SEE CONTEST JOURNAL NOW! =>>[link]

Speaking of my contest, HOLY SMOKES! It is going unbelievably well! I didn't think I'd have this many entries or entrants by the time it ended, yet alone within the first week! Thanks bunches to those who've been so enthused and supportive of my wee little contest.

Also, I'm still looking for judges and prizes. Yes, I know you probably get tired of hearing it, but even something small helps prize-wise.

Okay, nuff about contest... on to updates and such!

Slices of Life
Summer vacation is great! I've been occupied hanging out with some friends, reading, and yesterday I started my long wanted sewing lessons! Sewing is really easy (the foot pedal is nothing since I have to use one in dentistry anyway), all it takes is practice. So I plan to start small, simple projects this summer so maybe by december I'll be good enough to fake my first outfit? Here's hoping. Been doing lots of house-work too cuz school kept me so darn busy. I've a whole list of stuff I want to do this summer and I feel like time is gonna go by too fast...

On the downside, I've either got really pesky allergies or I'm coming down with a summer cold. Or both.

New Poll: Do you know the muffin man?
'nuff said. I have no reason to ask other than I'm trying to be witty.

My other poll, "I say 'Hello', you say:" went really well! WOW! So many answers! I hadn't checked it for a while, then I suddenly went from ten answers to almost 45! I was like !

New Watchers: Largely thanks to my contest I'm sure, I have a handful of 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:










phew!

Deviants to admire:
Another deviant was suggested for admiration and I'm glad they were! Suggested by ~tamlinshun
~AsheRhyder is the brilliant creator of a comic about the most unlikely characters being roommates. The four main characters are Eric--the Phantom--from Phantom of the Opera, Jareth from Labyrinth, Javeret from Les Miserables, and James "Jamie" Norrington from Pirates of the Carribbean. With many other characters involved in this kooky and entertaining comic, what's not to love? I urge you all to start at page one

and don't stop till you reach the current page, which I won't tell you, or you may be too intimidated to start.
~AsheRhyder also has some brilliant fanart such as
and (which is cover 4 of the Roomate comic, just to make you drool and get more motivated to read it)
Obviously, I could talk all day about how brilliant is, but you really just have to find out for yourself.

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