So as much as others are enjoying their newly found DA subscriptions around the holidays, I am sitted quite comfortably on my office chair, DA subscription or not.

yes, I know sitted isn't a word D:! I don't care ><

Due to a strange and unfortunate series of events, I ended up in Advanced Art this semester, it's old news, but I did not mention how absolutely glad I am to be in it! I'd thought that after taking Art I and Art II that this class would only be a filler for the empty slot, but after my lack of motivation with photoshop (due to frustrating trouble), I've discovered how much I aboslutely adore painting! <3 Don't get me wrong! Photoshopping is what I started coloring with really... well aside crayons in kindergarten.. and it's still quite handy, but it can't blend like oil paints can! .. If I had a thousand canvases....

(what's plural for canvas?)

My poor 'lil DA needs updating.. It's ok DA, I still love you <3 *pets*
If it's not obvious enough, I have some paintings to submit! Oh! I'd also like to ask for advice on getting a painting properly scanned or photographed onto a computer, I would normally just scan but seeing as almost all of my paintings are of unusual size I'm not sure how to do that. If anyone knows how to photograph one so it doesn't look absolutely terrible, please tell.

As for Adv. Art for this semester, I'm sad to say I'm working on the final project already D: it's a very sad thing, I know.. so many more ideas to spring to life... My last project will be a pack of wolves, in a dusky wood (like Duskwood, if anyone knows what that is), it will be fabulous :]

Sad to think that this year I am a senior.. so many things to do still, places to go, people to thank! >< Like Mr. Ramm, thank you Mr. Ramm!

I loved this poem enough to put it in a journal <3 I found a goldmine of poems from cleaning my room, I'll use other ones next time.
~~~
People look at me with eyes as to see
what appears to be life
but you should know it's never as it seems

Behind each frown is a smile
for life above and the song of the past
for to learn new things and get past the hard mile
Behind each laugh is something uncertain
for what will come of me or you
for those thoughts we all hide behind the curtain

I should let you know it's never as it seems
for those who believe I am ordinary
I hold something dear in between my seam

It's something you don't quite understand
maybe something you've never seen when before your eyes
but here I hold in this distant land
is something great in my horizon to watch at

Sometimes I'd like to think time moves slowly
to enjoy what golden hours sink through closed eyes
to embrace what I hold wholly
I'd like to think it will all be okay

Even if in the future
I lose what I love
the horizon will still be there
to watch at with the only smile I can give
to something which is
never as it seems
~~~
"Spoken from the fox are no better than it's lies,
thought from the soul, heart and mind
is the path behind it's eyes."
