"Soft hearts make the universe worth living in." ~Veronica Roth, Carve the Mark
Finally, spring break is here. I've been avoiding my laptop as much as possible ever since coming back home, but things have gotten quite boring here already, so that streak is probably ending. I was more excited for spring break before I left school, cause driving up here I realized I wasn't really driving home to anyone but my parents and one friend. I wrote my friend Sydney again before I left so fingers crossed she'll get it. It's also been a couple of weeks since Sean left and I haven't received any news as to his address yet. Nothing on Tyler before I left, either. Oh well.
I've been also thinking about what I want to do over the summer again and after the semester, I might go stay with my cousin for a week in Florida to see how I like it. If so, well, I'm sure snagging a job down there wouldn''t be that hard and I can also rent a car if I need too. As far as next semester, I'm sure I'll be in the same school, but I might need to start looking for apartments, but apartments that have a roommate to share the rent with, etc. It'll surely be cheaper than staying in a dorm, but the prices down there aren't that cheap to begin with. So, we'll see what happens.
My cat re-claimed me when I got home, sitting on my lap whenever she got the chance. I don't remember ever staying downstairs for that long. Normally, I'm upstairs in my room unless I'm out somewhere else. It was good seeing my other friend again, though nothing much has changed. More stores have closed their doors because of higher rent and/or bankruptcy, and yet there's a new hotel they're building. As if the other new one that just recently was finished isn't enough. Guess that's what happens in a small tourist town in the mountains.
Anywho, I'm going up to Burlington with my parents tomorrow, so I'll probably bring my camera and see what I can capture. We don't have the bird-feeder up in front of the house anymore because there was a bear up on someone's porch a few months ago, so no bird photography for the moment. The thing I did miss was driving down these back roads and blasting music, haha.
Since spring is kinda-hear (there's still plenty of snow in places where I live despite all the rain), here's a spring feature to lift some moods. Enjoy!

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. Twister's Herd ( #78 ) - [ Here ] Geiser's Herd ( #78-2 ) - [ here ] Trading/Selling Journal - [ here ]
