Crap, I go away for a while and they change everything again! So we have two Featured Deviation areas now? Ah well, it could have been a lot more confusing than this. So if anyone out there still cares and still remembers me, I'm here to say I have not forgotten dA; I have just not been in the best circumstances to be as involved here as I used to be. I have to try to do better on that, but it's really tough with all the hours I work. They just recently put me in charge of maintaining the men's dress shirt and tie department, too, so that's even more hours and more work. *sigh*

I'm still slowly but surely accumulating drawings in my manilla folder for when I get to use the scanner again (we need a new computer first). They are mostly my Care Bears and My Little Pony OCs, but I do have a few other things, too, such as a pic of Fritha and her sister Kelda and their kite that was supposed to be for but who knows when they'll get it now? I also have a halfway decent anthro cat/girl thing in there. It will be nice when I get to that stuff. It's an improvement over my old art and I find I'm not quite as enthusiastic about finishing the old art when I know I can do better now.

Oh, and on a completely random note, I finally got a copy of part 2 of the Ouran High School Host Club anime. It took me 3 months to find it, but a friend of mine from college who works at the FYE in the same mall where I work told me when they were getting a shipment in, and I went over there on my break and he found it for me! It even came with a calender, which I totally did not expect. This it absolutely my favorite anime now! (Sorry, Inuyasha... )

Ahem. Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I will try to at least get some photos I can upload, if I get to go anywhere good this summer. See ya later!

Hey, everybody! This is just a really fast update, just to let you all know I'm still not dead. I've just been veeeery busy and tired with work and Christmas and the post-Christmas deluge of returns, and now we're gearing up for inventory so it's like "Quick, we have to get all this clearence stuff out of here so we don't have to count it!!" And people are so dang messy that we can't find half the stuff anyway; it's under the tables or thrown on some rack in the wrong department, or it doesn't have tags on it so we don't know what the heck it is. I spent all day trying to match up and tag random winter gloves my supervisor had found all over the place - a whole bag full of them. *sigh* So, yeah, I haven't had much time or energy left over for dA, especially when I saw how many messages and deviations had accumulated. I had to just delete them all to save my sanity; sorry to anyone who was hoping for comments or replies or whatever. I'll try to do better in the future.

I have still been drawing some in my rare spare time and have accumulated several pieces I'm excited about finishing, but there's still the problem with having no scanner and a certain someone hogging the internet 24/7, so even that is on hold indefinitely. I'll have to fall back on some of my older, already-scanned stuff. Well, that's all for now. Hope your Christmases and Hannukahs (can't spell >.< ) and whatever else you celebrated were good and that 2009 brings you all joy! TTYL!

Okay, how come I still can't change the mood in my journal after all this time? Is anyone else still having this problem? Oh, well...I just wanted to pop in and let you all know I'm still alive and kicking. And drawing, too, though I'm having problems with getting to use the scanner these days. I'll probably be catching up on older stuff and submitting that for a while. Once I get back to the newer stuff (which will be old by then XD), hopefully I'll have more access to the scanner. I'm kind of excited because I have a few pretty decent (for me) pictures of humans, plus I've drawn a few more Care Bear Cousin OCs and have started on some My Little Ponies as well. They're coming out nicely, in my humble opinion. Yes, I'm on this whole 80's nostalgia kick. I might even put the DVDs of some of these shows on my Christmas list this year. I kinda miss them. And holy crap! the anime of Ouran High School Host Club is finally coming out on DVD the day after my birthday!! I can't wait!

Anyway, there's not too much interesting stuff to say about what's going on in my life, at least not stuff I'd share here. We are having some troubles in my family that are wearing us all out a bit, but everyone has that to some extent. The only thing is I managed to get a job, but it's not what I wanted. Just a regular mall retail job that a friend helped me get. I do hope I'll get into the libraries someday, but I guess it's going to take a while. I haven't started yet, but I'm really nervous; as a rather quiet and shy person, I'm worried about how badly I could mess this up. T_T Ugh...if anyone out there prays, I'd really appreciate it if you said a little one for me.

Now what else? I want to end on a happy note, so I just wanna ask if anyone out there likes corn mazes? They are so much fun! Last weekend, I went to one with my parents and we got so lost! But we managed to get out again, even without the use of a map. My mom was especially proud since she suggested most of the paths we took. She was whooping with joy; it was so funny! And it was so pretty and fall-ish out in that field. My mom took beautiful pictures of the pumpkins with the light of the sunset on them. She takes tons of lovely photos; I always say she could've been a photographer or an art teacher if she hadn't become a mom first. I'm considering making a special folder for her in my gallery and submitting some of her photos into it so she can get comments on them, since she doesn't use the computer and it wouldn't make much sense for her to get her own account. What do you all think, hm?

Well, I think that does it for this month. LOL I would like to thank everyone who has faved or commented on my art these past few months, and those who have watched me; I'm so grateful for your interest in my little doodles. I have a bit of art to upload now (finally!), so until next time, take care!

Well, today was the first sunny day we've had around here in quite a while! It's been all cloudy and gloomy for like over a week, but yesterday and Monday were pretty interesting because we had SEVERE bad weather. Monday was the day of my first concert with the summer wind ensemble, and I was torn over whether to go or not because we had a scattered thunderstorm warning all over the northeast. I had been hearing thunder in the distance all day. The main problem was that the concert was going to be in for the 4th of July celebration in Independence Park in Bristol, right next to the ocean, just where you don't want to be when lighting strikes, and because if my clarinet got wet it would be ruined (it's wooden and really expensive). In the end I decided to go anyway, and luckily no lightning struck us, but it did rain quite a lot. Oddly enough, it had been clear for a while, but it started pouring again exactly when we began to play! We had a tent over the stage, but there was nothing but trees to protect the audience. In spite of that, the whole audience stuck around through the entire thing. They were sitting there in their lawn chairs with raincoats and umbrellas! That's dedication for you, huh? Those Bristolians sure love the 4th of July.

Yesterday, there was a huge hailstorm, too! Once I finished running around the house and closing all the windows to keep the water out (and I wasn't entirely successful, either ), I just had to stop and watch it because it was kind of cool! I had never seen an actual hailstorm before. It didn't last too long, but it did make a mess: some of our shingles broke off, there are dents in our fence and siding that look like someone shot at them with a BB gun, and there were small tree branches and leaves all over the lawn and stuck to the house. Also, all of my neighbor's floodlights got broken. After the storm, my mom and I went out and picked up some of the biggest hailstones we could find and put them in the freezer. They're about the size of quarters.

I did take a really short video of the hail falling outside my bedroom window towards the end. I might post it on Youtube sometime if I can figure out how. Maybe no one will care about the crazy weather, but it seemed interesting to me. Yup, that's New England for you.

Yay, I don't have no life! Or...whatever. At least not as far as movies go. I didn't count the ones where I'd only seen a couple of scenes, just the ones I've seen all the way through. So anyway, I need to try to finish more art. And post my photos from last summer, because I just went through my camera's memory card recently and I think some of them came out well. Hopefully that will be coming soon. I won't tag anyone for the quiz, just feel free to do it if you want to. Later!
