I should probably mention that next week my classes end, so I might actually have time to show my face around these parts again. I have 362 deviations and 117 messages! ack!

So also, pretty much, I'm in love, and he's made me dinner twice at least and gotten me a dozen daffodils and took me on a backpacking camping trip for my birthday this past weekend (I'm 20!) and we're seriously thinking long-term despite the months of my being abroad coming up. I am so happy that I have been skipping school to be with him and I am now thinking about him instead of my assignment due in an hour and 15 minutes. Having been good friends for 4 years already, we already have the hard part down. We just need to work on being productive as well as ecstatic. haha

Wish me luck on my final projects and exams! :heart: I will be back, you guys!

awwwww how sweet! Thank you. :aww: Actually, a lot of things are changing in my mind because this love feels so natural. However, you still should be leaving the desperate ladies alone. :p My birthday's this weekend, and he is taking me BACKPACKING IN THE MOUNTAINS! Holy. Cow. So don't expect me (I have a paper to write every single night until I leave with him) until next week.

Really, though, you two are making me smile because you didn't just let me disappear. =D

Seriously, who am I supposed to irritate with my astounding lack of morals with you gone? Hmm?

"you people"

I see how it is.

hahahaha... I was out of town with my new (and yet known forever) boyfriend. I may not have much time to hang out here for a while. I appreciate the comment! I haven't forgotten you people.

P.S. I have also learned that energy drinks are bad... I downed a small "eye opener" coffee (and I normally don't even drink soda) and I felt horrible for hours.

You can check out the 100 Theme Challenge in my journal or try National Poetry Writing Month where you write a poem a day...except you'd take a nice picture instead if you wanted. "_

Good luck with that(:
I've been busy, but not so much artistically... oh well. I hope to change THAT.

Yeah...I have so much to do but my sleep schedule is so wacky that I sleep through the day (between classes, half-in classes), stay up til 2am online doing nothing, and repeat. I hope to change that starting...tonight! (: How have you been?

Awesome! Do you inhabit dalit often? I'm in there on and off sometimes.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

and was pleasantly surprised by the poem:) haha

I saw, from your journal. That's SO AWESOME! :D Aww, I love Nicholas Cage but I haven't gotten to see NT2 yet, haven't had time or money. xD

Thank you so much, dear. I had a lot of fun taking them. My sister got all persnickity with me though, because I "hogged the window the entire effing time".

I'm glad you're doing so great. Everybody is so miserable, it's good to a friend that is having things go right. :)

Hey! I just found out I'm accepted to study abroad in Australia and got to see National Treasure 2 in a theater for free and I'm even about to sleep so I am FANTASTIC at the moment! How are you? Thanks for checking in on me! Your sky pictures are extraordinary; I just haven't had time to properly look them over.

Hello dear. How's it going? :)
