                <description><![CDATA[ The month of August isn't even close to over yet and it's already been extremely chaotic for me....But in a good way at least.<br /><br />On the 1st my friend Richie from New Jersey came to visit and we had all kinds of awesome fun just hanging out and joking around.  He got to stay for an entire week this time, it's usually only a couple of days, if that that he stays.  So he got here on Saturday the 1st and on Wednesday the 5th, Adam picked me up from work and when I came out, I gestured for him get out of the drivers side so I could drive home.  When I get to the window he tells me that I can't drive because we have one more stop to make and he can't tell me where it is, so I get in the passenger seat.  He starts driving and tells me that we're going to play a game and the game is, Richie is going to play a sound clip (I'm assuming from his cell phone) my job is to guess who said it, how long ago I heard it and where it was that this happened.  So I'm thinking "okay this is weird but whatever, might be fun".  Adam tells Richie to play the clip and I'm waiting to hear it but I don't hear anything, so Adam tells him to play it again and suddenly from the back seat I hear my friends voice say "Hippopotimees" (I know that's not spelled correctly I did it on purpose because the word was not pronounced correctly either <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />) and I just turn around and my best friend in the entire world, Heather <a href="http://ravinashadowcaster.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/a/ravinashadowcaster.jpg" alt=":iconravinashadowcaster:" title="ravinashadowcaster"/></a> pops up from the floor of the car where she was hiding under a blanket.  I was so happy to see her that I started crying and laughing at the same time.  I hadn't seen that girl in 3 years.  It turns out that as a birthday gift, Adam flew her out to visit for a week from Michigan.  So all 4 of us were having the time of our lives until Richie left on Saturday the 8th and Heather on Wednesday the 12th.  I miss her like crazy now that she's gone, but it was good to have her here while it lasted.<br /><br />During that time period, Richie paid for me to get a new piercing (spider bites on the left side of my bottom lip) as a birthday gift.  Heather being here was a gift in itself and Adam got me a ton of other stuff.  My actual birthday was yesterday the 15th and I turned 21 (FINALLY!) and tonight Adam and I and a TON of friends are going to a (for lack of a better term) strip club in Springfield Massachusetts called Mardi Gras for drinks and tons of fun.  So all in all it's been an amazing 16 days so far. <br /><br />Hope you're all well <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So after about two months of waiting and getting highly annoyed and frustrated on a daily basis, I finally bought a car.  We got it yesterday after everything was squared away and settled down...now all I need it my drivers license hehe.  But I'm working on that, I'm going to be the one to drive pretty much everywhere until I feel comfortable enough and ready to take the test.<br /><br />Also, things at work have been going well so not as many people have been getting on my nerves, I would like to find a new job preferably one that pays a little more but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future.  I've also been shooting a lot more lately and am just waiting to get photos back from photographers and stuff.<br /><br />Adam, Austin and I are going to New Hampshire this weekend took, for the Fourth...though I'm not going for the same reasons they want to...I hate fireworks (well the noise at least)I'm just going because I haven't been camping in so long.  Anyway, enough of this....(I don't really like updating but I feel like I need to sometimes to let you all know that I"m at least alive).  I hope you're all doing well, and that you have a wonderful Fourth.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As usual, not a whole lot has been going on, but a few things have happened in the last month or so that possibly bare mentioning in a journal.  For one, Adam and I no longer have a vehicle.  Our car decided it was done and died on us so now we have to use our room mates car or his girlfriends to get me to and from work...annoying.  As soon as Adam gets his next payment though, we're getting a new car..or more like a new used car since neither of us can afford anything brand new.  <br /><br />Other news: My kitten is doing well.  She's a monster but she's adorable and I"ll be posting some photos to my scraps soon. I've had a few shoots lately that went nicely, now I'm just waiting to get the photos from one of them.  I got a raise at work...after having been there for a year...I"m starting to sell my crocheted and knitted garments, blankets and amigurumi, and have had business cards printed for this that should be arriving in the mail any day now.  And for the best and most exciting bit of news, I'm getting my first tattoo done today.  It's a large Celtic knot work piece and it will cover my right side.  The artist is the ever amazing Kevin Stiles <a href="http://tattoostiles.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/tattoostiles.jpg" alt=":icontattoostiles:" title="tattoostiles"/></a> I can't wait to get it done and get some photos taken to put up, I"m super excited and little nervous...but I think I can handle it.  Anyway, enough rambling from me.  I hope you're all doing well, take care.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so we're pretty much settled in the new place now, we still have a few things to unpack but it's all coming along nicely.  The unfortunate thing about our new residence is that it's now 20 mile further from where I work, so it's costing me about $80 a week for fuel and that's pretty ridiculous.  I'm searching for a new job in the area and hoping for the best...meanwhile I'll just have to deal.<br /><br />Today is Adam's 34th birthday (though he doesn't look 34 at all...maybe 24) and I'm spoiling him rotten.  I got him a t-shirt he mentioned and he seems to love it, I baked him a lemon cake and we're going to dinner later on also.  When we get home from the restaurant, we're gonna watch a movie and gorge ourselves on junk food.<br /><br />Today I'm also getting a kitten, I"m leaving shortly to pick it up and then I'm going to the pet store to get food and stuff for it...I'm super excited because I've been wanting another one since my last was catnapped by some woman who lived in our complex.  I can't wait to bring the cuddly little thing home <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I also got my hair cut short (okay not short short, just shoulder length) and it's all blue now, no more black.  This had to happen because we had a bleaching accident.  we usually use a 20 volume bleach on my roots before we put the blue in, well this last time we did the 20 vol. on my roots and my friend Addam (the one who does my hair) decided he wanted to get some of the black out.  So he used a 30 vol. on the black portion of my hair (like the instructions said to use) and we put a bag over my head to let it process....well about 5 mins later I could feel the heat from it but didn't think much of it until I got an itchy spot and I reached up to rub my head (no scratching I'm a good girl) and it felt like the bag was melting to my head, so I told Addam and he pulled the bag off....my hair was steaming! so I jumped in the shower to rinse it out and when I conditioned it I was pulling out large clumps of hair...everything was breaking off from the black down.  I guess what happened is the bleach reacted with the metal in the black hair dye and it burned the hair (I didn't know there was metal in the black dye) so I lost all the hair in the middle of my head from the black down, and went to the salon the next afternoon for a nice new haircut that I love....but anyway sorry about the long story, I just thought it'd be kind of fun to share.  Hope you're all doing well take care.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> <br /><br />Blessings,<br />  Krystal )0(<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So my computer has finally given up...I'm probably going to be using Adam's until I get my new one, I've almost got the money saved for it so it shouldn't be long....still kind of sucks though but when I get the new one I'll be able to upload once more woohoo!<br /><br /><br />There have also been some problems with the moving.  The closing date was supposed to be today but because somone screwed up the paperwork it looks like it'll be on Tuesday.  We can't stay here past the 28th (tomorrow) so we'll most likely be staying with some friends for a couple of days or holed up in a hotel until the closing happens <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> and I have to go back to work on Sunday grrrr....I need to find a job in Colchester....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So Adam and I have been in the process of packing things up to move for a while now and I can finally say that we've made a huge dent in clutter around here...I only hope the new place will remain clutter free or at least organized when we get settled in, but knowing Adam and Austin that's not very likely.  The closing date for the house is February 27th...this Friday.  I've taken a week off of work so I can help finish packing and moving the boxes and furniture when the time comes, otherwise I'd feel guilty for leaving it all up to Adam and Travis.  I can honestly say, I haven't been this exhausted in a long time, my whole body feels it....I can't wait to get to the house, it'll be a relief to see everything unpacked and put in place, it's pretty exciting for me.<br /><br />Anyway, my computer is still giving me problems, and I'm still saving the money for a new one, I'm almost there, but I've put shooting on hold until after we're settled in so I'm not distracted and I have time to focus on all the more important things going on.  It'll come together eventually though...it's just a matter of time. Alright, on to more packing.  I'll be on a lot less often until we get to the house, and hopefully soon I'll be able to post more photos...I have a ton.  I'll talk to you all soon, take care <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've had this idea running around in my head for some time now, and I figured what better way to make a decision than to ask a bunch of other people.  As some of you may know (or maybe you don't) I'm an avid crocheter and knitter, and over the 8 and a half years I've been a fiber artist, I've accumulated a ton of stuff.  I've been thinking of putting my oldest account here on DA to use once again by posting photos of my many completed projects and some that are in progress.  I have no idea how people will respond to photos of crocheted and knitted blankets, clothing, stuffed...creatures and many other things.  So really what I'm asking is: Do you (my watchers) think I should start posting photos of my projects on my Ryu777 account, or do you think that this form of art won't be appreciated enough to put the effort into?  Don't hesitate to tell the truth, it's not going to bother me, I just wanted an opinion before I started posting away.  Hoping to hear some feed back soon, take care everyone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay I suck at thinking of a good way to start a journal, which is probably one of the reasons I don't post many of them, but recently a few things have happened and I'm pretty excited about one and severely annoyed with another.  I don't know if I mentioned this in a previous journal or not so forgive my babbling.<br /><br />Adam and I have a room mate who has bought a house, or a duplex rather, so in March we're moving from Manchester to Colchester (Connecticut).  I'm excited about the move, because we'll have more space and a spare bedroom that will (I hope) eventually turn into my crocheting/knitting/altar room.  All of my yarn and needles and hooks take up way too much room where we are now and I have no storage that or anything else.  But anyway, on to the annoying bit.<br /><br />For Yule, Adam bought me a computer game called Left 4 Dead, you may have heard of it.  I really really really want to play this game.....but I can't until I get a new computer because this piece of shite is so bogged down and there's nothing I can do about it at the moment.  So the money I get from photo shoots is going directly to my "new computer fund" I'm halfway there, but I most likely won't get the new one until after we move...it all depends.  If any one was wondering why I don't update my gallery here or my portfolio on Model Mayhem..it's because I have no room on my shitty computer for new photos and when I put a disc in the drive to upload from it, my comp shuts down before I can even begin....stupid thing.  Anyway, I'll stop boring you, just thought I'd share a little of my boring life for once haha.  Hope you're all well.<br /><br />This journal will posted at my other account too so if you watch me there, you can ignore it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all! So on Tuesday I finally got up the nerve to get my tongue pierced.  I don't really know why I was so nervous about, probably because of the swelling, but I got it done for twenty dollars at the Moonflower Boutique here in Connecticut.  I'm happy with it so far, and it didn't really swell so I'm talking pretty normally.  <br /><br /><br />Also, right now I'm aching to shoot.  I haven't had a shoot since early September because of my crazy crazy work schedule it's driving me nuts.  I usually have Tuesdays and Fridays off but most photographer can only shoot during the weekends and I'm unable to <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> oh well, I'll find someone who wants to shoot during the week...hopefully soon.<br /><br /><br />On Samhanin (or Halloween) Adam and I are driving to Northampton Massachusetts to see our friends Addam and Kim and on November 1st we're going to the Witches' Ball in Salem Mass.  I'm excited and can't wait for the fun.  I took 4 days off of work just so I could go haha.  Also, our room mate Travis is currently looking very hard for a new place for all of us to live because our current residence is most likely going to have it's rent raised when it's bought by new owners.  I just hope he gets a Duplex so I can have my cat (Travis is allergic to cats so we can't live in the same house or apartment with him and also have an indoor cat). But anyway, I guess I'm done boring you all now.  Just wanted to update what's been going on with me.  As soon as I have another shoot I'll post more photos.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />   Krystal )0(<br /><br />Oh and this journal is also going to be posted on my other account so if you watch me there too you can ignore it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  Take care everyone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi all, I just wanted to update you on the latest shoot.  It took place on Sunday August 10th, in Lawrence Massachusetts with Ian-X you can see his gallery here: <a href="http://ian-x.deviantart.com">[link]</a> . Ian was awesome to work with and very easy going, not to mention he's an amazing photographer, I'll be posting the images I received from him on my other account, for those of you who don't have a link to it, send me a note and I'll provide you with one.  <br /><br />So, I'm still working at that store I mentioned in my last journal and I'm having a good time, keeping busy and more importantly, making decent money.  I'm saving up so Adam and I  can get our own apartment in the near-ish future and his son can have his own bedroom. Also my 20th birthday is on Friday, the 15th and I'm so excited.  <br />EDIT: I got my industrial done earlier today and I love it so far, except for the pain haha.  I have to find a way to keep my long hair from wrapping around the barbell though...I'll come up with something! On the night of my birthday my friends Addam and Kim are coming down to spend a couple of days with us to celebrate.  I haven't seen them in a couple of months so I'm pretty happy they're able to make it out here.  Other than that not much is going on, just trying to take it easy and make time for my crochet projects...and more shooting.  Hope you're all doing well. Take care.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />   Krystal )0(<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well after 7 months of looking and calling and driving around I finally got a call back and was hired at my interview for work in an adult novelties store.  I started work yesterday the 24th and it's awesome so far...I'll probably have a ton of funny stories to share hehe.  <br /><br />I've been having an all around great week.  I caught a crayfish (crawfish, yabby, mudbug for those who know them  by those names) in the local creek and brought it home so now I have a pet....I haven't named it yet and don't even know if I will but it's really cool.  It moulted while I was out of town so I missed it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> .  Adam and I spent the weekend in Northampon Massachusetts for our friend Kim's 22nd birthday...she and her boyfriend Addam are awesome and we did a lot of shooting and dyed my hair (just the roots and back shave) violet so you'll be seeing that soon.  Anyway I'll stop rambling now...hope you all had a great weekend too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I know it's been forever since I've updated so I am now. I've got a couple of things to talk about. One is, I want to apologize for not uploading any photos in so long, I have a TON of them but I haven't been feeling the greatest and I've been pretty busy so I'll be uploading again soon.  <br /><br />And the 2nd thing is, I'm taking a trip to Minnesota on Monday the 19th for my brothers high school graduation!  Not sure if I'm excited or scared though, I haven't seen my family in about 2 years and I don't get along with half of them (my mom and uncle to name just a couple) but I'll get to see other family with whom I don't have problems with.  Maybe I'll get lucky and actually have a pleasant visit though...we'll see.  Other than those two things not much has been going on with me.  Adam and I had a car accident last week, but there's no damage to either of the vehicles and all I have is a lot of internal bruising from the seat belt.  I was thrown forward and the belt hurt my stomach pretty badly but it feels like it's getting a little better...Anyway, I'm sure you're bored with my rambling now so I'll let you get back to more important things, take care everyone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've updated my journal, so I figured now would be a good time.  Within the next few days I will be weeding out the deviations in my gallery that did not come from photo shoots.  That means all of the photos that I posted in the past that are not done by a professional or semi-professional photographer will be taken down.  The reason for this is because I'm trying to focus on getting as many shoots as possible set up and if a photographer stumbles or is directed to my gallery here, I want him/her to see that I'm serious about modeling and not just using the site to post silly photos of myself and friends or family.  Now, I will post some of those too, but if I do they will be submitted to scraps instead.  If I decide I want to keep any photos up that were not taken professionally, they will be resubmitted to scraps.  If anyone else has a preference on the non professional photos they want me to keep up, please let me know and I'll make sure they go to scraps so they can still be seen.  Well I guess that's all for now, hope you all have a wonderful holiday, take care.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I'm going to be uploading a ton of new photos as I just got 1,211 pictures back from my last two shoots with William Walsh <a href="http://williamwalsh.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/i/williamwalsh.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwilliamwalsh:" title="williamwalsh"/></a> and Arrik Kim <a href="http://carvenaked.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/carvenaked.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcarvenaked:" title="carvenaked"/></a> I've narrowed it down to a little over a hundred from each photographer that I want to post.  I hope none of you get overwhelmed with my posting and decide not to view them as I always welcome and encourage critique from anyone who is willing to offer it.  I will be submitting anywhere from 4-8 photos per day so it will be a while before they are all up but I'm determined to get them posted.  I'm also working again so I won't have as much time as I normally do otherwise there would be ten or more a day.  I am also trying to set up more shoots so there will be more pictures to come when I get them from the photographers I work with, but enough about that.<br />
<br />
I haven't been doing a whole lot lately, my computer is still on the fritz so I'm using an external monitor right now.  (the back light went out on my laptop monitor and doesn't look like it can be fixed to easily, not to mention I don't have the money to fix this stupid piece of crap) but I am still pretty active online, chatting with people mostly, on a website called IMVU that I recently joined, it's a pretty cool 3D messenger, but it's still in Beta and has some screwy things going on at the moment.  I'm working at a store called Party Cite as a "Halloween Expert" for the month of October (only temporary) and then I will be moving on to something new, unless they decide they want to keep me.  Well anyway, that about sums up what I've been doing as of the last few days.  I'll stop boring now, hope you enjoy the pictures I post and don't get too overwhelmed by the amount.  Take care everyone, love yas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Adam is working on it now so hopefully he can fix it but if not I may not have a computer for a while which means I will have limited time to check messages as I would have to use his to do so and he has to work.  I have a couple of photos shoots coming up but I won't be able to upload images until my crappy Dell is fixed or I get a new one.  It's driving me crazy because my computer is my only source of entertainment at the moment and now it's not working properly <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" />  Next time I'm not letting someone else buy a computer for me, I'm gonna buy it myself.....but first I need the money....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone.  I've been working on my website a bit lately and I know it's still not great but I have a solution for that.  I'm looking for members to join who actually POST stuff in the forums and photo galleries.  I don't want a ton of inactive members.  If you want to check out the site just go here ---> <a href="http://krystaldragon.boldlygoingnowhere.org.">[link]</a>  You can register if you have things you want to post.  Any suggestions for new forums and threads are welcome just go to the "Open Topic" forum and click on the "The Official Suggestion Thread"  I will consider all suggestions and will make a new thread or forum based on how many people seem interested in that idea (two or more people must be interested in order for me to create the forum/thread).  I know a lot of you on here who I think would be great assets to the site and will be sending you notes personally.  Please take the time to look things over and if you register, please post.  I think I'm pretty fair and it's a simple request.  I hope you enjoy what you see and read.  Thanks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday was my 19th birthday and I don't feel a day older.  It was a great birthday though, the first really good one I've ever had and it's thanks to Adam that it was so nice.  He spoiled me rotten with a ton of gifts.  He got me three different necklaces, a really cool knife, a talking Freddy Krueger bust, and beautiful renaissance style dress and quite a few other things.  And my mother  was the first to call and wish me a happy birthday, something that shocked and amazed me as she's very forgetful and doesn't care much for other people anyway.  I wish my father could have come to visit though along with a few friend from Michigan, but still, I was happy.  After all the gift unwrapping we went to Borders with a gift card I got from a friend and then we went to see Stardust and out to eat at a really good restaurant.  The movie was great, I loved it and so was the food.  But anyway, enough about that.<br />
<br />
Today I had a job interview for Barnes and Nobel Booksellers and it went well.  I hope I get the job.  The pay is kind of lousy but if I get enough hours then I should be able to start saving up again, which I'm looking forward to.  The employee benefits like discounts and everything are really good too, I'd get 30% off any book I bought even bargain books, and 50% of everything in the cafe as well as 20% off CD's and DVD's.  I think that quite makes up for the pay lol.  Well anyway I don't have anything else to say so I'll stop boring you all now.  Take care, love yas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, I just realized that it's been over two months since I've updated my journal.  Not a whole lot has been happening with me.  I'm looking for a new job...again.  My boss at Agway has cut my hours a couple of times in the two and half months since I've been there.  I went from four days a week, eight hours a day, to three days a week, four hours one day, six the next and then eight the last, and now I'm at two days a week, working four on Wednesdays and eight on Thursdays and I'm not bringing in nearly enough money to pay my portion of the rent so I'm looking for full time jobs with decent pay and plenty of hours because I really need to start saving up again, it's driving me crazy not having enough money for rent let alone anything else you know.  <br />
<br />
Other than that everything is decent with me, I've had a couple of photo shoots but don't have pictures back from either of them yet, but I'm hoping to get some soon.  One of the photographers and his girlfriend are coming out to my place for a cookout sometime in August and I have a couple of friends from work coming over tomorrow for one.  Well I guess that's about it for now, take care everyone, love ya <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, today was my first day working at Agway and so far it's pretty cool, very exhausting but cool.  I think this job might be easier to stay with than the car wash was, I'm working around plants which makes me happy and the people I work with are nice so far, though I still haven't met everyone.  Hopefully I'll get a fixed schedule soon and then I can start setting up shoots with photographers again.   Anyway, that's it for now, take care everyone, love ya <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I have great news.  Today I decided to go all over town and pick up job applications to fill out so Adam and I went to this big plaza with tons of stores and we walked around the entire thing and got applications, but nothing sounded hopeful because there weren't any "Now Hiring" signs.  After the plaza there was one other store on my list called Agway that sells plants and all kinds of gardening stuff which is exactly what I was looking for so I went in and asked for an application and was hired on the spot.  The guy (Joe) asked me a few questions about my qualifications and seemed satisfied so we went and had a little interview and he told me I start work at 9 in the morning on Monday.  I'm pretty excited because it sounds like it'll be a job I enjoy and it'll be so much better than working at a car wash with a bunch of jerks.  I'll still be doing modeling part time too.  So anyway, I guess thats it for now.  Take it easy everyone, love ya <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone.  Second photo shoot with a pro photographer was Friday and it was great.  I think he got some really good images though I'm still waiting for the CD to come in the mail.  As soon as I get it I'll upload a couple of pics for you to see.  I have three more shoots this month, one tomorrow the 20th with Walt Jedziniak, which I'm really looking forward to because that one sounds like it'll be the most fun out of the five this month other than my first one.  My fourth shoot is on the 23rd with Scott Yeoman, and I get paid for that one $150 (I got paid $200 for my second shoot YaY!).  And my fifth one is on the 28th in Easthampton, Massachusetts with a guy named Addam, and I may not be the only model in that shoot though that's still uncertain.  Any way I'm hoping to have a lot of fun at the very least and get some great images to share.  <br />
<br />
On another subject, I've been trying to cheer up my friend Richie for a couple of days now.  He's going through a really tough time at the moment and I feel bad because I can't help him as much as I'd like too.  He's a good guy but he's not being treated too fairly right now.  If you want to say hi and wish him luck on getting better soon you can visit his page (read his journal if you like) and hopefully cheer him up a bit.  His page is here --> <a href="http://ricodrayz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/i/ricodrayz.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ricodrayz" /></a>  Please stop by at least to say hello.  I think you'll find that he's a good guy and great friend.  I hope he's feeling better soon.<br />
<br />
That's about it for now everyone, sorry I've bored you yet again, take care love yas! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone, yesterday was my first photo shoot with David Moore <a href="http://mooreno.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/o/mooreno.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="mooreno" /></a> and Arrik Kim <a href="http://carvenaked.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/carvenaked.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="carvenaked" /></a> .   They were both wonderful to work with and they were polite and easy going the entire time, making it a lot better for me being a beginner and all.  We don't have a definite date set up yet but I believe in the upcoming months I will shoot with them again and take some fun easter shots.  I'm still coming up with ideas.  I will be posting some of the shots from yesterday later on when I have them resized and ready to upload.  You will notice that not all of them are nude, for some reason people tend to jump to conclusions about modeling being only nude work I guess, but  that's not all.  I plan on doing casual, fashion and glamor modeling too, and possibly some fantasy stuff later on.  I like nude work because there's nothing wrong with nudity and those who think so are only blind in my opinion.  I have another photo shoot coming up on Friday, March 16 with Mr. Ron Compton from Creative Images Studio in Avon, Connecticut.  We'll be doing a lot of fashion and casual and yes, there will be a few nude.  I hope you all like what you see (when I get around to posting it).  Anyway I don't have much else to say so I'll stop boring you now.  Take care everyone, love yas! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
Edit: I will also be submitting some pictures that Adam, my boyfriend took that are some "behind the scenes" photos of the photographers directing me and helping me prepare for the next shot.  If you want to see them, look in my scraps that's where they'll be.  Hope you all like them.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I know I've been slacking off and I'll make up for it I promise.  A few days ago after commenting on a few of my pictures someone sent me a link to the website ModelMayhem and suggested that I check things out and create an account in the hopes that I could get into modeling with professional photographers, so I checked it out and joined and within the first couple of hours I already had quite a few photographers asking if I was interested in a photo shoot with them.  After asking tons of questions and working out all the details I set up five photo shoot over the remaining weeks of this month.  My first on is on Tuesday the 13th with David Moore who is also a member of DA <a href="http://mooreno.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/o/mooreno.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="mooreno" /></a> check out his gallery, I'm sure you'll love his work.  I'm pretty excited about this and a just a little nervous too, but I'll have great professionally edited images to post to DA now.  I only hope that all of you like the pictures as well when they're submitted.  I don't have too much to say right now so I'll quit boring you all hehe.  Take care love yas! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone.  If you don't want to read this journal then don't, I just need to vent and let off a little steam and I figured this is just as good a place as any to do that.  <br />
<br />
Things at work have not been going well lately and I'm really pissed off at my boss and one of my co-workers.  They treat me differently because I'm a girl (I work at a car wash so they think that I can't handle it because it's a "mans" job).  On Sundays when the boss isn't there a guy named Julian is in charge, and it's really hard to understand him when he's talking to you because he's from Argentina and has a very strong accent and a high pitched voice and he's constantly bitching at me on Sundays for stupid things and saying that I'm not doing my job when I am so when he doesn't shut up and keeps repeating the same shit over and over again I get frustrated and angry and I end up yelling at him in return and telling him to leave me the hell alone and let me do my job.  His retaliation: telling the boss on Monday when he's there...I can't win.  It's also freezing outside right now and my uniform is definitely not warm enough for me to be standing outside for 6 hours or more, and I'm not allowed to wear a black headband to keep my damn ears warm it has to be blue to match the uniform, well correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't black go with everything?  It's a universal color there's nothing that it doesn't look good with!  I'm think I'm going to quit by the end of the month at the latest, sooner if I get pissed off enough or can't stay warm enough.  I know it's not the smartest thing but not only is there discrimination going on because I'm female therefore I'm "weaker", but I can't work with people who start bullshit.  I don't take bull from anyone I don't care who you are.  If I disagree with someone I'll tell them, no hesitation and I'll continue to be that way regardless of how much trouble it may eventually get me into, and my boss also wants me to work on my day off, saying I need to make sacrifices.  I shouldn't have to make those kinds of sacrifices when I'm already working six days a week and doing overtime so I just told him I wasn't going to do it because I had plans and I need to rest and warm up.  I've started looking for a new job already because it's best to have a back up when I quit.  But if I don't have one right away then I should have one soon, I won't give up until I find something I can do and still stay warm, not to mention have reasonable hours and a couple days off a week at the very least.  I'm not a someone who normally get frustrated by things like this, but it's just the combination of things that takes its toll.  Well anyway I think I'm done ranting now sorry about that.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also dyed my hair last Friday and it's pretty different from the color you are all used to to seeing on me so I'll take some pictures soon and post them for you all to take a look at and I hope you like it.  I think it turned out pretty nice considering that Adam has never dyed hair before and I let him do this for me.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello people.  I know it's been a short while since I've updated so I guess I'll bore you all again with nothing special.  Work is finally taking it's toll.  I can't stand some of the people I work with and it's hard being the only girl because they all look down on me.  My boss doesn't want me doing "heavy" work like lifting things and cleaning up certain things because I'm a ninety pound girl.  Well if he's that worried about it then why the hell did he hire me to begin with?  I did a ton of heavy work when I lived with my father, in fact, I did more of it than Rod (my boss) is doing now.  It's just getting on my nerves because they don't think I'm capable of anything just because I'm female.  And to top all of that off, we're wearing uniforms now and I look like a damn mechanic it's hideous.  I'm trying to save up some money though so what I think I'll do is start looking for another job, a better one and then work at the car wash part time so I can save some money and help with rent and the bills because that's important to me.  Other than work I haven't really been up to much.  Adam got me addicted to the TV show 24 and I hate TV usually but that's a damn good show.  I watched the entire first season in like a day and half and I just started the second season.  But anyway I'll quit boring you now and move on to the survey.  Take care all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> love yas.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello people.  I know it's been a while since I updated my journal so I figured I'd do so and let you all know what's going on, even though you probably don't really care lol.  But anyway, I started working at the car wash the day after Christmas and it's going great so far, I'm liking it, but it's tiring work which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Today I worked my first full ten hour shift (from 8 am to 6 pm) and now I'm extra tired and sore, but I'm making decent money so I can't complain.  Pretty soon I should be getting commission too and that'll be even more money!  <br />
<br />
I'm also going to try and get some editing and stuff done on some of my photos, I've been letting friends do that lately and it's not too bad.  I want to learn how to do some of that stuff myself though because I know what I like and it's just a pain in the ass trying to describe to other people what I want you know?  My Red Red Robe picture is one that I did myself and I'm really proud of it because I think it turned out great for something that I did haha.  <br />
<br />
I'm going to try to update this regularly but  I can't guarantee anything since I"m a little busier now but I'll try to keep up.  Thank you all for your wonderful comments, pageviews, and favs, they're really appreciated. <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I am still looking for people for to register on my personal site because I'm looking for suggestions on how to make it better or what kinds of forums other people would like, the only thing I ask is if you register and become a member, only do so if you actually plan on posting something in the forums.  The website is NOT just for pictures it's for discussion on many topics as well.  If it was for pictures only then I would not have other forums for discussion on there.  So if you are interested in becoming a registered member and plan on posting please do so, I would greatly appreciate having active members posting things to share with everyone.  As of this moment I have 22 members and only 6 or 7 of them actually post, which is irritating.  I don't want you to register if you just want to look at the nude photos.  If you're interested in registering you can click on this----> <a href="http://krystaldragon.boldlygoingnowhere.org">[link]</a> and check things out.  I'd love to have more members but I'd love to see what they have to say as well so please post something every once in a while if you do decide to register, it's a simple request please respect it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I finally got around to fixing up my personal website and making it accessible to everyone, there isn't much posted yet but there will be soon and hopefully some of you become registered users as well.  So go take a look but keep in mind that it is still under construction so it isn't necessarily the prettiest things but it's something for now.  I will keep working on it and making it better.  The link is here-----> <a href="http://www.krystaldragon.boldlygoingnowhere.org/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Hope you like what you see (even though it isn't much at the moment) and soon become a member.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: I am now looking for a dragon logo for my website, I'd prefer it to be a green dragon with a black background (black and green are going to be the colors of my site).  If anyone has any suggestions or pictures they would like to send me please do so, I'd like to get a logo up there soon and start personalizing the site, it's kind of plain right now and lacks character.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone.  Not a lot going on yet as usual.  Of course I am still looking for a job but no luck yet.  I have about 7 more places I want to check out, a couple are childcare places then some general labor things hopefully something works out.  I'm getting kind of impatient.  I've been here for nearly two months and I'd like to start helping out with bills and things so I don't feel so useless.  It'd be nice to have a little money and something to do as well, if I knew my way around town better and if it wasn't so cold out I'd go for walks and take pictures of some things, but oh well, I guess I'll get the chance to more interesting things when the weather gets warmer again.  Damn winter haha.  Anyway I'll quit rambling and get on with my next artist feature.<br />
<br />
<br />
This week I'm going feature <a href="http://dollsin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/o/dollsin.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="dollsin" /></a> she has some amazing artistic nude and conceptual photography.  What I like most about her work is the unique angles she uses in the photos and the ideas behind them.  She's a great person with excellent ideas and she's very sweet, so check out her gallery, I'm sure she'd appreciate the pageviews and comments.  <br />
<br />
Well I guess I'm done boring you all to death.  Take care all love yas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, not too much going on with me yet, just the same old stuff, still looking for a job and everything.  I'm still having trouble seeing things so when I'm on DA I only check a few things at a time.  Until I get my glasses or make enough money to get contacts I won't be too active it just hurts too much to look at the computer screen for a long time.  But any way I am still doing artist features so I will move on to that now.<br />
<br />
Today I am featuring <a href="http://yuudaisangel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yuudaisangel.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yuudaisangel" /></a> she is a good friend of mine who asked me if I would feature her in my journal and of course, I said I would.  She has some amazing pictures and excellent ideas.  She's learning how to manipulate and she's getting pretty good at it too, so please check out her gallery and tell her what you think, I'm sure she will appreciate it, and so would I.<br />
<br />
Well that's about it for now, I'm gonna go and stop my rambling.  Take care all, love yas! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey people, again there isn't too much going on with me, I haven't been uploading too many pictures or read too much on DA lately because I'm having problems with my eyes.  I need to get a hold of my dad and ask him to send me my glasses which I accidentally left at his house when I moved lol, dummy me.  But anyway, when I get my glasses I will probably be taking more photos and being active like I used to be lol. <br />
<br />
The job search continues, I'm finding it much harder to get a job than I originally thought I would, but that's okay I just hope I get a job before Christmas.  It's been five years since I've really celebrated Christmas and I'm really looking forward to it this year because I'll be spending it with an entirely new group of people now that I'm in Connecticut.  <br />
<br />
I am still doing artist features and I noticed no one commented on my last journal which makes me wonder if anyone actually looked at and checked out the artist I featured in that one, so I will put that artist in this journal along with a new one.  Please check out the galleries, it only take a minute people and these artists deserve all the recognition they can get.<br />
<br />
I'm Featuring <a href="http://kid-izzy.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kid-izzy.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="kid-izzy" /></a> again. <br />
she is an extremely talented artist who draws anime and manga characters.  Her style and use of color is magnificent.  I've been friends with Izzy for about 5 years now and I have watched her progress and get better (not that it took much, she was amazing to begin with) so please look at her gallery and all of her beautiful work, I know she'd appreciate it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Next I am going to feature my best friend and sister <a href="http://ravinashadowcaster.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/ravinashadowcaster.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ravinashadowcaster" /></a> <br />
she writes great angsty poetry that readers can relate to and she posts pictures.  The photos are fun pictures of herself and her friends as well as family.  She is new on her account and is looking for friends, please pay her a visit she deserves it.  Thanks all.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I figured it was time to update my journal because I'm bored lol.  Not too much is going on, the job search continues unfortunately.  I will be getting more applications to fill out soon I hope and maybe this time something will fall through, it's getting hard not having a job at the moment, I want to start helping out around here you know helping to pay the bills and everything since I live here too.  Well anyway I will do another artist feature now lol. <br />
<br />
<br />
This week I am featuring <a href="http://kid-izzy.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kid-izzy.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="kid-izzy" /></a><br />
<br />
She has some amazing artwork, mostly manga and anime.  She's been a great friend of mine for about five years now (since freshman year of high school when I was still in Michigan lol).  I love all of her work it's just that good, so go check out her gallery it's awesome and I"m sure you'll love it just as much as I do, and I bet she'll really appreciate it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I have come up with two new and, in my opinion, unique ideas that I have never seen photos of before.  One idea is to take a photo depicting each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, wrath, envy, gluttony, sloth, lust, and greed.  And the other idea is depict See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.  What I am looking for is ideas suggestions and possibly some stock to use in these photos.  What I will do is take pictures of what I want them to look like and post them in scraps, and I would like suggestions about facial expressions and body positions, as well as some good kind of spooky stock to use in the background.  Experimenting with these photos will give an opportunity to learn more about photo manipulation and different textures and other features.  Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey there  everyone.  I'll try not to make this long but there are a few things I would like to share with those that watch me.  First off: Please if you don't like my photos tell me.  I always put up Advanced Critique Encouraged because I'd like to know how I can make my pictures better.  If you have no critique that is fine of course, I love it when my photos are added to your favorites, but then again, who doesn't hehe.  Secondly, I have a few more photos that I would like to post soon but I'm not sure how long it'll take because I'm moving on Wednesday and I'll pretty busy for the next couple of days.  Today my friend Heather and I took a lot of photos.  Just goofy ones at first of the two of us together which I will get posted soon I promise, but later on in the day I decided that I would like to pay one last visit to the Oakhill Cemetary while I was still in Pontiac so she and I went up there, dressed up and did a mini "photo shoot" mind you this is the VERY first time I've done anything like this and admittedly the photos aren't the greatest thing but I had a lot of fun taking them.  Most likely those 60 photos (or more) will be posted some time this weekend or early next week, depending on how things go.  I would like positive feedback on my pictures because I am trying to get better and I'm looking for tons of new ideas, so anything you can think of that would help in any way is certainly appreciated....Well I think I've taken up enough of your time, thanks for reading.  Take care everyone <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, thought I should update my journal and let you all know that I am moving to Connecticut next week on Wednesday.  Time to get out of Michigan and be with my ninja.  I'm really looking forward to moving, it'll be the first big step I've taken.  I have accomplished a couple of goals already one of which was graduating high school and now I think it's time to do something more.  Being here is driving me crazy because I so badly want to be there.  But I can make it a few more days I suppose.  Hopefully it all works out like we want it to.  Well I'm gonna go for now.  Take care all, love yas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
