I've been sort of, distracted and feeling out of sorts with the world. In a very introverted state, I have even forgone coloring any of Andre's new works that are in the making and still a secret though I have images that he sent me for my birthday. Goddess love him.. he does spoil me so. But you know I've been feeling out of it when I've not even touched color to his line art. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br /><br />I'm starting to feel better as things move along, and I am finding a certain sense of strange, and in some ways disquieting, contentment with my place in life at the moment. I'm not sure where I am going in my life, but I can say, looking back, for better or worse, though not always fair, pleasant or fun, and in fact, sometimes it was rather cruel, life wasn't always dull or even bad. Sometimes it's been amazing and seemingly perfect. I have also come to believe in a few things that I already knew, but knowing and believing are often different aren't they? *man, is it me or was that a lot of commas? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" />*<br /><br />All that said, I decided to search out images of some of the men involved in my life as it were. I'm a hopeless fangirl, and this is my self serving journal. It's long, it's full of win and If no one but my own girls look at it, I won't care... I'm not often selfish, but this is one time I've done something with the only reason being that I wanted too. Nothing more. <br /><br />I hope you can all accept that, even if you don't like it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Most everyone listed is Not only a musician, but an actor as well in some form or another. Also, the stuff listed is just my little ramblings in case anyone does read... I know I left band stuff out probably, and there is nothing in any order here. Just as I came across them I saved the stuff. Thank you all for putting up with me... ^__^<br /><br />And now for my fangirling self serve!! ^__~<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://heartlessXD.deviantart.com/art/Seto-Koji-141840810"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs50/150/f/2009/302/9/5/Seto_Koji_by_heartlessXD.jpg" width="126" height="150" /></a></span></span>  <br />Seto Koji..Though I've always found him adorable, I've recently discovered he's a good actor, singer, guitar player and violinst. His music is a bit more Rock than I normally listen to, but I find myself drawn to it...<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://aleniakalain.deviantart.com/art/Takeda-Kohei-wallpaper-128335627"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs48/150/f/2009/186/9/7/Takeda_Kohei_wallpaper_by_aleniakalain.jpg" width="150" height="120" /></a></span></span> <br />Takeda Kohei is someone I just became exposed to in a cheesy but altogether precious show called Kamen Rider Kiva. I loved his acting and only today realized the eerie resemblance to Seto Koji, who plays his son in the show, though they are only three years apart in age! He plays the violin throughout the show and he, much like Seto, does it beautifully...<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://BlackLegSarah.deviantart.com/art/matsujun-138114474"><img src="http://th03.deviant... ]]></description>

I do to actuallyÂ but I was talking to him, the mood was light and I was trying to figure out what to change the journal too when his Spirit Soother Charm he made for his phone came up on my sit back thingÂ I smiled when I saw the little tiny jingle bell on it, remembering how I sent him literally 190 of the little jingly things in a gift box just this year.

That isn't what this Holiday is about to myself, my family, or my dearest friends, and it isn't what I wish to portray it to be. I hope you enjoy it anyway ^^<br /><br />Oh and Becky.. there is a pumpkin picture in there somewhere with Strongbad in it.. I picked that one for the boys..

I struggled with naming it, tagging it.. writing a bio. For anyone who knows me, you know how daunting a task explaining or describing myself is.<br /><br />Finally get through it to the uploading part and ERROR: You can't do that cause it's an invalid file type: Literature cannot be uploaded... <br /><br />WHAAAAAAAAT????????????? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/stab.gif" width="24" height="15" alt=":stab:" title="Stabbed in the gut, just like Jack the Ripper!" /><br /><br />I should not work on something like that at 1 am. Patience runs out quickly.<br /><br />So then I though.. OH.. Lit Backgrounds. I'll make them prints, then I can upload them!! But I don't know if portfolio's count as "for DA only". Knowing how busy some of the people are, and not wanting to bother them with such a minor thing as that, I thought hell, I'll make something to put them on. Sure it may be basic as I'm not good with stuff like that but I can try, right? I make one, and while I like the color you can't really see the pattern on it. Moving along I think meh.. trial run. Lets add text!!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/weirdface2.gif" width="15" height="17" alt=":O_o:" title="O_o" /><br /><br />Using Paint Shop Pro X2, cause that I know how to do the background textures I set to task. Gradient, check. Texture, check. Acceptable font, check. Add text...crap...<br /><br />So I can't just cut and paste cause it went all twitchy. So I had to do one line at a time. Which made ME twitchy. A short poem is fine that way, but a longer one? Never gonna happen. There has GOT to be an easier way. I know that <a href="http://rellaenthia.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/e/rellaenthia.jpg" alt=":iconrellaenthia:" title="rellaenthia"/></a> used Publisher I believe she said, but I've not the first clue how to use that, and written information sometimes doesn't help. I've asked her for some help so now I wait. <br /><br />Is this a sign? Perhaps I should have not made the thing after all? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I was so irritated there at the end I put 6 fractals in it and was just like wft ever.. I'm done for now... lol<br /><br />I'm sure I'll figure it out but I just needed to share my portfolio fail somewhere lol<br /><br />Thanks ya'll for letting me rant a bit...you rock!!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />journal skin credits<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" /><br /><div class="credit"><a href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/art/white-kitten-2-87676725">white kitten 2</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/">BreatheOnMe</a> | <a href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Fairy-7-40751831">Winter Fairy 7</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/">Lisajen-stock</a> | <a href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Foliage-Swirls-80455211">Foliage Swirls</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/">redheadstock</a> | <a href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/art/Rabies-Star-Brushset-19527557">Rabies Star Brushset</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/">Rabieshund</a></div> ]]></description>

I feel a few questions are in order. Since I'm not much of a self promoter, I guess I just really look to the masses for answers to simple things I don't really know how to reason out... <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I just looked at the little movie pimp of Portfolios and I wondered a few things while watching it.<br /><br />If you weren't doing art as a means of income, would you choose to use the portfolio's personally to showcase your own work? <br /><br />Many people have stressed to me that I should do it and first and foremost make a portfolio for my writing. Should I do so with all my writing, or should I be particular and choose my own, or everyone elses most favorites, or a mix of both?<br /><br />I'll give it a little more thought and see what sort of feedback I get before moving forward with creating them.<br /><br />If anyone else has any suggestions I am open to hearing them and will give every one honest thought and consideration before moving forward. <br /><br />Peace Ya'll...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />journal skin credits<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" /><br /><div class="credit"><a href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/art/white-kitten-2-87676725">white kitten 2</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/">BreatheOnMe</a> | <a href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Fairy-7-40751831">Winter Fairy 7</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/">Lisajen-stock</a> | <a href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Foliage-Swirls-80455211">Foliage Swirls</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/">redheadstock</a> | <a href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/art/Rabies-Star-Brushset-19527557">Rabies Star Brushset</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/">Rabieshund</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been pondering my freak flag lately... I've been told by several very amazing people that I should fly it with Pride... =^.^=<br /><br />Then I though, if I were going to draw it, what would be on it?<br /><br />I think it would be a rainbow, with a bright shining sun on it...and that sun would have a kitty face like ^w^ only it would look like it does in msn.. <br /><br />But then I thought, that seems too NORMAL!! So, I'm stumped. How could I make this flag represent me? What could I put on this flag that would show the world who I am inside? Something they would see and be like OMG I know her!!!! *huggles ensue*<br /><br />I do not know...<br /><br />What would you put on your flag?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm wondering if I need to start keeping a notepad and pen next to the couch when I'm sleeping. <br /><br />Lately, or rather for a month or so now, since some trauma I experienced, I will wake up with words running all willy-nilly through my brain. Sometimes its a single line that will haunt me for an hour or more while I try in vain to recapture sleep. Other times it's a few lines that follow me throughout my dreams, only to taunt me with visions of blurry lines on a page that I can not recall with any coherent understanding. They just seem to elude me.<br /><br />I don't know if this is a growth or some funny way my brain is once again messing with my sleep. Not that I ever get much of that. Anyone who knows me well knows that my sleep seems directly tied to not sleeping. I have good nights and bad, mostly just disturbed though.<br /><br />My biggest problem is that I don't have my glasses close at night, and without them, I really cannot see so writing may resemble something akin to a drunken chicken scratching poetry into the dirt in his coop..<br /><br />For those who do write, does that actually work? Just writing down the randomness to get it out of your head at 4 am, even if it never makes sense?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here's a new twist for me on an old game. You comment, I'll feature you. Since I never get enough to do say, 10...I'm changing things up.<br /><br />Do you want a feature? I'll feature you. Do you have a friend you might like to have featured? Lemme know...I'll go take a look and see if I like something.<br /><br />Do you want a specific thing you do featured? Tell me, perhaps I'll choose that over everything else...<br /><br />What I ask is that along with you're 'comment'.. you find one deviation out there that is in celebration of Halloween. I don't want silly hooked nosed, green faced witches...I want pretty things...<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Pumpkins/gourds, autumn scenes, spooky woods, black cats, Witches *in a positive light please*, Faeries, everyting and anything else you can come up with...<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Sound fair?<br /><br />They can be any medium, and then I will use those links to do a feature by itself ^^ Just make sure you link it in your comment to me <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />So, happy featuring my darlings! ^^<br /><br />1. <a href="http://the-suns-moon.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/the-suns-moon.png?3" alt=":iconthe-suns-moon:" title="the-suns-moon"/></a><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><a href="http://the-suns-moon.deviantart.com/art/Mira-83505460">[link]</a><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><a href="http://the-suns-moon.deviantart.com/art/Where-goes-the-sun-115100909">[link]</a><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><a href="http://the-suns-moon.deviantart.com/art/What-Are-You-Looking-At-128944873">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So....<br /><br />Once again, dear sweet Mark *<a class="u" href="http://lonewolfphotography.deviantart.com/">LoneWolfPhotography</a> spoke with me about Portfolio's again. I'm thinking about going ahead and doing one, since you don't HAVE to have a sub to do them.<br /><br />I've not considered them before because I don't do the art for money or anything, just because it makes me happy to create and share. So, of course I'm not sure what I should highlight since I'm not much of a self promoter, but if anyone can think of anything they think I should include, I'm open to any and all suggestions ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Summer, gone...<br />Drive, gone...<br />Inspiration, gone...<br /><br />I'm sure they're around here somewhere, but this limbo is draining. It's not warm, yet, our leaves are not yet changing. My plants decided to start growing again after those really scorching days, but just in time for it to get wet and cool enough to start to die back...again.<br /><br />The house is getting cool in the morning, but at some parts of the day still so warm I want the door open. The air though is just cool enough that it's chilly to do so...<br /><br />Blargh.<br /><br />I wish it would just pick something to do you know?<br /><br />Maybe I'll do a news feature full of fall pictures or something just to inspire me. Wouldn't that be fun? LOL I would just do a journal but to many links to follow that way <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />Good news though is that soon, Samhain will be upon us, and that will be so much fun! Lots of dress up and decorating fun, birthdays, and in the mix somewhere, little Shelby will be born. Awesomesauce all around...<br /><br />Anyway, I'm done yapping for now. I had a little short story thingy I was working on. Perhaps I'll find a way to keep going with it. Or at least try. Or maybe I'll just print and color more of <a href="http://gravihk.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/r/gravihk.gif?13" alt=":icongravihk:" title="gravihk"/></a>'s stuff. I just love his work <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br /><br />Until next time...ya'll be good. Much love.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday while thanking someone for favoriting some of my work, I happened to notice something in her journal. Something I found intriguing and very close to home. It was a piece about a drawing of sorts being done to honor survivors of rape and/or sexual abuse. Not only is the project for those have survived, but to honor those who support them as well. I read this about the project and now I share with you:<br /><br /><i>From thousands of tragic events, a beautiful drawing is born. My name is David Ilan and I am a celebrity artist. When celebrities pose for me, I create a drawings of them using only dots, a technique called pointillism. For the first time in 10 years I am creating a non-celebrity drawing for a project that is very close to my heart. This project, named Points with Purpose, gives my dots a greater meaning by associating each dot with a real person who has been raped or sexually abused.<br /><br />If you have been raped or sexually abused you can join the project here (It's free), giving your real name or an alias, and have the option of sharing your story. There is also a place in the drawing for people who want to support survivors. I add one dot for every person who joins until the drawing is complete. The final drawing will be of a woman looking confident, proud and beautiful. By joining the project, thousands of people with a shared tragic experience will work together to form a work of art meant to show others who go through similar experiences that they too can feel confident, proud and beautiful again.<br /><br />Every person involved will have a dot drawn to honor them.<br />Up close we see individuals with a story.<br />From far we see a woman who has overcome and grown.</i><br /><br />I joined the site, both as a supporter, and a survivor. If you know anyone who might be interested in joining the project, please, pass this along. I am looking forward to seeing the finished project. It's not that I want to see those dots representing all those people as much as I want to see those dots respresenting those men and women who are stepping forward and trying to help show that even through something so horrible, we can, and will, be alright.<br /><br />You can see the progress on the picture so far too. Give it a peek or pass it along. Thanks so much for your time!! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.pointswithpurpose.com/MYPWP/home.php">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Here's to many more!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/ahoy.gif" width="31" height="19" alt=":ahoy:" title="Ahooooy Matey!" /><br /><br />Over 2.5 years here and it's been a blast... <br /><br />Fingers crossed for *<a class="u" href="http://pyroman699.deviantart.com/">pyroman699</a> I know he doesn't care much but I hope he wins or places in the fractal contest...we'll find out today!! I'm SO excited!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> *see? that's me excited for him!!*<br /><br />On another note, lately.... I've not been able to really create. I mean I have done a few fractals but they took much longer than they normally would. I just wasn't initially satisfied with them. <br /><br />And my writing, more purging than inspired, though there was some inspiration indeed.<br /><br />My brain seems to have forgotten what those colored pencils are for. I place a piece in front of me that I love and look to the pencils as always, and yet, they seem like foreign objects to me.<br /><br />The blank paper, compass, templates...all just clutter on my table.<br /><br />I'm told I'm trying to hard. Trying isn't my thing. My thing is flow. I just let it come. But for some reason, it's not <i>flowing</i> for me. <br /><br />And I feel, strange. I hope it passes soon...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Good emotions, bad emotions and some I've only just really experienced.But I have been struggling. <br /><br />I have been so wrapped up in trying to be a 'better' writer...to do and be and try all those things that have been suggested to me that I had forgotten to trust in my own style. I love doing new things, challenging myself, learning new ways of doing things. I just don't want to lose my own style, my unique personality.<br /><br />I don't want to conform to fit in and be accepted. I just want to be, me.<br /><br />To those friends, old and new, who have always been so amazing I thank you. To those who have become so much more, you, too, are amazing...and you have been such a driving force in my trying new things.<br /><br />To my kids; ~<a class="u" href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/">Laurana-Inanna</a> ~<a class="u" href="http://lorner.deviantart.com/">Lorner</a> and ~<a class="u" href="http://dragon-icewing.deviantart.com/">dragon-icewing</a><br />- you guys have been the most amazing source of smiles and laughter and so many other things. You are going to do great things the lot of you. And I'm not just saying that cause I'm your mama, I really believe in all of you.<br /><br />And a personal thank you to Sama, AndrÃ©, Sonia and Becky.<br /><br />You have listened to me, cried with me, laughed with me.. pulled me out of the darkness and forced me back into the light even when I clawed and screamed and begged for you to just let me go. Without you...I wouldn't be me. And I love you more than you will ever know.<br /><br />Thankies to you my Bela for the sub. I have enjoyed it very much! ^^<br /><br />and one last note...Fingers crossed for *<a class="u" href="http://pyroman699.deviantart.com/">pyroman699</a> He entered a fractal contest...I'm excited for him! Good luck to Universal Peace and Happiness...it would be a hell of a win for all wouldn't it? ^__^<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />journal skin credits<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" /><br /><div class="credit"><a href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/art/white-kitten-2-87676725">white kitten 2</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/">BreatheOnMe</a> | <a href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Fairy-7-40751831">Winter Fairy 7</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/">Lisajen-stock</a> | <a href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Foliage-Swirls-80455211">Foliage Swirls</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/">redheadstock</a> | <a href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/art/Rabies-Star-Brushset-19527557">Rabies Star Brushset</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/">Rabieshund</a></div> ]]></description>

The neck symptoms I am exhibiting are the same as those with Rheumatoid Arthritis and those that have Downs Syndrome. Which assures me that looking up at the ceiling isnÂt going to harm me any.

LOL<br />So, hereÂs the pretty low downÂ<br />For the first 14 people requesting a feature in their comment to this journal I will feature the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery in my journal. Then you make a journal (if you like there are no requirements to participate for sure yaÂll) featuring me and 14 others who respond to yours.

It's not supposed to move at all. She said my doctor needs to have me have an MRI done to find out what wrong, because that isn't normal...<br /><br />I have to admit, I'm a bit scared.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />journal skin credits<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" /><br /><div class="credit"><a href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/art/white-kitten-2-87676725">white kitten 2</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/">BreatheOnMe</a> | <a href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Fairy-7-40751831">Winter Fairy 7</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/">Lisajen-stock</a> | <a href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Foliage-Swirls-80455211">Foliage Swirls</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/">redheadstock</a> | <a href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/art/Rabies-Star-Brushset-19527557">Rabies Star Brushset</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/">Rabieshund</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was watching the Video for Beautiful today. I love the song.. and the video. Thought there are many messages within it, most people only see the two men kissing. Such a shame honestly that this is what most focus on. They are a beautiful couple if only a couple in the video...<br /><br />I read messages/comments. Sometimes I am horrified by them. A train wreck of mindless crap that I shake my head at and try to disassociate myself from the very humanity I am tied too..<br /><br />Today though.. I read something that made me smile..<br /><br />"...gay people realized they were gay the same day you realized you were straight. Sexual orientation is not a choice, it's a gift...part of the magic that is love."<br /><br />If people would just understand this. Love is an amazing gift.. The capacity we have to love each other is even stronger than the capacity to hate. <br /><br />So I will leave you with this.. as Jason Mraz often asks... How are you going to serve love today?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" />CREDITS<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><br /><div class="credit"><a href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/art/white-kitten-2-87676725">white kitten 2</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://breatheonme.deviantart.com/">BreatheOnMe</a> | <a href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Fairy-7-40751831">Winter Fairy 7</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/">Lisajen-stock</a> | <a href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Foliage-Swirls-80455211">Foliage Swirls</a> by *<a class="u" href="http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/">redheadstock</a> | <a href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/art/Rabies-Star-Brushset-19527557">Rabies Star Brushset</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://rabieshund.deviantart.com/">Rabieshund</a></div> ]]></description>

My hat is off to you.. <br /><br />No known species of reindeer can fly, but there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified. Although most of these are insects and bacteria, this does not rule out flying reindeer.<br /><br />There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical).<br /><br />This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house.<br /><br />Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second - 3,000 times the speed of sound.<br /><br />For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. <br /><br />The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself.<br /><br />On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them-Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).<br /><br />600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each.<br /><br />In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.<br /><br />Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of red goo.<br /><br />Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Ordinarily I don't think much of it, because I love thunder. But tonight, tonight feels different. Like within the thunder, there is an omen. Good or bad I do not know, but I feel it's energy within me.<br /><br />I feel amazing amounts of energy lately in fact. Could be I'm coming to another place in my life. That I am uncertain of as well. I just know that something is different. Something feels more alive, more aware.<br /><br />I love storms, don't you? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

That one person that inspires change, who makes people want to get up and dance and smile and laugh and just be the real them. No masks, no illusions of reality, no fear. Then I realize that if I try to hard, eventually I forget what I was trying to do in the first place. And then, I end up like a cause that no one believes in. <br /><br />So today, my sis and I were tweeting and we found Jason Mraz. All hail the M-r-a-z!! We also discovered his blog. And in this blog, we found a video that is a shining example of how being yourself, as I spoke of previously, can truly inspire others in short order.<br /><br />Please watch the video. It's fun and you just wanna figure out how to join him...<br /><br />You dance Mr. Man... You dance and you keep on keeping it real. Goddess knows we need more people like you. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8z7f7a2Pk">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I, strangely, did not!<br /><br />So.. if you haven't seen it, I submitted a project. <a href="http://news.deviantart.com/article/79656/">[link]</a><br /><br />I had been reading one of `<a class="u" href="http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/">Beccalicious</a>'s journal about how even the littlest things contribute to the overall of the community.<br /><br />So.. I was thinking about how much fun we had in my chatroom one night playing first letter/last letter, and everyone started tossing out phobias. Well I got to giggling and thinking about what 'the fear of a duck watching you' would look like and Viola! A thought was born.. <br /><br />I posted a journal about it.. and people seemed to think it was a fun idea. I put my head together with a few people.. and =<a class="u" href="http://rellaenthia.deviantart.com/">Rellaenthia</a> helped me finalize what I wanted to do..<br /><br />Thus.. The Totally Phobic Project was born...<br /><br />Go give it a read.. and tell a few friends and hopefully we will have a very unique display of phobia's brought to life come June 1st!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is this even possible? so.. I want a few volunteers to help me. I want you to find the most ridiculous, yet LEGITIMATE phobias and their meanings. when we have a good number of them.. we'll do a news article? How's that? People to it for artist features.. is this something you think we could do there? Pass along the funny stuff we've gleaned?<br /><br />Do you think it would be worthy of news?<br />How many should we do?<br />Can you do brought to you by several people?<br /><br />Thoughts people come on now!! FEED my brain with your genius!!<br /><br />For a ridiculously funny example of what I mean.. look at my signature line in messages on my user page <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So.. this may seem a little unorthodox, but anyone who knows me knows I do things a little skewed from the norm.<br /><br />And, I want to share this.<br /><br />This is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time. A simple picture, of two people, joined together, that speaks clearly of the love that he has for what he does.<br /><br />Kudos to you Gravihk, you are my hero...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /><a href="http://gravihk.deviantart.com/art/CM-Levi-to-Gravihk-120819890">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have it, but I don't... I have a million things going on in my head but it seems like inspirational chaos soup, with everything lost in a miasma of nothingness unable to be retrieved. <br /><br />Up is left and down is up, and right had been murdered and put in the garden to sprout into the dreaded Ebilness, sworn to plague me forever.<br /><br />If only I could shake it and move past it...<br /><br />My fingers are crossed and my heart is hopeful. Now all I need is the door to the path of solution...<br /><br />Thanks for listening.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

(Icon to my page at the bottom!)<br /><br />I "hacked" (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" />) her account, just to let you all know we are currently having problems with our service provider at the time. We should be back by this coming week. I think someone is coming out tomorrow to look at our line. I don't remember. But anyways she's not avoiding any of you. So no worries!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />(I'm not avoiding any of you either! For those of you who watch us both, I was just to lazy to put a journal on my page too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />)<br /><br />Ninja'd sincerely by:<br /><br />Pumpkin!<br /><a href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/laurana-inanna.jpg?1" alt=":iconlaurana-inanna:" title="laurana-inanna"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As the clearing is brought to ground from the huge thunderclap, the air crackles with energy and the forest goes up in unnatural flames.  The color of fire but chilled as ice, the trees are slowly being consumed by the strange phenomena created.<br /><br />The few remaining Orcs are momentarily distracted and try to gather their senses and their human leader just laughs an ominous evil laughter as he get s to his feet and draws his sword. He swings  in a cleaving manner at <a href="http://gravihk.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/r/gravihk.gif?13" alt=":icongravihk:" title="gravihk"/></a> and misses a heavy shot to his leg. <a href="http://gravihk.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/r/gravihk.gif?13" alt=":icongravihk:" title="gravihk"/></a> regains his feet and begins drawing his rapier as chaos grips the land around him.<br /><br /><a href="http://boonjagga.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconboonjagga:" title="boonjagga"/></a> checks the area around him and decides on a plan of action. He plants his feet firmly and pushed the large cooking pot like a ball, rolling it into one of the Orcs who just regained their  feet, crushing his legs under the weight and trapping him. Satisfied with this small victory, he searches for a way to stop the fire.<br /><br /><a href="http://lorner.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/o/lorner.jpg" alt=":iconlorner:" title="lorner"/></a> Goes to an area of the woods that has not yet seems to be affected and begins a slow and melodic whistle, changing pitch and tone rapidly, he takes a few steps, stops and makes the call again. Slowly, animals seems to be coming across the clearing toward him and he takes a few more steps and repeats the song and animals begin rushing out of the forest to safety. He is joined in a moment by the young druid and together they begin chanting, calling upon the favor of their deity in an attempt to find a way to control the fire.<br /><br />The remaining Orcs find their feet and come forward, weapons drawn at <a href="http://poptartbrat.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poptartbrat.jpg" alt=":iconpoptartbrat:" title="poptartbrat"/></a>, <a href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/laurana-inanna.jpg?1" alt=":iconlaurana-inanna:" title="laurana-inanna"/></a> and <a href="http://bloodredscythe.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/l/bloodredscythe.png?1" alt=":iconbloodredscythe:" title="bloodredscythe"/></a> The young women, weapons drawn, ready for the attack.  One connects with <a href="http://poptartbrat.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poptartbrat.jpg" alt=":iconpoptartbrat:" title="poptartbrat"/></a>, hitting her right arm, causing her to drop her weapon.  <a href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/laurana-inanna.jpg?1" alt=":iconlaurana-inanna:" title="laurana-inanna"/></a> takes him out, piercing him in the forehead for his treachery.  Blows are traded back and forth and <a href="http://boonjagga.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconboonjagga:" title="boonjagga"/></a> comes to lend his sword, cleaving one Orcs in twain with a skillful swing.<br /><br />The young wolf pup begins running about, skillfully biting the Orcs, doing little physical damage, but creating chaos enough to cause a distraction.<br />One Orc lands a crushing blow to <a href="http://bloodredscythe.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/l/bloodredscythe.png?1" alt=":iconbloodredscythe:" title="bloodredscythe"/></a> rendering her sword arm useless and forcing her to back off and consider another means of attack, and see about some healing. <a href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/laurana-inanna.jpg?1" alt=":iconlaurana-inanna:" title="laurana-inanna"/></a> takes out two more Orcs before a falling tree branch causes a nasty incident, breaking her bowstring. <br /><br />Left with only two Orcs and their leader, focus changes a little to the fire surrounding them.  The Druid and <a href="http://lorner.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/o/lorner.jpg" alt=":iconlorner:" title="lorner"/></a> are engaged in some sort of spell, surrounded by a small army of brave animals, forming a circle around them protectively.<br /><br /><a href="http://laurana-inanna.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/laurana-inanna.jpg?1" alt=":iconlaurana-inanna:" title="laurana-inanna"/></a> and <a href="http://boonjagga.deviantart... ]]></description>
