Hey everyone! I hope you all are enjoying this Memorial Day weekend! 
The weather has been kinda wacky where I live, dropping down into the 30's in the mornings and then it's too hot a day later. Like really? Can the warm weather just stay for good? Haha, anyway...
It seems like the little things seem to bug me the most, because they can easily become big things. For example,
The few friends that I do have, out of them, only one has ever contacted me if they wanted to hang out or something. Only one, not on a regular basis of course, but pretty frequently. I've been friends with her for a few years now, and we're really close. However, the two other friends I have, both girls who have a boyfriend, have barely contacted me at all to hang out or talk or anything. It always seems like I have to be the one to ask them if they want to hang out, or talk. Always. Only once in a blue moon will they ask me and that's not only frustrating, but upsetting as well. Especially for one friend who I'm very close too as well. She goes everywhere with her boyfriend and a couple other people who she seems to talk to all the time, but when it comes to me, nothing. She asks nothing. She barely contacts me at all. And people have asked me when I complained about this, "Well, why don't you get involved more, why don't you ask them to hang out or something?" I do. Every. Single. Time. I'm getting sick of having to be that one person to ask everything. How about someone else ask me for a chance? It makes me think too. Did I do something wrong? Do they not like me? I'm not one to count the number of friends I have and brag about it or anything, but I'd like to have someone ask me to hang out on a random day when I'm just sitting around and having nothing else to do. This is why I partially dislike it when my friends are dating someone. They are always with them, always attached at the hip, etc. And I'm partially a hypocrite when I say that because honestly, I would like to hang out with whoever I may be dating rather than with my friends. I don't know, i's just weird that way.
Anyone else in the same boat?

Same Old, Same Old.
Hello! Long time no see, huh? Honestly, I have 0 inspiration or motivation to come onto DA, except maybe for a couple of groups that don't even have to do with photography. There's too much spam, too much AI, many folks are leaving or abandoning their accounts...there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to stay. I haven't touched my camera in months. When you have 95+° days with humidity nine months out of the year, it's hard to get outside for any amount of time. There's only fleeting moments during the rest of the time to visit state parks or go on walks. I do have a question. Is there another photography website that anyone has been posting on that's a better alternative to DA? I'm been debating returning to Flickr, that's the only one I know. I took another long hatius mostly due to holidays and work, but I'm slowly getting back on my laptop. I'd much rather be reading, which I got back into last year. Don't expect many posts though. Until next time!
Is The Hatius Over?
Hello fellow Deviantart folks! I am alive and well, don't you worry. I simply haven't had the motivation to return to DA. I'm assuming I haven't missed much? My photography has been lacking, mostly due to work hours and the weather. I live along the west coast of Florida and the heat/humidity is quickly taking over, making any walk miserable. I'm not a morning person so walking at dawn is next to impossible by the time I awaken and get out of bed. I've added a couple of albums to my computer in the past month or two, but no trips to state parks or anything. Too many people, too hot, and little to no time. This website hasn't given me any incentive to come back, except I'm growing a bit keen to continue my stories, though I'm highly considering starting over. In any case, I've discovered books once more and my small bookshelf has some new additions. My laptop has mostly sat untouched in the past few weeks and I rarely miss it. I used to spend hours and hours on the computer since
First DD?
Well, apparently I got my first DD today. Save the congratulations until after you've read this. Now, before I continue, please note that I am very grateful for this. Do not mistake my rant for ignorance. I just need to get something off my chest. I do appreciate this. I've been on DeviantArt for 11 years. I've seen many changes this site has gone through, many deviants come and go, and seen many artworks. My photography has changed significantly in that timeframe as well as my literature. That being said, of all the pieces I've uploaded over the years, both literature and not, this is the piece that's been chosen? Some 600 word ramble I put together in half an hour? A piece that's hardly connected to my main storyline in that group, just some claim attempt to gain a another herd member? Again, do not mistake my rant for something else, I'm just a bit confused and fustrated. That 600 word piece is barely who I am and what I do. If one of my photographs were chosen, I'd
[ Cottonwood-Valley ] - Herd Trackers.
Greetings! For anyone that follows my adventure through Cottonwood-Valley (a wild horse arpg), both in the group and outside, I decided to finally update my two herd trackers. You can now view the members in each herd with the exception of foals. There's also theme songs, voice claims, and a little information of personalities and backstories. Nothing is written is stone, so details can always change, especially if the horses switch owners. For personal reference, I also keep track of which mares are pregnant. Below are the links to each Google Docs of the two herds and below that is the link to my trading/selling journal for the group. This is only for the Cottonwood-Valley group; all details and designs below to their rightful owners.

I feel you, I really do. Seems like everyone is having a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a life in which they don't need me.
Just too bad for me that I don't... And honestly, I'm not (yet) so desperate as to be looking for a boyfriend everywhere, but I know what you mean by preferring to hang out with 'whoever I may be dating rather than with my friends'. But I'll guess we'll have to survive
