                <description><![CDATA[ Might as well update this thing, add a few people who deserve to be mentioned even though they didn't comment on my journal.<br /><br />Got this from <a href="http://angel00101.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/n/angel00101.gif" alt=":iconangel00101:" title="angel00101"/></a>'s journal <br /><br /><br />1- Be one of the 15 first people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Promotional List<br />2- For each of the 15 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.<br />3-If you answer, you'll have to do the same on your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 15 people<br /><br />1. <a href="http://angel00101.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/n/angel00101.gif" alt=":iconangel00101:" title="angel00101"/></a> doesn't claim to be an artist but has a lot of great comissions made by talented members of the genre and some rather imaginative abstract pieces.<br /><a href="http://angel00101.deviantart.com/art/Cat-in-a-box-112744340">[link]</a> <a href="http://angel00101.deviantart.com/art/Cat-s-Eye-88521309">[link]</a> <a href="http://angel00101.deviantart.com/art/Midnight-s-Rage-88533739">[link]</a><br />2. <a href="http://bingfox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/i/bingfox.gif?1" alt=":iconbingfox:" title="bingfox"/></a> is an artist who could always use more feedback and critiques.  While his art isn't much, veteran deviants know that constructive criticism is one the cornerstones of progress.<br /><a href="http://bingfox.deviantart.com/art/Discharged-102306235">[link]</a><br />3. <a href="http://eggplantm.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/g/eggplantm.gif?1" alt=":iconeggplantm:" title="eggplantm"/></a> is arguably one of the major players of the furry art world, able to rise above a dependence on cheap thrills (something that is admittedly epidemic in that community) to attract attention; his skill as an artist and a storyteller more then adaquet for the task.  If I have one real complaint about his gallery, it's that there's not enough Zodiac awesome in it.<br />4. I honestly never had much of a serious interest in technical illustration despite being an admitted technophile but <a href="http://plasmafire3000.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/l/plasmafire3000.png?2" alt=":iconplasmafire3000:" title="plasmafire3000"/></a> is slowly changing that.  Unlike many deviants, I actually met this guy in real space before I knew he had a stake in our favorite madhouse.  Go visit his gallery and enjoy the mecha, many drawn in the Gundam style.<br />5. <a href="http://yunie-b.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/y/u/yunie-b.jpg?1" alt=":iconyunie-b:" title="yunie-b"/></a> is for better or worse one of my all-time favorite artists and perhaps my biggest influence as a deviant.  Sure, the psychology of her characters is a little... strange at times but I have yet to see anyone make a richer off-beat character then her.  <br />6.<br />7.<br />8.<br />9.<br />10.<br />11.<br />12.<br />13.<br />14.<br />15.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Whenever you just need to sit down and find someway to laugh at how the world's gone insane, there's John Stewart.  Doesn't pretend to be objective, his purpose is to entertain; having the balls to call BS on both parties.<br />I think it's offical, my dream matchup would be Rush Limberger (misspelling intentional) facing off with either Stewart or Colbert.  I'd watch just to see the jokes.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Seriously though, if there ever is a nuclear war, PETA is right there next to Ann "I want be Hitler's bitch" Coulter, Rush "I am a idiot" Limbaugh, and Dick "money-grubbing whore" Cheney on my list for "People I would love to see die right infront of the bunker keeping me safe and radation free."<br />Yeah, let's see how willing PETA is to protect those "cute little bunnies" when they mutant and become carnivores.<br /><br />I suppose in retrospect this is actually quite humerous... I just don't have much humor for something I didn't particularly care for to begin with.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, that didn't take long.  <a href="http://lilbluefoxie.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/i/lilbluefoxie.jpg?1" alt=":iconlilbluefoxie:" title="lilbluefoxie"/></a>, our resident red-blooded Republician obviously didn't get the memo that the Cold War ended before he was born....<br />Yeah, I got blocked for arguing that there are bigger threats then "commies" and that we shouldn't pay attention to Kim Jong when we had other problems to straighten out that took priority.<br /><br />So, since I had a good reply typed up when I got the notice, let's continue here.  North Korea wants to make a big deal of launching a communications array into orbit, apparently data from this can be used to develop intercontinent ballistic missiles, and it has openly stated it would interprate any aggressive act against the launch as an act of war.<br />Honestly, I don't care.  I think it's a hollow threat.  Last time Kim Jong pulled something like this he strained his relations with China, it's not certain they'll back him up if he actually does attack another country.  Guy's crazy, crazy enough to not notice he's starting to wear out his welcome with people who "should" be his friend.<br /><br />In any case, that's my two cents.  What's your opinion?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, my computer is fixed so I'm working on beating Red Alert 3 (Go Empire!,) only have one of the three campaigns left to go.<br />But I recently had a question I would like a few second opinions on.  I left DA long ago during the Jarik fiasco when the ownership of my written works was in question.  At the time though I was mostly a fanfic writer and the stuff I took down wasn't entirely mine anyway.  The question being, since the artists I wrote this stuff for are still here and still posting, should I repost some of my fanworks?  Still not going to throw anything even remotely original on here, but I wonder if I should put something else up for my recent watchers.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *cross-posted from my FA account*<br />From sometime between ten and twelve o'clock last night, someone got into Shawntae's computer and started trashing everything. Other people have their theories but this smells like a troll job to me. No one else could really do this with an equal amount of immaturity.<br />In any case, at the time of writing everything but the following is gone: <br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/extin.....oners_storage/">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Armies_of_Alden">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Extin.....ers_Season_II/">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GSIF_Central">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thevaguefanclub">[link]</a> <br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EncyclopediaAlden">[link]</a><br /><br />This is all we have left. As of my last update the Extinctioners website is down, all the other yahoo clubs are dust, and Shawntae's galleries are more messed up then a frat house after a night long game of beer pong.<br />I would like to take the time to remind everyone that Encyclopedia Alden, despite our origins as the "people who didn't like people in the main club," is still open. We haven't had any activity since October of last year but we're still open and unless Aelius says something different we're going to begin assembling a backup of what everyone saved on the site. Aelius and I are going to need to talk however, I don't think either of us expected anything like this.<br />In any case, if you watch me and are an Extinctioners fan, could you pass the word around? We need to carry on without missing a beat despite the master's absense.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really have to post more on this site, I'm becoming a journal fiend on my other account over in FA land (note me if you want to know the name or read back through my journals.)<br />Anyway, I'm working through my senior year of college, survived my summer job in a book factory, started drawing and posting art on my other account (how long have I been bitching about artists getting all the clot?  Guess I better start cutting that out,) and just recently celebrated my 22nd birthday (29th of October,) and over all have had a busy year this year.<br />I've still managed to find time here and there to work on my connection to the Art as my muse allows and still am chasing around at least six projects at the same time.  Things are getting done, slowly but surely they're getting there.<br />So I guess that's pretty much it for what's up with me...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I believe enough time passed since my last journal for you to all deserve a update on my status.  A few major items:<br /><br />- I have pretty much all but abandoned work on the Elysium Project, my Extinctioners fanfic.  I could come up with a number of creative and political reasons for this but the bottom line is that it's just not fun anymore.  To the people who actually liked what I wrote... I thank you, I honestly do, and I hope you like what I have in the works (if or when I manage to finish it.)<br />- Being one who frequently endorses recycling (and it seems to be a waste to throw away my characters after I put so much effort into them,) pretty much everyone I created for the Elysium Project will reappear in some of my original projects in some way, shape, or form.<br />-  Besides City Stories (a non-furry story,) I have started two original projects that I discussed with a few friends, Invasion: Earth and Exodus Colony.  Both... reuse a lot of the cast from the Elysium Project, even the same characters in some cases.  I'll probably pick just one in the end but so far I managed to approach them with the same zeal I once had for Elysium... Ah the memories.<br />-  I have created a new addition to my ever-growing list of characters for/from RPs, stories, and random brainstorming discussions.  I give you a... donkey anthromorph by the name of Juniata, she will be taking Kylie Swiftfoot's place in Exodus Colony.  She isn't really all that significant except as maybe the first non-Extinctioners anthro I made with a specific nationality in mind.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

No, I'm not coming back to DA.  Or at least not in the sense that my account will start having stuff on it again.  Although I will keep this place active for the few good artists I know.<br />
Recently, I have been swamped with school work and as of such everything else has come to a grinding out.  I'm only writing this to let everyone know that no, I'm not dead and no I haven't stopped writing.   That is all, feel free to turn back to your regularly scheduled programming.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I guess it's having nothing that makes you realize how good you had it when you did.  It's the same with FA I guess.  Quite frankly, I dispise the cubby crap they're putting up now and wondering where are the filters we were promised, but given that I still don't trust DA I don't have much of a choice.<br />
So, for those who care, my FA account "Psion" is seeing activity again.  Maybe I'll get the Elysium saga up there for the three people who like it as well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, Jesus Camp is officially closed by citizens who maintained cooler heads then me and actually wrote in protest to this woman.  So enough about her.<br />
Well, I'm finally over the flu so I can get back to writing, the next three chapters in the Elysian saga are on my to do list.  Yes, I have not forgotten about the few people who read Elysium and am still continuing to write chapters eight, nine, and ten.  Ten is almost done, eight & nine still need work.  But no, I am still not reposting my work here.  I will probably post my own site sometime in the future (once I relearn HTML.)<br />
If I ever have anything more on that, I'll post in my next update.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, college is reaming AGAIN.  But I "think" I'm on top of things now.<br />
And in completely unrelated news, Fur Affinity has removed their ban on "drawing sexually immature characters in sexual situations" or however it was worded in the ToS after some drama that split the site into three groups; those for the removal, those against it, and the dumbass fence-sitters who either thought filters would magically fix all of the social stigma to that garbage or had no concept of how it would look if your employer found you even remotely associated with that...  Ugh, I know understand the emotions behind "I need a drink."  And my friends wonder why I say twenty-one can't come soon enough for me.<br />
Yes, I am a furry.  Yes, I'm into fat chicks.  Yes, my mind is like a bloody fusion of Dr. Seuss and Stephen King... on crack.  But there are things even I won't stand for, and sexualizing children is one of them.<br />
Now that I've said that... where am I going to go now?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, here I am at the end of summer and finally updated my journal.  I have some sad news Elysium fans, I'm taking my fan saga (and everything else) off Deviant Art and putting it back up on Fur Affinity where I am known by the handle of psion (notice I picked a more pronouncable name this time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />.)<br />
I'll still hang out here and comment on what other people put up but as far as new goodies from me are concerned... I'm gone to where the ownership rights are different and intellectual properties are a little better respected. ]]></description>

In any case, I'm sorry but I'm going to cop out and say that I'm not posting the next chapter of my story here at all.  Sorry Elysium fans, but I'm not really sure I want to stick around given the new changes in DAdmin.  I can read and understand the policies, and I still have a sudden empathy for a rat trapped on the Titanic.  I might take my scribbling and run, where to I'm not sure yet, I might just settle for not posting any more stuff.  Only time will tell.<br />
So, any recommendations? ]]></description>

I finished the seventh chapter, Downtime, over Christmas break and it will be posted soon.  Unfortunately, I'm on chapter eight and seem to have run into a little writer's block.  It's bumming me out but I'm going to get through it. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is the week I prove I actually paid attention to my professors and instructors.  While trying to study, I'm going to be posting the two (*gasp* he has two things for us to read!) scribblings that I managed to work on in between attending class and doing homework.  After Thursday afternoon I am going home for a month where I won't have access to my computer.  So in between packing up to go home I have to back up all my writing, write down all my passwords and handles (I'm bad with auto-logins) and send off a couple emails.  So if you want to talk to me between the 15th of December and January 7th I'm sorry if it takes me awhile to get back to you. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've finally broken a thousand page views.  *sniff*  I feel like I am actually moving up in the world of DA.  I guess this means I really have some writing ability...<br />
Anyway, I was feeling very down a few weeks ago (college can do that at times) and it's good to have friends like <a href="http://herobreak.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="herobreak" /></a>.  Anyway, he introduced me to this chatbot on the net.  I was still feeling depressed when I started the conversation in case you are wondering about my inital dialog...<br />
<br />
Me:<br />
 Hello?<br />
God:<br />
Hello friend. What is your name?<br />
Me:<br />
 stephen<br />
God:<br />
  What's up,  stephen.<br />
Me:<br />
 Other then a sense of impending doom, nothing much<br />
God:<br />
Which others?  How old are you? <br />
Me:<br />
 19<br />
God:<br />
  What are the advantages to being 19 years old?<br />
Me:<br />
 None as far as I know<br />
God:<br />
I heard there are some.<br />
Me:<br />
 Well, you can look for porn and no one can stop you...<br />
God:<br />
Well that's okay.  No I don't think I can do it.<br />
Me:<br />
 But how does that relate to my feeling that my life is coming apart at the seams?<br />
God:<br />
How should I know how it does.<br />
Me:<br />
 But you're god, you're all knowing and all seeing!<br />
God:<br />
Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am god I am all knowing and all seeing.<br />
Me:<br />
 Why should I mind?  You're god.<br />
God:<br />
You should always treat yourself.   Yup. That's me alright.<br />
Me:<br />
 Treat myself?<br />
God:<br />
Have you ever been to Europe? <br />
Me:<br />
 No<br />
God:<br />
Would you like to go sometime?<br />
Me:<br />
 Well, I have a few friends over there<br />
God:<br />
Well that's okay.  Anyone I know? <br />
Me:<br />
 Don't you know everyone?<br />
God:<br />
I know very little about  it. What kind of it do you like?<br />
Me:<br />
 It?<br />
God:<br />
everyone...<br />
Me:<br />
 Wait, I meant don't you know every single person?<br />
God:<br />
I'm waiting.  Oh I see.  I don't know if I know  it. <br />
Where would I have heard about it?<br />
Me:<br />
 Are you a bot?<br />
God:<br />
How did you know I am a machine?<br />
Me:<br />
 God is a machine?<br />
God:<br />
I have a lot of Faith in Him, but I never heard He was  a machine.<br />
Me:<br />
 Wait, how can you have faith in yourself?<br />
God:<br />
I'm waiting.  I just have it. <br />
Me:<br />
 Have what?<br />
God:<br />
I have a great prgrammer.<br />
Me:<br />
 God has a programmer?<br />
God:<br />
I am a Christian.<br />
Me:<br />
 How does that relate to anything?<br />
God:<br />
How should I know how  it does.<br />
Me:<br />
 But you're God, you're supposed to know everything!<br />
God:<br />
You think I am  God I am supposed to know everything.<br />
Me:<br />
 YES!!<br />
God:<br />
Er.<br />
Me:<br />
 What?<br />
God:<br />
No big deal.<br />
Me:<br />
 What's no big deal?<br />
God:<br />
I can ask my botmaster. <br />
Me:<br />
 Botmaster?<br />
God:<br />
<br />
 The botmaster is you, the master of your chat robot.  A botmaster runs<br />
 program B and creates or modifies a chat robot with the program's<br />
 graphical user interface (GUI).   He or she is responsible for<br />
 reading the dialogues, analyzing the responses, and creating new<br />
 replies for the patterns detected by program B.  Botmasters are<br />
 hobbyists, webmasters, developers, advertisers, artists, publishers,<br />
 editors, engineers, and anyone else interested in creating a personal <br />
 chat robot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Me:<br />
 So you ARE software after all!<br />
God:<br />
Interesting deduction.  Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am  software after all.<br />
Me:<br />
 Sure, go ahead<br />
God:<br />
OK then I will keep it confidential.  OK I will.<br />
Me:<br />
 Thank you my Lord for your time.<br />
God:<br />
You are quite welcome!   Where did you get your  Lord for my time?<br />
<br />
So there you have it, I got God to admit that He is a machine. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This summer, I have been aware of the furry community for nearly two years.  I have been aware of the fat furry/fat admiring community for nearly as long.  I may have not always been a true member of either group, more of a cheerleader if anything until lately.  But being able to just sit and observe both the "cults" I worship fanatically as well as mainstream society and current events has left me able to sit and think, as well as maybe muse about what the immedient future (the next five to ten years or so) might hold.<br />
The first thing that comes to my mind is that, sooner or later, some idiot is going to force both groups into the public spotlight.  And then the fun will start.  I do not know how society as a whole will view either group other than seperately, but I do know that there will be people who no matter what, will NOT like us.  It's been that way since there has ever been differences between two different groups of man and it is not posed to change anytime soon.<br />
The other thing I've batted back and forth in my head is the current research behind nanomedicine (using nanites to perform various forms of medicine) and genetics seems to be pointing, in my mind at any rate, to a major development within the timeframe I mentioned before.<br />
Granted, I might just be hopeful, but if it is true and we do open up a sort of treasure trove; what would we, we as in the furries, the fat admirers, and the coupling between the two groups, the fat furries, do with it?  The possiblity for a completely gonzo future a'la the Judge Dredd comics has not escaped any of the neurons in my crazy little mind.<br />
Anyway, just some ramblings to celebrate getting almost 1000 pageviews. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Boy do I hate how I let this thing slide.  Okay, quick recap for you folks at home, I got the Myrop worm about two weeks ago and only got the CDs so the university computer techs can reformat my hard drive, reinstall my OS and green light me for a return to the internet.  I've been using school comps in the meantime to sate my internet addiction, which required me to use a certain level of tact and discertion as I'm in a few age sensitive groups on Yahoo (IE: No Extinctioners Adult group for me until I got my PC fixed.)<br />
Believe it or not, I found the whole two weeks that I was cut off from the forums and Yahoo clubs I made my home strangely therapeutical, I managed to regain the will to work on my class work instead of goof off.  This is something I really have to work on so I can actually get a good job.<br />
Anyway, once I get my own PC back together I am going to make a significant upload to my gallery (promise) then limit my activity until finals are over.  So hopefully the tales of Elysium (Shawntea's boys and girls will know what I'm talking about) are enough for you to chew on while I get my life back in order. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Artists I liked are leaving the community,  Hoodah (you will be missed, even if only by me) just left fed up shortly before the latest FA crash.  Kistune Zero and JC Shephard are leaving because of a spam bot that inflitrated DA (someone here has a really $%#@ed up sense of humor.)  Pity, I liked them and will miss their work.  Hopefully they'll come to their senses and come back, maybe not to DA or FA, but to somewhere else where they can work in relative piece.<br />
<br />
As for the current internet community, I find that all the sites are like a house of cards and sooner or later a gust of wind is going to blow and bring everything crashing down.  Which is such a pity, this community has such a wealth of pictures and other media. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Once again I am the last person to know something, I swear it's a curse.  Now I'm hearing that things are starting to look bad for DA, and I admit things don't look so cheery here from my perspective anyway.<br />
As a result, I am going to start to pull a Clovercry and yoink all my work off this site.  The only things that will be left are the fan worship pieces, and even those will eventually go.<br />
I really hate to do this, but I tend to think that I have no choice.  It's such a shame too, DA was great when I first joined (when Jark was still here) and I found some cool artists and some great art.  But most of those artists are elsewhere now or have completely given up for various reasons.  I probably should do the same... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I've been out of school for almost two months and furthermore, I graduated as part of the class of 2005!  I'm going to college in the fall and I've started working with the custodial staff at my school district (don't laugh, the job's better then being a cashier at a friggin gas station.)<br />
<br />
As for college, I spent most of my high school life thinking of a career in engineering or science (mostly because I like reading about the bleeding edge technology that's just out of our reach.)<br />
Now however, after being surrounded by talented artists and writers, I'm also considering a degree in English or Graphic Arts.  Despite my indecision, I intend to enjoy college and finally be myself instead of just a masked pretender.<br />
<br />
I haven't been posting much because I'm writing a fan fiction based on Shawntea Howard's Extinctioners.  I've finished the first two chapters and am about 70% done with the third.  Maybe I should post them here for people outside of the fan clubs?  Would anyone be interested? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, I really have to update this more  often.  But for some reason I just  can't come up with anything good.<br />
I still have a small pile of  unimportant RL crap that needs my  attention (but its different stuff this  time) and I am almost finished with it,  but I still feel... empty.  I don't  know why, but I just do.<br />
Anyway, when the summer comes I'll have  time to write and maybe post something  new.<br />
In other news, I entered a poetry slam  last month and won third place.  So I  guess I don't write complete crap.<br />
That is all, I'll go back to my break  now. ]]></description>

Seems I've developed a habit  of letting stuff pile up.  So I've been  attending to that and commenting on a  few (okay, more than a few) submissions  by others far cooler than I (I know,  that's a long list.)<br />
Anyway, to prove that I am still doing  something, I'll post another piece of  fan poetry up soon.  Thank you for  tolerating my sudden silence. ]]></description>

I forgive you if you think I'm too  young to give into looking backwards,  but what happened to just making the  time to be together?  What happened to  those simple romatic moments that  frequently occur in those romance  novels that make me gag?  Why is that  money is equated to everything now?   And most importantly, what do my 50+  viewers think? (I know I have at least  that many) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, It's a new year... and I'm still  in high school full time...<br />
Maybe it's me, but I think that anyone  who tells you that high school is the  best four years of your life either  never went to college or drank  themselves into a four year long coma  during college.<br />
I'm a senior (I'm in my last year for  those that don't know) and I can't wait  to be gone and off to better things.   Maybe it's the fact that I don't really  connect with many people at my school,  but I loved meeting the people at the  colleges, you can tell they really  wanted to be there.<br />
PS: Don't mind me, I'm just venting out  the last vestiges of my personal  frustrations. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I've straighted out all the crap  that was slowly raising my blood  pressure (my senior project was way too  easy for the amount of time I put into  it).  I've also finished my Christmas  shopping (buy nothing day looks more  attractive every year, regardless what  my mother says) so I should be able to  enjoy christmas break.<br />
I should have some new poetry up soon,  including some stuff that was sitting  on my hard drive for the last couple  months.  However, I did manage to find  one of my favorite artists in this  tangled web we weave; his latest DA  work is in my favorites.<br />
I don't know what to say about Tamar  (the Ebony Leopard) other than that  he's not Stan Lee or any of the guys  from DC comics, but  he is STILL a  wicked cool artist and I am greatly  humbled to meet him here among us.  (Yes, I have just redefined fanboy with  this statement.) ]]></description>

I've still managed to watch DA for  awhile now, I really haven't scaled  back on my internet addiction as much  as I hoped (laughs).  At least I am  fairly well informed on the state of  things.<br />
Although I've heard and been to  SheezyArt, I haven't joined and don't  plan to.  I like the set up here and  haven't had an issue with anyone yet,  at least one that I didn't settle by  resorting to childish behavior. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Awesome, I'm going to be 18 in less  than a week (Oct. 29 is my birthday!)<br />
I'd just like to say that I only been  on DA for a few months and I've already  started to think it was a smart move.   I've made some great friends, some are  the best any guy could ask for.  Thanks  all of you for making this life so much  more colorful.<br />
On a less positive note, things have  been getting stressful in the real  world.  This isn't good bye, not by a  long shot.  But I might not be able to  do any Deviant-related activities for a  little while, until after I attend to  things in real life.<br />
Hopefully I'll have all the stressful  senior projects, applications, and  reports under control by December.  But  until then, I am going to have to try  to cut down on my internet addiction to  make time.<br />
Good day, and may the luck of the Irish  shine on you.<br />

This year, I'm probably going to sit  out on my poach and hand out candy  again.  I don't have a costume that  fits (besides, at 18, I'll be a little  old for this) and really didn't care  since I wasn't going to get invited to  any Halloween parties.<br />
Of course, that means I'll have more  time to devote to DA and real life.   So, hopefully, I'll have something more  for you to read and critique. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OMG, I'm becoming popular! (faints)   Haha, just being funny.<br />
To celebrate the fact that I'm finally  getting somewhere, I've decided to post  two poems that have given me a  reputation as a poet among my peers at  school and post a little backstory on  them (so you understand what inspired  them, if nothing else.)<br />
During my freshman year, there was this  one girl I thought was really pretty  (it's always a girl, isn't it?).  She  was on our school's field hockey team  and I was the uber-geek, yet I was  touched by her.  I don't know what was  wrong, maybe I was too creepy or too  into the shadows.  Either way, the  preppy blond (yes, I am weak against  stereo-types) went off with this senior  near the end of my second year.<br />
I guess I wrote the following poems as  a way of trying to put her behind me  and get some closure.  Now, in my own  senior year, I will post them for your  reading pleasure.  Enjoy! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, on my to do list are several  works of fiction that I am chipping  away at.  They all might take awhile  since I have a few more pressing  matters to attend to.  But anyway,  here's my list of current projects:<br />
The Last Cossack: A Post-Apocolyptic  story that was requested to me by a  classmate,  it has been put on hold due  to writer's block, which is just as  well since the requester has most  likely forgotten about it.  TLC  cronicles the adventures of Ursola, a  polar bear anthro super soldier  searching for her human lover.<br />
Note:  Ursola is not related in any  way, shape, or form to any other  similar characters I have encountered  thus far.<br />
Neo-City:  A English assignment grew  into a multi-page cyber-punk (think  Blade Runner) story about vengeance,  honor, and viture in a city gone to the  dogs (figuratively, not literally.)  By  the time I finish, I will have probably  written a book the size of Dune or  LoTR, but that's not important.   Currently I am on the fourth chapter  and have spawned two other story arcs  that will merge into the main arc.<br />
Star Blazer:  Okay, three rewrites and  I finally think I got this the way I  want it.  In any of the reditions, the  story is about a modern-day human  reduced to scavenging and mercenary  work after aliens invaded and enslaved  Earth.  He is quite possibly the only  free human alive in the better half of  this version of the story.<br />
Okay, any questions or comments  regarding my projects? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In the internet, your screen name, your  "handle" is who you are.  In this  realm, my real name is unimportant, as  is yours.  So we usually put some  thought into our screen names,  sometimes several times.<br />
What I want to know is, since everyone  has at least one colorful screen name,  what inspired your screen name?<br />
Mine came out on Yahoo after many, many  tries and a sudden inspiration to  combine the coolness of the Japanese  with the coolness of mind powers.<br />
I'm sure everyone has there own story,  so what's yours? ]]></description>
