1) What author do you own the most books by?
Technically Kaori Yuki since I have 5-20 of Angel Sanctuary ([link]), but since I don't count that... *thinks* Chuck Palahniuk. I have everything except his book about Portland (Nonfiction) ([link]), and his new one, Pygmy. ([link])

2) What book do you own the most copies of?
If this was DVD's I could actually answer, since it's books... I think none? Oh, well I technically have two copies of Snuff by Chuck P. ([link])

3) Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
Noooooope.

4) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
*ponders* I'm particularly fond of Roland from the Dark Tower series, ([link]) he seems amazingly sexy to me for some reason. As far as non-literary? Dean Winchester? ([link]) *cheesy grin*

5) What book have you read the most times in your life?
Haha does Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now? ([link]) by Dr. Seuss count? Novel-wise, Choke ([link]) by Chuck P or Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut. ([link]) Those two are without a doubt two of my very favorites of all time. And The Stand by Stephen King, but I've only read it once cuz it's LOOOOONG. ([link])

6) What was your favorite book when you were ten years old?
Teacher Vic is a Vampire...Retired. I loved that book.

7) What's the worst book you've read this past year?
Haha if I don't like a book I quit reading. I really haven't read anything terrible this year. Oh, WAIT. I read it in 2008 but it was within the past 12 months. Kung Fu High School. It was dumber than hell and it was depressing. ([link])

8) What is the best book you've read this past year?
Shit when did I read Out? Uhh.. cuz that's the best book I've read in a long, long time. ([link]) Seriously. It's fucking amazing.

9) If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?
Probably Illusions. Really short but absolutely amazing. It really makes you question different aspects of life. ([link]) Oddly enough it isn't really religious, despite the title.

10) Who deserves to win the next Nobel Prize for literature?
Oh wow. Piss if I know. I don't exactly read the sorts of books that deserve Nobel Prizes. Can I say Vonnegut just b... ]]> ~danirat Meme and I lost my CSS. *POUT* http://danirat.deviantart.com/journal/23612774/ http://danirat.deviantart.com/journal/23612774/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:10:28 PDT Sad Dani.

I moved back to Atlanta. Perhaps temporarily, maybe for good. I really don't know. In the process I broke the heart of the love of my life, and I feel like complete shit about it. Why can't love be enough to cross all boundaries?

Fuck.

I'm so ready to really get used to things here. Feeling like a tourist all the time sucks. At least now I have a house to sleep in that's not a friend's. My own bedroom with a door is great too.

The best thing is that I've got a couple of friends here already, friends of Eric's that are becoming my friends too. They're really nice people, and they've been showing us around.

Gotta go.

It was nice to get out and do something with my friends today, and artistic stuff at that. Tomorrow I think I'm going to finish cleaning my room, since it's the last day of my little mini-vacation and my room is still a pit of despair.

I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of my new stuff!

If anyone will want to see pictures, let me know. I did Lust tonight. I'm doing them all in black and white only. (Actually offwhite, but SHHH) against a navy blue background thingy.

Good news and bad news I guess. It looks like Hippie is gonna be okay, which is most definitely good news. I'm now a shift lead at my job, which is a promotion and nice, but tonight was HELL at work. Oh, and now I have to work two days next week that I wasn't supposed to work. My boss was giving me a guilt trip about it too. Guh.

I guess that's it. I'm still researching stuff for my comic book, so there's not a lot to update with on that, besides the fact that I'm learning a lot of Hoodoo. Weird, dangerous, CRAZY stuff. A lot of rooster blood is used, which is odd to me. Anyway, that's all. Off to listen to music and read and what not.

Anyway, I got tagged.

The stated rules are:
First, the tagger says 6 habits/things about themself.
Next, the tagger picks 6 other people to tag and lists them on the their journal.
Then, those picked 6 people need to do a journal entry explaining the rules clearly and do 6 habits/things about theirselves, too.
Remember: after doing this, you leave a comment on the people you picked's DA page stating that they have been tagged and tell them to read your journal for details.

1) I'm afraid of sharks and really big pigs.

2) I have an infected taste bud on my tongue, and it's driving me insane.

3) I push my cuticles back with my fingernails habitually.

4) I fiddle with my necklace when I'm nervous.

5) I used to play Pokemon...

6) I used to be hemophobic so I went on a spree of watching bloody movies to desensitize myself to it.

I TAG:

At any rate, working a lot and not really having much of a chance to do anything artistic sucks. At least I'm learning valuable things for the future. Like, how to make morbidly obese people look good. And by morbidly obese I mean I had someone that weighed 400lbs come in to get pictures done. Yeah.

That was fun. >.<

I need a snuggle like nobody's business. Don't you hate that?

I'm referring to this time in my life, and the things I've been thinking about.. and I think I might want to join the Peace Corps or the military, because I really want to see the world and I don't have the funds to do it any other way. I honestly have this feeling, that if I don't push myself and do something extreme, I'm going to end up just like every other fucker here..

I refuse to work in a cubicle.

In other news, I think I'm going to either quit my job or get fired. Probably the latter, since I am apparently useless.. at least that's how my boss seems to see it.

I am SO fucking confused right now.

In other news, anyone who still wants their prizes/art from me, or if you want something different, PLEASE let me know here so I can get to work, now that I have a little bit of time.

I'm gonna make an Anastasia comic, and Ivy and I are gonna make a comic, so expect lots of art soon!

]]> ~danirat Bringing back the community. http://danirat.deviantart.com/journal/6079056/ http://danirat.deviantart.com/journal/6079056/ Sat, 30 Jul 2005 15:26:26 PDT

Okay, folks. Here's the deal.

By now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka , is now a FORMER Staff Member.

I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.

DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.

If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a

and a

.

We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.

But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.

Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt.

Hells yeah.

In other news, my boy is out of town and I'm losing my mind, plus, I spent way too much money and now I have to watch every cent that leaves my hand! GREAT!

My life is really really weird right now, I don't even know what to say about it. ANYONE, if I owe you ANYTHING art-wise, I apologize for the massive lateness. Seriously, my life is so crazy right now I'm suprised I get art done just for myself, for fun. Doodles even. It's not that hectic, just really really strange.

I got a tattoo of a lizard on my ankle on my 18th birthday. That was kind of cool.

I have no idea of even what to say here. Oh, I want to see Corpse Bride.

I think that's it.

Eh.

I also can't read my magazine anymore because my teacher said "Maxim" is innapropriate for class. I wasn't even looking at the pictures.. I was reading an article about the prison system. Grrrr.. someone ratted me out. Damn them, those Napoleon loving little bastards.

I'm stuck in here for another hour with these retards.

That's okay.. I graduate this week.. I never have to come back to this pit again. Otherwise I would have to beat my own head in with a large rock. A LARGE ROCK.

Did a photoshoot yesterday. Results up today or tomorrow.. depending on my lazy factor.

Peace.

That is good. Yes, goood.

In other news, I rode a motorcycle for the first time. It was good fun, but really scary.

Washi, I'll have my contest entry up tomorrow night. It's done but I'm too tired to upload it now.

Um, contest prizes still being finished. Stan's is almost done (drawn, half colored), and the other two are still concepts. Sorry for the delay, life has been hectic.

Peace.

-Two of my closest friends are at each other's throats, and I'm caught in the middle. I believe one friend is right, and the other is not, but I do care about both of them so I'm pretty screwed. After losing my best friend last year to the hospital, I've been really clingy with my friends. And now, this. *sigh* I'm not really mad at either one of them, just pissed at the situation in general. I also know that I got myself involved in it, and I'm a little bit pissed at myself for that.

-I hate my school. I went to the art show last night and they're like "THIS IS ART." It made me feel like I will never be an artist, because in order to create art you have to express emotion, and the only thing I create is blah. I't looks decent, it's a pretty picture, but it's not art. That is frustrating in ways I can't even begin to describe.

*sigh* I'm done ranting for now. Later.

Ass.
