                <description><![CDATA[ Uploaded some prints from my Editorial class that I hope you will enjoy. Lately I've been having trouble focusing my images--this could be a lens problem, an eye problem, a light problem, or an enlarger problem. I think it is probably an eye problem or a light problem. I'm not entirely used to shooting in dark settings with strobes, and it's hard to focus the camera. Either that or my vision is going. I'm thinking about having an eye appointment sometime. I've always kind of wanted to wear glasses.<br /><br />Anyway, I haven't made many drawings in my art journal recently, so maybe I should work on that.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a happy October.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Put up some pages from my art journal today. Also I've been doing some fun Haruhi fanart/cosplay stuff that you can see in my gallery. Nothing too serious or technical recently. My art student days are over, for now.<br /><br />It's back to the photography student days, though.<br /><br />Ever feel like you make too many mistakes for just one person? I feel like that sometimes. Every day I get a little older but I'm no more confident or brave than I was at thirteen.<br /><br />I guess we just have today.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The good news is, I can use the site again. The bad news is...it still kind of sucks.<br />
<br />
But I'll be around, by and by.<br />
<br />
Looking at Summer Rain recently, I realized that it...doesn't look quite right at all? Weird how you don't notice these things for a long time. I want to change the style a little and get it looking nice. In the meantime, a "short" manga I came up with will be on the <a href="http://summerrain.comicgen.com">website.</a> I say "short" because like everything else, it will probably take me a "long" time to finish. The fact is, I'm in college now and everything's like this. (And for those of you who still like FERAL: no worries, it's not dead!)<br />
<br />
I will try and put up some images from my photography class and other such things as soon as I can.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The reason you haven't seen many comics up lately is because I've been working diligently on Summer Rain's new homepage.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://summerrain.comicgen.com">SURPRISE.</a></b><br />
<br />
Also, deviantArt's new skin deal doesn't exactly work on my computer. Not everything shows up where it should, and the result is this:<br />
1.) I can't reply to your comments. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But thank you very much for commenting. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
2.) I can't see your deviations. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I don't know why this is.<br />
3.) It generally makes everything hard.<br />
<br />
So you might not see a lot of me in the near future. I really don't know how to solve this problem aside from upgrading to OS X, and that's not going to happen just so I can access one website better. Although it would be nice, and it would mean that I could play <a href="http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru.html">Lugaru</a>. But that's beside the point.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, if you find yourself missing me, you can busy yourself by reading and reviewing at my <a href="http://fictionpress.com/~agentfirefly">fictionpress</a> site (you don't have to be a member to review <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> ) or visiting the new <a href="http://summerrain.comicgen.com">Summer Rain</a> page and signing the <a href="http://www.Freeguestbooks.net/mg/multi.pl?14387:14:0">guestbook</a>. I might post another comic or two on here, but the story is going to continue on the new website, just like <a href="http://feral.comicgen.com">FERAL</a> did. (Enough links for you?)<br />
<br />
Enjoy. See you at base camp. ]]></description>

<br />
Prices would be reasonable depending on size and media. Like, say, nothing over 20 dollars.<br />
<br />
I've also got 2 copies of "FERAL: The First Chapters" left if anyone's interested in buying them off me.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you'd be interested in buying anything and supporting a needy college kid. I'll have to set up a Paypal account or something to make it work, but I'm not going to bother yet if no one wants anything. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know why I still have this screen name. It's embarrassing, kind of. It reminds me of eighth grade and how long I've had this site and how old I'm getting. And all the stupid internet-isms I've gone through in the past ages. My life is anchored in front of a screen, it seems. Don't we all have that problem, though?<br />
<br />
Graduation is soon, less than a month, and it's strange. This marks the end of high school. Time to sprout my proverbial wings and soar toward a horizon brilliant with success and careers and 2.3 children.<br />
<br />
Cha, yeah. It may disappoint My Country Tis Of Thee, but I don't want any of that.<br />
<br />
I'm going to major in mass communications with a concentration in photography. This is raw territory for me, and that's really why I'm looking forward to it. I want to become well-versed in a bunch of different things--not necessarily <i>great</i> at any of them--and then go places. Go to Africa and take pictures or make movies, go back to New Orleans and help them rebuild, because my passion lies in those areas. If I were strong enough, I would love to be a construction worker.<br />
<br />
I'm going to keep writing poetry and making pictures and singing songs. I'm going to keep my hopes up about my very special boyfriend and getting myself out of the country to see God work in poverty, even though I don't want lots of money to work with or 2.3 children as a reward.<br />
<br />
I'm going to learn what it means again to wake up in the morning and not feel like going back to sleep, no matter how stinking early it is. ]]></description>

In other news, there is something going on in Uganda that you should know about, you can check it out and read about it here: <a href="http://invisiblechildren.com">[link]</a><br />
The Invisible Children movement's purpose is to bring hope and safety to these people, and you can be part of ending the war through Global Night Commute. You can read about that on the site as well; it will be a nationwide event on April 29th. I encourage EVERYONE to take part in this. It will be life changing. ]]></description>

I guess I would have to put something like "<3<3lol WHOEVER CACTHES MY 3K GETS A KIRIBAN <3<3" if I wanted that to be the case. As it is, catch some memorable-looking number by accident if you want, and if you want, sure, I'll draw you something. I'll draw you something if you DON'T catch a memorable-looking number. I don't know why I'm writing this, actually.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, because I finally fixed the template a little on my comic site and it looks better and has more stuff in it, so you should go right now and read some comics. <a href="http://feral.comicgen.com">[link]</a><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Wowers. Thanks to all you people who faved that "I'm Sorry" picture...I got like seven favorites on that. The most I've had in quite a while, I think. It's pretty crazy, really: the drawings that I put the least amount of detail and effort into are always the ones that people like. I guess that kind of makes it easier on me, actually... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
No one's ever going to guess what my avatar's from, so I suppose I'll flat out tell you. It's a symbol from an old, old Bungie game called "Marathon." Now this was not just any ordinary game, oh no, oh no. It was assuredly the best computer game ever made, aside from Pathways Into Darkness (<a href="http://pid.bungie.org">[link]</a> ...), and it was oh-so-Mac-friendly. The basic setup of the game is pretty similar to Halo, which Bungie made much more recently. It's a first person shooter in which you basically read terminals, obtain weaponry, and kill aliens. I'm still trying to beat the first Marathon game, to tell you the truth. I have all the levels downloaded, I just don't want to cheat. I want to do it right, you know. I've been trying since first grade or whenever we originally got the thing.<br />
<br />
So anyway, every level in the first one had this super-tight background music. The second one ("Durandal") is pretty cool as well, but minus the music. There were probably some new weapons introduced in it and some new borgs and such. Then there was the last one ("Infinity") which I find to be impossibly hard and annoying, but impressive to own.<br />
<br />
But back to the avatar. The symbol that you see hovering beside my username appears on all the Marathon's (the Marathon is a spaceship, by the way) terminals, and is also what you see as the icon you double-click to open all the games.<br />
<br />
Check it. <a href="http://marathon.bungie.org/">[link]</a><br />

If anyone can correctly guess where the symbol in my avatar comes from, I'll draw them something. And as always, request whatever you feel like.<br />
<br />
I have not done my summer reading, but I did read a book by Donald Miller this summer. It is called Blue Like Jazz and it is the best book I have ever read. The end. ]]></description>

<br />
But you can. There's a selection to hide deviations with mature content in your settings. I feel stupid.<br />
<br />
That doesn't solve the ads, but it does help quite a bit, and it does make half of my ranting no longer legit. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'd like to just take a minute and vent my wrath at the amount of "artistic nudity" I see in ads here all too frequently. Now I understand that people think this is a form of art that can be viewed freely, but I can't agree with it being so available and unchecked. By this I simply mean that I'm not the youngest user on this website, and although it may not be intended for kids, the deviantArt community is graced OFTEN by young teenagers, and some younger. The easy accessibility to nude photography, like it or not, is going to be--and I would venture it's already being--abused.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I think the measures taken to prevent these images from being seen by the wrong crowd are hardly enough. Thumbnails are viewable regardless of whether or not there is a mature content label, and Daily Deviations don't refrain from featuring art of this kind more than rarely. Personally, I find little to no consolement in the presence of a mature content label: you have to scroll over the image to see it, anyway, so it's kind of pointless that it's there. If it was at the top instead of in the description, then maybe you'd have something.<br />
<br />
The advertisements have been kind of excessive recently, as well. Yes, I'm sure it "sells" better when they add in some frontal nudity for the piranha-esque masses to devour, but it seems slightly unjust to those of us who come here, fully-clothed, to submit a piece of art once in a while and have a little fellowship with like-minded artists in a very innocent way. It disturbs me that pornography has become a justified business, both on the internet and in common society. But rather than duke it out with the big corporate dogs like all those millions who complain of having their rights encroached upon, I'd rather remain calm and concentrated, and if it comes to it maybe I'll have to search for a better environment in which to present my artwork. I don't particularly wish to leave deviantArt, but I know I don't have a case here and I'm certainly not tied down to a website that's going to keep disappointing me over and over again with some of its allowances.<br />
<br />
That is all. End transmission.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yeah, so I checked up on some of the forums and it looks like I'm not the first to bring up this issue. Apparently the advertisements (mainly Suicide Girls) have been complained about before, and the typical response is "Subscribe, no ads." Naturally that doesn't help those of us who are uneducated, unartistic minors who can't afford (or don't see any need for) this stuff for themselves. So this proverbial monkeywrench in the works further discourages me from taking up the issue of the MC labels, etc...but who knows, it might still be worth a try.<br />
<br />
It still seems to me like dA needs to take responsibility for the broad range of age groups it allows on this site, or not allow them at all.<br />
<br />
Paul once said to Timothy not to let people look down on him because of his age. But this isn't a first-century Christian facility, and I'm definitely not going to use that as defense material. (Except inside my head, wherein I will continually persevere to rely on such age-old advice, delight in its logic, and personally smile about it while the fist-shaking rants go on steadily outside.)<br />
<br />
Thanks for your input to those of you who agreed at any degree. I stay at this site mainly because of all the other artists whom I've met, who comment, and whom I watch. That takes care of my ranting, at least for today. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the 2000 pageviews. To  anyone and everyone who's commented,  watched, or visited my page, you rock!  It makes me happy. I probably take for  granted too much that I have a place  for people to see my artwork...and they  actually like it. Thanks again, I love  you all! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />

As my friends list is getting really  long and I don't want to slow down your  computer (or mine) with a bunch of  icons, I guess I'll have to take it off  for now. I don't want to risk  forgetting anybody or using up too much  space...but if you want to see any  awesome artists, just check out those  on my watch list. Or go to the home  page and click on random thumbnails,  and give someone a comment to make them  feel good. It's more fun than you'd  think.<br />

In really, really late news, and in  case you haven't noticed from the  userpage...<br />
<br />
Our band won state. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Very, very happy.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, marching season is over.  But fortunately, concert season has  begun, and I'm first chair clarinet.  First chair. How crazy is that? Also  very, very happy.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a fabulous  Thanksgiving and November and October  and everything else that's passed since  I last wrote an entry. The art will  keep coming and the requests will still  be accepted. Rock on and keep the  faith. Faith on and keep the rock.<br />

<br />
Currently reading "Guards! Guards!" by  Terry Pratchett. First Discworld book  I've read, if you don't count "The  Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents" . Very good.<br />
<br />
My stories are: <a href="http://darkridgefic.diaryland.com">[link]</a><br />
My actual diary is: <a href="http://pippinsgirl.diaryland.com">[link]</a><br />
<br />
I didn't write this but it's funny:<br />
<br />
Things NOT to do while watching  LOTR......<br />
1. Stand up halfway through the movie  and yell loudly, "Wait...where the heck  is Harry Potter?"<br />
2. Block the entrance to the theater  while screaming, "  YOU.....SHALL....NOT..... PASS!" - After  the movie, say "Lucas could have done it  better."<br />
3. Play a drinking game where you have  to take a sip every time someone says, "  the Ring."<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ NEW CRAP!<br />
<br />
Look at my new ID. Look at it NOW.  *snort* heehee.<br />
<br />
Leaving tomorrow. Just tacking all this  stuff on the top of my old journal  entry because I don't have a lot to  say.<br />
<br />
Working on a Pippin sketch but I doubt  I'll have it up here until I get back,  which is on Mondayish. Yeah, that's  all. Go see Return of the King. And The  Last Samurai. But see Return of the  King first.<br />
<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
<br />
OLD CRAP!<br />
<br />
Whee. Hello.<br />
<br />
Oooh baby, gonna see Return of the King  again tomorrow. Go see that movie now.  And listen to the soundtrack, because  it is tight. The Shelob's Lair music  freaks the crap out of me every time I  hear it. Almost as classic as the old  black rider music from Fellowship. I  feel so nostalgic when I listen to the  Fellowship tunes...aww. So timeless.<br />
<br />
I'll be going to Alabama with my friend  Eej next week, so don't expect a whole  lot of my crap on here for a little  while. I'm going to try my hand at some  lame photography with my lame camera,  so hopefully that will turn out well.  Did some today. Will probably get it up  here before next week.<br />
<br />
Go see Return of the King. Oh, I got a  new hat. It's a cool Britishlike  golf-hat type thing. You know, like the  ones everyone wears in Seabiscuit.  Yeah. It is the foshizzle blizzle.  Whoa-dizzle. I had a nightmare about  school inwhich I hid behind a door and  skipped class while attempting to help  somebody escape. It was strangely  frightening. And all my friends were  like "Dude, you be skipping, what you at?"  And I'm all "Whoa, what class are we in  now?" I think I fell asleep while hiding  behind the door or something. It was  scary. Oh, well.<br />

<br />
Got a new sketchbook with a hundred fun  filled pages. I will be doing that  Faramir picture eventually, I promise,  if anyone's really concerned about  that. I'm sure you all are.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Muchos thanksos to dot-Lumeria for  clearing up my "teh" mystery. It was  almost as befuddling as my confusion  between a highway and an interstate  (which I still wonder about).<br />
<br />
Whoo dude, The Two Towers Extended is  awersome. Specially that Merry and  Pippin scene in the end--*wriggles with  delight*-- Oh, and there was a Return  of the King special on Primetime last  night, anyone else see it? I just about  died when I saw the Pippin scenes, and  he's all "you've seen Frodo and Sam!" to  Faramir. And then that one where he's  all "Merry!!!" Oh, man. I literally felt  my heart shatter. *writhes with  cringefulness*<br />
<br />
Speaking of Faramir, I've been meaning  to do a Faramir picture. I like how  they did him in the movie and all, and  David Wenham was very good, but he  didn't seem quite like the nice gentle  Faramir that I loved from the book. The  Extended stuff cleared it up a little,  but yeah, you can't beat the  imagination. So go up to me and scream  at me to do the Faramir picture if you  get the chance.<br />
<br />
Visit people. You can see some of them  on the comments down there. "Merry!!!" " You've seen Frodo and Sam!" "We will see  the Shire again Pippin!" "Drive them to  the river! Drown them like rats!"  ...That is all. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I got a brand  new black and white Strat. Yeeeeah.  Oohoohohoho, yeah. I am happy.<br />
And I got Two Towers Extended DVD. My  birthday came early this year.<br />
<br />
So anyhow, I figure these here journals  are for important sort of things like  people you should visit and technical  difficulties and troubleshooting help  and whatnot. Okay, so I've got this  burning question and I need an answer.  Because of my lack of what you might  call "savviness" in the internet  shorthand world, I am befuddled as to  why people of late have been using "teh"  instead of "the". Maybe my mind is  warped, but when you sound it out,  neither of these sounds like the other.  Is this simply an interminable typing  mistake? Or is it another one of those  newfangled webslang shorthanded terms  (like "u" for "you", or "thx" for "thanks&quot<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />? I  mean dude, come on, TEH does not sound  like THE. It looks to me like the  majority of the English-speaking  population can't even speak English  anymore.<br />
Sorry about that.<br />
<br />
Ehhmmm....yes. That's really all I had  to say. Go and visit poli and crizzy  and xeo 'cause they all are nice and  they commented on me. Also visit  gothicnazgul and dot-Lumeria, and check  out ajm783's poetry. That pretty much  covers everyone whose screennames I can  remember.<br />
<br />
I strongly doubt anyone's interested,  but I'm up for any art requests or  whatnot. That would be fun. ]]></description>
