hello! how do you do?
it's been a while since i set finger back on deviantart.

oh, how i do miss you! it's been a month or two since i've been really active. but! it's rough, trying to stay active, when it's summer (it's good to be outside during this time, not hiding inside on the computer) and the fact that my job (which i dislike in extreme ammounts) is almost full time! (roughly 38 hours a week!) now what kind of fun does that leave a nineteen year old? not much, unfortunately.
on top of that, i've been very ill for the past week and missed one day of work. my manager said if i miss another i'll be terminated.
shit that! but i must continue working even when i am extremely ill, and trust me, it's no fun. i get to go in to work late today because i'm finally visiting a doctor. my throat is killing me. i just hope i don't have mono.....

ANYWAYS, i hope to be on here, if i ever have a free second in my life.
until the next time, do take care.

first and foremost, i would just like to thank everyone for being so supportive over the last five years that i've been on dA!



today i reached a da milestone of sorts. 100.000 pageviews.
thanks to everyone who has viewed my gallery lately and commented/faved my works.

i honestly cannot believe i've been here for over five years. crazy!
i remember when i first came aboard dA and submitted small craptastic oekaki's from the lovely 2draw.net. now i am majoring in photography. this place has definitely been a steping stone for my artistic growth.

125 deviations (even though over the years i've deleted some)
25 per year
Exactly 15,000 comments
3,000 per year
exactly 100,000 pageviews
20,000 per year
exactly ,1500 forum posts
300 per year
exactly 2,000 favorites
400 per year

so thank you all for your wonderful support. i've come a long way, when i view my gallery it seems like i've grown so much!

feature time!
=Scyoni - really has a unique and diverse gallery! check out her gallery!



~Migi47 - by the look of it, migi47 spends quite a bit of time on her artwork, so please check it out!



~sunshinespazz is a new watcher of mine who has kindly commented a lot of my new deviations. she's brand new to dA, so give her some dA love!



`davincipoppalag - has been an awesome deviant for years. i don't know anyone who tentatively comments as well as he does. he's a wonderful support of the community, so let's show him some support back! he has a wonderful mix of great photography and great lascaux digital work!

i've been messing with css all day now. and i can't for the love of fries use any of the ones premade through other deviants. so i decided to go through the css generator, and it worked out nicely. had to test a few different ones, but i think this one works well for now. (i'm into vintage anything right now, so i though this vintage fabric would go well as a journall css.)

let me know what you think!


and again, thank you all for your support.
i hope i am still here in another five years, being inspired, creating, growing, learning, and most importantly, VIEWING!

hello everyone!
i am finally done with final exams for college.
it sure has been a long week. fewf.

so now i should probably spend some more time updating my profile, and using all these extra cool modules i get now with my new subscription! yeah!

so be on the look out for a snazzier page soon.

i also find my watch count poll very interesting.
33 votes. 650+ watchers.
but even out of the 33 votes, i only get comments/favs/conversation from about 5 of those votes. hmm.

anyways!
since i am so close to 100,000 pageviews, i am doing a feature!
yay! yeah, that's right! and it's super easy to be featured too.
all you need to do is screencapture one of the following pageviews!
this is your last chance! there are still two chances left!
