Judging by how good of a birthday I had, it better be a good one. Keith got me a giant stuffed penguin and we watched a movie together (and he didn't eat all the popcorn this time
(if the pictures would ever email themselves to me, I'd post them in my scraps. Keep an eye out for them)

Hey you!
I'm only a few day away from my finals.
But I thought I'd drop you a few lines.
I'll try to answer the messages soon.
And...I looked into your scraps...I love the pictures about the cats!
They are adorable ^^

I'm doing my finals today, tomorrow, and Friday. 2 of them are comprehensive
I need to respond to your other message too. I remember you mentioning The Great Gatsby in one of the parts. I finally saw the trailer; it was awesome
I love taking pics of my kitties

Happy Birthday in a couple if I don't make it on here the day of!
I swear I'm getting to those replies >.< You know how it is lol

Thank you (and thanks for the birthday note too
I'm a patient person^^ I actually had a long weekend, so I'm going to be quite behind with work and all. I really need to study today anyway, so take all the time you need^~^

Thank you for the llama, and double thank you for enjoying my highly amateur writing ^_^

No problem^^ And you're a good writer to be making a later start. Keep it up and you might be famous one day^^

I try my best, while trying not to be hokey 
To be fair, I've done a fair bit of documentation and technical writing for work in the past. It's only the past few months I took to writing things people would read without being paid to do so!
π: 0 β©: 1
I've always liked the idea of ghost writing too. I'm not one of those confident, social butterfly people that can easily accept fame. If I ever did become famous, I'd probably use my money to buy a piece of property in the middle of nowhere that I could hide on for the rest of my life
I'm currently an English major in college, and professional writing is probably going to be the track I switch to. I've always enjoyed creative writing, but I like office-type documents too. And they always say to do what you love, so I might as well try. Who knows? We both might be writing creative pieces people pay for within a few years. You never know^^

Same here, I just do not have the personality type that thrives on constant attention and certainly want no idol worship. I thought the same, accept I probably wouldn't even be rich because I spent all my money helping various animal groups... money, it can do good things but.. psh money..
That is very cool, and don't forget all is DAs when you get famous!
Thank you again for all your kind words and encouragement. Very much means a lot.

I hate attention actually. I don't like being that person everyone dotes on, especially if I know it might make others feel bad. Just because I can do something doesn't mean everyone else can, and I think people should be fair. On the money front, I agree with you. My mom's plan for if we win the lottery is to make this awesome shelter property for animals, which would take tons of money. We'd probably blow all of the winnings then have to rely on donations. We'd be just as happy right now with the ones we do help and with just enough to get by with a few luxuries. That's really all anyone needs, but some just want more (and it is okay to dream^^).
I don't think anyone should forget where they came from, or the people who helped you get somewhere. I hope we all end up famous, not just me. It'd be so cool to have like a rich authors block in some gorgeous city where all the residents came from dA and still go there to encourage the rising writers. Oh that'd be so fun
You're welcome. Thank you for your kind words too

Same here. I'm not totally uncomfortable with attention, but I certainly feel more at ease when eyes and minds are not on me.
Sounds a lot like me, most people win the lottery and become broke because of their ignorant spending. Me, I'd be broke because I donated it all, helped out some animals and then forgot to leave some for me >.<
Oh, you don't know how great that would be. Modern day bohemian community. dA has such a great atmosphere, with so much good energy and support. I think that would translate well to a community of people.
As always you are welcome and thank you!

Same here. It even shows up in my driving: I hate people being behind me. I don't know why: Most people could care less what you're doing behind the wheel, if you're driving safely. But whether they're pretty much in my backseat or a good ways back, I want them gone. Now. I've gotten better since I started driving in a bigger city, but I still like my little holes in the wall. That's why I take a state route to get to and from the highway: No one else takes it
That'd be us^^ We already spend too much spoiling our animals, and I can't imagine what we'd do if we started spoiling everyone else's. I think my mom even uses this donation thing that comes out of her paycheck for animals (though she might still be doing the breast cancer awareness one. There's a long list of charities to help out, and she has a lot that she'd like to send to, whether we have the money or not).
dA is quite supportive. Some of the forums can be a little sketchy for the sensitive, but the site as a whole is so nice. I've met so many great people, and from all over the world. I have a good friend in Germany and another in Israel. I never would've met them without dA (and been able to stay in contact with them. Communications are so easy here). It's a great site, and I'm really glad I found it.

Haha, I don't so much care about people's attention on me while driving, but most people are far from driving safely (at least around my neck of the woods). I want everybody to be away from me on the road because they drive like the hole of a donkey.
dA is fantastic... never really went to the forums here unless there was site issues at the time. Heh, forums can be sketchy anywhere. At it's worst, this place is no Youtube >.< Reading stuff there just makes me sad. Same with me. It is cool to be able to connect, get feedback, get inspiration. Oddly enough it was just a little online game that got me here years ago when one of the people that played there was sharing some of their digital works that just happened to be here. So many years later when I decide to pick up a camera, this was the first place I thought to go!

"hole of a donkey" 
That's a big part of it, actually. Usually when people are behind me, no matter what speed I'm going, they want to ride right in my backseat almost. I'll be going 80 in a 70 MPH zone on the highway, and I still get pricks so close to me that I can't see their entire hood-zone area. I could really use a fart button on my car. That'd show 'um
YouTube is a place I rarely venture to anymore. I don't have the time anyway, but the comments there can be worse than childish. I wonder how some of those people manage to survive through daily life since it's obvious they have no control over themselves, especially not enough to remember to breathe and eat and bathe. The forums here are pretty good, but you get some morons, trolls, etc. They can be a sketchy place sometimes, just like anywhere, but I like them. It keeps my mind off things.
My friends were on dA when I was in high school, so I gave one my information and she made me an account. I didn't have internet access at home, and it was blocked at school, so I didn't get into the place until college...and then I was addicted. My friends from fanfiction.net had accounts here (that's how I met my friend from Israel), so I've maintained contact with them all. I rarely go to fanfiction.net anymore, and my first account here is nearly dead, but this account does alright. If I weren't so wrapped up with school, I'd submit more and probably have more traffic, but I don't mind. I'm working on an awesome novel-length piece right now, so the short story generator in me isn't working right now (I never, ever post novel-like stuff here. Some long fanfics, maybe, but NEVER what I want to publish. Just no). I'll get back on the wagon soon...maybe. School can be so draining, and that novel is nowhere near finished yet.

I try to be polite when possible, even works out most times!
That is exactly it! The kicker is when you are going down the road and someone does that to you. Then not sixty seconds later you pull up to them behind or besides at the stop light. Congratulations! You won the race... now you get to wait longer. >.<
You just summed up YouTube to me much better than I could put right now. There are great creative people who make content... but I just ignore everything else but the video I am watching.
Cannot agree more on putting novel stuff here. I may put short stories that are kind of... testing the waters of where I want to go eventually. Anything super cereal will be much more private until I need people to go over it and get ideas for re-writes. Good luck with the novel stuff! If you ever need someone to go over parts of it, and will not steal your ideas... >.< I would be more than happy too.
School, very much draining. I am going to take a wild guess and say you are a bit like me in school environments. You go into it with so much more understanding and zeal that you surpass those around you and THEN you get to be the person who helps everybody else along. Draining indeed...
Something I learned about myself, and thankfully there are just a metric ton of resources for anybody who wants to learn something these days... I learn better on my own haha. I've learned more about photography in a month than some people get in a year of school for it. Bonus is that tuition is the cost of internet connection. ^_^

I'd say I try to be polite, but not 15 minutes ago I was flipping someone off, so.... I usually try to be polite, but a few people have just thrown me over the edge (this guy didn't see I was already on someone else's bumper and that someone else was to my left. Just because it's merge time doesn't mean you should take everyone out
Ooh, I have the funniest story about those speedies (not the one from the previous paragraph. I forgot to read ahead, and I rather like my last paragraph. Helped me vent a little^^). Last week, this guy came barreling up behind me. It's 6 o'clock traffic and I'm in the fast lane going the speed limit because there's so many people. He gets pissed and passes me to the right. 1) That's not right in the first place. 2) A really slow car was there, which is why so many of us that would typically be in the right lane were in the left. So what happens? He has to wait for us to pass him before he can go around
I hit up the comments every now and then, but usually only valid arguments from people. You can find some smart commentors there, but your method tends to work the best, especially with the sillier videos.
I've even password protected some of my documents at home
I used to be, but I do my best to keep to myself. I'm actually not as smart as people think I am, but because I actually use my brain, I tend to fare better than my peers. As long as that stays a secret, I tend to be okay. As soon as people realize how smart I am, it sometimes goes downhill. I've been lucky so far, only having to help some people with citations in one of my first English classes, but middle and high school treated me badly. They sniffed out my "smartness" and nailed me for it, trying to use me to cheat then getting mad when I wouldn't tell them an exact answer (page numbers only. They can read for themselves). I'm so glad that's over.
I've been a little depressed lately at all the things I feel like I'm missing because I'm in school. I really want to read all of Dante's pieces, not just Inferno. Because of school, I dedicate my brain to only reading school-related material (my memory is quite good, unless it's overloaded with crap). I used to read so much, sometimes 4 novels a week, but now I'm too busy to read a 12-book series, all of which are maybe 150 pages tops (which I could clear in an hour or two without interruption, 3 or 4 with). I want to learn another language too, without school's help (they never have German when I need it. It looks like I'll have to take French when the time comes because I am NOT doing Spanish again

Oh I do my fair share of behind the wheel rage with these idiots. People on cell phones who cut me off get my verbal wrath, not that they are even paying attention in the first place >.< I've always wanted to just get a big bull horn to bitch about peoples driving to them, or maybe a scrolling marquee LED thing to let them know.
...[link] .... Humans are weird, and so is traffic. lol personally if I don't die getting to a place, I would rather that then early but dead.
Hmmm I dont password protect my docs, but it might be a good idea for me to set up an encrypted part of my harddrive with a password to store intellectual property. You put other valuables under key right? I would love in the trust and honor of people not to steal others work and claim as their own... yeah I couldn't finish that one with a straight face either
I feel you. What I am trying to make my former life (IT work) is still what pays my bills. So I am trying to bust arse to get creative rolling as a career, while working full time. Often in a lead postion >.< Life lesson... some people can be 50 years old and still act like a high school kid.
That really sucks though, and I hope you can get some time back to yourself in the near future. I tell you what, there is some benefits to this modern worlds. Being on both ends of hiring for jobs, it is becoming less and less important HOW you know what you know but that you DO know what you know and can demonstrate it. I've seen jobs that had 4 year collage requirements be filled by people who got tired or couldn't afford college and just started doing something! Kind of how I am. No college for technology, but I know more than college grads. Same with photos. Just started shooting and learning. Now apparently I am a great photographer if I am to believe what everyone says.

Yeah, we're definitely the same person. Not only do I want a fart button for those ass-kissers, I would love to make my in-the-car rantings public somehow, preferably with some kind of scrolling display. Today, for instance, I wanted to go "Nice job, dumbass
I think YouTube is mad that I haven't been on in a while. It's not even attempting to load, but the comments looked interesting. You gotta love trolls and asswipes^^ I'm super surprised that I've never had an accident considering the crap I drive through. My favorite comment to other drivers is "Well just take out the little children [insert profane word of the week, which was recently asshat^^]". People are using their cars as weapons, and I really hope they don't hit mine. He has so many miles on him now. Any stopping him now would just be wrong.
I protected one because it was really erotic and I didn't want my mom to find it (she never gets on my computers, but with the smut I had in that thing, it needed it anyway
Oh the piece wasn't funny
Making a living out of creative work is a lot harder now days, since so many people are trying to do it. The ones who do make it seem to have some divine intervention come into play, otherwise they'd still be on the street or wherever they were before. I imagine I'll have a day job eventually (my current day job is school
I haven't even attempted to get a job yet (I need to. My savings is dwindling, and while i have a year or so left, what if something happens? We aren't the richest people, and I've been saving that money for years now). But I think the market is changing again. College education is getting a little harder to get, and so expensive. I think it's going back to the whole "demonstrate the knowledge, you'll get the job." People need money, and if an employee can still do the job, why not hire them? Besides, it's who you know over what you know no matter what time period you analyze. If you know someone and they know how talented you are, you might get a good job out of the deal. This explains why my uncle, who refuses to finish his degree, picked career over education: His business started after his first job showed him an opportunity, and now it's successful with another spin-off. No extra education required.
I'm not through with my English major and I already write better and edit better than the textbook companies we're using (my lit book has a HUGE mistake in its version of Antigone: They mixed up lines of two characters. I noticed it immediately; why didn't they?). People tell me I write well, so I could probably do a writing job right now, as-is. I don't know about your other skills, but you are a great photographer. You could probably sell prints to a gallery or something and do well with it (unless you live in an anti-art town or a town with too much art. That whole demand thing makes a big difference), without going to an actual photography school. People used to be self-taught in the past anyway, so it might as well work that way today. It'd make things a little easier with things being like they are. Currently I'd be a bag girl somewhere, but if I find the right opportunity, the possibilities are endless.

Hello, I see you've followed me. I can't say that I'm going to be very active, but thank you regardless.

No problem. I'm actually ~DarkAngelSnapeLover and I'm trying to keep up with my old friends again. Judging by your journals, I wish I'd done this sooner. I hope things get better for you
(And I'm not that active either. I only have the internet 2 days a week, so it's hard to keep up with everything. And with college enjoying making me feel stressed and bombarded, I mainly come on here for stress relief)
