I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, I swear!  In fact, the idea for this journal was born from a recent conversation I had about Twitter and its different uses. ]]> http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/deviantART-s-first-ever-town-hall-meeting-219624607 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/deviantART-s-first-ever-town-hall-meeting-219624607 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 22:33:50 PDT deviantART's first ever town hall meeting! nonadult journals/personal Heidi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heidi.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 $Heidi @NiteHeidi On Thursday, March 31st, deviantART held our first ever town hall meeting at Shakey's Pizza in Los Angeles.  Not to be confused with the Shakey's in Hollywood.  (Who told you the town hall was being held in Hollywood?!  That person is clearly an idiot.  That's what we call an inside joke, friends!)  All kidding aside, the goal of our event was simply to interact with fellow community members and hold informal discussions about all things deviantART -- ranging from new features and upgrades, to issues about art theft, to site functionality, Points, search, and everything inbetween.  Due to the fact that w ]]> http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/A-Trollface-April-Fools-214248153 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/A-Trollface-April-Fools-214248153 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:12:25 PDT A Trollface April Fools'! nonadult journals/deviantart/blog Heidi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heidi.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 $Heidi @NiteHeidi http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/All-about-me-and-how-about-you-219778719 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/All-about-me-and-how-about-you-219778719 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:42:46 PDT All about me, and how about you? nonadult journals/personal Heidi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heidi.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 $Heidi @NiteHeidi When are you happiest?
Anytime the sun is shining and I'm outside doing something active.

What is your greatest fear?
Getting stuck in an elevator (or any small space).

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Selfishness.

What's been your most embarrassing moment?
In college, for my public speaking class, I had to give a five minute speech with no notes.  Things were going swimmingly for the first few minutes, until I noticed a girl in the front of the class who kept nodding her head and agreeing with me.  I became so distracted that I forgot my train of thought and ended up not speaking for 10 seconds -- ]]> http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/Once-upon-a-time-I-received-an-acorn-219954086 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/Once-upon-a-time-I-received-an-acorn-219954086 Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:50:28 PDT Once upon a time I received an acorn nonadult journals/personal Heidi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heidi.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 $Heidi @NiteHeidi Once upon a time, while at deviantART headquarters, I left my office to grab a soda.  Upon returning to my desk and sitting down at the computer, I found that the world's most perfect acorn had been left on my keyboard.  After a little sleuthing, I learned that my magical acorn had been gifted to me by none other than Captain Fast himself (aka :devpachunka:, aka Simon).

The following recounts how the glorious acorn came into Simon's, and then my, possession.

I've made no secret about my love for fan fiction (or more specifically, Legend of the Seeker, Glee, and Fringe related stories).  If you've never read fan fiction, don't judge.  There are a handful of writers in each fandom that produce epic masterpieces -- stories that are far better and more in-depth than anything you could ever watch in one season of a show, let alone a one hour episode.  These are stories of substance that evoke an emotional response, create vivid imagery, and take you on a journey from start to finish.  And often, they're not short.  I've read tales that ha ]]> http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/deviantART-on-the-Cover-of-Entrepreneur-Magazine-214245137 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/deviantART-on-the-Cover-of-Entrepreneur-Magazine-214245137 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 02:33:15 PST deviantART on the Cover of Entrepreneur Magazine! nonadult journals/deviantart/blog Heidi http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heidi.gif?7 Copyright 2011-2013 $Heidi @NiteHeidi http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/Official-Austin-Texas-deviantMEET-Join-us-214244687 http://heidi.deviantart.com/journal/Official-Austin-Texas-deviantMEET-Join-us-214244687 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:46:11 PST Official Austin, Texas deviantMEET!
