br />
GC: Bought a CD for my bro for $5.<br />
<br />
BC:  My truck died.  Well, more like it's maimed.  3rd gear doesn't exist any more (tried manually shifting, it just spins).  Drove from Charlotte home in 2nd gear, at 60mph, and 4000rpm (great for the engine, ne?).  Forgot what riding in an airplane sounded like.<br />
<br />
GC: My girl's coming out on Friday.<br />
<br />
BC: House is delayed ANOTHER 3 weeks (I swear, I'm going to shoot Ryan Seacrest in the head)<br />
<br />
This week better shap up fast or I'm going to boycott Spring Break next year...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Not much to say, just that it's Spring Break and so I get to "relax" and do "nothing" for an entire week.  Yeah, right.<br />
<br />
Twelve hours after getting home -- dad drops the f-bomb.  I installed a top-notch spyware prog on the computer, and since it was "behind his back" it makes is an f-bomb offense.  Which, I must admit, is a record, since he has never gone that postal before.  I had to apologize to me mum, though, 'cause he was yelling at her about me (I just happened to overhear from my bedroom).<br />
<br />
Going to hopefully be doing a lot of crafting (already have 1.5 bracelets done!) and maybe a dreamcatcher.  Might even get to post pictures, since I have access to a camera.<br />
<br />
And now, sleep, to make the voices go away.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy Winter-een-mas!  The week-long celebration of gaming has once again commenced, and I have definitely partaken in its joys.  On Friday I spent the better majority of the day playing video games, and hopefully I'll have time during the week to further celebrate.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ How I love the weekend.  It's the first time since December that I've stayed up past midnight (heck, the first time in three weeks that I've stayed up past 11:30 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />)  Two hours of charades with some friends, "Guy Love," and more.  I love the weekends. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  And I'm definitely out of it, so that is all for now.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Last fall I helped a friend of a friend move from one place to another.  While it was a lot of work (three trips with the moving van) that's nothin -- I move four times a year.  Moving into the dorms, moving home over Christmas break, moving back, and bringing everything home. <br />
 <br />
I'm at stage 3 -- bringing all the stuff you brought home in the first place (some never touched) as well as all the wonderful things received for Christmas.  On the scale it ranks somewheres around 4, since moving in/out of the dorms themselves are the hardest and I always forget to bring something important home with me for the break.  Anywho.<br />
<br />
School starts tomorrow, and I wonder where my break has gone.  Sure, I know it was well-spent (watching the entire Season 1 of House, seeing my girl, playing video games), but it just seems too short.  I guess while I might not realize it, it apparently has done me good.  A friend of mine at church told me this morning I looked rested.  Which is the point of the break, I suppose.<br />
<br />
So while it's back to the grindstone tomorrow morning, I almost look forward to it.  The stress levels from three weeks ago are gone like the wind.  The only thing that could make the start of the semester better is if it dumped a foot of snow tonight.  Then I get to ride my bike in it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ever click on the "Random Deviant" at the bottom just to see what you can find?  I noticed that I have yet to come across a literature RD.  They are either newbies who have either just joined or never uploaded, or artists.  While I enjoy artwork (and some of it's fricking amazing) I'd like to read some good literature now and again.<br />
<br />
One other beef with the so-called "random" selection -- it never seems to turn out the really good artists -- usually stick-figure drawing people who's favorites are the ones I go for when selecting good artists.  I used to just go through the watchers of the people I watched, then their watchers, etc.  But that got to be tedious.  I find that going through a random deviant's favorites gives me a better overview of a lot more people in a lot quicker time.<br />
<br />
But still, I can't ever seem to find any good literature artists.  I think most of my lit. watches are either friends or people who found me (i.e. =<a href="http://srvixen.deviantart.com/">srvixen</a>), and the other was through the method mentioned above.  I would browse the lit section, but that takes time and there isn't a particular genre I like (plus, most of the people I watch don't submit to one category).  <br />
<br />
Anywho, random rant <hehe random> over.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Have a Merry Christmas!  <br />
<br />
Even if you aren't religious, it's still Christmas Day(according to just about every calendar in the world).  So I am wishing you all the best on this wonderful December afternoon.  May those that do not celebrate for it is "too commercial" try to change that -- bring back the love and joy that this day used to mean.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Until next week, toodles!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So there's one thing I hate about the end of semester -- everything you turn in the last two weeks of school you *might* never see again.<br />
<br />
Grades averaged out to a 3.5 (2x3.0, 2x4.0), though I was expecting a 3.5 in my bio class.  Looked at the grade sheet online, and my Final Research Paper got a 50%.  First thing that comes to mind is the 29/30 I received on the first draft.  WTF?  And so I can't even see the paper until school starts next semester (unless I can convince my prof to scan the paper or something).<br />
<br />
Some good news, I got a 4.0 in orgo, which I was solidly expecting to be a 3.5 (or even a 3.0).  So that's one silver lining.<br />
<br />
Hope your holidays are going well!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ December 7th, 1941, a date that shall live in infamy.<br />
<br />
Though it will slip many minds today, I hope that those who remember will remind those who have forgotten what today meant for our country, and for the world.  America had joined the fight in the Second World War.<br />
<br />
Have you thanked a veteran today?  While many do not wish to recall the foxholes, trenches, and the hell they lived through, let them know that you appreciate them and what they did.<br />
<br />
In memory of my grandfathers, who fought in Japan and Korea.<br />
In honor of those who served, and those who are serving.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I've started moving in to the new account, finally got the pictures from the old one loaded up.<br />
<br />
In case anyone's finding me new, I used to be AngelicBetrayal.<br />
<br />
I guess, to put it simply, I only moved my recent things because the old stuff is old and belongs to a younger, more romantically involved me.  The new stuff, I feel, is interesting and reflects more of a current version of myself.<br />
<br />
Should anyone want to check out my old poetry (written in my senior year, circa 2004-05) you can go to <a href="http://angelicbetrayal.deviantart.com">[link]</a>   I still have the new deviations up 'cause I like reading the comments, and don't want to lose them.  I'm sure DA will yell at me for "copyright infringement" but I'll just explain it to them.  They're nice people.<br />
<br />
Anywho, I must be sleeping because I have a full schedule tomorrow.  (well, it's not really "full" but contains more than usual).<br />
