                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone who, for reasons I do not know, have their friends list checks to alert them that I have written a new journal entry, or for those of you who are curious. Either way, I have begun uploading images again, though, like why it discourages me so much, I am terribly backlogged, and I do not have enough time in my life to put the signature on every piece I want to upload, so at first these are older ones I already had the signature on, then I'll be moving to some work that was considered for my BFA Portfolio, but did not get in, then the work that did (If is isn't already up). Let me know what you think, I always reply to comments (well written ones that is.... SuspendedCord, you know who you are).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A re-posting for a friend...<br /><br />* * * * * * * *<br /><br />No offense, but ... People are getting too fake on me . They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually repost this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and repost in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Repost this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'<br /><br />True friends will read and repost this. Fake friends will just ignore it<br /><br />* * * * * * *<br /><br />I hope this helps.<br /><br />~Stars*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I recently finished the first steps in creating my own web page to display, and later, sell prints of my artwork. I'm really excited because a bunch of my friends have seen it and think it's great. Let me know what you all think. <br /><br />It took me quite a while to get it to this point and there is still a lot to do. I need to figure out how to make it possible to sell prints to people. I also need to figure out shipping and such. I'll have to make some trips to the post office....<br /><br /><a href="http://thoughtsandminds.webs.com/index.htm">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I may not until summer, and who knows then. I have so many that I need to go through, I get more every day, but I haven't had time to go through them. So I wanted to let you know I was not gone, that none of you were forgotten, just that I am taking a break, and that I hope to be back to putting up artwork soon...<br /><br />~Stars*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

The photographs I am posting now are still back-logged photographs from nearly a year ago that I am only now able to go through and pick out the best of. I have so many, so I decided to keep up with the sorting, rather than post new work. I hope none of you mind. These upcoming pieces are some of my favorites...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Thank you, every one, or your support and friendship. I am sorry I haven't posted any new work soon. I have been working on a project for school during this spring break and it is finally finished. It's nice to have that weight off my shoulders. I have been going through my work and I will be uploading my work soon. It is still old work that I am going through, and it seems to be taking far too long. I hope to be done before next school year begins, but I cannot imagine going through that many photographs in only five months. I hope I haven't disappointed any of you with crappy work.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With twenty-six watchers and over seven-hundred page-views, I think I am getting popular... This is almost odd for me. I have never been liked this much anywhere... I have been known, more like <i>infamous</i>, but never <i>liked</i>... It's kind of cool. I have been putting up only the best of the best of my thousands of photographs so that those of you watching me do not have to look at junk that isn't even worth the scraps category. I know I have watched people and had to look at poor-quality photographs of people/animals taken without thought to composition or any censorship prior to submission. I believe a deviation is something beautiful and meaningful, not junk.... Perhaps this is a rant, perhaps this is a mindless scribble, but I thought I would explain, if only to myself, why I put up what I do, and why I watch people. I also want to perhaps explain why this account is so much more popular than my previous account. I only put up the best, and I hope it brings you joy to see my work on your deviantWatch.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello again. It seems I have a birthday coming up. I have given up on the concept of a huge party, instead limiting myself to two small get togethers: one at a dance club back home with close friends, another small one here at school with school friends. I don't want the stress of a big party that almost no one shows up for anyway. The problem with my friends back home was that most did not drive. If they could not get a ride, or the weather was too nasty (as it commonly is this time of year) to walk, few show up, or for not very long.<br /><br />My birthday is on that day when everyone in any Irish center loves to party and get drunk off green beer. I am and have always been sober, tasting and being completely disgusted by alcohol of any kind. I see no point in using such substances when I am insane enough as it is... And I fear what would happen if I were to try a mind-altering substance... Mother nature quakes at the thought, as so do I.<br /><br />Well, I doubt there will be anything big here on dA for St. Patrick's Day, for which I am glad. I try to keep my life as simple as possible, no small task in a world like mine. If you wish to say Happy Birthday to be, though, I will not get angry at you. I am very glad I am alive.<br /><br />Something I thought was interesting was that =Flutterings decided to have the theme of this month's poetry competition "Love." I have hundreds of love poems and was happy to enter this one because I hope others find someone who shares their affection and love, as I have.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey, I was tagged by *sherryetal to do this, so I guess I must.<br /><br />The rules are:<br /><br />1. Post these rules.<br />2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.<br />3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts.<br />4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named.<br />5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged. <br /><br /><br />Okay... Here it goes...<br /><br />1. I play the viola and have since I was nine. It can have such energy and vibrancy, but most people try to play it like a violin and it's too pretty sounding. I think there should be more angst.<br /><br />2. I am bisexual, though I am in a committed relationship.<br /><br />3. (this one is related to #2, but it is still random) I have one tattoo: a ring around my left ring finger. We aren't technically married yet, but it is inevitable. <br /><br />4. I hate most girls I encounter with a passion. They are ditsy, stupid, and try to force their femme-ness on me. I don't want to be any girlier than I feel at that moment.<br /><br />5. I got a 3.93 my first semester at college and got on the President's List. (I don't like to brag, but I couldn't think of anything.)<br /><br />6. I have a 'thing' for blood. I don't know why, but... I just do...<br /><br />7. My favorite television station has to be The Science Channel... making my Geology class this semester easier than sh*t.<br /><br />8. I make chainmail jewelry with my significant other. <br /><br />I guess I have to tag a few people now.... Hmm....<br /><br />1. Shinigami-Hikari<br />2. rawscientist<br />3. SeasideSuicide21<br />4. dansterthehusky<br />5. sOoObEaUtIfUl<br />6. sourcow<br />7. el-torito<br />8. Star-Maiden<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been posting a lot recently, of both new and old (year old) work. It is painstaking and kind of annoying, but it is worth it to create a more professional gallery. I have been attempting some self-promotion, not just on her, but also outside, in the real world. I haven't had much success. I plan to submit quite a bit of my work to art shows that will be coming up soon, though, so I hope that will help. <br /><br />I have also created business cards, though they have to be printed, so I can hand them out and such to people interested in my work. I tried creating a site where I could display my work as well as sell the pieces (shipping and such) though it didn't really work out. I am thinking of buying a url and building a site from there. It isn't extremely difficult, just time consuming, like everything else in this business.<br /><br />This summer I doubt I will have much time for art. I will be trying to work as much as possible so that I will actually have money, instead of debts (like all college students). I hope to have as much work as possible up in my gallery by then, which is why I go through and do ten, or so, at a time. Sorry to all those who watch me and get a whole bunch all at once if they don't check it for a couple of days.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello every one,<br /><br />This is Ice-Blue Stars speaking, formerly known as darkkaya, though no more. I decided to clean up my account, to have one more as a portfolio than a dumping ground. I hope you like my work. All of the work I have submitted (so far) have been taken with my Nikon D50 that I got the middle of last summer. I have taken over 3,000 photographs with it since then and there is no sign of my slowing down. I try to make every one count, but as I get better, more and more of my older work looks mediocre and less and less looks actually good. So I am going though all of my photographs, folder by folder, and picking out my favorites. I hope you like them as much, or more, than I do.<br /><br />~Ice-Blue Stars*<br /><br /> ]]></description>
