haha So I keep saying that I'm going to stop neglecting DA and come back on here. And then I lie. ]= I'm so sorry.
I do love you all!

Anyways, super quick update.

At the beginning of the year...
-house fell apart (ceiling caved in)
-flooded
-dog died
-new puppy
-stuff I don't remember

Hokay, so I am currently at VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) for the Summer Arts Intensive. 3 week program, been here for 2. I'm here for animation and I took glassblowing and glass casting and molding on the weekends.
I don't want to come to VCU, but it got me thinking about college a whole lot. I want to go to California, if at all possible. Pixar, please!
So now I've been trying horribly to build up my portfolio, and I think it's slowly working! I'm trying to start a collection of photographs I take, then I'm going to paint over them with acrylics. I'm excited!

And I think I actually have a few pieces of artwork to put up in the near future. (going to Europe in two weeks, I'll definitely have stuff after that!) so I think this time I may not be lying when I say I'm coming back!!

I think that's it for now. Sorry for leaving you all, I love you!


P.S. This is my room mate's page, please check it out. She's an amazing person and artist. =]

Heh sorry for clogging up your Deviations inbox.

So that was pretty much all my nature shots from before the cruise, I just posted a bunch of fun portraits of my cousins on Facebook if any of you want to see.

<3 Sorry again. >_>

Okay, guys. Long time no see, eh?

Anyways, back from the cruise. Oh, yeah. I was on a cruise.

haha Okay, well I just spent like 15 minutes writing a status update of my life. Then I realized it was really boring and no one would want to read that shit, so bye-bye.

Anyways, here's the real basics. ...that still turned out to be way more info than anyone needs or wants. Oh well. Deal with it.
.
All my friends, scattered between schools. All my new friends, 30 minutes away. So I'm stuck in a new half preppy, half gangster school with people who already made their group of friends and are not looking for new losers. I'm freaked out, but don't bother with consolation, everything works out in the end, I suppose. I'm just not looking forward to it.
Anyways, boyfriend == no more. In fact, dating my best friend. Scandalous, eh? -sigh- Sucks, but oh well.
Just got back from a cruise with the family. Cousins and all, good stuff. Lots of fun, shitty food.
Art...Uhm. Want to do it, too insecure. ...And poor. haha

Uhm. Well that turned out long and boring also. Fail. Anyways, I'm back, without much art, granted. So I'll just sit here and tell all of you how great you are.

So yeah... Fun stuff.

WTF happened to my icon? .___. I definitely didn't change it to that.

Dude, would someone just like. Hack my account.. And. Switch my icon?

wtf?

Uch, this was like a 3 minute extra credit English thing. It had to be able me. That's all. I didn't edit or process..so this is what you get.

Oh, I know I haven't answered anyone's messages in the past... Forever. And I AM SOOOOO SORRY. <333 I love you all and I feel terrible. I just.. don't.. wanna answer? I'm so sorry. But I probably just won't answer for a while.

You’ve seen the ocean.
Loud, lapping waves.
Each one rolls up
And again comes down.
This is how I see my life.
Each wave tries to pass
That mark in the sand
Left by the previous.
Wave.

I pretend.
I pretend not to pretend.
But in the end
It’s always a guise.
Pretend confidence
Pretend wildness
Pretend thoughtfulness
Pretend maturity.
Maybe it’s not all pretend.
But I’ll pretend it is.
For the sake of argument.

Are you following?
I bet you’re not.
Even I have trouble
Following my mind.
My thoughts.
I’ve learned.
Learned to let go.
I barely anymore try.
What need to understand?

Always being watched.
Act.
I’m aware.
And I know.
So I act.
Mysterious
Smart
Silly
Emotive
Because that’s how
I want to be seen.



I have no format.
Like the poem I write.
Unprepared.
Each line spills.
Out of my heart.
And unto you.
The judge.
There is no middleman.
Straight from my heart
To you.

This is what I see.
When I think of myself.
It’s a good thing
I look seldom.
