    Happy birthday to me FTW!!?? 8D No, seriously. I'm now at the ripe old age of twenty years old today. Crazy, isn't it? I totally don't feel two decades old. Two decades old... I'm not a teenager anymore! I can't get away with anything anymore! Where have I put my keys again? I've thrown my back out. You're going to have to speak up, dearie, I don't have my hearing aid in.

    But the real reason for this journal was a useless shout out to my bff Sara (~aluinn) because she FRIGGIN' GOT MARRIED TODAY FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY WEDDING DAY, SARA!!!

    And that's it. I've got some sort of bad news I feel I need to admit to you few and proud who keep up with my journals, but not today. Eat cake and be merry today, pplz. Love, cake, cookies and other pastries of your choice.

    By the way-- how's everyone taking DeviantART V6? I've come to realize a lot of people took it as an unwelcome shock and can't stand it, but I think it's pretty... slick. (: A few little quirks here and there that I don't like notwithstanding, I don't mind it. What do you think?

    Simply for updating purposes. I got nothin' to say, except that working SUCKS. D8 lol Remember when I asked what the "hardlines" are in retail? Well, I started working last weekend and it SUCKS. XDD But it's good for me. Makes me look forward to school again, and makes me appreciate how much I actually enjoy learning in full. Adulthood's going to be hard! :giggle: :roll:

    I hope everyone's enjoying their summers, or at least looking forward to the end of school. =D That is all. Perhaps more later.

    Just a quick update here because I want to ask you guys a couple of questions. =D Firstly, do any of you lovely little intelligent artists know what working the "hardlines" is? I've been offered a job at "Targét" (Target x3) and it's a position in what the clerk said was the "hardlines," and I was like "Okay!" but thinking "whut?" So I turn to you.

    I'm also seeking out pictures of animals. I've been invited into a project of a friend of mine to illustrate characters, and he wants them to be a hybrid of humans and creatures. Otherwise it can be anything. I've decided to stay strictly away from popular animals to mesh with humans (canines, felines, birds, horses, etc), and trying to find interesting-looking animals that you wouldn't automatically think about. Like, I drew one who was half woman and half Lion Fish, which had a cool effect. So I'd love it if any of you could suggest a lesser-known or lesser-loved animal I could use. :)

    OMG, speaking of half-human-half-animal characters, I came across a LiveJournal entry by accident and found a refrence to DA and my Kaydence Aspen deviation. The entry itself remonstrates that DA celebrates "bad art," or promotes blanket praise and no critique, or whatever, and my tiny little contest entry was chosen to sneer at by a responder. I quote:

    "Ugh, a furry:
    [link provided to the deviation]
    (admittedly, one of the better ones, but it still brings a groan and a grimace)    "
    [link]

    A groan and a grimace? I could cry! :cries: I don't even draw furries. What the hell even IS a furry? Is Kaydence a furry? I thought she was an anthro!? Is there a difference? :O I don't want to feel guilty for drawing Kaydence! Phooey.

    I rebuff this contention that DeviantART doesn't cultivate a supportive and challenging environment for artists. I know I've grown perceptibly my three years or so here, as I'm sure a lot of you can agree with, and it was because I was exposed to other artists and because of critiques. Truthfully, I'll admit here and now that I'm not the best at recieving critiques, but I've recieved it whether I like it or not, and more often than not I've needed it. And I've recieved critiques here. For a long time this was virtually the only place I recieved feedback. And I've managed to grow from it. DeviantART can't enforce manditory critiques, and it can't make it manditory for someone to accept critiques or not. And it can't referee how many people like a deviation or a deviant, even if in this guy's eyes it's "bad art." It's the same way in art school, and in the art world, and this guy can't assume art school somehow beats people into accepting critiques. Some people just won't, and it'll effect their art accordingly, and people will either like it or they won't. It truly isn't his problem. If you don't like the stuff on DeviantART, don't come to the site.

    ^^; I'm sorry. I needed to vent.

    <EDIT:

    I just needed to thank all of you for your comments on this matter. :hug: This was just insanely frustrating, and all of you were really sweet about it. I'm over it now--if he wants to feel big by belittling people's art, he can continue being a very small person. That's his business. It's not my audience I'm drawing for-- it's me. And I'm just lucky enough to have people like what I do, and like it enough to support me and help me grow through critiques, not by slapping it to the ground and saying it'll never be good. I need to remember it's friends like you guys I trust. Thank you.

    Ahaha, thank you, too, for giving me a few ideas on what animals I can use! They're all awesome. =D Unfortunately, my friend has put the project on hold and now I'm working on something else with him, but I think I'll be drawing those characters anyway just because these animals are wicked, people. Wicked!

    EDIT:

    Wow, I cannot get over it. You guuuys. :heart:
    OMG! A Daily Deviation? I couldn't be happier! OMG! OMG! I never thought I'd ever get one! =D THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME AND VISITED and *OMG* WATCHED ME! I'll be getting to everyone's comments as soon as I can. A great big thank you particularly to =Pixel-Spotlight, who suggested it! Wow. Okay, stick a fork in me: I'm done. :giggle: Acceptance and scholarhip to SVA, plus DD???? My life, it's fulfilled! :excited:

    My Daily Deviation!! I'm SO GLAD you guys like it! :deviation:


    </EDIT>

    I GOT A LETTER FROM SVA YESTERDAY...

    As a matter of fact, I'd left for a job interview when my mother checked the mailbox and saw that it was there. When I came home she and my sister were standing outside waiting for me to open it. When I pulled up and opened the car door and realized what it was, there was a wondering silence as to whether this was the letter, and we were all half convinced it was "here's the information you asked about SVA five months ago!"

    Because I was too UNBELIEVABLYSPAZZTASTIC even then, my mother opened it.

    LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NOT ONLY AM I ACCEPTED TO SVA, THEY ARE GIVING ME A SCHOLARSHIP OF $12,500 FOR THREE YEARS.

    :O

    Hence the title, OMFGSPAZZDIESEIZURE.

    And this totally isn't an April Fool's Joke.
    Although the mudkips are hilarious.

    EDIT:
    Just a quick update for you RPers out there--a friend of mine, *gazzi-the-great, is in the process of setting up an RPG forum about early Native Americans and English settlers. She's now looking for people to fill characters for "leaders" of the settlers and a couple of indian tribes, and I thought maybe some of you might be interested in it. Go check out her journal, and if you'd like to talk to her about it send her a note and leave a comment. :) I'm sure she'd love to hear from you.
    </Edit>

    OMFG. I sent my portfolio to SVA. I'm going to freaking die now. Don't try to stop me; it's worthless. The anicipation's maddening!! :O

    Well, I had a bunch of stuff to tell you, but it's all somehow escaped me now. >_> Oh well.
    I need some pick-up lines. Not for dates--for jobs. What kind of magical thing do you have to do or say to land some kind of decent employment?

    Anyway, ~anya1916 tagged me with a quiz that will pad this journal where my thoughts for the entry failed me completely. =P I'm going to be reproached for posting this, because my father's not happy when he sees me giving out "personal information." So all you craptastic sex predators that take advantage of me whenver I post quizzes like this--I'm so on to you now. :paranoid:

    _________________________________________________________________


    1. Who was the last person of the opposite sex you had a conversation with?
    Ppshh Oh my gods, I guess my cousin.

    2. Where is the last place you went out to eat?
    At a mexican restaurant!

    3. What was the last beverage you consumed?
    Water. Ha I know, so exotic.

    4. Thoughts at this moment?
    You know, you get a question like that, and you completely blank out in mere seconds. :XD: It’s like “Quick! Think of something insightful and thought-provoking to casually jot down so you can seem more brilliant than you are!” At this moment… I think I need to lose weight. :laughing:

    5. Do you bite your lips a lot?
    I wet my lips a lot, but not so much bite them. When they’re chapped, sometimes I bite them. :roll:

    6. Wheres the question?
    Where’s the apostrophe?

    7. Medical, fine arts, or law?
    Fine arts is certainly the lesser of the three evils.

    8. What do you want?
    All of you should know that by now. A few things vaguely to do with 2D animation…

    9. Best kind of pizza?
    Any kind of pizza if you only eat it on special occassions.

    10. Favorite drink?
    Gonna’ have to be Dr. Pepper. :XD: It’s pure sugar and a one-way ticket to diabetes, but oh…

    11. Do you miss anyone?
    The bugger who’s going to get after me for doing this quiz, and others.

    12. What were you doing at 11:59 PM on Friday night?
    I was totally watching that old television sitcom “I Love Lucy” on DVD and eating ice cream with my favorite posse!!

    13. What's a lyric from the song you can hear?
    “Remembering times much younger than me now; when my breath was light, when the world raised me up kind, and here mother comforts child; every moment was waking up, but now I’ve grown tired out.” –Dave Matthew’s Band, If I Had It All

    14. Besides your own, who's room were you in last?
    =P My sister’s, ‘cause I was talking to her.

    15. What should you be doing?
    A number of things.

    16. Can you speak another language?
    Je ne parle pas le français, je sais sans question.

    17. What are you going to do tomorrow?
    I’ll be playing it by ear—I need to hear back from some people on exactly what they want to do.

    18. What are you doing on the weekend?
    Hopefully work on some drawings, catch up with everything on DeviantART, and probably other stuff.

    19. Who was the last band you saw live?
    :giggle: I have seen no bands live.

    20. What are you waiting for?
    To hear back from SVA on whether I was accepted or… *shriek* not.

    21. Do you take care of your friends while they're sick ?
    I hate to say it, but no. :lol: Sometimes I’ll bring stuff to my sister.

    22. Do you like to read?
    Love it.

    23. How do you feel about your first love?
    I’m pursuing it as a career.

    24. Where is somewhere you have always wanted to share a kiss with a significant other?
    I’ve never thought about it, actually. Almost seems like that would depend on what they guy is like.

    25. Favorite colors?
    When I was little, I always said my favorite color was green, but nowadays I like colors in general. It depends on what I’m going for, I guess. Like, I wouldn’t paint my room green or anything. @__@

    26. Who is your favorite person to have a serious conversation with?
    Either my sister or mother.

    28. Where did you go today?
    Should have been tagged with this last weekend—I went to a million different places then, but this week I sort of just hung around the house a veged. SPRING BREAK YESPLZ. I looked for jobs, too. noplz.

    29. What's the next book you will read?
    Eee Someone I think I’m entitled to call a friend just gave me a great list of book suggestions, so one of those. So excited—I’ve needed a new book.

    30. Where do you want to go right now?
    The moon.

    31. What's your next concert?
    Who thinks I’ve got that kind of money lying around to buy tickets to a concert?? :O

    32. What are you wearing?
    A gray T-shirt that has my college’s name on it, brown pants, and a leather bracelet my mom got me last weekend.

    33. What brand of digital camera do you own?
    I don’t know, the damn thing’s never at home. xD My mom takes it to her classroom too often for me to get a chance to use it.

    34. What do you think about people who party a lot?
    They scare the crap out of me.

    35. Are you bored?
    Almost.

    36. When is your birthday?
    July 19th! :cake:

    37. What's your favorite song?
    That changes around a lot. Right now I love Petit Poulet by Sinead O’Connor, Crush by Dave Matthews’s band, and Amen by Paula Cole.

    38. Who gave you your last compliment?
    Must have been *FireflyStudios, I guess, since she featured Kaydence Aspen on her journal. :)

    39. Who/what last made you smile?
    Haha I guess I smiled when I wrote something funny in an email. Yes, I laughed at my own joke omg.

    40. What was the last CD you bought?
    Holy crap, I don’t even remember. It must have been over Christmas when I bought my dad Paula Cole’s Greatest Hits album. O.o That was a while ago. Alanis Morissette’s new album comes out in April, though!! :excited:

    41. Have you ever been offered a job?
    I’ve been offered commissions and accepted commissions, but in the way of actually working a cash register and clocking my hours, I’m still a pimple on society’s face.

    42. Have you ever stolen anything from the road?
    Not necessarily, no. I almost stole a “right lane closed ahead” sign from the street, but it didn’t work, and I’ve never driven up to someone’s house and taken something sitting on the curb. I’ve picked up little trinkets off the ground that people have lost, though. I don’t know if that’s the same thing.

    43. How many peircings do you have?
    Nothing. Not even my ears. =P

    44. Do you have any tattoos?
    I just can’t help thinking of how disgusting the tattoo would be when I’m eighty and I’ve got a heart in the folds of my wrinkles somewhere… :lmao:

    45. How many speeding tickets have you gotten?
    None at all! I’m working to keep it that way.

    46. How many kids do you want to have?
    Lately I’ve been considering adoption when I’m ready to support children. Population is so out of control now, and I’d like to help kids who are already here and need parents.

    47. Do you like coffee?
    I wouldn’t be awake right now if I hadn’t had some this morning.

    48. What are you looking forward to?
    Next year. I’m so ready to be someplace new, even if it’s not in New York.

    49. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
    A guy from my British Literature class, because he wanted to know when our group was going to meet to discuss the vile presentation we have to give next week to the class.

    50. Who was the last person you danced with?
    With my sister. We were in a store and we danced to the awful elevator music they were playing. :giggle:
