I has a new shiney DA account *nightsneverland set up and will be adding poems and the like over the coming week to fill it up

I -think- I have managed to add all my friends to my new watch list . . but if I have missed you, I do apologise.


*loveloves*

I have moved into a different part of my life from when I first started on DA. I'm a vastly different person and a different poet.

As a result, I think it is time to create a new DA journal.

This means I shall need to be quite harsh when adding my poems to the new account. However, this also may result in me wanting to re-write things . . .

And I'm going to need a new avatar. *ponders*

She has been complaining that she doesn't have a current photo of my brother and I together, and the likelihood of my brother and I actually going to get a professional photo done is very very slim.

So, I decided to get her a portrait painted by the ever so amazingly talented *KartK who created such sublime graphite pieces they look like a photo.

I didn't give Kat all that much notice really and the poor thing was under the weather too, but she exceeded all my expectations when she produced this



Thank you so much, Kat!!

Hi, my name is: Amanda

but you can call me: Mande

Never in my life have I: Experienced the amount of respect from a man that I currently do.

The one person who can drive me nuts is: My brother *mutters*

My high school was: 10 years ago!! *is getting old*

The last song I listened to was: The Pentagram Burns by Satyricon

If I were to get married right now it would be to: Dani Filth.

My hair is: recently cut to shoulder length and annoying me as it's drying.

When I was 4: It was 1983.

Last Christmas: I was incredibly spoilt as per usual and had a horrid cold during which I lost my voice.

I should be: Working through the piles of things I have to do while I am the only member of my Team in this week.

When I look down I see: Pretty shiney jewellery.

The happiest recent event was: Attending a Masquerade Ball with the Man and wearing the most exquisit gown ever created!!

If I were a character on ‘Friends’ : I wouldn't.

By this time next year: I will most likely be living in a new place, have a new kitty companion for my Bowen Casanova, have been to Africa and planning a visit to my Michymoo Stinkypoo.

My current gripe is: Bloody hayfever.

I have a hard time understanding: why some people have such a problem understanding simple instructions or directives.

There’s this girl: whom I met about 3 or 4 years ago, who fills my life with love, laughter, beauty and magick and I truly couldn't without her.

If I won an award, the first person I would tell would be: Michymoo then the Man.

I want to buy: A castle in Scotland.

Where do you plan to visit: In addition to revisiting Europe and Scotland -- Africa, Greek Islands, Ireland, Prague.

If you spent the night at my house: You'd be kicked kept awake by my talking in my sleep and Bowen Casanova's snoring.

The world could do without: Ignoranct and close minded people.

Most recent thing I’ve bought myself: Yet another original painting of my Micha's.

Most recent thing someone else bought me: Shoes, flowers, DVDs and two more original paintings by Mich *grins*.

My middle name is: Jane - which is why I get called A.J at times.

In the morning: I sleep in for as long as I can, get tapped on the face by my Bowen Casanova, take my hayfever tablets, pee, have a shower and get ready for work.

Last night I was: Envisaging the many ways I wanted to torture the call centre staff at Telstra.

There’s this guy I know who: Treats me like a precious jewel and makes me feel like a Queen.

If I was an animal I’d be a: Lioness

A better name for me would be: Arabelle or Bella.

Tomorrow I am: Working and most likely shopping.

Tonight I am: Going home, playing with my Bowen Casanova, putting a colour in my hair, cooking dinner, talking to the Man and then sleeping.

My birthday is: 1st August.

You got this from: The lovely Nat.

While I won't go into details of how I was spoilt by the Man from Tuesday afternoon through to last evening, I shall just say that it was one of the most amazing, mind blowing and wonderful experiences I have experienced in my entire life!

There was a limo, surprises, blindfolds and Tiffany jewellery involved.

It took six people to organise my birthday

But, I digress, the point of THIS journal is to brag about a different gift.

A gift that made me bounce, gasp and then blush as my eyes glistened up with tears.

My amazingly talented and inspirational big sister *artoftheempath did gift me with something truly exquisite. She ALWAYS spoils me on my birthday and this year has been no exception.

Mich has a talent to see into my heart and soul and KNOW what would make me happiest.

When I first saw her Morrigan ACEO I instantly wanted her; however, it wasn't meant to be. While I understand Mich's decision to keep her precious to herself, I will confess to being quite heartbroken.

So, you can imagine my complete delight and sense of complete love when I opened my parcel to find my very own A5, full body piece of the Morrigan.

To have the original of this


in my possession, to know She shall grace my wall and my life is a gift beyond my ability to describe.

Mich, you are such a treasure to me and I thank you for being in my life and filling my life with your love and amazing ability to capture such beauty and power in each piece of artwork you create.

I am blessed indeed.

The amazingly generous and talented Michele-lee Phelan has taken me in and provided my ramblings with a beautiful and magickal home.

I really cannot thank my Mich enough for doing this for me. Not only is her artwork an incredible inspiration to me, she is the one who ensures I do not give up writing. The one who pushes me to be the best I can be, encourages me and scolds me when I want to give up.

*does a little dance*

The new site (in all it's pretty shiney-ness) can be found here:

Is bloody damn annoying!! ]]> *RavenLady http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1649443/ http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1649443/ Thu, 08 Jan 2004 17:27:09 PST
I love winter - 'tis my favourite time of year actually, but this just feels weird - I am sitting in my office with the heater on! Plus wearing boots, jeans, a singlet, jumper, heavy winter coat and scarf!! And this is January! Usually one of our hottest times!! ]]> *RavenLady http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1640003/ http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1640003/ Tue, 06 Jan 2004 18:42:16 PST
And then this morning I read her message that she wants to paint my poem Dreaming! Could the day get any better?? Well I thought not, but then my darling Mab tells me she also wants to paint the Dreaming poem as it is about me and her! *boggie*

Ah, DeviantART - is there any better place??? ]]> *RavenLady http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1630209/ http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1630209/ Sun, 04 Jan 2004 19:16:34 PST I do love my internet access and all that, but seriously working 8:45am to 5pm is not for me!

Plus I am bloody exhausted! Festive Season - bleh! ]]> *RavenLady http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1570574/ http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1570574/ Mon, 22 Dec 2003 21:35:08 PST
Damn the Xmas Holidays!

Then again, I guess it does give me time to do some writing!! ]]> *RavenLady http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1569655/ http://RavenLady.deviantart.com/journal/1569655/ Mon, 22 Dec 2003 17:31:59 PST
While I am not sure that my writing is good enough to displayed in this fashion, I figure it can't hurt to give it a go! ]]> *RavenLady
