Spring is officially here! It may not feel like it outside to some people, and others still may have snow to get rid of, but either way, winter is now over. Hopefully. The weather has yet to fully warm up, but I'm staying hopeful.
In other news, things have once again turned complicated in my life. As far as college goes, I have two other ones to hear back from. One already said no. My grades are average, probably below, and I have no one to blame but myself. However, I need a fresh start somewhere else. I have so much potential to show and give, I just need a chance. It almost feels similar to the job situations where I live. Everyone looks for experienced only. That's all fine and mighty but what about the ones who need experience to move forward? The ones who have to learn and be taught? The ones who need that chance to prove themselves. I just hope these other two colleges will accept me. I am planning on having some type of conversation with one explaining my potential bad grades, but I'm not sure if that will do any good. I'll be turning 21 next month. I need to be in a college now before I get any older. I'm tired of waiting around.
Also, I may or may not have a boyfriend, officially. I only say maybe because things are complicated with that once more and it surrounds school. I understand the whole wanting to be together and be able to see each other and spend time with each other, etc. However, I don't think he understands that my choices are limited. He makes it seem so simple. If I do not get into a college, I can take online classes to raise my GPA. Yes, that's all good, but those classes are expensive and I've already taken care of my core classes through that. It would be a waste of money and time, in my opinion. He also stated that I can live in an apartment with someone if there is no on campus housing. Yeah, I don't think so. I want the full college experience, and that includes being in a dorm surrounded by other girls that I can be-friend. It'll do me no good to be stuck in an apartment, even with a room-mate. He also says if I go to a college that's more than 4-5 hours away, this relationship will not work. I understand he's had issues in the past with long distance relationships, but that wasn't with me. I almost feel trapped, like I have to stay here just because of him. I do want this work and I do love him and want to be with him. But I don't want to miss any opportunity that might be given. I want to get as far away from this state as I possibly can and it has nothing to do with him. He puts the blame on me and basically says this relationship lies with my decision. So it's either stay close to home and have him happy, or go to college further and lose him. I just hope everything works itself out in the end.

In any case, enough with the depressing stuff. Now onto the first spring collection!

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 ]
