For Christmas..... HA!
All righty then. I have finals next week and then I AM DONE! For the semester anyway. It is a long Christmas break for sure, not used to that. Right now I'm in the college library because my laptop died but my step dad revived it lol I just have to go get it from them soon. I'm finishing my outline for speech class this afternoon and then I am freeee for the weekend. My boyfriend is taking me to a dinner and show tonight (Play-theater) and I am very excited! I don't really care about Christmas or the season but it should be fun this year. I get a lot of time with family now that I don't get usually so it's like you appreciate it more. Much more. I'm going to go grab some breakfast so.. Merry Christmas/thankgiving/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/Pegan/whatever Love you

Mmk So classes are going well, Thanksgiving is already coming up soon... I'm in a much better mood these days and all because I just.. don't care anymore lol
I've been super sick with something and all I can do is get to class, do my homework, and pass or fail. I love my fucking Doritos and lip stud (I got my lip pierced) and it is awesome! My boyfriend doesn't like it but he'll get used to it.
I'm really happy where I am right now for the most part. I still have a sucky job and sucky pay but I can't do a thing about it so I will let it pass.
NEWS! There is a meteor shower on the 17th!! It's supposed to be huge!!! Everyone should check it out.. peek hours are between Tuesday 11pm-Wednesday 5am See to it!

Alright, so I started college! I am enjoying my time in my apartment and using it as an art studio! I've been trying to update as much as possible and I'm busy with school, soon work, art ideas, and chatting lol! I am a regular at RainbowSanctuary and visitng iPhotograph.
So today I was walking out to my trashbin with my trash and there was a gentleman with a disability (walking very funny and slow and shaking but he looked youngerthan old) so I just figured no big deal and kept walking then he raised his hand to me and I waved back and I didn't notice he was flipping me off... and he just kept walking..
Very strange.
Alright well.. Have a great weekend!

Things I support:

Lightning, strike, strike, strike

Alright so power has gone out a total of... 6 times for about 1.4 seconds each! It's annoying and it keeps surging.. I love storms but the thunder in this one is scaring me a bit.
I saw the Harry Potter movie... it was a little TOO different from the book but a great movie overall.
Moving on.. Life is getting better.. I got a loan for my schooling and I get to find an apartment soon. The dorms are no longer an option - Waiting list was too long. so now I'm off into the real world fuck! My subscription is ending soon but I don't know if I will renew it yet or not. We shall see! I hope everything is well and everyone is having a divine summer! Carry

Extra, Extra
I am so hungry it isn't even funny... I'm at a friend's house and he just got a new kitten! His name is Onyx, like the stone. Awesome
My niece is home!!! It was almost "a mircle" the doctors said but they didn't wanna use that word lol She's home, eatting away, and chasing the dog.
Life is okay and I found out that I do not have a dorm for next school year. They "might have some vaccancies" when school starts but uhh... I want to get settled before school starts. I guess if I get an apartment, my cat could live with me. I would love that~ I dunno. Im scared to finally be on my own :/ I'm looking for apartments now online, not so good
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Prayers?

~LeighDegree23 — Thu, 28 May 2009 17:33:27 PDT

I don't know who believes in prayers or whatever but my awesome niece was diagnosed with Meningitis. It's serious but she's showing good signs.
She's not 2 years old yet, she seized and had a serious cough.
I've taken lots of pictures of her...

Anyway.. we got a call that she's going better but it's not for SURE if it's Bacterial or Viral. Bacterial is more serious and whatnot...
I really hope she doesn't have brain damage or crap like that. she's sooo intelligent and sweet! She knows freaking sign language and uses it with her words! she's awesome...
I hope everything works out okay.
Thank you

Soo a lot of my photography has turned into abstract or macro abstract.. Is this a good or bad thing ?
Maybe I'll just make a poll

Dream Series?

~LeighDegree23 — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:28:08 PDT

So I'm going to start writing short stories that tells the dreams I've been having. They are crazy, detailed, and weird. They make no sense yet seem to flow together.
I hope you will read my first one: Indian Dream. Please check it out! I'd appreciate it greatly.. They are short so don't worry they aren't long and detailed.
Please let me know what you think. I really hope people who are watching me can comment more on my stuff.

Subscription T__T

~LeighDegree23 — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 09:33:15 PDT

Haa.. well.. My subscription runs out tomorrow and well of course I don't have the money on my card to buy a new one (awesome person hacked/got in to the bank system so they deactivated everyone's debit cards)
Dunno when I'll be able to get a new one... and I don't have lots of "watchers" who just go out and buy me a new one everytime mine runs out.. oh well
I took a few pictures of my cat, KiYoshi, with a ribbon on her collar... I might add them... not sure yet..
Hope everyone has an awesome Spring Break!! What are you doing? -- See my poll!!

~LeighDegree23 — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:49:25 PST

So, I have uploaded a few new pictures, new style, too. I'm not sure what to think about it, ya know?
It's been a while and I can ate real food again! Hurrrah! I hope my recent uplaods weren't a disaster to your inbox, I apologize.
Hope you all enjoy.

I have my first forensics meet with my Serious Solo and I don't have it memorized -__- I need to get on that, ASAP.
Oh well. Have a great day, night, or week!

I Have Disgust

~LeighDegree23 — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:13:36 PST

Begin rant:
I look at various types of art here on dA, i love drawings, photography, fractal, abstract, ceramics, and much more. But there's one thing I can't stand, distasteful nudity.
I've seen sensible nudity and GREAT artistic nudes but this is so different...
I recently a look a Newest Deviations at the home page of dA and browsed and commented on some really nice art. I favorited and commented on several pieces but I saw MANY things I was almost offended to see, distastful nudity. Fingers up vaginas, an entire gallery of huge saggy boobs (that was it), and random various....extremities. Now I have favorited and commented on nudity, I think when its drawn or photo'd (spelling?) properly it looks great!
But when it comes to just taking random pictures of you naked to get views its terrible. There's no concept and no real title, no description except "ME!or MY friend naked"
Does anyone else see this?! Am I crazy? Personally I hate drawings of nudes anime but im not going into that... usualy its Hentai but i guess its art.....
/rant

Oh.. I can't get banned for this... can I? lol I hope not. I'm not flaming anyone its just an opinion and I'm not saying I'm only right...
Just curious how other's feel

2009!

~LeighDegree23 — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 09:51:07 PST

Well Tonight is New Year's Eve.
As for tonight, anyone got any plans or New Year Resolutions?

I'm not sure if I'm ready for 2009.
This is the year I have been looking foreward to all my life, graduation and starting college. Moving away from home in 6 months.
I'm super scared, I'm not going to lie.
I'm really happy where my art is going but I really don't know where it is going to take me, if anywhere.
I don't know if I can use it for college since I'm going to medical and not art school. Please pray for me if you can.

Dear secret Santa..

~LeighDegree23 — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:07:05 PST

~LeighDegree23 — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:57:42 PDT

I don't know... I took pictures of my prom dress and put them on facebook so my boyfriend can't see them till prom.. kind of a "do not open til Christmas" deal haha
This week went okay..
Monday was normal.. back from Spring break

Wednesday, my mom and I went to wichita and I had a heart sonogram.. to see whats wrong with it.. we still dont know

Im taking my flute solo and choir solo April 12th to regionals.. im so excited.. I think my choir solo will go farther this year im excited

Moving on

~LeighDegree23 — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:32:07 PST

Sometimes life gives you reminders why you made a decision in the past.
Today was one of those days. But we must move on and try to remember why we made those decisions.
My cousin and aunt are coming from Raleigh, NC but their flight wasa delayed due to snow in one of their stops to get here so they won't be here til tomorrow morning instead of tonight.
Now I'm getting sleepy and bored... I hope we have some excitment for tonight.. I'm being lazy... lol
I submitted a literature piece.. I really liked it. I wrote it in History class with some inspiration.
haha... whatever... Tomorrow I have a lot of tests.

New system?

~LeighDegree23 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:14:43 PST

Feb 12th
So I guess there is a new system on the front page and I am totally lost... I dont get how it works but I did notice the lack of variety of art on it. It seems to be the same type, just different ideas and artists. I'd rather see more literature, drawings, traditional, and a balanced amount of photography.
I'm super tired now... My spanish teacher who I have bible study with, we are very close with her, had a miscarriage.. we was pregnant since end of December. It was a very sad event. My Mom had 3 miscarriages before she had me. My brother and I were the strong ones
Now I'm just emotionally tired and i need to work out before I go see my boyfriend. Blech. I have bowling tomorrow at The Alley in wichita.. whatever..tired

-------------------------

Feb 11th, 2008.
Good morning everyone... its currently 7:23am. I slept well and I hope you did, too. lol I have no life. anyway i started taking more pictures.. last night i got bored enough to start working out some and take random action shots of myself doing Handstands. they look funny.. lmao.. Anyway... Take a look at my scraps if you wanna see.. not in my gallery of course, they are just for fun.
Anyway, I have to be at school by 7:40am for Girls glee... and it takes 7 minutes to get there.. ciao.

----------------------------

Words to Live by

~LeighDegree23 — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 09:34:22 PST

Just something to think about.. I love these songs:

Look - I Find Some Of What You Teach
Suspect
Because I'm Used To Relying On Intellect
But I Try To Open Up To What I Don't Know

Because Reason Says I Should Have Died
Three Years Ago

there's only us
there's only this
forget regret
or life is yours to miss

No Other Road
No Other Way
No Day But Today

Also another:

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

New and Improved

~LeighDegree23 — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 08:55:58 PST

For Christmas I got the Camera that I've been taking pictures with that I've uploaded.
But I've been taking pictures and photography for several years... and I love every minute of it. I really appriciate the people that since I've made an account I've gotten a few favorites and comments already. Thank you.

The Camera Im using is a Canon EOS Rebel XTi, 10 mp
If anyone has any tips in using it I might/probably don't know yet please feel free to share!

Now if you'll excuse.. I got to go to work soon for my 8 hour shift
