So I realized recently that I have't updated my DA in a very long time! So I thought I'd type a little something to update my wonderful DA family on life, love, and ART! Basically my life now is completely different than it was three months ago, compare it to my life a year ago and you wouldn't even believe that I was the same person! Don't get me wrong this is a very VERY good thing. I haven't had much time for art lately (hints the lack of updates)because of class and work. Oh! I got a new job waitressing, about a week after my last deviations, so that shows the lack of time. But, with the upcoming breaks from class I can use what was class time as art time. Exciting, I know. I have a couple of paintings in the works, as well as a book project, and of course some fx stuff. I might even have a couple of glamour shots done, since I got a gig modeling for a photographer. How's THAT for an ego boost, eh?

I really miss having time to draw, read, and paint, but life and duty calls, but it's all good, because I'm having a lot of fun, granted I miss the down time to do art, but I'm deff loving being able to go out and do things with people. I have a phenomenal group of friends from work that mean the world to me, they are by far, the greatest friends I've ever had! And unlike most of my "friends" they support me in my art and my ideas. They come visit me when I perform in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and anytime I doodle anything they tell me it's amazing. They're so great, and I owe them all so much!

College is going well, I finally declared a major in Spanish, but I'm still throwing around the idea of transferring schools and going to a specialty school. In which case, I'd be taking a semester off to work full time and save up money since tution is hella expensive. Grades are good, and juggling school, work, and friends to me isn't hard even when I work nearly full time some weeks. I'm excited to get the new art up though, after all that's why I have this account.

This coming spring, I'm thinking of going to an anime and game convention with a friend, I need to decide who I want to go as, so when I decide and start making a costume I'll def. put up some pics, I'm leaning towards FF X-2 Rikku right now, but we'll see, I really want to start doing more things like that, I think it's fascinating the people that you meet when you get out and DO things. I love it.

I guess to sum everything up, I'm loving life right now, I'm happier than I've ever been, and I realized I wasn't happy because I was surrounding myself with people who wouldn't allow me to be happy. Now that they're gone, I can be me, and trust me, right now I don't want to be anyone else.
