SEE CONTEST JOURNAL NOW! =>>[link]

Contest going well! Entries have slowed some, but there is still a staggering amount of greatness to judge! I have a few fellow deviants I watch that I think I'm going to ask to help me judge, because poor ~Nanookypoo and I are gonna have one heck of a hard time! We also have some new prizes, so click the link to my contest journal and check them out! Hopefully more prizes, judges, and entries to come! July 23rd is coming up fast!

Slices of Life
Woo! Fourth of July!... yeah I haven't really celebrated it for a long time. I used to go to my cousins house but that was a tradition almost 10 years ago. My family just doesn't believe in spending money on fireworks when we can watch them on TV or watch others blow up their money. My city is one of the only ones around me that allows fireworks, so there's plenty to watch (even though some are illegal...).

I will be posting a deviation of the b-day gift I made for my friend, but I'm giving it to her tomorrow and don't want her to see it beforehand. ^^ It's a sign made from a t-shirt design. That's all I will say.

I think I finally decided that I like this CSS the best. I like changing it to promote others, but this one is just great and perfect for me! <3 I still need to figure out the scrollbars though...

Oh! I passed my DMV written test btw! So I now have a learner's permit and will start practicing behind the wheel soon as I can. How terrifying!

New Poll: "Love?"
Hopefully there are some out there enjoying its presence right now...

I asked "What type of genre do you tend to like more?"
The majority seems to be sci-fi/fantasy, but there's a good amount of variation. I, myself, am a sci-fi/fantasy fan, next up being action/adventure.

New Watchers: Largely thanks to my contest I'm sure, I have STILL more new watchers. For those watchers that may not know, I try to show my appreciation by featuring you in a journal with two things from your galleries, so here goes:






Thank you bunches!

Deviants to admire: is a FABULOUS underwater photographer who I loved instantly! I didn't think I could love her work more until she started her Alice In Waterland series. With how much everyone knows I love Wonderland, I almost have a happy heart attack everytime she uploads more. I encourage you to enjoy the uniqueness in her gallery!



*remember to suggest deviants you admire to me and I'll feature them in future journals!
