I've narrowed it down to something to do with art, photography, and it has to be intellectual. My mom keeps saying I'd probably love archaeology, and I'm sure I'd agree, but I don't know if I could commit myself to travelling great distances. Then again, I have always been interested in learning as many languages as I could, so maybe I should just suck it up and would enjoy it.

I've considered graphic art programs, creative writing classes, photography classes, acting classes. But I've looked at Biology, and considered becoming a vet or a doctor. It's not out of my grasp, I just have to get over my queasiness around blood. XD It's not a great thing to have when you're working with things that bleed.

Then I've also considered just settling down somewhere and opening a bookstore, or working at a library. I suppose I could do that as well as continue my interest in the arts, but it'd be a lot of work.

It's hard to choose, but I know I have been blessed to be able to travel as much as I have in my life. I am fascinated by the landscapes around me, and as much as I miss seeing the mountains or trees, the prairies have started to grow on me as well. To look around you and see nothing but grass and fields for miles is just amazing. The large stretch of just flat ground is just as thrilling as being in the mountains. I suppose the last places I want to see for myself are the far north, and the far east of Canada. I have not yet been to the Maritimes, but I'm planning on at least visiting them once in my life. I've even considered going to school in PEI or Nova Scotia.

I guess it's nature in general that fascinates me, and I'm beginning to wonder how I can get a job that would let me travel and see all that I can see. Then maybe I could settle down and own that bookstore.

The end of May means two weeks of school left for me, although I just wrote my Math final today. I went in knowing that I could flunk it and still pass the course, and it seemed extremely easy. So I've got less time to spend at school, more time to hope I get a job again.

My parents have bought a bunch of new flowers this year, and they're all pretty despite the lack of rain in April. Of course, they were probably grown in a greenhouse so what does it matter? Pictures to come.

I'm absolutely stoked about this coming summer and what might be going on. I definitely want to keep up with the flower photography, so hopefully we get some new stuff in our garden so it's not the same old pictures.

I am also planning on doing a bit of travelling, and hopefully finding out what I want to take in the coming year. I've been convinced that the best thing would to do some courses out of everything and see what really grabs my attention. So I might try a fine arts course or something to do with photography and see if it's more than just a hobby sort of thing. But yes, some travelling shall be done this summer.

You know what? Fuck you America. Your economy is failing because you've always wanted more than you could afford. Want a new house that's way more than you need? Go ahead, get a loan and buy that house. Want a new big screen t.v. and a bunch of shit you don't need? Go ahead, buy a credit card and spend all that money you don't have. Just because it's not coming out of your pocket at the moment seems to make it okay for you to spend. If you didn't see something like this big crash coming, you were blinded by money and greed and those who bought off others to sell you lies. Open your eyes.

To even joke about not knowing Canada was in the war that you f***ing started and that invasion was possible or we're taking a nap is going beyond joking and into insulting. Our soldiers are dying for your cause, and they throw out jokes about how we're taking naps because our military needs a rest. You know what? I support the idea of Canadian forces being pulled from that war altogether. The US started it, the US can die it, and we will take our 'naps' and watch you cry for your dead.

And maybe next time, those cracking jokes about Canada shouldn't have a comedy show planned within the week. Because we may be polite, but that doesn't mean we'll take your shit.

Once the United States of America gets their head pulled out of their ass, they might begin to see that joking about wars is not funny, and joking about one of their biggest assets is the fastest way to lose a lot.

I vote for Canada to pull out of the war. The United States is not worth dying for.

((And yes, I realize there are a lot of Americans who aren't like that, but the whole idea of the 'American Lifestyle' or the 'American Dream' has always made me a little more than angry. There's a ton of things I don't like about America, and this just pushed me over the edge. For those that do know where Canada is, how much our trade is worth to America and Canada alike, and that our soldiers are out fighting in the war, then I do not mean to direct this at you. You simply have the misfortune of being known as an American in my eyes.))

Character highlight of this post: Hope.

Hope was about the fifth wolf character I ever created. She ended up being the sister of Silence, and their relationship has turned out to be as close as that of my brother and myself. She was always joined with Silence, and they were quite close at a few rpgs. When I started Courage of the Wolves, she was my choice to become the Leader of Neutral, with her brother Silence as the Leader of Evil. She led the pack known as the Hope for All pack, and is the only character that never had a mate. She adopted two pups, Sun and Moon, but never had any of her own. Thus when she was close to death, she asked Baran to take on the Leadership.
At Blossom Forest, she was the Alpha of the Bright Moon pack. When Sandra asked if any Alphas wanted to be in the plot, I jumped at the chance to incorporate her into it. Unfortunately, as she received her powers to help fight against the beasts, her territory was attacked. It ended up very badly for her, as the territory now has a giant split down the middle and the trees are all broken and destroyed. She vowed to never step foot on the territory again until the beasts were all destroyed. Then she went with her brother to his pack, Munashii Gekko, where he was elevated to the Beta status. Since the plot never continued, the two of them have kind of been the loners in the territory, haunting the place until I quit and the pack becomes open for anybody to claim.

As for her personality traits, I always saw a bit of myself in Hope. Or at least, she was a character I wanted to be like. She was strong, dominant, and very much a motherly figure. Which makes the whole never taking a mate thing kind of ironic. Then again, that's also very reflective of myself, as I have never had a boyfriend and really don't care to. She has become the wise wolf to me, bitter in death but still strong and ready to do the right thing. Whenever I get some random thoughts that seem to be a reflection of life, it tends to get written down as Hope's point of view.

I made another picture for my character Waptumewi. He's love. I don't know what it is about him, but seriously. I mean, nervous, crazy, wanting to just disappear. He was never supposed to fall in love with Hope, but I think he did...just a little crush. Hope, his former Alpha, lost her pack to beasts that invaded. They pretty much tore up the land and made it unlivable. Waptumewi warned the group of fighters set against these beasts and was given some powers to join them in this fight. Of course, he was new to them and got knocked out in the fight pretty easily. He considers this his greatest failure, and believes that Hope hates him for the entire ordeal. Of course, he has blown the blame out of proportion over the time he's had to think about it.
Unfortunately the plot never moved on after that fight, so he's got his whole life ahead of him to live in this world of self hate. He's got a crush now on a wolf named Atra, but he doesn't trust her because she just recently went to Hope.

When all is said and done, Waptumewi has issues. Serious issues. But that's why everybody loves him. Of course, we're all just wondering when something is going to push him over the edge. At least, I am. Or maybe he's already over the edge and long gone. Who knows.

Mostly been sleeping, doing logic puzzles, watching hockey games, and piddling around with my tablet. Oh, and add stalking my relatives on facebook to that list. My life is not exciting.

Umm, been revisiting my whole idea on a story/plot of an rp called Somewhere Else. It's kind of hovering on my mind along with the other story type thing I wanted to do. Hence the new manipulation called Somewhere Else. It's almost easier to do it in pictures because it helps get the idea out there quicker than writing a story that has to have some sort of plot.

I have commitment issues with stories. Actually, that goes for almost anything. I think it pisses my dad off. For example: I buy a cereal that I've been craving and eat it for a week or two. Once it's gone, my dad thinks he's being nice by buying me another box. Then I don't eat it because I really couldn't care less.

Wow, I think I just figured out my grandparents and their insistence on sending me stuff with kittens on it. It's just easier that way.

On that note, my new fad for three months is steampunk. Seriously, it's awesome.

Now, I really couldn't care less if they took mine away because I'm done the end of that week anyway. It's the logic of it all that I don't understand. Why would you take the only November holiday away from the workers? If you're short staffed, the staff are highly tired and would like a day off. I mean, it's just one day a month that they get off, and since November and December are black months that they can't take other holidays, then really, one day shouldn't mean anything. Besides, short staffed as we are, having another one or two people gone isn't going to make that much of a difference. We're fucked as it is.

Interesting to note, I swear a lot more online than in real life. Until I get tired. Then I start swearing at everything that goes wrong. XD It makes it much more amusing to be around me near the end of my shift than the beginning.

I did buy myself an Xbox 360, because I could. I haven't had a lot of time to play it though. There is something about giving two weeks notice and then skipping out on working those last two weeks that kind of nags on my conscience.

I'm done rambling. Sort of.
Neon picture for Larka was done today, and I still have to do a different one of Stryker for FD. Then perhaps Greeny will give me one to do. XD

I have two weeks of work left and then I'm free. Thursday I'll be learning when I can start back up at school again. I know it'll be full time come February, but there's one or two courses I can pick up in December.

Two weeks. I'm feeling so relieved. Hopefully more time for art, and I want to get that story started.

Bah, I should've bought myself a really good camera before I quit.

My computer is all moved down into my new room, and my dad came home yesterday and helped me connect it to the internet. So I have my own little space down here. It's pretty sweet.

Also been debating on whether I should buy an X-Box 360 or a Playstation 3. I'm leaning toward the 360, but I still don't know.

Other news, I'm planning on moving into the basement soon. I need to get the room down there painted and all, so I'm looking for some good colour schemes or decorating ideas.

And, a big thanks to all the watches. I finally hit a thousand page views and it makes me feel like I'm half a somebody. Not really actually, but whatever.

Now I need to sleep so I can work tonight. Then call about school stuff tomorrow. Life is slowly getting on track.

Anyway, been feeling artistic because of it. So I changed Courage's colour scheme, and I have a vague idea for a story that I want to try for November's writing thing. It will be loosely based on some dreams I had as a child, so it's going to be weird and out there.

Otherwise I'm playing Fable to keep myself amused and awaiting the release of Fable 2. Will be going in to Calgary this week, maybe I'll take pictures.

Mostly I've sat and played Minesweeper. I forgot how addictive that game is.

Anyway, my days off have been busy. Like going to get an eye exam and learning that my eyes have finally slowed down in their deterioration. The only difference was in my right eye so now both eyes are at the same sucky level.

With that said, I'm giving contact lenses a trial. So Friday I go in for the two week check-up and let them know I'm interested in buying them for the long run. That and I did order new glasses which I hopefully can pick up on Friday. ^.^ They're kind of funky and different, but whatever. My mom has decided to put two hundred toward them so I don't spend my entire paycheck when I get it. XD

Flowers are getting to be the same old ones. Haven't had much time to be out and in a artsy mood.

It did.

It got cloudy on Saturday. We did yard work anyway. Sunday it stayed cloudy and started to rain Sunday night.
It rained on Monday.
It rained on Tuesday.
It rained all Wednesday.
I think it's still raining.

I love the rain, but I'm getting restless locked up in the house. Getting kind of stuffy in here too.

Finally realized that there actually is a timer/delay on my camera and how to use it. Plus I fixed the time/day thing on it because it was off horribly and it was bugging me.

The pansies are coming back and flowering already, other things are coming back, and dandelions are taking over the lawns. Everything is finally green though, and it makes me happy. Even the trees out front which take the longest time to finally get their leaves are leafing. ^.^

Oh, and on the way into Regina, we thought there was some sort of grass fire. There was white stuff in the air. As we got closer, we realized it was near (Chaplin?) where there is the salt lake. Turned out there were dust devils made of salt. I got a couple pictures which will be uploaded, but it looked amazingly awesome.

Haven't been doing much art stuff lately. I've been playing Brawl and been sleeping lots because I don't feel so well. Easter was quiet and nice, and spring means that flowers will come out and maybe the grass will become green again. Maybe.

Today also marks one year since we moved away from camp. I love it here, but still wish I was somewhere else.

I did two new manips today. Well...yesterday. Baran and Wrath. I've got about four more to go to make everybody happy. Although I could've done one for someone else instead of doing Baran for myself, but I felt more inspired to do one for me. XD

Um...not much else. I've been drawing lately, and I got some ink with my Christmas money so traditional art may start popping up. Been into drawing faces for some reason, and I can't stop.

Real life is going okay. It was snowing all today and is supposed to be cold all week. Job hunting isn't going so well in this kind of weather, but once it gets above around -8 Celsius and isn't windy or snowy, I might end up walking downtown and scouting places out.

Might be heading into Calgary this weekend. My great aunt who's been fighting cancer for the past couple years died around two this(yesterday) afternoon. She had a blood clot in her leg and was on blood thinners, then I guess she fell or something and started bleeding internally. There wasn't much they could do except give her some pain killers. So depending on if my mom can get time off work (which she should since it's her aunt) we might go in. Also depends on if the weather clears up some.

Yeah, on a not so depressing side. The Flames won their game tonight? XD Weird game that was.

Pictures need to be uploaded somewhere or I lose them all. USB drives are so freaking expensive. I can't afford one until I get the money from my brother which would mean I would have to do the transfers and crap there before he wipes the computer.

Haha, art stuff. Whatever. All the pretties are gone. Rolling brown landscape just isn't fun to take pictures of. Neither are a bunch of dead plants, although our pansies are still hanging on. But I already have tons of shots of them, and can't get them to look good at all. >.> Mushroom growing on one of our trees in the backyard, but I'm not tall enough to get the shots of it I want. And standing on a ladder to take pictures just might creep out my neighbours a bit.

Thinking of leaving home, I don't have money and I hate the idea of leaving my computer behind. But, it's been going through my mind for the past month and a half. Well, when I was sixteen I swore I'd leave home soon after I turned eighteen. With my nineteenth birthday two months away, I figure now is probably a good time.

So yeah, life's been screwy, and I haven't taken any new photos. Not ones that I want to upload anyway. I'm not going to make money off of prints I try to sell here, so I figure I'll do it in the real world.

Which was a slim few actually. So I'll be uploading a lot probably over the next week.

Lovely tiger lilies blooming around here.

We checked the weather news, it said there was only trace amounts of rain for our area, yet showed a giant storm coming straight for us. (Wtf? They can't read their own maps.)

So the wind picks up, the lightning gets closer and my mom and I high-tail it downstairs where my dad was watching t.v. And the power goes out. But that was really no problem if you wanted to look outside because it was seriously almost constant lightning.

Our power came back the next morning around seven I think. Other parts of the city had to wait for another day or so to get theirs back.

Freaky storm. So of course, I got a couple pictures of the aftermath. ]]> *silverstar170 http://silverstar170.deviantart.com/journal/13308840/ http://silverstar170.deviantart.com/journal/13308840/ Mon, 11 Jun 2007 20:46:15 PDT
Okay, feeling better. But seriously, when I have to flick a caterpillar off a flower before I take a picture of the flower, it gets freaking annoying. I want them all to die.

However, I am loving the garden we have here. While I miss the lilacs at camp, this place has so many flowers that we've planted a ton that are coming up from last year. So there's always a new surprise when something flowers very beautifully.

Lots of iris. The all purple ones have already bloomed and died. The white and purple are now in full bloom. One of our neighbors has yellow ones, I must ask them if I can take pictures of their flowers.

My cat has this uncanny ability to look away whenever I take a picture. I even held him and put the camera up to his face and he still ended up turning his head away at the right moment. >.< I got a couple good ones of him though.

I was going to upload a bunch of pictures, but I remembered the TDF contest. So no pictures until I figure out which ones I'm entering and which I'm not.

Anyway, he's three now. I wish I could be there to be a part of his life.

Sadly missed my niece's birthday in February. I'm horrible at remembering birthdays unless the person is actually there to remind me.

Oh and the Flames actually won a game. XD

Recently moved to Saskatchewan, so I'm getting settled. Our furnace has broken though, so we'll have to wait for tomorrow for it to get fixed. I also think I'm allergic to something in the house

I really should upload new stuff.

Plus I've been sick. Somehow that inspires me to do something. I'm getting better thankfully. I can't wait to have my nose back working so I don't have to breath through my mouth when I sleep. My poor clean pillowcase has drool all over it from just one night. Then I wake up and my mouth is dried out and I have to drink two cups of water just so I can talk.

I have no idea why I ever chose 170 and not something like...5. I don't think there where that many when I signed up for hotmail. Way back when. XD

Which explains my random high. ^___^ I just have to get my grandparents to use their credit card and pay them back with cash. And I'll be using a tablet.

Now if only my cold would go away.

Whenever I think of him, I just see him lying there. A puddle of blood on the road. Someone obviously moved him from where he was hit and put him in the grass beside the road so he wouldn't be run over again and again.

The shock is wearing off, but the image is going to stay in my mind for a while more. He was only one and a half years old, purebred ragdoll. Loud and annoying, but didn't deserve to die like he did.
