Well well well, look at what DA has done. It's decided to let us none membership users to try out journal skins for a little while. But of course it's just to let us get a taste and want more when they take it away. It's an advertisement deal! I know it is!!

But oh well, I digress.

Haha, I'm using a header! XD *cough* Business:


I actually do needed to update my journal for more reasons than just to try out the enw skin and to let DA know that I know their evil little plan.
Interesting news wise, I have almost nothing to talk about. No gossip here. But I am currently in a beginners art class and have been doing more art work lately, so maybe one of these days I'll hook up my scanner again and indulge you all in my original works. I'm sure you are all getting quite tired of my stupid pictures. DX

You know what I need to do? Become un-lazy. I'm significantly lazy these days. Sure, I want to some more art projects, but I jsut never get around to it. I'm always on a confounded computer. *sigh of defeat* But alas, I am the only one who can truly change that, so maybe I'll pull myself together and get some things done in the months to come.

Wish me luck!

So I finally got through all of my backed up Deviations from the billion people that I watch and I was looking over my profile to see if I needed to do anything. I just got done submitting two new deviations and something finally sunk in. There was something different about some of my information at the top of the page. I looked and I looked for a long moment and finally I realized that the number of years I have been on DA had changed from two to three years. I was baffled. Really? I thought it was later in the year when I joined.... I finally found out that my DA birthday was the nineteenth of June, last month. I wanted to kick myself for not realizing it sooner so I could celebrate more appropriately, but I think I'll just settle with a proud smile.
Sure, I suppose I could have been more active in these three years and worked harder at expanding my skills, but I'm happy with where I'm at in my artistic "age". I could have fished around for my page views, but that's not what really matters, I suppose. It's more about just enjoying yourself in the art that you make, no matter what it is. Who cares how good you are? Is there really a concrete way to judge how good or bad a person is? I don't really think so.... it's more about how well a person expresses a thought, image, or feeling through their art. Some people may be better at doing this in a more eye-pleasing manner than others, but that's just fluff anyway.
I guess I'm just trying to say thanks to everyone who has ever favorited or commented on a piece of mine because, no matter how many times I say it I'll always truly mean it, thanks so much for what you've done. You're support helps keep my confidence high enough to push me to stay on here and to continue to try to make myself better, however slowly I'm moving.
Thanks for a wonderful three years here and I hope to have many more and even more blissful years here to share with you all.

Hello all of you!

Ah, aren't you all glad Spring is here? I know I am! Everyday I notice more and more green things popping up and other colorful flowers. I love it! And another bonus is that I don't really have allergies, so I don't have to worry about all those annoying sneezes and snotty rags to carry around. Haha.
And another good thing is that I have plenty of photo opertunities! Bu of course you guys already knew that because I've been flooding your message boxes with my silly photos. lol.

But, I do have some bad news. Over the next few months, untill about the beginning of summer, I'll be in the process of moving. To some of you, I'm sure you're thinking, "Oh that's great! New oppertunities!" And yeah, I agree, all sorts of new things are going to happen, but I've never changed schools before....I guess I'm a little scared about that.
Anyway, I'll be moving so, maybe not right away, I might not be as active on here. I can't be for sure. It may be a month or two before you notice any change in my activity, but I'm giving you a heads up.

Well, I've said all I really wanted to say, besides thanks to all the new watchers I have and to everyone for looking at my art! I really really appreciate it- it makes me feels more confident.

Have a great day, week, month, year!

TAGGED!!!!!!

So, I obviously acquired a new digital camera for Christmas and have been abusing it like mad. I know I've taken over two hundred (or more!) pictures already of all sorts of things. But I think I'm only going to post my favorites on here (and give all the crappy ones to Facebook XD).
I bet you guys didn't know I could abuse so many Medias, huh? Poetry, literature, drawing, photography...I even made my own stamp once out of tile (I'll have to take a picture of it someday)! Perhaps one day, though, I'll master one of them and get recognized.
You know, whoever is reading this, feel free to tell someone about something of mine you like...I need the "publicity". Though with all the attention I got recently, I don't think I could be famous...I'd hate it- too many people noticing the make-up that hides your true inner beauty.
Yeah, I'm one of those people who believe in inner-beauty. But only because I can now aw I've lived on both sides of the popularity line. Since I'm a "band nerd" I don't really get noticed very much though I used to be best friends with the "popular" girls before there was such thing as cliques...Anyway, I'm not quite completely unnoticed. I mean, I make an effort to make at least acquaintances with other people outside of my group, so people know who I am (which isn't hard in this small school). But this last Friday (yesterday) I got to live a day on the "popular" side of things... You know Homecoming at school? Well, think of that, but instead of football being the focus, it's basket-ball- That's Color's Day. So I was voted in as one of the Color's Day "maids"(but only because I told everyone to vote for me). To make things short, I got in with one of my best friends who's a basket-ball player, herself. I had some of the "popular" girls who were once my good friends and are still reliable fix me up.
It was so strange having those "popular" guys look at me and say, "Damn, [insert my name here], lookin' good!" It made me feel good to have all those people say I was beautiful and smile at me, but they were only looking at the make-up and hair-spray. They weren't seeing the real, everyday, true me.
Yeah, it was nice to be in the spot-light for once...Every girl's dream, but I wouldn't do it again. Not because of the stress, but because I was fake...I was just a Barbie doll...

Wow, how did I get off to that....Sorry for rambling...But I hope to see some more watchers soon...I'd like to hear some more of your guys' thoughts too. Let me know someone is actually looking in on me.

Peace out, stay yourself,

Rose
