First it was cool to like Twilight, and now it's cool to hate it? I mean, either you like it or you don't? I'll be the first to acknowledge that it's badly written with flat characters and mary sue's, but the story still got me hooked and I enjoyed reading it. (Though Breaking Down was really pretty bad). It's just weird to see people who were into it now suddenly hating it.<br /><br />And what's up with all the drama? Isn't this an art site and not myspace? I mean, aren't we all here to actually create art and learn, improve, appreciate art and support others? Isn't it called deviantART? It's beginning to look like this site isn't about art anymore, it's just a big popularity contest.. people don't even care anymore if it turns out someone was stealing stuff, or tracing or whatever. <br /><br />It's like Aniutqa part two. (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://encyclopediadramatica.com/AniutqaDA">[link]</a>) Didn't we learn anything from that? Everyone was pretty much worshipping her when it was pretty clear she was just tracing spirit line art. I'm actually suprised people opened their eyes AT ALL! <br /><br />It's like, when an artist becomes popular she can never do anything wrong anymore. They're like instant gods or something. Ugh I'm so sick of it.<br /><br />Oh and another thing, when exactly did it become okay to beg for money on DA? And I'm not talking about commissions here, that's entirely different. It's so weeeird!<br /><br />I probably shouldn't write journals when I'm angry.<br />Anyways, much love to all my friends and newest watchers <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><br /><br /><div class="jcustom" align="left"><br /><div class="titles"><b>Recent favorites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://AcidicGlamour.deviantart.com/art/cozy-october-morning-140553417"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs50/150/i/2009/290/b/7/cozy_october_morning_by_AcidicGlamour.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Culpeo-Fox.deviantart.com/art/Walking-on-the-edge-117416478"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs44/150/i/2009/087/b/e/Walking_on_the_edge_by_Culpeo_Fox.jpg" width="141" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://m0thyyku.deviantart.com/art/sunset-in-books-land-143555176"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs50/150/i/2009/318/0/e/sunset_in_books___land__by_m0thyyku.jpg" width="150" height="120" /></a></span></span><br /></b></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /></div></div><br /><br /></img><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><div class="end"><br /><div class="end"></div></div></img></div><br /><br /></img></div> ]]></description>

That's what it means. <br />W: On the contrary, Susanna. Ambivalence suggests strong feelings... in opposition. The prefix, as in "ambidextrous," means "both."

I need to draw more!<br /><br />Anyway, here's a quiz I stole from Cricket/Winzer/Michelle/Liz <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /><br /><br /><b>Why did you join this site?</b><br />I joined in August 2004 with my first account!<br /><br /><b>What does your username have to do with you? Is it a combination of your favorite things, or a character of yours?</b><br />My username actually comes from the book "Silverbrumby Whirlwind" I just liked the sound of it, and I act like a whirlwind every once in a while, so it fits, right? After that I created my fursona, also called Whirlwind, or Whirl. <br /><br /><b>What is your current icon of?</b><br />It's a shared icon with =<a class="u" href="http://cricketwings.deviantart.com/">CricketWings</a> and mine is of my fursona, Whirl.<br /><br /><b>How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?</b><br />She watches 154 people, while 838 people watch her.<br />Yeah I don't watch that many people <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /> I'm very happy with all of my watchers though!<br /><br /><b>Do you have more than one account?</b><br />Yeah, I have <a href="http://tiny-wings.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/i/tiny-wings.png?5" alt=":icontiny-wings:" title="tiny-wings"/></a> but it's kinda hard to be active on two accounts. My old account is still around as well, but I never log in.<br /><br /><b>Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.</b><br />My favorite artist on DA is:<br /><a href="http://b1nd1.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/1/b1nd1.gif?1" alt=":iconb1nd1:" title="b1nd1"/></a> <br />I love pretty much everything she does, especially her newest drawings. I think we are very much alike.<br /><br />I don't really have one favorite photographer but if I would have to pick it would be:<br /><a href="http://mumbojumbo89.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/u/mumbojumbo89.jpg?4" alt=":iconmumbojumbo89:" title="mumbojumbo89"/></a><br /><br />My favorite writer on DA is:<br /><a href="http://iwouldratherfly.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/w/iwouldratherfly.gif?2" alt=":iconiwouldratherfly:" title="iwouldratherfly"/></a><br /><br /><b>Which deviants do you admire because of their personality?</b><br /><a href="http://cricketwings.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/cricketwings.gif?4" alt=":iconcricketwings:" title="cricketwings"/></a> because she's amazing, otherwordly and open minded.<br /><a href="http://boribaby.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/o/boribaby.gif?3" alt=":iconboribaby:" title="boribaby"/></a> & <a href="http://pearlypony.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/e/pearlypony.jpg?6" alt=":iconpearlypony:" title="pearlypony"/></a> because they are super sweet<br /><br /><b>How many people on here do you actually know in reality?

I had a lot of messages so I had to delete most journals and drawings, I commented on a few but I can't reply to everything, sorry. I hope you understand.<br /><br />I just saw The Bucket List and it made me remember that I have a list like that as well, somewhere. (A list with things you want to do before you die). Now I can cross out one of the things: Meet my online friends! It was absolutely wonderful to meet everyone.<br /> <a href="http://supermelisa3149.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/u/supermelisa3149.gif?1" alt=":iconsupermelisa3149:" title="supermelisa3149"/></a><a href="http://ambius.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/m/ambius.gif?1" alt=":iconambius:" title="ambius"/></a> <a href="http://cricketwings.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/cricketwings.gif?4" alt=":iconcricketwings:" title="cricketwings"/></a><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/h/whirl-wind.gif?4" alt=":iconwhirl-wind:" title="whirl-wind"/></a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br /><br />I think it's amazing how we bonded, it was so natural!<br /><br />I must admit that I was afraid and nervous beyond words. Me, easily intimidated and shy girl; flying to the other side of the world, going on a plane for the first time in her life, all alone and meeting a bunch of people she has never seen before! But everything turned out okay, I almost missed a flight and I had to switch planes because the motor didn't work but I made it! Oh and I got singled out everytime, I think because I was travelling alone. I got questioned a few times and when I landed they searched through my stuff. Oh well. <br /><br />The first week was hard, I'm not going to lie. Ashley and her mom were wonderful, but I had trouble adjusting to the time change. (Holland is 8 hours ahead of California) I would wake up 3 or 5 in the morning. I missed my family and my house. And I was shy lol. But it was wonderful to see Walnut Creek and San Francisco!<br /><br />And it was hard to switch languages so suddenly. I thought it was easier because I write english everyday, but I found it harder to speak. I got more used to it at the end of our trip though. I could understand everything fine as long as I paid attention but talking yourself is different, I had to think everytime before I spoke and sometimes I just messed up because I got nervous. I also had a lot of trouble pronouncing words like: bathroom and thirteen so I usually tried to avoid these words <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /><br /><br />Then we flew to LA, met Jess and went to Disney what I absolutely loved. I can't believe that such a big Disney lover like me has never been to Disneyland before XD Anyway, we somehow got into some kind of fight/drama with Jess. And we end up taking over Chelsea's place <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />I absolutely LOVED our last week in LA. Like I said, Melisa, Ashley, Chelsea and I got along perfect and I was never one moment bored, they are amazing and I'm fortunate to get to know these awesome girls. And Chelsea has the nicest parents ever, so it was a joy to be able to stay at her place. <br /><br />The things I loved most (but really, I loved everything): <br />-Meeting Ashley (and Savvy!)<br />-Shopping in Walnut Creek<br />-Eating pizza in Berkeley where they played live music<br />-Holding a ball python<br />-Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge<br />-Seeing all San Francisco from the Coit tower<br />-Seeing LA from the plane and realizing how HUGE it is<br />-The Hollywood Walk of Fame<br />-Going to Disneyland and seeing their fireworks<br />-Meeting Melisa<br />-Meeting Chelsea (and Destin!)<br />-Baking cookies for breakfast<br />-Petting kittens and getting two dogs adopted<br />-Chelsea's party and our costumes<br />-Painting t-shirts<br />-Shopping at the Grove and having dinner with the four of us<br />-Seeing the Hollywood sign<br />-Goi... ]]></description>

ItÂs so strange because I really feel sad about him not being here anymore. ItÂs just that, to me he really was a king of a music and he really did stand alone at the top. And IÂm not even a fan. His death doesnÂt change anything to my personal life, there is no difference but I still feel that sense of loss. <br /><br />I sympathize with him and in some ways I really understand him. Of course heÂs loved so so much, heÂs truly one of the most famous people ever. And at the same time heÂs hated by so many. And I donÂt think itÂs fair, how can you possibly hate someone you donÂt even know? ItÂs just ignorant people who read magazines and tabloids and believe everything they read. They donÂt understand that more than half of the stuff in magazines is made up or exaggerated. ItÂs sad really. ItÂs also heartbreaking to hear Michael pleading to not read them, to not believe stories or people until youÂve heard both sides of the story, and heÂs right. He was a revolutionary singer/songwriter/dancer but his personal life almost got more attention then his artistic abilities.<br /><br />I do honestly believe Michael was innocent, thereÂs no way he molested a child, I do not believe that. He was just a child at heart. He was a lonely child that grew up as a lonely man. A lonely man that never had a childhood. I do not disagree that he became a little obsessed with children, he refused to grow up. He said: ÂI am Peter PanÂ. But he wasnÂt obsessed with children for the wrong reasons, he loved them for their sense of wonder and imagination, for their love and pure honesty. They did not judge him, children love without limits. ThatÂs what he loved. He did not understand that you donÂt necessarily have to lose these things by growing up. You can be an adult and still love and play. <br /><br />I was surprised to learn heÂs very shy and sensitive but also honest. You can just hear and see heÂs truthful about something. I believe the things he said about himself except for the plastic surgery thing. I do not believe he was honest about that and you can see it in his eyes, he also gets really defensive about this every time. I think he did have plastic surgery more than twice.<br /><br />The truth is, he was just a lonely guy with a sad history and I think the media just made it worse by targeting him and making up these weird stories about him. And heÂs just so sweet and shy and he does not even defend himself. But heÂs such a good person, he gave SO much to charity and he really did try to Âheal the wordÂ. I found his honesty and love very touching. ThereÂs this part at the end of the documentary ÂLiving with Michael JacksonÂ where Martin Bashir and he are talking about the sleepovers and he says heÂs just trying to help kids form a broken family and how they need attention and care. He says: ÂWe need to bond again, thatÂs very important MartinÂ. Just the way he says the last sentence really touched me, he was trying to explain himself to Martin Bashir, who did not seem to understand. ItÂs like he explains later: ÂIÂm just very sensitive to their pain. It means a lot to me and I want to helpÂ. <br /><br />Watch it for yourself if you want, I can't link it here but search Living with Michael Jackson (part 9/10) and you'll find it.<br />ItÂs around 5:20. I found it painful to watch because Martin was opinionated and just trying to damage him more. ItÂs sad when people canÂt just be honest and loving anymore, they must always be destroyed. And the way they destroyed Michael is just heartbreaking. ÂI have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It's not nice.Â & Â People think they know me, but they don't. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me.Â<br /><br />Poor poor Michael, he never really had a life. ItÂs like he said on Oprah: When you are famous you give up yourself a lot. <br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Whirl<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br... ]]></description>

I'd reach for the stars<br /><b>but I can't find my arms</b><br /><br />I'm a person that has high highs and low lows. A lot of things make me sad. Sometimes it's almost easier to be sad<br /><br />And If I was in a crowd, <br />you probably wouldn't notice me. <br />I don't really stand out &<br />I don't talk much to people I don't know.<br />It's kind of hard to know me or be friends <br />with me, so I advise not to waste your <br />time on me... but that doesn't mean <br /><i>I don't want you to try</i><br /><br />"I like the things that I like, but I love everything"<br /><br />My heart is no longer big enough to hold all of the love I feel for you. It flows out, into my bloodstream through my veins and into my skin. If you touch me you can feel itÂ humming beneath the surface. Â<br /><br /><i>Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a tough battle, too.</i><br /><br />i dreamed you were a cosmonaut of the space between our<br />chairs, and i was a cartographer of the tangles in your hair<br /><br />And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. <br /><br />Sometimes do we even want to find a cure for the disease that is You?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Whirl<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><br /><br /><div class="jcustom" align="left"><br /><div class="titles"><b>Recent favourites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://MoonsongWolf.deviantart.com/art/Magic-Once-Stirred-Here-125952132"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs48/150/f/2009/165/4/3/Magic_Once_Stirred_Here_by_MoonsongWolf.jpg" width="142" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://CrushedSilence.deviantart.com/art/Monsters-120306524"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs45/150/i/2009/114/b/f/Monsters_by_CrushedSilence.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://deerdancer.deviantart.com/art/20-000-hours-90500895"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs31/150/i/2008/207/e/a/20_000_hours_by_deerdancer.jpg" width="71" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /></b></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /></div></div><br /><br /></img><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><div class="end"><br /><div class="end"></div></div></img></div><br /><br /></img></div> ]]></description>

Any help considering avatars or getting back my royal and shadow uni is greatly appreciated! My new main is: Whirlywindy. <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=whirlywindy">[link]</a> There is some junk in my trades for possible donations <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> </b><br /><br />oh god, I had a really shitty day today and to make it worse:<br />I JUST GOT FROZEN ON NEOPETS.<br /><br />And that might not seem important if you don't play but I loved that account, it was like almost 6 years old and it was my VERY first neo account and I had all these NC mall items, and neopoints, and I started this gallery that was quite large already, with lots of expensive items and the worst thing: I was an avatar collecter and I had 246 avatars D: + I had 8 Neopian Times trophies, Random Contest trophie, old plot trophies.. etc etc.<br /><br />I'm really sad right now, but it was my own fault. A real life friend of me plays too and we are both addicted to collecting avatars and sometimes we log onto each others accounts to help with game avatars. Like I got the eliv thade avatar for her and she got me snowmuncher, we do that a lot. But tonight we both got frozen for 'sharing accounts'. Which we didn't do but we DID break the rules since we went onto each others account (not allowed) and we gave our passwords away (not allowed either). Like I said, we had gone onto each other's accounts before and we didn't get frozen. We think we got frozen tonight because we changed our passwords into each other's usernames, which was dumb but right then it sounded okay. <br /><br />ANYWAY, do you think we can come up with a clever way to get our accounts back? Can you help us think of one? I reaaaally want it back, I need it back D: <br /><br />I lost my pets too, I lost Leila (shadow uni) and Aamir (royal boy uni). <br /><br />I'm sad right now I had that account since I was 13 or something, it means a lot to me.<br />Please help to get it back?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Whirl<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><br /><br /><div class="jcustom" align="left"><br /><div class="titles"><b>Recent favourites:<br /></b></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://DuckyPhotography.deviantart.com/art/Face-Of-Love-120542574"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.com/fs43/150/i/2009/116/1/9/Face_Of_Love_by_DuckyPhotography.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://slumberdoll.deviantart.com/art/Cinderella-120106051"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.com/fs43/150/f/2009/112/3/7/3749925a462bafafe7494526e1b292eb.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://soulofautumn87.deviantart.com/art/Bookworm-Story-Vol-2-123519366"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.com/fs45/150/f/2009/144/8/8/Bookworm_Story_Vol_2_by_soulofautumn87.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span> <br /></div></div><br /><br /></img><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><div class="end"><br /><div class="end"></div></div></img></div><br /><br /></img></div> ]]></description>

I really liked these:<br />-Incendiary<br />-The virgin suicides<br />-Speak<br />-Lost and delirious<br />-The science of sleep<br /><br />But I'm almost running out of movies I want to watch so recommand me some good ones? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> (pssh: I'm into indie stuff, I also like cute/good love movies and the occasional drama. No scary stuff though, I'm chickenshit) Oh by the way, I really want to see Pan's Labyrinth & Slumdog millionair but I chicken out everytime I start to watch them because I somehow think they are scary. I know there's violence in them, but is it a lot? Disturbing? <br /><br />& does anyone know a site like shelfari, but for movies? I'd love that!<br /><br />I'm really just writing this journal so I don't have to clean my room, it's so messy.<br />I swear, there are more clothes on the ground then in my closet. Mountains of clothes. Remember I once said I could wear something completely different everyday (including shoes) for a whole month? Make that at least two months XD<br /><br />And thanks for the response to my 'what are you studying' journal. But I, sadly, still don't know what I want. People are driving me crazy by asking me if I've already figured it out. There's at least one persone EVERYDAY that's asking me. Especially at work, it's their favourite thing alongside commenting about me not eating enough. Ah well, you get used to it. And it's nice to have people that care.<br /><br /><br />Oh and I'm pleasantly surprised at all the favourites this got:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/art/Eyes-cream-90142825"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs30/150/f/2008/181/4/5/Eyes_cream_by_whirl_wind.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span><br /><br />I'm really happy this is liked so much, it's now my most favourited piece after the tutorials (and that one drawing I did for Liz) which means it beat the stamp and that tiny completely referenced fanart picture. YAY. I'm happy okay? I didn't like that those pieces were my most favourited. I love the photo though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Random journal, much?

Oh well, I'll think of something.<br /><br />Oh yeah, figure skating. I was going to talk about that a whole lot earlier. But remember how crazy I was about it last year? This year.. not so much. We went a few times and then stopped. It was just, different somehow. And we were still in the same group so we weren't learning anything new.<br />And there was more annoying stuff. Anyway Judith and I ended up taking the train but then deciding we didn't want to go and then just went shopping or something. And this happened all the time.<br />So we just stopped going. I miss how it was last year, and I miss the people sometimes. *sigh*<br /><br />Oh and I still haven't decided on my study yet and I'm so scared because I should be applying right now, yet I still don't know what I want D: It's horrible really. I need ideas.

TIGER LILY. JUST. DIED.<br />Well, I mean, not just, I just found out, this morning.<br />I knew it when I woke up. I just woke up before my alarmclock went off (7 in the morning D: )<br />and I opened my eyes and saw her cage and suddenly I was just struck with fear.<br />Like, I just knew. Because I realized that I hadn't seen her the night before, plus I had slept<br />all night without her waking me up once or twice, AND she wasn't awake now either.<br /><br />So I stumbled out of bed and kind of went crazy trying to wake her up. (because I still kind of hoped that she was sleeping, I mean.. of course I hoped that) But alas, I opened the little house she's sleeping in and there she was, dead. That was so hard to see. And I could not even cry much because I had to just.. let her be and hurry because I had to work. Luckily I just had to work till 12 because I felt like I was going to cry the whole morning. I had this one customer who was being unfriendly and I was THIS close to breaking down.<br /><br />-sigh- it's just absurd really. and the weirdest thing is that I have NO idea how the poor thing died? I mean, she had plenty of water and food (duh) and I have a little window open in my room, but it's not cold at all, it wasn't hot either. She was a baby still, how could she have died?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /> I feel so bad right now, so helpless. <br />I'm just remembering this quote for the neverending story.<br />When the rockbiter, who is this huge giant made out of rocks, is staring at his hands.<br />Crying and helpless too, and Atreyu is like: what happened?<br />And he says: <i>"They look like big, good, strong hands. Don't they? I always thought that's what they were. My little friends. The little man with his racing snail, the Nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold on to them. The nothing pulled them right out of my hands. I failed."</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><br /><br /><div class="jcustom" align="left"><br /><div class="titles"><b>Featuring =<a class="u" href="http://vyntresserdrake1991.deviantart.com/">VyntresserDrake1991</a> who got me my sub!<br />(go give her love!) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /></b></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://VyntresserDrake1991.deviantart.com/art/Broken-112408368"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/040/7/9/Broken_by_VyntresserDrake1991.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://VyntresserDrake1991.deviantart.com/art/Define-Dancing-107890831"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs38/150/i/2008/365/2/e/Define_Dancing____by_VyntresserDrake1991.jpg" width="150" height="98" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://VyntresserDrake1991.deviantart.com/art/Think-Twice-100766468"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs37/150/i/2008/288/b/0/Think_Twice_by_VyntresserDrake1991.jpg" width="78" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /></div></div><br /><br /></img><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e100/CricketWings/journal%20css/whirl-wind/breakbar.png"><div class="end"><br /><div class="end"></div></div></img></div><br /><br /></img></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello there!<br /><br />I've been absent for a while, did you notice? I did. I always think I'm sick of DA but I always miss it when I'm away from it. But anyway, it's reaaly scary to see how many messages I have so I'm afraid I'll have to delete A LOT of them. Maybe I will just fav and run for once. Sorry! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br />I'm always kind of afraid that no one misses me.<br />Anyway, I'm kind of back I guess?<br /><br />I got a new hamster last weekend, she's such a pretty baby and she's called Tiger Lily. (Just Tiger for short) but she also makes me miss Jewel more. Oh well, I'm  happy to have her.<br /><br />Oh yeah and my sub died -_- bye bye pretty journal!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow. So I was taking quizzes and tests on the internet because I still haven't figured out to which school I want to go to. And I took this test and thought it was a career test (and it kind of was) and then it told me my Myers-Briggs personality type. (yes google it)<br /><br />So according to this test I was type INFP (Introversion, Intuition, Feeling & Perception) so I was like riiiight, let's check this out and I was just.. baffled. It IS exactly like me. It's just like when I learned that my Enneagram type was four. It's like it is written about you. It's freaky actually. I got like goose bumps all over.<br /><br />SO yeah if you're interested, this is basically a detailed description of me (EXCEPT, and therÃ©s only one exception, I'm actually not that great with changes) : <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INFP">[link]</a> & <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healer_(Role_Variant">[link]</a>)<br /><br />(<i>These things stood out for me: they expend energy in social situations whereas extraverts gain energy, internal sense of right and wrong, delays important decisions, curious to understand those around them, can at first make them difficult to get to know, taking particular delight in the unusual, an ability to see varying sides of an issue, creative types, easily distracted, they require substantial time alone to ponder and process new information.<br /><br />And though to all appearances they might seem reserved, and even shy, on the inside they are anything but reserved, having a capacity for caring not always found in other types. They care deeply. </i>)<br /><br />Take a test and tell me what type you are!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recent favourites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://Ilojleen.deviantart.com/art/I-am-112722784"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/044/5/4/I_am_by_Ilojleen.jpg" width="125" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://screemgirl.deviantart.com/art/cup-of-love-111993214"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs40/150/i/2009/037/e/0/cup_of_love_by_screemgirl.jpg" width="150" height="103" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://ravenskar.deviantart.com/art/RR-Project-002-101890362"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs41/150/f/2009/038/0/9/RR_Project__002__by_ravenskar.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

It's like, there's so much drama here it's so stupid. And all the people who think they are soooo good but are just another spirit/disney/whatever rip off. And I hate all these journals about whiny people who are in love with a fictional character (wtf?) and who turn into real bitches because their art got stolen. We should worry about why in the world their art even got stolen in the first place?!<br /><br />DA is not myspace for crying out loud! <br /><br />Another thing that's hilarious is looking at my stats. Guess what my most faved deviations are (well after that picture I did for Liz) :<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/art/Basic-Tutorial-82359766"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs28/150/f/2008/101/2/4/Basic_Tutorial_by_whirl_wind.png" width="15" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/art/How-to-color-lineart-tutorial-58775058"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs17/150/f/2007/181/9/0/How_to_color_lineart__tutorial_by_whirl_wind.png" width="48" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/art/Everlee-and-Liz-support-stamp-63158207"><img src="http://fc15.deviantart.com/fs19/f/2007/236/d/e/Everlee_and_Liz_support_stamp_by_whirl_wind.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><br />YES THAT'S RIGHT. Two tutorials and a frickin stamp. & all I want to know is.. WHY? These cost me like 3 seconds to make, all together. Funnier is even what comes after these:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/art/Sinking-away-58825167"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.com/fs18/150/f/2007/182/7/f/Sinking_away_by_whirl_wind.png" width="150" height="120" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://facepalmplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/facepalmplz.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfacepalmplz:" title="facepalmplz"/></a> a 100x100 picture, completely referenced by a screenshot of a movie. yay. that's most definately my best piece.<br /><br />And I mean, I'm just here because I like art. I like it. I don't neeeed it. I don't want to be a professional, it's just something I do when I have time. Sometimes, I'm wondering why the heck you guys that want to make this your job are still here? You tell me.<br /><br />I'm here for my friends too but somehow they start to annoy me too? (okay, only a couple actually- but still) What is wrong with me? XD <br /><br />Ps. Isn't it totally ironic that I make a journal filled with all the stuff I hate. (bitching, whining, drama). Lol, it's DA's influence, I can't help it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />Ps2. Don't take this too serious I'm just in a bad mood and it feels like I'm growing up and I dont want to. I want to love DA forever, and I wish I wouldn't mind the stupid drama stuff, that I would not even notice that. I hate that it starts to bother me, that I start to feel too old for this stuff.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recent favourites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://yeller-dandelion.deviantart.com/art/Rebecca-Bailey-98134996"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs37/150/f/2008/260/4/c/Rebecca_Bailey_by_yeller_dandelion.jpg" width="149" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://m0thyyku.deviantart.com/art/strange-questions-111320751"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/031/4/5/strange_questions__by_m0thyyku.jpg" width="122" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://PearlEden.deviantart.com/art/Seven-Wonders-The-Holy-Tree-111025746"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs40/150/i/2009/028/f/f/Seven_Wonders__The_Holy_Tree_by_PearlEden.jpg" width="150" height="91" /></a>... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://cricketwings.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/r/cricketwings.gif?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcricketwings:" title="cricketwings"/></a><a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/h/whirl-wind.gif?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwhirl-wind:" title="whirl-wind"/></a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br /><br />I got tagged by <a href="http://s-lilje.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/_/s-lilje.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icons-lilje:" title="s-lilje"/></a> so I decided to do it again even though IÂve done it a hundred times already and this thing is pretty old. But idk I just like coming up with weird things.<br /><br /><i>"The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic " 8 Weird Habits/Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 8 Weird Habits/Things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 8 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their devPage comments and tell them to read yours."</i><br /><br />1. It is SO easy to scare me, you have no idea. And I hate this because when IÂm at work (and IÂm working on my own somewhere) IÂm like in my own bubble, IÂm all concentrated on what IÂm doing and just thinking about stuff and not paying attention to things around me I guess. And then when a customer wants to ask me something, they scare me XD Which is so dumb. It also happens when a colleague calls me, I get all jumpy. <br /><br />2. I always feel like crying when I hear this song: <a href="http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=RbI7cCp0v6w">[link]</a><br />& I DONÂT KNOW WHY!<br /><br />3. At home we have those spoons and only one of them has the letters BP on the back of them. I ALWAYS need to have that spoon, I search for it until I have it XD I also steal it from someoneÂs cup when they already got it.<br /><br />4. I always like to write on the inside of my hand. I always write down something like.. I love you, or just Hello or How are you. I never really draw attention to it or move my hands so someone will notice, I just want someone to accidentally read it and smile. <br /><br />5. IÂm not on msn a lot but when I am I usually forget about the conversations I was having, like IÂm browsing sites while talking and then I just forget I was talking to someone. The other person usually gets upset lol.<br /><br />6. I have this weird habit of buying shoes I never wear anyway. I have quite a lot of shoes I wore only once or twice, some never!<br /><br />7. I do not like my own name! The only thing I like about it is that itÂs quite unusual but thatÂs about it.<br /><br />8. IÂm a vegetarian. YAY. Okay that wasnÂt a weird fact but I canÂt think of anything else at the moment.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recent favourites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://yeller-dandelion.deviantart.com/art/Rebecca-Bailey-98134996"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs37/150/f/2008/260/4/c/Rebecca_Bailey_by_yeller_dandelion.jpg" width="149" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://m0thyyku.deviantart.com/art/strange-questions-111320751"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/031/4/5/strange_questions__by_m0thyyku.jpg" width="122" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://PearlEden.deviantart.com/art/Seven-Wonders-The-Holy-Tree-111025746"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs40/150/i/2009/028/f/f/Seven_Wonders__The_Holy_Tree_by_PearlEden.jpg" width="150" height="91" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was listening to: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBlFBOxRKo">[link]</a><br />And it turned out to be kind of sad. But that isn't much of a surprise is it? My secrets are mostly sad or angry ones. I'm not good at keeping happy secrets. If I love my friend, or when I'm happy when they have been here for me, I'll just tell them ^^<br /><br />So anyway, here's my secrets:<br />(ps. for exra drama read them while listening to the song <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />)<br /><br />1. List facts for 16 different people you want to say but will never tell them out loud.<br />2. Don't reveal who they are.<br />3. You can comment but don't answer to guesses. The idea is that no one knows who the facts are indicated to.<br />4. Tag three (3) people.<br /><br /><i>One or two are about online people btw <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> So it's not just rl.</i><br /><br /><br />1.	You are my best friend, but sometimes I wished you would stop making these horrible comments just because <b>you</b> are insecure, does it really makes you feel that much better? But I still love you, even if you would never apologize.<br />2.	IÂm sorry about all the things I said about you, I wasnÂt really angry, I was sad because you abandoned me. I felt like I could always tell you everything, and just be me, I still miss you sometimes.<br />3.	I still think about you, we were friends for so long. It feels weird not seeing you anymore, but I donÂt really miss you, just maybe the person you used to be when we were young.<br />4.	I really love you, I just wish you would love yourself too. You donÂt need all these boys to feel loved, or to replace your dad. IÂm sorry he wasnÂt there for you when you needed him. <br />5.	IÂm grateful I got to know you, you are really interesting and it makes me smile just thinking about how much you laugh.<br />6.	You. What can I tell you? A hundred thousand words still wouldnÂt be enough to tell you how I feel. There are no words.<br />7.	I feel like I let you down in the time you needed me the most, I have never been a really good friend, but I wished I could be, especially now. You just scare me, I am sorry.<br />8.	You were never my best friend but sometimes it feels like it, you are so wonderful and funny and amazing.  I loved all the weird things we used to do. If only we could hang out sometime. I still feel like thereÂs a secret you havenÂt told me about. In the mean time, IÂm happy with writing emails every day.<br />9.	You and I collided from the start, I tried to make it work, I really did but youÂre not my kind of person, IÂm sorry but IÂm not your friend anymore.<br />10.	You are truly one of my favourite persons, you are as unique as a snowflake and you always seem to make my day look brighter, better, happier. You donÂt just make me smile, you make my heart sing. I feel like we are so much alike, itÂs really amazing.<br />11.	I love you so much, you are so crazy and lovable. I wish we were still as crazily close as we used to be. <br />12.	I am so sorry, I wish I could turn back time and save you. I love you. I miss you. You were perfect.<br />13.	I love you, but sometimes it feels like my love is not enough. You donÂt know how much you scared me, how sad you made me. How unloved and small. Please donÂt ever make me feel like that again.<br />14.	I wish you werenÂt so scarred, I wish I wasnÂt like a reflection of you. It feels like I have to fight a fight everyday because of you. It is so hard to change. I wish you actually WERE that open and emotional like you make the outside world believe.<br />15.	I like you. But I know that isnÂt enough for you, you arenÂt satisfied with just liking and you can send me as many text messages as youÂd like but that doesnÂt make me love you.<br />16.	I love you, even though it doesn't always show. ThatÂs all you need to know, I love you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recent favourites:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://JelloCloned-raee.deviantart.com/art/270-108287416"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs38/150/i/2009/003/0/e/270_by_JelloCloned_raee.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://Ilyana88.deviantart.com/art/Winter-Dance-108202030"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs38/150/i/2009/002/2/d/Winter_Dance_by_Ilyana88.png" width="107" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://aparatka.deviantart.com/art/catch-me-108283262"><img src="http://th00.d... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This song always gives me the cills because it reminds me of Mathilda:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDdokE1rAMw">[link]</a><br /><br />Do you remember it too? Gosh I loved that movie so much, I remember always trying to move things with my eyes too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br /><br />This may sound silly but it feels like it's been so long since I went to school for the last time. It feels like years really when it's only months. Working is so entirely different. But it's okay now. The work is fine and the people are really sweet. We are like a family, they said to me on my first day. I can see that now. Most of them are a lot older then I am but I don't mind that at all, a lot of them are really interesting to watch. I am like that, always watching people and trying to figure them out and guessing their stories and secrets. <br /><br />You should try it too sometimes, it's amazing how much you can learn about one person just by watching. One lady is really cute in particular, she nicknamed me the first day haha. I always get over to chat with her like she's an old school friend, even though she is 3 times my age C: But yes, they are interesting and I like having mature conversations with them and just being able to talk about things that other girls my age don't think about, but I do. With my head full of questions x3<br /><br />I'm making cards myself btw, and I will send those + some gifts towards my friends. I hope I will finish them soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Wishlist:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/21591401/">[link]</a><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recents favs:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14833028/"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.com/fs6/150/i/2005/035/7/8/butterfly_mask_by_BlackPlastic.gif" width="112" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/104064575/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs39/150/f/2008/324/1/2/Treasure_for_the_Mermaid_by_daekazu.jpg" width="149" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/95240411/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs31/150/i/2008/253/1/9/Fallen_Angel_by_irinush.jpg" width="132" height="150" /></a></span></span> <br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

And just a little bit of time in general. I'm so busy these days.

                <description><![CDATA[ Full name?<br />Whirlwind. Well Jamilla Spronk actually but that doesnÂt sound as cool.<br /><br />Male/Female?<br />Female. Obviously<br /><br />Were you named after anyone?<br />Nope.<br /><br />Does your name mean anything?<br />Yes, itÂs an arabic name and it means beautiful .<br /><br />Nickname(s)?<br />RL: Jamill, Jam, Po, Polarbear, Kit, Kitkat, Shampoo sometimes. And lots and lots more, Judith and I always think of weird nicknames.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />Online: Whirl, Whirly, Whirlywoo, Whirlypie, and Bluejay always calls me Whirlygig, whirlywindy.. you name it.<br /><br />What do you think you look like?<br />I look like me? This is kind of a vague question. Average I think, a bit too thin maybe.<br /><br />Date of birth?<br />September 2th, 1990. On my parentÂs 5th wedding day.<br /><br />Place of birth and current location?<br />Linschoten, Holland. And I still live there.<br /><br />Nationality and race?<br />Nationality Â Dutch and for fun I always say Russian because it cracks my mom up. IÂm really 100% dutch actually, and I didnÂt like that so I asked her if we didnÂt have any family from another country and apparently someone from waaay waaay back came from Russia. (my mom used to be interested in genealogy.)<br />Race - White <br /><br />Astrology sign?<br />Virgo. I donÂt believe in astrology though.<br /><br />Chinese astrology sign?<br />Horse yay. I like being a horse, even though I donÂt believe in Chinese astrology either. IsnÂt it kinda weird that there is a chinese version btw? I mean, how can there be two astroloy versions? Which one is the right one? *is confused now*<br /><br /><br />What's your favorite smell?<br />I have a lot of favourite smells, I love hay, rain, fresh cut grass, vanilla & cinnamon. But my all time favourite must be the smells of autumn leaves.<br /><br />What do you prefer to drink in the morning?<br />IÂd prefer some fresh juice, but I always drink water.<br /><br /> Hair + eye color?<br />Hair: Light brown. My sister says itÂs dark blonde. (thatÂs how you call it in dutch) but I donÂt want to have blonde hair so I always say brown.<br />Eye: Blue mostly, some light brown around the pupil.<br /><br />Do you look like anyone famous?<br />Someone once said I looked a little like Mary-Kate but I donÂt agree, at all haha. So IÂd say no.<br /><br />Are you good looking?<br />I think everyone is. I remember Simone and me looking for really ugly people at our school, youÂd be suprised to see there arenÂt many. Most would look beautiful with the right clothes, hair cut or with a little less weight. The really ugly people are the ones that are ugly from inside out.<br /><br />Any unusual talents?<br />Well I can make a really weird hamster face that always enterains everyone. But other then that.. no.<br /><br />Righty, lefty, or ambidextrous?<br />Righty, IÂm still not very good at writing with my left hand but IÂm practicing. Still.<br /><br />Gay, straight, or bi?<br />Straight. <br /><br />What do you do for a living?<br />I work at a store, but itÂs only for a year. Hopefully I will go back to school next year, if I figure out to which school I want to go.<br /><br />What do you do for fun?<br />Drawing, painting, making music even though I suck at it, figure skating, laughing, riding horses, dancing around the house, reading.. thereÂs so much.<br /><br />Materials to work with?<br />Adobe, Tablet, Copic Markers, Tria Markers, Acrylic paint, Oil paint, paper, pencils, thereÂs some pastels, watercolors and charchoal around the house too but my dad always hides those from me. (But itÂs not like I canÂt find them anyway.)<br /><br /> What kind of materials would you like to work with?<br />All, paints mostly. I do work with them but I donÂt feel like IÂm good at it.<br /><br /> Have you met your grandparents?<br />Yes I have. I didnÂt meet my momÂs father since two years ago or something though. And only because he was dying. I didnÂt want to come because I thought it was stupid that he wanted to see me all of a sudden just because he had this disease. He was too late in my opinion but I was forced to go. HeÂs dead now.<br /><br />Crush?<br />No, not anymore. IÂm crushless haha.<br /><br />What celebrity would you date if you could?<br />Johnny Depp? Though heÂs probably too old.<br /><br />Current worries?<br />Well I got this pass from work, you can open the doors with it. But I already lost it after  TWO days. That must be some record. So now I have to pay around $80 and I canÂt open any doors anymore so I have to ask for someoneÂs elseÂs pass every time.<br /><br />Favorite online guy/girl(s)?<br />Ambie, Cricket, Gypsy, Melisa, Sara, Jess, Jayjay,  Ilyana, Sam, Liz, Michelle, Cheesy, Sienna, Janita, Renee, Crystal, Kate, Lani, Melody.. so many! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all: <br /><b>Thanks for the 40,000 pageviews <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /></b><br />I appreciate them mucho! <333 *smooches watchers*<br /><br />Second of all; IÂm sorry for being quite inactive. I started a full time job this Monday because the ice cream store closed for winter and I still didn't figure out what I wanted to be, so I'm working this year.. for 35 hours a week actually. I have the SaturdayÂs off because of figure skating and then I have a second day off. But I have to work from 9 till 6 mostly so itÂs still pretty exhausting. And like I said, IÂm away the whole Saturday + another 3 evening a week so you can understand I have veeerry little time to spend on the computer. Let alone draw <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />. Yeah it sucks, very much. So  donÂt expect me to upload every week but I will try upload every once in a while and to keep up with all my messages. <br /><br />And yes figure skating stared again, it was so exciting to see everyone back. Well almost everyone. I had a really fun day last week and it was so quite on the rink we could train things without bumping into everyone, so it was awesome!<br /><br />Hmm I donÂt have more news I think, that was all!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recents favs:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/100486896/"><img src="http://th25.deviantart.com/fs37/150/f/2008/285/7/8/78d23cb07d0149b6526a486491f44b8b.jpg" width="110" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/99672963/"><img src="http://th11.deviantart.com/fs36/150/f/2008/277/5/3/Underwater_26_by_Sugarock99.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/100234234/"><img src="http://th83.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/283/b/e/Savannah_Song_by_alexandrabirchmore.png" width="150" height="104" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the winner's circle, where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.Â<br />-<i>Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story</i><br /><br /><b>3.</b><br />Â...We got robbed.

                <description><![CDATA[ (<i>btw, I got a new computer so no new art for a while. I don't have my old files on this one yet, neither do I have Adobe yet.</i>)<br /><br />I feel really.. strange I guess. Sad mostly. Today was my sister last day on primary school, same school where I used to go. Yesterday she performed a musical with her class, thatÂs something we do in the netherlands, a musical at the end of your years on the primary school <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I was there at noon, because I wasnÂt allowed to be there in the evening, when they performed for their parents. They had made the musical themselves but they needed an ending song, so they took one from another musical. Which so happens to be my old musical. So I sat there, watching them sing the song I still know by heart, it was so strange,  it was like a strange flashblack and I could remember sitting there, singing that same song. And suddenly I felt so sad that I had left this school, this school that I had loved so much. And I wish that I could have come back, maybe just for one day. I miss it so much. Everything changed ever since we left. Never again did I feel so close to my class, my friends, the school. Because in high school classes and friends change every year. You have different teachers everyday. I didn't attach myself to them. I did when I was younger, maybe too much. I am like that, I can't help it. I don't attach myself easily to anything, but when I do.. it's for a lifetime.<br /><br />I wanted to be there a little longer so I signed up to help with the catering in the evening. So I got to see the musical twice, and since I was helping with the food and everthing I got to stay until Âthe partyÂ ended. (At midnight) At the end there was not much to do so I just chatted with my little sister and her friends, and watched them dance. And I roamed around the place where all the parents and (my old) teachers were chatting, it was so weird to see them again. Especially my favourites, I donÂt think they recognized me though. IÂve changed so much, and it has been 8 or more years since they teached me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br /><br />While helping with everything in the breaks I got to wander through the school,  I rediscoverd my name at two places. There was this tiny brick wall that we made for a project, and all the kids in our class had to paint their names on a brick. The wall was supposed to be removed after a year, but itÂs still there after all these years. It was so weird to see my name there. ThereÂs also this big wall with handprints of everyone that attended the school in March 1997 (I was 6). I found my handprint, I put my hand on it again, I was so tiny back then <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I suddenly remembered so much while walking around there, so many memories just flowed back. It was also great to just smell the scents of the class rooms (like lemons) and hear the sounds again (the dripping of water in the kitchen). <br />Oh how I wish I could go back in time, life was so simple back then. It was so easy to be happy and carefree. When it was all about blowing bubblegum and dolls, drawings, treehouses. When it was so easy to be creative and imaginative.<br /><br />I saw the teepeeÂs at the playground again. I remember I always played there with a friend, I was pocahontas, she was tigerlily. I want to be pocohontas again. I didnÂt want to grow up. I wanted to be like Peter Pan, like Pippi Longstocking, forever young.  I donÂt know what happened, suddenly IÂm almost 18, and I will never be child again and I will never ever be pocahontas again and now that my sister is leaving my old school, I will never go there again. Bye childhood. Sometimes itÂs so hard to be older, life is so much more difficult.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recents favs:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/74767210/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/i/2008/015/f/9/Ever_by_jahshalom.jpg" width="123" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/70841950/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/i/2007/331/d/8/Childhood_by_heresthebasssolo.jpg" width="150" height="130" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33956952/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs9/150/i/2006/148/9/9/Spider_web_by_B1nd1.jpg"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the support guys, I made a second account and I will upload my 'new' art on there, so don't be suprised if you don't see a change on this account. I will tell the username if it works out and I will actually start submitting stuff there <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />--<br /><br />I'm obviously not one of those 'live to work' people, ugh I hate working, last time I had to work I went crazy because it was so boring and stupid and I was so tired at each end of the day, so when my parents where like 'you have to work this summer' I got all scared. Sooo I tried to find a decent job and I ended up at an ice cream.. shop/store? I thought it would be more fun BUT I had my first day friday and it was not haha. The idea of working all summer makes me really sad. I had a pretty stressful year, trying to graduate and all, so all I want is a lot of sleep, a lot of art, and sun, beaches and the sea. Well, goodbye great summer I will be in a pink and black uniform, watching people eat ice cream! At least I will make some money <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />My fascination with ice is sorta funny though, ice skating in winter & ice cream in the summer <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />But don't expext heaps of art just because school is out, I will be pretty busy.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><u>Status/To-do-list:</u> <a href="http://whirl-wind.deviantart.com/journal/17068344/">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recents favs:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/80520434/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs30/150/i/2008/080/6/a/Having_Love_For_Breakfast_by_Mischx.jpg" width="105" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22920091/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/150/fs7.deviantart.com/i/2005/257/7/b/We__ve_Been_Here_Before_by_Taztooed.jpg" width="106" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/87860136/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs29/150/i/2008/158/e/3/Then_the_wind_changed__by_mumbojumbo89.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I never actually made another journal about my gala, but it was reaaaally fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> (even though my dress smelled like smoke for three days, ugh!)<br /><br />I feel sad today, and yesterday and the day before. It's because of school. I have my final exams starting this monday and I'm learning for my history exam and I want to learn it good, for once! I'm memorizing everything + researching. But the subject is wars. That's why it makes me sad. It really really does, there are a lot of things to make me sad but nothing quite like war. It actually makes me feel sick in my stomach, I just don't understand it. Luckily it isn't about the second world war because that one reaaaaaaally manages to make me sad. I remember my tests from last year, I was actually crying when I had to read about second WW. Overly sensitive? Yes, but wars still aren't meant to be here. <br /><br />I read something sad about it, saying that all soldiers died, even the ones that survived, because they damaged themselves on the inside and emotionally died. I mean.. I just don't understand how you can hurt or even kill another human body, someone just like you.. just with another leader to listen to. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br /><br />I'm as confused about war as I am about racism, that's another thing I REALLY don't understand. I think I never will. <br />Make me happy?<br /><br />But yes, exams starting the 19th, I'm a little afraid even though I shouldn't be <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />Wish me luck! <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Recents favs:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/85444915/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs25/150/i/2008/133/8/3/May_Evening_by_Callu.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62189408/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs18/150/i/2007/326/4/c/Catching_Love_Takes_Time_by_Arthenor.jpg" width="132" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62910236/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs21/150/i/2007/233/1/3/Through_by_Never_let_me_go.jpg" width="148" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

But anyway, last actual 'normal' day on my school, tomorrow there is LSD (only for the ones who will graduate this year) which means Last School Day. We have to dress up and then we will have breakfast at school, do some games and then go home to.. CHANGE! Because in the evening there is a gala and we will arrive in pretty cars and there's a red carpet and everything and we will have diner at school. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />And of course we have to wear dresses, haha yeah me in a dress. I wanted a big poofy princessy dress but those are SO expensive. But now I have a pretty grey dress, it's really pretty when you walk/turn. You'll see the photo's friday I think! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)" /> Oh and I have lots of shiny jewelry! I'm pretty excited but also a lil scared because I will be wearing high heels and I usually never wear those because I'm so tall and they make me feel like a giraffe, but everything will work out. I hope XD<br /><br />But wow everything is going so fast now, just a few weeks and I will have to do my final exams, and then I graduated! I finally know what I'm going to do btw, I'm going to study something that's kinda like psychology, but not really. Don't know the name in English XD<br /><br />So yeah, I'll update some photo's of the red carpet moment! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Now I'm going to finish New Moon! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG!

                <description><![CDATA[ yay I've finally seen Aladdin again! So last year I had this dream about watching Aladdin and when I woke up I really wanted to see it but my mom had sold it<br /><br />But now Judith lent it to me, and I love it. I still love all the Disney movies.<br /><br />But sometimes they make me a little sad, I wish I could live in one of those stories. I want to go out and explore, but I can't. Some scenes make my heart die a little, like the scene where Aladdin shows Jasmin his 'house' and there are all these little houses and staircases until they arrive at his place with the awesome view, or the scene in Beauty and the Beast where Belle and Beast are dancing in this huge ballroom, with the painted angels on the ceiling and the huuuuge windows and the stars twinkle outside, or when Ariel is swimming in the city of the mermaids, Aurora, Snow white, Cinderella..<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52845970/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs15/150/f/2007/099/3/d/Reading_by_TakeMyWorldApart.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Why is this real world so less wonderful then the worlds in stories?<br />I want unicorns and castles and palaces, princesses, mermaids, stars falling from the sky, adventures, quests, a magic carpet ride.<br /><br />& I want my prince <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Haha alright, I'll stop sounding like a retard now.

                <description><![CDATA[ <u>Figure skating (and a little bit of piano) news:</u><br />Yeah last journal about  my figure skating progress because the season ended 2 weeks ago and the rink is now closed. It could have been open though, it's actually snowing right now. IN SPRING o_o.<br /><br />But yes, two weeks ago on sunday there was this show where everyone showed their tricks and all but I wasn't in it because you had to practise on sunday and the rink isn't very close to our house and our parents didn't want to drive there twice a week. But I did watch it, it was funny x3 <br /><br />One girl, she's really good, did a solo performance and she skated on Comptine D'un Autre Ete L'apres Midi by Yann Tiersen, which is the song that I grew to love so much and that I'm currently playing on the piano! I made a vid when I'm playing it. The sound is kinda sucky but whatever. Please don't tell me that's it's not very good because I have never played the piano before this song <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><b>Video: <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v208/whrlwnd/?action=view&current=iano.flv">[link]</a></b><br /> <br />The day after the show we had to skate for our diploma's. Let me explain. You have A, B, C, D, E & F. There are 7 elements you have to show for every diploma. For the A diploma it's skating forwards, snowplow stop and all that. For B it's the lunge, spiral, skating backwards and such. It basically gets harder with every diploma. So yes, 7 elements and you can get a score of 0, 1, 1,5 or 2 for every element. So in total you could get 14 points. For A you had to get 7 points to recieve the diploma and 12,5 to try for B. I got 13,5 whoot! For B you had to recieve 8 points to recieve the diploma and 13 to try for C. I had 13,5 again! That reeeally amazed me because my best friend DID NOT! And I considered her better then me. I sorta suck at the lunge ( <a href="http://www.sk8stuff.com/f_recog/images/lunge_s.jpg">[link]</a> ) even though it's kinda easy. But I had a really high score so I went to try for C as well. But the trouble was that we hadn't really practised for C and there wasn't much time left so we had to do everything really quickly. I got 9 points for C which is the minimum for getting the diploma. The other 3 that were allowed to try for C got 9 points as well. 2 of them were my friends, we are always with the 5 of us but Judith (best friend) couldn't try out for C and the other friend got hurt during diploma A. She was stretching and fell. So sad. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br /><br />BUT I GOT A, B & C! Wheee! I'm all proud because  I can now train with the advanced group <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> But.. my best friend can't, that sucks <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But I'm still glad! The C diploma: <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/whrlwnd/IMG001-1.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br /><br /><u>Hamster news:</u><br />We have a new hamster, finally! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/whew.gif" width="25" height="17" alt=":phew:" title="Phew!" /> It's actually my sister's hamster but I get to cuddle it as well. At first I kinda hated the little thing because he (it's a male o_o) was aggresive and bit you.  And he made me miss my baby Jewel. But now I think he's fine. My sister is afraid to get him out of the cage though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /> His name is MUIS. Which means mouse in dutch. Haha my idea XD<br />The mouse (who is really a hamster) : <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v208/whrlwnd/?action=view&current=VID001-1.flv">[link]</a><br /><br /><u>School news:</u><br />School is crazy! Really, I'm so busy it's not even funny ;_; I had a few projects that I had to finish this week and I barely made it. I also had an important presentation tuesday evening. Here in Holland you have to do a really big project about a subject you can choose yourself. Me & Simone picked magazines. We even went to Cosmogirl to see how they worked on a magazine and we had an interview that was really fun. Everyone in our year had to do a project like that and we all had to do a presentation about it on the same day. There were a lot of tables and all the students had to stay behind them and explain stuff about your subject and there were A LOT of teachers and parents and just random people. Guess what? Simone and I were half an hour late <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> But luckily our mentor didn't notice it!<br /><br />Hmm I guess that was all? It feels like I have to tell a b... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If have been living under a stone or something because I only noticed all the stolen artwork on orkut.com today!<br /><br />It's amazing how many stolen pictures I saw, and all being ridiciously bad redrawn. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to journals about stolen art because my art doesn't get stolen that much. But I did found these:<br /><br />Stolen picture:<br /><a href="http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=1340760934319836964">[link]</a><br /><br />The original:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/72887726/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/f/2007/358/7/9/Winter_wonderland_by_whirl_wind.png" width="112" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Ripped off design:<br /><a href="http://www.orkut.com/Album.aspx?uid=1916456383395932006&aid=1">[link]</a> (note the markings on the third picture)<br /><br /><br />My fursona:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52502017/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs14/150/f/2007/095/1/2/Fursona_reference_by_whirl_wind.png" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span><br /><br />I sended both girls a message but I doubt if they even understand english. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hmm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":hmm:" title="hmm" /><br /><br />I'm just glad it's 1 picture and one design because I saw tons of <a href="http://boribaby.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/o/boribaby.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconboribaby:" title="boribaby"/></a> 's artwork as well as art from <a href="http://wrathofnessis.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/r/wrathofnessis.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwrathofnessis:" title="wrathofnessis"/></a> & <a href="http://ichycheshire.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/c/ichycheshire.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconichycheshire:" title="ichycheshire"/></a> . People are crazy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /><br /><br />I suggest that equine artists and especially spirit-style artists register and look for their stolen art. Most copycats join some kind of spirit community.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Favourite art for me:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/71997595/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs23/150/f/2007/346/e/c/Snow_Dance_by_Kimptone.png" width="150" height="119" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22970229/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/150/fs7.deviantart.com/i/2005/258/d/a/sunset_over_the_herdlands_by_swiftwhippet.png" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16734280/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs6/150/i/2005/090/d/9/__I_am_the_sky_king___by_Winzer.jpg" width="150" height="116" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>

But if I pick you, you have to do this too! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I picked the first 10 people who commented, sorry to the ones who commented after the first 10 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><b>Features:</b><br /><a href="http://anjiruookami.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anjiruookami.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanjiruookami:" title="anjiruookami"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/71782015/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/f/2007/343/3/f/Too_Quick_To_Judge_by_AnjiruOokami.png" width="83" height="150" /></a></span></span><br />Has a very diverse gallery, and sheÂs really good at canineÂs. She also has a comic named Blood Fire Chronicles. You should check it out! I picked out this picture because itÂs a horse, and I love horses Âobvisouly- This is a really unique angle and thereÂs a lot of movement in the picture. And those mane really rock!<br /><br /><a href="http://polly-pony-lauren.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/polly-pony-lauren.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpolly-pony-lauren:" title="polly-pony-lauren"/></a> Â <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/76278971/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs25/150/f/2008/033/9/7/Midnight_Chill_by_polly_pony_lauren.png" width="150" height="103" /></a></span></span><br />Has a pretty impressive gallery and a very unique style. I love the way she draws horse heads. She also has a very creative fursona, a half horse and lizard character! SheÂs not only good with cartoon style, but sheÂs also perfectly capable of doing realistic drawings, and pixel art. You should see the picture I picked out for yourself because itÂs really great <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://0paperwings0.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/0/p/0paperwings0.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icon0paperwings0:" title="0paperwings0"/></a> - <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57293726/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs16/150/f/2007/161/1/5/VHR___DWB_commission_by_0paperwings0.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span><br />She draws realistic horses, and sheÂs good at it! The wip pictures of her current project show a lot of details, and the finished picture is something to look out for! I picked out this picture because itÂs a dutch warmblood and it so happens I like those <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://kobbi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/o/kobbi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkobbi:" title="kobbi"/></a> Â <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/73345800/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs23/150/i/2007/364/6/5/Battle_of_the_Artists_by_kobbi.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><br />Has a very fun gallery with a lot of different horse breeds and colors. You should also look at the picture of her tattoo, itÂs awesome! The picture I picked to feature is one of the Norwegian horse, that used to be my favourite breed when I was little  ^^ She has done a great job of portraying this unique breed.<br /><br /><a href="http://amaris--miakoda.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/m/amaris--miakoda.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconamaris--miakoda:" title="amaris--miakoda"/></a> Â <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75230607/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs23/150/i/2008/021/4/c/For_Rachel_by_Amaris__Miakoda.png" width="150" height="99" /></a></span></span><br />My first watcher ever, that already deserves a look at her gallery! She doesnÂt only draw equines (and mostly unicorns) but also anime, check it out if your into it! She also has a sweet stamp of Kiara & Kovu in her gallery. (I <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> TLK) I featured a pixel picture of The Last Unicorn, itÂs really pretty.<br /><br /><a href="http://syberwolfs.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src... ]]></description>

It was something like, you are an unique person and then she said something about having lights in my mind (kinda weird, but hey it was a dream) and then she said you are just like Snow White from the Grimm fairytales. It so happens that I have that fairytale book and another one, equally big, with Andersen fairytales. I got those recently and I hadn't looked in any of the ones so I could not have known the story of Snow White was in the Grimm book. But when I checked when I woke up, it was!<br /><br />En when I was at school we did this game in our English(!) class, where you had to pick someone you know and describe him/her in english and then people had to guess who it was.

                <description><![CDATA[ Aaah it's driving me crazy, I want to go to Iceland SO SO badly. I have a strange obsession with it since I was like, 9? Maybe a little older. I think it is because of the book (my fav when I was little) I told you about before, 'Het vuurpaard' (in dutch) or 'Vildhesten' (the original title). It's about Icelandic horses and ever since I loved Icelandic horses. I even did one of my english speaking exams about them. But I also love Iceland itself very much, I did several presentations about it at school <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />So since many years it's a big wish of me to go to Iceland and everytime I learn more about it, I want to go there even more. Lately my wish is growing more stronger. Maybe because my sister read a book about Iceland and would like to go there as well, and maybe because it was on one of those travel series I always watch. Maybe even because of ~<a class="u" href="http://s-lilje.deviantart.com/">s-lilje</a> who is awesome and from Iceland XD I even have dreams about it, which is pretty awesome <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />My family likes to go there too but the only problem is that it is so very expensive. I try to convince them with my "but-there-are-so many-special-things-there-that-we-don't-have-to-go-on-another-holiday-for-years" argument but I don't think they are falling for it x3 <br /><br />I just really really want to go there <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />Did any of you girls ever went to Iceland?<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />Whirl<br /><br /><div class="holder"><br />Iceland<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14349234/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs6/150/i/2005/021/2/7/Icelandic_Pride_by_DiLaila.jpg" width="150" height="130" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62988395/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs21/150/f/2007/234/5/a/Iceland_5_by_lonelywolf2.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38652312/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs11/150/i/2006/237/f/c/Icelanders_by_severeene.jpg" width="150" height="102" /></a></span></span><br /><div class="ftlc"></div><div class="ftrc"></div><div class="fblc"></div><div class="fbrc"></div><br /></div><br /><br /> ]]></description>
