Journal Entry: Thu Aug 20, 2009, 3:43 PM


After some people decided using what information they could find on me as a make-shift weapon for their inability to offer a compelling argument, I decided to revise this area a bit. :D

At an early age I discovered the wonders of the internet. I didn't know spending the night at my Aunt's house would introduce me to something I'd later border an addiction to. She used AOL. I can still recall that annoying connection sound. When I returned home the next day, I cooed over how amazing chatting was and how much fun I had online. I begged my dad to let me use the internets at my curious age of 12.

He had a few trial CDs for AOL and set me up. It didn't take long for that log in to get annoying and the trials to expire. To keep me chatting happily, my dad found OCO (Orange County Online) for me to use instead, a mIRC chat that originated from Orange County, Texas. From there I delved into basic programming with the chatroom bots and discovered my first MMORPG, The Realm Online.

Somewhere along the way I discovered Furcadia and that inevitably led me to deviantART. It was during my first year in the military that I came to this community. I was a lean mean fighting machine, playing with Furcadia dreams. :D (I don't care to explain that, if you play the game you'll understand, if you don't.. just move on.)

After a while even the various MMO's I'd tried lost interest for me. (Lineage II, EverQuest, WoW, UO, etc.) Albeit, deviantART never lost it's swagger. I was drawn to the internet by chatting and I remain on the internet because of the broad range of communication you have with like-minded people. Although I don't frequent dAmn regularly, I do interact with the community on various levels and I love it. In later years I've found satisfaction in discovering facts and information from the internet. My big kick has been copyrights and how it all works online, considering how the internet works.

As I had said before I was in the U.S. Army for a while, four years to be exact. I spent two years in S. Korea and one year deployed to Afghanistan; the rest was travel, training, and vacation time. In June 2007 I was honorably discharged and married to a soldier. I now serve my country as a proud Army wife.

My husband and I met at a small bar outside our home base. We were a couple of relieved soldier's coming off a deployment out to have a good time in celebration of our return home. We'd never imagined that we'd be meeting the person we'd spend the rest of our life with. After five months together we were married by the justice of the peace on June 8, 2007. It still remains one of the happiest days of my life. Regardless of the ups and downs we face.

dA-WISH (Where I Stand Here) is a section used to express where you stand on common controversies in dA.
If you would like to create your own dA-WISH feel free to do so, it's your choice if you want to give credit to me or not. The important thing is that you communicate with members of dA who watch your journals or view your gallery. Communication is a beautiful thing and I support good communication.


On Comments: I do not respond to simple comments. If you don't take the time to say something more constructive than "cool" then I'm not going to take the time to respond to you. I'd actually prefer to not receive a comment than to get something generic.

On Favourites: I personally consider a :+fav: a compliment and I appreciate the support from any who :+fav: my work. I don't give or expect any commentary for favorites. I'd actually prefer not to be thanked when I collect someone's work. I find it redundant. There's already a level of appreciation between both parties, no need to express what's already understood--or at least, should be understood.

On Watching: I watch people that I think have talent, bring useful information to the table, or entertain me in some way. I don't think of dA as a popularity contest, it's a place for art. If you watch me I may watch you, but I won't do it to give you incentive to watch me in the first place.

On Criticism: If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Even if your mother/father/guardian didn't teach you this, I strongly believe that everyone should follow it. It's not to say that you should never point out negative aspects of someones work, simply that you should include good points as well. It's called constructive criticism for a reason.

On Policy Violations: If I have no doubts, I hit report. I believe in educating people when they make a mistake. Otherwise, they may never learn. You're liable to get a note or a comment from me if I take the time out to report your submission as a policy violation. Did one of your deviations get a comment from me about policy violation? Read this.

This listing may expand if more repetitive issues/concerns arise.

I just collected it and dragged and dropped it to wherever. Then, I gave them points. Is there more I should be doing?

It's a place here in Guatemala called Semuc Champey.. I have yet to work on the photos to upload them, but soon, soon!
It's a wonderful place! In a valley in the middle of nowhere, no electricity so the hotel there has a gasoline generator and they turn the lights out at 10, so you can see ALL the stars and it's just an awesome place!

When you feel your soul drop to the floor,
Like a hole, like an open bleeding sore...
Then you'll have bled like I bled!
And you'll have wept as I've wept!

If you look at the submissions journal I made a section to actually display there works as we recieve it too... so we have essentially the same effect as adding it to our gallery. When you add something put the date in bold beneath the section you're adding it to and a thumbnail of that piece beneath the date. Be sure to make the journal visible to all members also so they know it's been updated. This is just an additional means of exposure for them and still a lot easier on staff than full-blown submissions. I still didn't manage to update everything and I'm writing this now very quickly before I finish getting ready for work. :) (which kinda sucks... by the way) anywho, talk more later.

If you have any questions let me know. :hug:

Thank you...

Your Support is Appreciated
Thank you for the :+fav:'s, comments, and :+devwatch:'s. I truly appreciate your support!

I will respond to all the comments I receive. :heart: It may take me a while at times, but 9/10 I will respond. Things like "cool" and "this is awesome" are not comments I typically respond to. If that's the most you can say about something then I don't see a reason to respond.

As for the :+fav:'s and :+devwatch:'s I'll try to stop by each and every one of your galleries, but I don't leave comments for them. To me, it's no better than spam. I believe in content-filled comments not place-holder comments.
