                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone. I hope you're all having a good holiday.  I'm certainly enjoying some time off of college, but I have to admit I hate Christmas. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I'm going to be deleting some old deviations... some photography & some poetry.  I've been getting back into writing a bit so there will be new poetry submissions with perhaps fun photos to go with them.  Because I hate Winter so much, most of my future deviations will be a lot of shots of anything but snow... except for this one shoot that involves a girl in a dress & freezing her ass off out in the snow.<br /><br />Also, I have been looking into getting an upgraded DA account for a while.  So I ask all of those who already have a paid DA account.... Is it worth it?  & how much do you like it?  I'm a poor college student here.  I like to use my money wisely. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I'd also like to thank everyone who has decided to watch me these past few months!!  Thanks for your support!<br />So I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'd like to first off thank everyone who have been favoriting my works lately & those who have been giving me compliments & good advice towards my attempted photography.  I can't believe I've been a member on here for three years... Time flies by so fast.<br /><br />Also, I'd like to inform people that I am going photoshoot costume crazy lately.  I have some quite a few people now who are willing to be models for me, which is amazing. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />  So everyone should expect a lot of pictures to be uploaded!<br /><br />Once again.<br />Thanks to everyone for your support. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br /><br />~Miss.

I also apologize for the future overload of them as well.  I think flowers are my most favorite thing to capture with a camera.<br /><br />Also, I've been writing a lot lately... But have to go through my poetry & pick a few poems to share with you all.<br /><br />Other than that... How is everyone's Spring going & did anyone have an exciting april fool's day?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone, of what little of my friends that actually come onto DA anymore. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />  <br /><br />So... I have updates involving DA.  First off, I bought a new camera that I consider to be a borderline photography camera.  It's a canon G10.  Yeah, I know... I'm broke.  I can't afford a couple thousand dollar camera right now, although I want to.  Actually, I used my future graduation money on this camera, so now I'm officially broke & in debt. T_T  But because of this new addition... & for the sake of my OCD, I'm going to be going through old deviations & deleting a lot of them.  So in advance, I'm sorry to the few that favored the works that I'm going to delete.  Also, I'm not going to submit as much poetry.  I fear that some of my poems could have been stolen & be under the name of someone else.  Although not common, I've seen it happen... & if I make a poem & actually really like it, I regretfully am not going to post it for the world to read.  So that means, the "good" poetry won't be for you to read.  I apologize, but due to my anger issues, I'd go to jail over a poem... because I'd have to kill someone if they stole my stuff. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br /><br />So in the future... be expecting, well, maybe some good photos!  It depends on your perspective.  Either way, I'm really excited to have a good camera now... & am going to go photo happy for a while, especially since spring is right around the corner & that calls for lots of flowers.<br /><br />&... well, that's about it.  I don't really post about my personal life on DA, so I'm sorry I barely post journal entries, but I am alive!  I'm also going to try & make more time to view other people's deviations.<br /><br />I hope everyone's doing great.<br /><br /><br /><br />Oh & P.S.<br />Finding literary agents suck!<br /><br />P.S.S<br />My hair is bright purple! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />  Not that the virtual world cares.<br /><br />P.S.S<br />I love you, DA. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />Haha... had to add that, thanks to a certain novel.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know it's been a million years since I've posted a joural.  I'm not just an update person on my life.  I have too much of a life to even tell about it!  I'm going insane.<br /><br />But I need some help with DeviantArt.  Okay, so I'm writing a new book & I think I want an artist to make the cover for me this year.  Does anyone know any really good digital  fantasy painters on DA that would help me for a fair price?  Also, does anyone know that if the owner of the photo signed a contract saying that they give me rights to redistribute their work, if DA can still sew & say that they have copyrights & whatnot over it?<br /><br />I'm just looking around for good digital artists though, mainly.<br /><br />Help me?<br /><br />Thanks. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I have a few photos I'd like to upload to DA & many ideas for poetry, but I can't stress how much I wish there was 8 days in a week and a few more hours in the day.  I'm really stressed & am really lacking in the sleep area.<br />

The first person to rescue me gets a dollar!<br />

Society is so crazy with these constant schedules.. no wonder everyone seems to die off at a younger age.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ How's everyone's summer going?  I know some of you have taken some breaks from DA, sadly, because of the short but free months.<br />
<br />
I haven't been able to write much... And if I do, I usually hide it away for personal reasons.<br />
<br />
Summer's boring, not so hot, and I feel.. being wasted away.  I'm not out doing something everyday & I'm not as nocturnal this year.  The time is getting difficult to pass by for the hours I am home.  Anyone have any good advice of how to keep myself entertained?<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to everyone's awesome writing and great photography!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Seems I've dissapeared from here for a while.  Couldn't even pull myself to write a journal explaining I'd most likely dissapear.<br />
<br />
There's just some stuff going on in my life right now + bombardment of school work and the excitement and preparation of a future summer.<br />
<br />
I have some photos and even a sketchy-thing to put up but I don't have time to right now.  I'm sorry to those that I usually comment and critique.  Trust me, it will just be late, not forgotten.<br />
<br />
I feel like I've been in a trance lately: deathly tired and very systematic lately.  I don't even pay attention to what I do... I'm getting lost in my thoughts.  Might be a bad idea for me to think sometimes. haha<br />
<br />
I'll return hopefully soon with a lot of time to spare for DA.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I know I don't write many journals... but here I am.<br />
<br />
I'm getting a little bit behind on reading everyone's deviations.  Sorry, everyone.  It's just school and such is all stress.  I'll be back up on those again soon. ^^<br />
<br />
I'm not quite sure if it's me... or if it really is reality, but everyone who used to comment all my work has seemed to have died or neglected the thought of it again.  It was extremly helpful to know what I was either doing wrong or right.. ecspecially with my new fun toy of a camera.  Sometimes it's even nice to just discuss situations going on with me that's expressed through my poetry.<br />
<br />
Where have all you dead people gone? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
I've stopped writing my new book completly.  Life is too short... and the days escape me like sand.  I should just live in a giant hourglass.. ha, for that's how I really feel.  I'm sure I will get my inspiaration back up.  If not soon, I'm sure writing will never leave me.<br />
<br />
So other than all this, how is everyone doing?  Spring is here and the days are starting to look lovely again.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It seems they're at least acceptable though... cause people are +fav-ing them. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />   Thanks to everyone who's enjoying my work!<br />
<br />
I haven't been able to write petry lately.. I've been starting up on my book every here and there.  I wish I had forever to write... but it's such a hectic schedule that when I do get a day off, all I honestly want to do.. is just relax... drink some coffee and relax...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I despise valentine's day.  Odd that I made a poem about love.. yeah yeah.. I'm happy to be in a relationship, but bad things always happen on this day.  Example:  there's a foot of snow outside so I don't get to go see my love anyway.<br />
<br />
haha, but how was everyone else's ugly heart day?  Who got lovely roses?<br />
<br />
Check out my new poems: Love and Tough Love.  I don't think they're as great as my others because they were plainly spilled from my heart sloppily.. I honestly just can't think at times.. I'm too sad to even care sometimes.  Tell me what you think, pwease.<br />
<br />
Happy Day!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow!  *wipes the dust off my journal*  It's been like half a year since I've left a new journal.  Urm, my life isn't exciting enough for a journal?  Well, ok, it's exciting, but nothing you guys care about....<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, at least I've been updating on the poetry?  Sadly, not as many people comment anymore, ecspecially the ones I comment of their poetry but they don't of mine.  Well, this isn't a fair game, ha never was.  Just enjoy knowing whether I could do better or if you thought I did well on my work.<br />
<br />
Oh, and happy late new years!  Even though I hate the new year... I have a problem with accepting time moving on. o.O<br />
<br />
More poetry to come soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is long.. just some thoughts.. about life.. about certain situations.  I think only one person on DA knows who some of these people are.  You don't have to read if you don't want to... but... I feel it will move you.<br />
<br />
[No, I'm not emo >.< ]<br />
<br />
Why is it life can be so cruel, so merciless, and so unfair?  It seems it always nags at those that are good and full of hope. Those that get what they don't deserve, and in turn, become evil in rebellion.  They screw themselves over to drugs, medication, alcohol,  and sex.  Temporarily releif, forevermore consequence.  The pattern continues and those that were once blessed with happiness, now so cruel, hurt those so good.  It seems now that everyone rebels against the world's once dominating "God".  Religion shouldn't be forced upon anyone, but it's sad how no one can beleive in anything at all.  We're all trying to find ourselves in a sea of unexplainable creation.  Everyone suffers blames it on the upper hand... but what about the lower?  What about the evil guy below us that no one ever fears to talk about?<br />
And why is it love, soemthing meant to be so beautiful, is rotten and poisonous?  When you try to explain to someone that they're walking into a trap, why are they so stubborn?  Why can they only see the light, even if it's fake?  I know I've felt that... so stubborn was I.  For a year and a half, I wanted my darling to be mine, and when it came to listening to others... well, they had no idea what they were talking about.  I didn't see the truth until I was the one who was left behind, for an innocent mistake.  My name was cursed upon, my heart shoved back into my own hands.  Not until I walked away did I see all the woe and count the tears and all the negative smiles.  Why do we do this?  And really, what makes a person like a person if there's no common interests or joys.  What if they're not even compatable to your "type"?  Do they find each other interesting and new?  Maybe something inside their personality or energy oneself cannot atain?<br />
Ah, life's so cruel... so very cruel.<br />
"Get a helmet" one friend of mine always quotes, but what if it's broken and you don't want to become numb?<br />
It also seems society itself no longer has sweet emotions.  No one cares.  We are conceded.  No compassion, mercy, sympathy, or passion in our lives.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the world: Hell's Kitchen<br />
<br />
Yes, we all have to fight... and I will drown down in it for I can't stop trying to help people.  I could say at least I tried with passion, at least I bled for reason, at least I made a few smile.  I can't stop trying to help myself. ]]></description>

Well, on the highlight of my summer, it's been raining for the past week and sadly most of PA is under floods.  I even wrote a small piece on it, but I don't know if I should leave it as a deviation or not?  You tell me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, how has everyone's summer been?  I wish to travel to england and europe soooo bad!!!  But I can't, I have no money. T_T  So, I'll just waste the next two months on my little countryside. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yah.. so here I am in school. The weekend was okay.  I had no school thurs. because of snow and we had fri. off and my bf came over sat and we watched movies.  I woke up dead tired and sick yesterday around 3pm and attempted to go back to sleep but people kept waking me up.  Finally, my neice forced me to go ice skating with her on the creek and now I am so sick.. I can't even think right.  *falls over and dies*  On top of that, I wore a long skirt today.  I haven't worn a skirt in years!  Years!!  I despise the things.. but I felt like being different. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />  Also, track starts today and oh joy, I get to run around in circles and barely breathe in the cold.  I'll give you a cookie if you come save me.<br />
<br />
Ok.. I'm done with my ranting now.. I have a poem I'm going to try to upload later.. (if I'm alive).<br />
<br />
Hope you're all having a better time than me. ]]></description>

This is a public announcement: I have a new icon!!  Praise it and love it!! (or else <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/chainsaw.gif" width="49" height="20" alt=":chainsaw:" title="Chainsaw" />)  Also, I have a new poem up and I'd like to thank everyone who has left such wonderful comments and words of hope and consolation.  It means a lot to me.  The angels have sent me a blessing... a simple blessing for someone to keep their life.  Well... that's about it.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm in the middle of a messed up scheduled day of school.  I thought I'd sneak on for a bit.  I have never enjoyed wretched heart day, and I suppose I still don't.  I wish you all a happy day though.  I must say though.. that this is the first one that I've smiled at.  I received a dozen roses mixed with beautiful purple flowers from a *certain someone*.  I don't even know how they knew my favorite colors?!  Hehe.. well I guess I can't complain that much this year.  I haven't been writing much on my own free will... a lot of it has been for english asignments and creative writing classes.  I did a prelouge(sp?) for one of poe's stories and it's only a page-ish long so I think I'll share it on DA with you all later.  Till then, ta ta, and please don't contribute to the statistics of the death rate for this day. ]]></description>

My book signing's gonna be at B&N in Wilkes-Barre on the 25th and I absolutly cannot wait... I was told that they have a poster featuring my book and everything, but I won't know until I actually get up there to check out the store.  I wrote a poem last night and I should be putting it up today after weight lifting practice at school if I have time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Well, that's about it.

For the past week or so, I've been in the "feel crappy kind of sick" mode.  I've been participating in winter sports and my insomnia has not been pleasant lately.  As I look at my message thing now.. it tells me I have 110 messages and that's just crazy.  It'll take me hours to answer each and every message... and I'm answering them a few at a time, so if I don't respond to you within the current day.. or even a couple of days, I greatly apologize.  Ack, I wish there was like 30 hours a day, not 24. -.- ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've created a new image for DA as "pikachick" because DannyTheSkunk requested me to.  (I rp way to much <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />)  I'll be puttin it up in a few days.  WARNING: My computerized images suck. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />    I haven't been on DA lately.  I've just been feeling lazy.  I come home, turn the music up all the way and remain seated in my chair blanky staring at objects until I'm forced to to go sleep.  Sorry that I haven't been immidiately answering you peoples. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I'm trying.. but man some of you guys make long comments n such (yah, hibbibuddist, you're the top seller on that list <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />)  I guess life hasn't been going that great lately.  I've been getting into a lot of fights with my friends.  Usually I don't mad at people, I get mad at situations, but I guess it's just been gettin to me lately.  One friend is just trying to protect me but hurting me in the process and it killed me to tell him I wasn't gonna talk to him for a while, another is just plainly being retarded and selfish in life while realizing I am nonexistant, and everyone is just retarded.  Lousy teen people... they're so immature on things I'm ignoring life.  I feel lonely and jees... I never thought fighting with friends brought pain.  o.O  It's been like... my first friend fights ever and they're a pain in the bum... so I apologize if I don't get back to all of you on things or even on here a lot cause I just need to take a chill pill and relax.  I'm so frustrated and fed up I'm having a current poetry writers block and I haven't had one of those in years.  Well, I hope everyone's having just peachy lives in the new years! ^^<br />
<br />
The last poem I made before I couldn't write anymore::<br />
Lovely little disorders<br />
tell my mind it's orders;<br />
Think what you want<br />
but don't dare flaunt;<br />
Anger ends my fights<br />
for me this isn't right;<br />
Why here so lately<br />
am I left so angry;<br />
This isn't me, my flaw,<br />
say your words and draw;<br />
Fine, become my enemies,<br />
I'll stick with my intergrities;<br />
Lone I will hereby stand,<br />
isn't life so friggen grand;<br />
Everyone, anyone, immoral,<br />
untill my eyes turn sorrel.<br />
<br />
(Yes, it was too bad to put as a deviation) ]]></description>

So... anyway... I am back!  Christmas vacation was not as good and enjoyable as I had expected it to be and I don't even want to get into my new years for I have a very negative outlook on things.  My insomnia really caught up with me last week, that when I went back to school yesterday... I could not fall asleep until 5:30 and I was sleeping in almost every class.  I am surprised that I did not pass out in the hallway.  We had a snow day today and I looked at hte roads at noon and there is no snow or anything out there!  I actually wanted to go to school today too... I need to get outside this stuffy house.  I want to go ice skating sooo bad... even if I do dislike winter.<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone for all your wonderful comments on all of my works!!  They are appreciated so much... you guys really inspire me to write sometimes.  Also, since I recently got a scanner over the vacation, I can now scan some of my drawings... well, I wouldn't exactly call them drawings... let's try attempted squiggles of slightly more talent than of stick figures?  hehe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
I haven't had much to upload onto DA lately.. and my recent work that I did write.. I don't wish to put on DA.  I believe it goes too deep and too morbid to let people see... I mean... c'mon!  I am a happy person as well. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
Well, that's about it... I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, I'm just making it as a note that even though it's Christmas vacation, I won't be on DA much or be making a lot of works of art until school starts up.  I might come on every once and a while for a few seconds, but I have a lot of places to go during vacation and I'm actually getting out and away from my obsession of this technological screen I sit in front of on a daily basis.  I have ten million messages and I won't be able to answer them all for a while... please don't shoot me, I WILL comment on your new works of art when I am here... so I'll still critique you all even if it's like a week or two after it was placed on DA.  For my latest work, it was a winter related photo.  I do other things than write... and I felt like messing with my psp8.  It has a poem with it as well though.  Please check it out and tell me what you think.  If you think I am ugly as a piece of dirty snow or think it was a poorly taken pictue, please do not put the opposite and say 'OMG YOU'RE SO PRETTY" and "THIS PICTURE WAS SO WELL DONE" cause I'll brutally attack you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />   Well, anyway, Happy Holidays everyone!!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowflake.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":snowflake:" title="Snowflake" />  Have fun rippin presents open, and please, stay safe on new years.  We don't need drunks killing each other!!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There is a new place called "YOUniverse" locally in my area.  It's a once a month nightly show for art, dancing, singing, poetry reading, ect.  Basically, it's anything to do with the talented arts.  I've always wanted to go to one of those coffee shops for the reading of poetry and get up on stage and read something.. I assume I'll have to visit NYC someday for that, but I've decided I'm going to submit two of my poetry selections and I'll be reading a small section of my book for some publicity.  If they like my stuff, they'll book me for the month of Feb.  I've decided I'm going to read aloud "recollections" but of the existing poetry I already have, I'm not sure what other poem I should read.  This is where I need all of your suggestions.  I'll give cookies to those that help!! ]]></description>

But I did get some sexy presents for people. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />  Leave me some warming love to wash away the snow. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flame.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":flame:" title="Flame" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So here's my first journal entry.  I'm not really into the whole journal thing so you probably won't find many updates on it.  I enjoy this site and I've already made some friends so it's all good.  Check out my scrap section for a snapshot of yours truly (be aware: my face scares people XP).  Who wants to help me draw some more friends in? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />  <br />
<br />
Well, anyway, I hope to have some more poetry up soon as soon as I can find them on my computer... >.<  <br />
<br />
I don't really have anything to say here haha so I guess I'll let this be my conclusion.  I hope to find this site helpful to me in the future.<br />
<br />
