                <description><![CDATA[ So Since my last post I have gotten married and changed jobs.  I now work in a bookshop as a book manager.  Pretty spiffy especially since I get fairly regular hours...9-6 and I do get weekends off for the most part. Yay.  <br /><br />Marriage is good...same as before only now people call me Mrs.  So that's different.  But still good.<br /><br />anyways...other than that it's all quiet.  Bring on the noise...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I found this adorable kitten wandering the neighborhood this past Halloween.  He was the most cheerful little thing and helped himself into my house.  I was so charmed by this little chancer.  I let him stay 'just for Halloween' I said, 'to keep him safe from the fireworks and getting scared'.  My fiancee and I decided to put up posters around the town to see if anyone claimed him.  No one did and we decided to give him to his parents as a gift (we already had two cats and theirs had just passed away).  We named him Gizmo after the gremlin (before he turns evil) and later I added the surname Fluffy-Pants because he was so furry that when he trotted along it looked like he was wearing a pair of fluffy pants.  Even though he was living with them he still felt like our kitten.  About a month ago he decided to go on a little adventure while he was outside.  He ended up getting lost and was missing for nearly a week.  It turns out the woman who found him was driving and saw him sitting along the side of the road dazed the night he went missing.  He had been clipped by a car.  She was a very nice lady and took him in and came around the neighborhood looking for his owners.  She knocked on their door and finally he was brought home.  Unfortunately we discovered a few weeks later that because of the car clipping him on the side of his face, Mr.  Fluffy-pants had an absess in his tooth which was badly infected and bleeding.  So he went in for an operation and had it removed.  It bled for a few more days and pussed and all that sick stuff, but finally it looked like he was on the mend.  Unfortunately because he was still feeling ill and his tooth was sore he stopped eating. He would lick the food, but not eat it.  He went from being a rolly polly fat kitty to a skin and bones one in about a week.  He was taken to the vet about 4 days ago to see if he was constipated and he had to be put under to be 'cleared'.  Unfortunately the anestheasia had a bad effect on him and made him really groggy and wobbly. The next day he seemed that he was getting better, so shane's dad let him out to go to the 'loo'.  He didn't come back and was lost again for 24 hours in the frosty night.  I was so worried that we stayed overnight at their house as his parents were going out of town.  I was there all day while shane had to work.  Sometime in the afternoon on Valentine's day someone left Gizmo in a paper bag at the end of the driveway.  I thought he was dead but he was merely so weak he couldn't walk.  It was heart breaking.  I brought him in by the fire and got him comfortable.  Shane got home and we took him to the vet who gave him a few shots (one with vitamin B to induce his liver into better activity, and another to stimulate his appetite) and told us to get him fed and keep him comfy.  We kept by his side for 24 hours feeding him water and creame and vitamin suppliments through a syringe.  He seemed to be getting better throughout the day. At night he went back to what he was when we found him and when we got back from dinner, he was dead.  It was heartbreaking.  It only served to solidfy my belief that cats should be kept in doors.  At least if you live right by a busy highway.  So much pain and suffering could have been prevented if he was a house cat.  But I don't blame them.  At least he was warm and peaceful when he went.  I guess it may seem silly to some that I would be so affected by an animal's death, but I can't help it.  Our cats are like our children.  They depend on you to take care of them and they give you their love and trust.<br /><br />My latest deviantart entry isn't exactly very artistic but I wanted to submit it in his honour.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Christmas isn't here yet...and as wonderful as it will be I'll be happy when the holiday is over....it feels so commercialized now...not like when we were little and it was fully of magic and the joy of being with family and eating a good meal.  I miss those times.  Now a days you get to the store a week before christmas to buy that last can of cranberry sauce and get hit over the head by a handbag that feels like it's laden with a ton of bricks as a grey haired granny kicks your ass in a desperate attempt for the can.  As if that one can of cranberry sauce holds the fate of the world on its metal shoulders.  SIGH  Ah well...All I can do is hope that when my love and I have children we can teach them the true meaning of Christmas.  The being together as a family and enjoying our short time here on earth in harmony.  <br />
<br />
I am going to try my best to get some shots up of my holiday.  :crosses fingers:  We'll see what happens.  Merry Christmas to all of you.  <br />
Talk to you later<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just added about 20 deviations.  I rarely update but when I do it's usually in bulk.  Have a look if you like.  I'll take constructive critisism if you have it.  I've really been trying to think about the way I see things.  Trying to look at them in a new light.  I dunno if it comes across or if I am just hopeless at this gig.  Anyways that's it for now.  Comments appreciated.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Do you ever get a moment when things just seem to click into place and you feel the overwhelming urge to document it whether with a camera or pencil and paper (or any other media)?  Do you find yourself struck by the sheer beauty of a piece of art and through that art you gain drive and inspiration to push forward with your own contirbutions to art (small as they may be in my case)?<br />
I do.  Sometimes I am so overwhelmed or taken by surprise by these thoughts and urges that it scares me...Mostly because I feel if I do not do something in that moment it will never come again and I will have missed my chance at creating something truly wonderful.<br />
<br />
Anyways I am just sending my thoughts into the cosmos of DevART...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ n a Pickle<br />
<br />
So I need either a second part time job or a better paying full time one. I'm barely making enough to live on...every time I try to save money I get thwarted because something comes up and I have to delve into saved money. There are a few things that I want/need that I can't afford right now. It's very inducing to self-deprecation. I feel like a loser because I am basically stuck in retain positions until I can go back to college. I can't afford to go back to college until I get my credit cleared up (which is in no small part screwed up by identity theft in the first place...that and getting violently ill without insurance...what a crime). So I'm tossing around ideas in my head. There are a few places I've looked into...called and whatnot. One was a call center place...I shudder to think how that would be from day to day being, essentially, a telemarketer. The good news is an "essential" telemarketer makes 11-12 bucks an hour and the company is located in Palatine. The position offers 25 hrs per week and steady hours...but I'm not sure. There are other crap jobs like working part-time at Jewel, Barnes and Noble, or Wal Mart...but yeah...I'd rather not get another minimum wage part-timer. It's really frustrating because I know that I am better than all of this and I can't figure out how to get myself out of this part-time can't-pay-the-bills paycheck to paycheck life I've slipped into. I also have to factor in the traveling issue...how will I get to work since I can't afford a car right now? lots of things on my mind. The only light in my tunnel right now is Shane. He makes me happy no matter what. I am so happy he's coming to see me. It'll be a reprieve in my (at present) hectic bill-ridden life. :smile and a sigh: I adore him <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />. :daydream.....:<br />
<br />
AHEM! back to the topic at hand I suppose I could go back into the household moving business...in Seattle I was making GREAT money...$12 an hour plus time and a half for any overtime. It's hard work but it's worth it when you get over a $1000 per pay check!<br />
<br />
I wish I could get a decent job using my artwork...but hey don't we all?<br />
<br />
Decisions decisions...any suggestions are welcome!!!<br />
Thank you to anyone who actually reads this and DOUBLE thanks to any who post replies!! Other than my incessant ranting this post I hope that you all have a great day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Today is amazing!!  It was so beautiful and I feel as though I am on cloud nine.  I noticed how the weather outside matched how I feel inside and I had to capture it.  I took an obscene amount of photos but only uploaded the best of what I took.  It's raw but I like them.  I may make alterations later but for now I am content.  what do you think?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah so no school for Amanda.  I can't be approved for the loan.  I have too many bills piling up and bad credit.  GGGRRRRRR!!!!!!  <br />
<br />
I have to pay all those bills first.  Then I'll reapply. <br />
<br />
On a good note I have a massive crush...which is, btw, returned <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />ANCE!:<br />
<br />
I love crushes <3  <br />
<br />
I guess what I will focus on is paying my bills this summer and applying again in the fall or spring of next year...in the meantime I'll be saving for a trip to Ireland...I can't wait!<br />
<br />
Anyways...I'm quite a mix of emotions right now...oh well such is life I suppose <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
Well that is all for today<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok so this Saturday I get to register for classes!!  YAYS!<br />
<br />
I am very excited about starting school at the Art Institute.  July 9th I believe is the summer start date and the I will be a digital photography major!<br />
<br />
I have the option of getting a "starter kit" through the school though I am not sure if I can.  It's about $1700 for the kit with the camera...IF i can get student loans to cover the cost I will probably go with that.  It's a very nice camera XD.  <br />
<br />
Sorry for not updating recently = \.  i've been sick as a dog and haven't done any work lately.  HOWEVER when I DO get my camera there will be no stopping me.  you will probably get sick of all the updating that will take place.  = P<br />
<br />
Anyways that's just an update on me for anyone who cares.  Back to movie watching on my day off.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so I just submitted my first prints.  I doubt I'll sell anything based on the response I recieved from my last post.  But hey why not try.  The only problem is that I can't figure out how to resize things in the DA print thingie.  Do I need to go into photoshop and resize the image?  HELP!!!!  If I don't have a print bigger than 5x5 I am pretty sure I'll lessen the odds of actually SELLING them. <br />
<br />
: sigh :<br />
<br />
I hope this makes more sense later...I just need to get my feet wet I suppose.  This is me trying.  <br />

Would you buy any of my pieces of art as a print?  If so, Which ones and why?<br />
<br />
I wouldn't mind some feed back and constructive critisism...what do you think my strengths are?  My weaknesses?  What, in your opinion, should I pursue?<br />
<br />
Please be honest (but kind lol).  Your input is appreciated!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while since I posted anything!  I lose.  I took some of these pictures a while ago.  I just now thought to post them and see what people thought.  It's mostly crude photography.  Things that made me breathless that I was compelled to capture.  Hope you like them.  Feel free to comment and critique.  Keep in mind that I took all the shots with the same crappy little digital camera.   I'd get better equipment if I could afford some.<br />
<br />
It's late.  I should go to bed.  Work tomorrow = \.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I submitted some old poems.  Tell me what you think of them please.  Which is your fave?  <br />
<br />
I'm very excited about a new project coming my way.  My room mates and I are wanting to put together a film.  We'll be adapting my play (a very strange parody of Scooby Doo with a cameo by Frank - N -Furter from RHPS) into a movie script and doing some amazing stuff.  Here's hoping it turns out better than I hope for. <br />
<br />
I can't wait!!<br />
<br />
It'll take lots of planning and a few months (at least) to put together but in the end it'll be worth it.  I'll let everyone know when it's done and you can view the final product.  <br />
<br />
Time to go watch the L word<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm thinking that I want to save up and get real photography equpiment and start doing some real photos, ya know?  Most of my stuff is photoshopped (and not very well since I am still a baby when it comes to the vast world of photoshop and all it's wanderful possiblities...) <br />
<br />
I want to keep doing my strange deviantions with photoshop but I want to do something more..."real"<br />
<br />
I also want to get back into my painting...I can't sketch for shit (though then again I never have the time to sit down and work on my form and technique...stupid me)<br />
I always did have  thing for painting though...<br />
<br />
If I had money and could do anything i wished I think I'd do nothing but create.  I'd write and Paint and photograph until my heart is content...<br />
<br />
:sigh:<br />
<br />
I'll work towards my goals and see what comes out of it...<br />
<br />
in the mean time please tell me what you think of what I have up.  Keep in mind that I am new!!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> <br />
<br />
Constructive critisism is appreciated!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so I know it's been a while since I posted any deviations but I have been crazy busy...and then the times that I am not I can't get on the net because all five of us house-mates have to share a compy (until my compy comes that is) so it's not very fair to others to use all their time to make thingies...so yeah...don't hate me...speaking of which I gotta go...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So do you ever feel the URGE? (and no I do NOT mean the urge to herbal)  I have it now...the urge to create.  But I feel a bit...blocked...<br />
<br />
I want to write and paint and take photos and all kinda of things.  There are so many different outlets I am not sure which to use...<br />
<br />
I guess that doesn't matter at the moment because I feel all this potential energy building up and yet it's not focused enough to be useable...<br />
<br />
Do I make sense at all when I say that?  <br />
:sigh:<br />
I rarely make sense except to certain people of course...people who can understand the chaos that is my mind are rare but do indeed exist...)<br />
<br />
Well it looks as if I am just going to have to endure this until it runs its course.  It will come out when it's ready to I suppose.  Creativity comes...at least for me...when I least expect it.  Things just begin to fall into place and happen and in the end I have the results and I can hardly believe that I had any part in its birth.  <br />
<br />
I'm rambling...a sure sign it is time to get some Z's<br />
Perhaps my dreams will guide me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
As you can see I do a LOT of surreal and abstract...call it a reflection of my thoughts and mind.  <br />
<br />
Hope you like what you see...feel free to comment and critique.<br />
