                <description><![CDATA[ <div align="center"><sub><br />And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight,<br />You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night,<br />And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might...</sub></div><br /><br />Well, it's been forever and ever since I've updated my journal, so I thought I'd give anyone interested a quick peek at the current life of *<a class="u" href="http://miss-rita.deviantart.com/">Miss-Rita</a>:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> I've started college, again! I've got five classes, and they're all pretty easy for the most part. I'm taking College Success, College Composition, Psychology, Algebra II (for two and a half hours, icky!), and US History. It's a lot of work, but I know that I can do it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> I spent Labor Day weekend with Josh, and let's just say that it was one of the best weekends of my life...but I know that even better ones are around the corner. I know he probably won't ever see this, but everyone should know that I'm crazy in love with that boy. I get to see him again in November! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> I'm getting a new car next week! Yay me! It's a Stratus, and it was my grandpa's, but since he died and it's not being used, my grandma is giving it to me. How wonderful is she?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> I had my twenty-first birthday back on the tenth! Thank you so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. You guys are awesome. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/party2.gif" width="36" height="38" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> I got my hair cut, finally! It's super cute, so I'll have to post pictures once my face clears up. It's time for a new ID anyways. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />That's all I can think of to add for now! Life is busy, but it's so amazing.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div align="center"><sub>I'm insecure, sure, I can't commit...<br />it's not my finest trait I'm not too proud to admit.</sub></div><br /><br />As the title suggests, I'll be heading up to Anthrocon in about four days in order to see my boyfriend and hang out with the All Fur Radio crew. If you are, by chance, going to be there too, lemme know and we can meet up! It should be tons of fun, but really, I'm just looking forward to being with Josh again. This is just an expensive excuse to go see him! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Speaking of expensive, I'm completely out of money thanks to this trip, so if you want to be a cool bean and donate a sub to this now very poor girl, I would appreciate it greatly. You have no idea.<br /><br />Ah, what else? Well, I have a shiny new computer, and as of today I have officially re-installed Photoshop Elements, so now I'll be good to create again! Yay! I'm also planning on uploading some pictures to deviantArt once I get them off of my memory card. <br /><br />Hmm, what else?! I don't know if anyone actually reads this anymore, so if you do and want to know something specific that's going on, lemme know! Otherwise...well, uh...yup. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/paranoid.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":paranoid:" title="They're all out to get me..." /><br /><br />Oh, and remember to tune into my show on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays! Obviously I won't be able to DJ while I'm at Anthrocon, but maybe I'll be able to sneak onto my boyfriends show. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Alright, I poof mao!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="stamps"><i><div align="center">  Oh, if you wanna pump it  Pump it loud!  If you wanna shake it  Shake it now!  If you got your ticket  Join the crowd!  Move to the music,  Move to the music, come on!  </div></i></div><br /><br /><div class="content">Coming out of what, *<a class="u" href="http://miss-rita.deviantart.com/">Miss-Rita</a>, I thought you had a boyfriend?<br /><br />Well, I do! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> I mean to say that I'm 'coming out' of my so-called closet to let you guys know that I am now officially a DJ. Mind you, I'm not your average DJ. No sir!<br /><br />I work for an internet station that's trying to get its feet off the ground, and I'd love it if I could get my deviantArt family involved too! For those of you who are interested, read on!<br /><br />My schedule is as follows:<br />(All times are Central)<br />Tuesday - 7pm to 10pm<br />Wednesday - 9pm to 12am<br />Saturday - 9pm to 11pm (possibly until 12am) <br /><br />If you want to listen (there are many other awesome DJs to listen to, too! Make sure to check them out as well), then I will be more than happy to let you all know how, but first, I feel like I should let you know the particular nature of my station. It's 'furry' based, but we have plenty of non-furry listeners, and DJs, myself included. I play a game that caters to the community, and All Fur Radio has become like my second family over the past year. Becoming a DJ has been in my interests for awhile now, and I've finally taken the steps to doing so. My very first show was this past Tuesday, and it was, in my opinion, a smashing success. I really hope that my deviantArt family is interested in tuning in as well!<br /><br />How to listen?<br />I'll be letting #Fun4Fun know exactly when I'm on, but if you want to listen at any old time, as we do have an Auto-DJ that plays 24/7, and of course, other DJs on the schedule, go to:<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://furradio.allfurradio.com">[link]</a><br />or visit our site at:<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.allfurradio.com/furcadia/">[link]</a><br /><br />I'm listed on the schedule and the staff page as DJ Caelia, as that is the name of my 'character' on Furcadia, just one of the games that All Fur Radio broadcasts too. They also have a branch on SecondLife.<br /><br />So let me know what you guys think, and tell me if you're gonna be there on Saturday to hear me on the radio. I take requests and dedications!<br /><br />Thanks guys! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /></div><br /><br /><div class="credits"><a href="http://boingowoingo.deviantart.com/art/Journal-CSS-CODER-NEEDED-114974891">Graphics</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://boingowoingo.deviantart.com/">BoingoWoingo</a> and CSS by =<a class="u" href="http://moonfreak.deviantart.com/">moonfreak</a></div><a href="http://my.deviantart.com/journal/edit/24753165#">[link]</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i><div align="center">She sees love, where anyone else would see weeds. <br />All hope is found.<br />Here is everything he needs. <br /></div></i><br /><br /><div class="title">The Life of Miss-Rita</div><br /><br />It's been awhile, hasn't it? That would be due to the super crazy busy life that I've been living lately. It's been fun though, I can't deny it. Hawaii was everything I wanted it to be and more, and I had an amazing time with my boyfriend and his family. We created some lovely memories there, and I'd love to go back with him someday. You guys can tell that I took a couple of pictures there, since I had posted a few before I took off again, but there are more that I will submit later on.<br /><br />So what else have I been up to? A lot!<br /><br />I am an aunt, again, this time to the handsome Conrad and Caeleb. They're fraternal twins, and for twins, they were big boys at birth! Conrad, the younger, was 6lbs and 15oz, while Caeleb, the elder by a full minute, was 6lbs 10oz. Both were somewhere around 19inches. Happy news, yes? Well...there's more.<br /><br />Somewhere within a week of the babies being home from the hospital, the boys went in for a little check-up with their doctor. Conrad was pretty jaundiced, so he had to go in for a little blood test (Ouch!) and, after three more to confirm, they found that his sodium was much too low, and his potassium levels were way too high (this can be potentially fatal). So like that, half the family was packed and on their way to the nearest children's hospital. A week or so later, we finally found that little Conrad has been diagnosed with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. The short version? He'll need hormone replacements for the rest of his life, but he'll live a pretty normal life otherwise. However, while at the hospital, he developed an infection in his tummy, but luckily the antibiotics helped so he doesn't need surgery. My brother, the father, was flown in quickly from Iraq thanks to the Red Cross. So all is well (as well as can be considered) on that front, and Conrad is finally off of his feeding tube as of today. Please keep him, Caeleb, his mom and dad, and his older brother in your thoughts and prayers please. He's not quite out of the woods yet, but he is doing so much better than before.<br /><br />Of course, while all of this was going on, I had to drive my sister to the ER because her sugars (she's a Diabetic) were up and over 732. She had a mild DKA, and could've gone into a coma. Luckily we got her in and treated pretty quickly, so she's doing fine now.<br /><br />Fun times, right?<br />...Right?<br /><br />Well, other than all of that business, it actually has been fun, but let me tell you this; I am glad to be home. Though, awesomely enough, I did manage to get a short visit with Josh on my way back to my house. Yay! I miss him already though. Boo.<br /><br />That's all that I can think of to update you guys on now, but I am going to try and be more active. I have a slew of pictures to submit and get opinions on!<br /><br />Until next time, take care!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://bazzabent.deviantart.com"><img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z168/bazzabent/Seasons/credit.png"></img></a></div> ]]></description>

It's been awhile since I've updated, I know, but here I am, letting you all know that I am indeed live and well.</p><br /><p>Why the beach scene, you ask? Isn't it January *<a class="u" href="http://miss-rita.deviantart.com/">Miss-Rita</a>? Shouldn't it be snowing? Well, I have an answer for that, yes I do. This little birdy is going south for the winter. Yes, south. But *<a class="u" href="http://miss-rita.deviantart.com/">Miss-Rita</a>, you're already south! Yes, yes I am, but this time I'm going a little lower...and a lot west. To...Hawaii! <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://Larentia-Ariadne.deviantart.com/art/hula-dance-2-61511776"><img src="http://fc59.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/287/0/b/0bd219084ec3bab1.gif" width="23" height="18" /></a></span></span></p><br /><p>Oh yeah, I'm all sorts of excited. I'll be leaving in ten days, and I'll be there for a week. How exciting! I've never been, and I've been given a wonderful, generous opportunity by my boyfriend's family to go. While the prospect of spending a week with them makes me more than a little nervous, I hope it will help me relax when I'm around them. So, wish me luck on that front, please!</p><br /><p>While I'm there, I'll be taking <i>tons</i> of pictures if I can, so you'll be sure to see some activity on my submissions coming up. I've also been working on another little picture, but I've got a bunch of other projects that I've been working on, as well as a commission that isn't deviantART related. That, in particular, is going to be my main focus since I promised that I would try to have it done in less than a month, but with some drama in my life, I've been a little jaded to working on it. It's a long story, but it's nothing to worry about. </p><br /><p>Alright, well I think that's it for me! If any of you have ever been to Hawaii, let me know some cool places I should check out, or things that I can do that are relatively cheap, please! I hope you're all doing wonderfully. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /></p></div><br /><br /><div class="credit">Journal coded by =<a class="u" href="http://abfc.deviantart.com/">Abfc</a><br />Background by *<a class="u" href="http://hotburrito2.deviantart.com/">hotburrito2</a></div> ]]></description>

I'm hopefully going out to see him again in January, and I'll almost definitely be seeing him in February. He makes me so happy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /><br /><br /><div class="title">Christmas:</div> <br />For the record, I don't buy into that 'happy holidays' nonsense. I celebrate Christmas, so I am going to wish other people a merry Christmas. If you celebrate something else, or even nothing at all, that's fine. Just don't stomp on my Christmas cheer and bah humbug, mm'kay? Anywho...<br /><br />Christmas shopping is hard (and expensive)! I'm suddenly glad that I have a pretty small family, though every year it seems to grow a little more. Speaking of! Guess whose going to be an Aunt again!? Me! You're right! Here, have a cookie. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cookie.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cookie:" title="Cookie" /><br /><br />My sister-in-law is pregnant with <i>twin</i> boys. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> How crazy is that! They're fraternal (they aren't going to look alike) and are due sometime in April. Unfortunately, that's a month after my brother, her husband, deploys to Iraq, so it's likely that my mom and I will travel back up to Washington in order to lend a hand, or two. Maybe three.<br /><br />Oh, so I was talking about Christmas! What are you looking forward to finding under your tree? Do you have any favorite traditions, songs, etc.? And if you don't celebrate, why not? Do you celebrate something else?<br /><br />Well, whether you celebrate or not, have a wonderful time, be safe, and smile!<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xmas.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":xmas:" title="Christmas Tree" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xmassanta.gif" width="22" height="20" alt=":santa:" title="Santa Clause" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

For those out there who scream how terrible we are, and I mean the Americans who do this...if you don't like it the way it is, then make the effort to do something about it. Don't just sit there and complain. Go out and do something productive while you're complaining. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" /><br /><br />/rant<br /><br />C'mon! You know you're excited, and if you're not excited, you know you're happy that all of the campaigning is finally going to be done and over with.</p> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /><br /><br />Update:<br />I'm so happy, I am really about to cry. Congratulations, Senator Obama, and thank you McCain for your genuine concession speech.<br /><br />I'm so damn proud to be an American. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br />USA!

                <description><![CDATA[ Here's a questionnaire that I 'stole' from *<a class="u" href="http://jeregrettebcoup.deviantart.com/">jeregrettebcoup</a>. Feel free to steal it too.<br /><br /><b>When were you happiest?</b><br />I believe that there will come a time when I'm even happier then I am today.<br /><br /><b>What is your greatest fear?</b><br />Heights. I get on top of something tall and my immediate thought is that I'm going to fall to my death. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hmm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":hmm:" title="hmm" /><br /><br /><b>What is your earliest memory?</b><br />I'm sitting in a stroller at a park and two men (presumably my uncles) with big ugly beards and 80s sunglasses are staring down at me.<br /><br /><b>What is the trait you most deplore in others?</b><br />Rudeness.<br /><br /><b>What is your most treasured possession?</b><br />Actual Value; An ivory necklace given to me by my grandmother, given to her by my grandfather. <br />Sentimental Value; A letter, a picture, and a necklace.<br /><br /><b>Where would you like to live?</b><br />I'm not sure yet, but it can't be too humid and I would like to have a nearby body of water.<br /><br /><b>What would your super power be?</b><br />Telekinesis would be cool.<br /><br /><b>When did you last cry, and why?</b><br />Erm, I'll just say that it was recently and it was because I was upset. Der.<br /><br /><b>Aside from a property, what's the most expensive thing you've bought?</b><br />My flute.<br /><br /><b>What would your motto be?</b><br />Once you hit rock bottom, things can only start to look up.<br /><br /><b>What makes you depressed?</b><br />The news. My body. Thinking about how hard life is going to be.<br /><br /><b>What do you most dislike about your appearance?</b><br />As a female I could list at least a hundred things, but the number one thing would have to be my weight.<br /><br /><b>What is your guiltiest pleasure?</b><br />I don't feel so guilty about enjoying the time I spend on the computer.<br /><br /><b>Which living person do you most despise, and why?</b><br />Honestly? At the moment, my brother. <br /><br /><b>If you could go back in time, where would you go?</b><br />Honestly, I'm not sure. The 50s would be cool though.<br /><br /><b>How do you relax?</b><br />Music. Music. Music. Nothing soothes me faster then a good mixture of songs.<br /><br /><b>What's the closest you've come to death?</b><br />I was nearly shot at a Taco Bell once. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/i/imslow.gif" width="19" height="19" alt=":slow:" title="Slow" /><br /><br /><b>Tell us a joke.</b><br />What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?<br />Dam! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/trout.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":trout:" title="Trout" /><br /><br />Personal News:<br />I still don't have a sub. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />I moved to Virginia...and then I moved again! I'm still in the good ol' Vagina state though. We simply moved to a different house because my dad got promoted! Something better was available, and since 75% of our stuff was still in boxes anyways, we hand moved it all into the nicer house. Fun, eh? We've only just emptied the other house. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />For the record, three people is not enough to handle roughly 75,000lbs (Around 25,000lbs is what we have, but it took us once to load it, twice to unload, once more to unpack it) of shit. Yes, shit. Not stuff. It made the transition as follows; Stuff, Junk, Crap, Shit. It took about three days for that to happen. Needless to say, I'm exhausted and my body hates me.<br /><br />Um, what else? OH YEAH.<br />Remember that secrety goodness of awesome that I kept hinting about? Well, it happened! I met my boyfriend (gosh, it feels funny saying that) for the first time this summer on the journey to Vagina Land. It went well. Better then well, in fact. We're meeting again in October. YAY. So yes. Good times. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />That's all for now! How has everyone been?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I figured I would post one more time before I get the heck out of Dodge, seeing as how I won't have a computer for quite a bit anyways. Yup, it's official. This girl is leaving town for good. Huzzah!<br /><br />Today, tomorrow, and the day after that the movers are here, the next day they pick up all our stuff (read; crap), one more day for the final inspection, and then boom baby, we're hitting the open road!<br />Personally, I can't wait. I <i>need</i> to get out of here. Don't get me wrong, Washington is lovely. I just need more then it can offer me right now. So off I go, to see how life by the other ocean is. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />Good news though, I <b>finally</b> got my hard drive! Yup, this girly-girl will be (hopefully) submitting like mad when she gets back online. I've got so many ideas written down and planned out, now I just need to y'know...do it. So yeah, pretty exciting there.<br /><br />Um, what else? Oh yeah. Moar secrety goodness going on. I can't wait to share with you guys when I get back, but for now it's all hushhush. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shh.gif" width="17" height="19" alt=":shh:" title="Shh" /><br /><br />OKAY I LOVE YOU ALL, TAKE CARE, AND HAVE TONS O' FUN. luffluffluff. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> </p><br /><br /> ]]></description>

My sub will be running out soon! Boo. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />Aside from that, life is grrrreat! I'll be leaving Washington in thirteen days, and until then it's packing and cleaning. Exciting, right? In a way, it actually is. I'm completely psyched to move. I really hope that Virginia is going to open a lot of doors for me. Right now, I'm at a point in my life where there will be some serious changes going on, and they're all for the better.<br /><br />So speaking of betterness...something terribly exciting just <i>might</i> happen on the way to Virginia, but I'm going to keep mum about it for now. Plain and simple, it's a good thing and it makes me nervous. Details to come later. Maybe. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/paranoid.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":paranoid:" title="They're all out to get me..." /><br /><br />So um...yeah! Anywho, life is good and I'm still short on cash, as evidenced by more lack of activity but for the occasional writing that might be going up. Why must external hard drives be so expensive? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br /><br />Alright, I've rambled enough. I hope everyone is having an excellent summer! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /><br /><br />For the record, I'm not actually nervous, I'm excited.

I've been more absent than I thought! I finally plowed through most of my message center today, and ended up deleting quite a bit. I really do hope to become more active in the dA community once again, but at the moment, with my numerous computer issues, it's proving to be very hard to be active in...anything internet related. I can't even upload pictures at this point without a world of hassle.<br /><br />I should have my computer problems fixed soon, as I plan on <i>finally</i> buying that external hard drive I've been talking about. If all else fails, I will be getting a new computer after I move.<br /><br />Speaking of moving, I do actually have an excuse for being absent once again very soon. Inspection starts the thirteenth, so everything before then will be a whirlwind of cleaning. I'm seriously cutting down on all of my possessions, but I like to think of it as more of a cleansing than a loss. <br /><br />Well anyways, besides all of that, life has been really really good to me lately. I'll leave it at that. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br /><br />How has everyone been?

(lolwut?)<br /><br />If I haven't featured you and you would like to be featured, shoot me a comment on here and possibly give me one deviation you would like to see featured. <br /><br />Or.<br /><br />If you have someone you would like to see featured, or even if you just find some cool, under appreciated artist with the very awesome Random Deviant button, hook a sister up and tell me about them. <br /><br />Go on. Do it!<br /><br />In the meantime, I'm pimping `<a class="u" href="http://mrcrapinson.deviantart.com/">Mrcrapinson</a>s "Funny" Comic Contest: <a href="http://mrcrapinson.deviantart.com/journal/17094920/">[link]</a><br /><br />GO CHECK IT OUT NAO, PLZKTHNX.<br /><br /><div class="title">Personal News:</div><p><br />It's Spring Break, even though it's not really Spring-like outside yet. Crazy, I know. All the same, I'm going to Seattle for two days. Yeah, weird place for a Spring Break, but whatever. I'm not in school anyways. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/paranoid.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":paranoid:" title="They're all out to get me..." /><br /><br />So! I will be taking lots of pictures with my awesome camera while I'm there, so you can at least expect that much from me soon.<br /><br />Other than that and getting drunk, I really only have one more peice of information for anyone who cares. I am moving to...<br /><br />Virginia.<br /><br />Yup. In June/July, I'll be making my way there with my familia. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. So if you've been there, live there now, or whatever, it would be really cool if you could give me some tips/advice/information about the area.<br /><br />One more thing...<br /><a href="http://miss-rita.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/i/miss-rita.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmiss-rita:" title="miss-rita"/></a><a href="http://meowmix22.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meowmix22.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeowmix22:" title="meowmix22"/></a><a href="http://miseryunknown.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/i/miseryunknown.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmiseryunknown:" title="miseryunknown"/></a></p></p><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i><div align="center">Let the word out, I've got to get out.<br />Oh, I'm feeling better now!<br />Break the news out, I've got to get out.<br />Oh, I'm feeling better now!</div></i><br /><br /><br /><div class="title">dA Stuff:</div><p>  I've been ridiculously inactive lately, as far as the community goes. I've been <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plusfav.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":+fav:" title="+fav" />ing and running, which is something I don't usually do. When I have the time, I'll try my best to go back and comment.<br /><br />Also; I'd love to get back into the forums again, because lets face it...the people over there rock my non-existent toe socks off. Seriously. That, and there is much less drama!<br /><br />Still, dAmn is pretty cool when you're just up for a quick talk, and I've met a lot of really wonderful people with it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br />Go check it out if you haven't already. It's that little smiley guy up at the top. You know, the one that says Chat. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />I know I've been severely lacking as far as submitting goes, but I would like to think that everyone prefers quality over quantity. My computer is essentially a P.O.S. (figure it out) and until I get it fixed up, it will be hard, if not impossible for me to touch Photoshop for more than five minutes. Annoying? Why yes. However; I do have a handy dandy camera, and I'll be putting it to good use.<br /><br /><div class="title">Personal News:</div><p><br />I want to extend a huge amount of appreciation to everyone who commented on my last journal. I don't know, maybe it's not much to some people, but you guys really came through for me when I needed you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><br /><br />Everything is going just dandy now, but there are still, of course, some rough patches here and there. I'll work through it of course, and hopefully come out the better for it.</p></p><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<div class="title">Personal News:</div><p>Well, I've <b>finally</b> caught up with my insane message center. Admittedly, the delete button became my friend, but I really did try to hit most of the important stuff. If you think I missed out on anything important in your lives, feel free to tell me here. ;D<br />
<br />
Anywho, I've been incredibly inactive as far as submitting goes. I've had plenty of ideas, but when it comes to putting them in motion, I've been failing. Miserably. I have a few projects in the works, but whether I actually go through with them or not remains to be seen. I plan to submit to both *<a class="u" href="http://createbyweek.deviantart.com/">createbyweek</a> and *<a class="u" href="http://itdoesnothaveme.deviantart.com/">ItDoesNotHaveMe</a> soon, so...wish me luck, I guess? I also have been playing with my new Nikon d80 and I'm really loving it so far. Expect a new ID or at least some random pictures soon, maybe.<br />
<br />
As far as everything else goes, life is good right now. My boyfriend (what, boyfriend? Yes, yes. <3) and I have been together for...almost a month now, depending on how you want to look at it. He's an absolute sweetheart in every way. I didn't know such nice guys existed. No offense to some of the wonderful guys here on dA of course. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><br />
<br />
Anywho, enough gushing. How has everyone been? Did you make any resolutions for the New Year?<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
Aren't we adorable? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flirty.gif" width="30" height="26" alt=":flirty:" title="Flirtatious" /><br />
