I have 5,400 new deviations to go through! >,<

Finally, my college semester is over and I can get back to my drawingz! I have many I want to work on, including ones I had to put on hold because of the hectic semester, as well as some newer ones.

I do not regret putting the art on the shelf for a few months though, because I have gotten an A in intermediate algebra,psychology, and field biology, and a B+ in chemistry. That makes a 3.846 GPA!! High enough to remain in Phi Theta Kappa!
Also, my psychology class has taught me so much about how people act, why they may do it, and what causes it. I have learned a lot about many different things, it was a great semester.

-My psychology class has enlightened me to a great chunk of knowledge I'm SO glad I learned!
As it turns out, one person that I used to be friends with and myself have absolutely nothing in common past insignificant surface interests like drawing, anime, and videogames. It saved me and my sanity to sever ties communication with them. I would not be as far as I am today because I used to stay behind so they would not feel left out.
The most prominent difference is the lying. I never lie. This way, all of my family and friends believe me when I say something. I am so truthful, that even when a stranger accuses me of lying, I get so mad because I never lie, even though they don't know that. Lying has no real useful purpose and doesn't accomplish anything, so I see nood need to utilize it. This other person lied all the time, to everyone, about everything. Lying about sicknesses and injury, being raped by a family member (yet never having showed any psychological trauma whatsoever and even making rape jokes,) things of science they knew nothing about, TV shows, and anything to get attention. Most annoying was when I accomplished something or decided to share some knowledge with them, they would lie about an accomplishment of theirs or pretend to know something about what I was talking about. It was very hard for myself and others to be able to beleive anything they said. It's sad is what it is, and kinda funny. I can be confrontational, especially ehrn defending my beliefs and opinions, or defending my friends, but I will not go out of my way to argue with everyone (I stopped that when I started growing up.) However, this other person is always looking to be right about everything, even things that know nothing about, like science. It's so annoying to try to share something I just saw on a reputable TV science show or in a book when the person you share it with disputes you based on evidenceless opinions based soley on belief and nothing you say can even make them consider an alternative side. And to be constantly told you are wrong about everything just because the other person in incapable of admitting they are incorrect without feeling uber stupid gets old really quickly. I am generous and think of others, always willing to be there for people, they are selfish and only do something for someone if they can get something for themself out of it. I enjoy being in the limelight, but am also okay with it being on someone else, and will be happy for them if it is, they will do anything for attention, even faking an injury or traumatic event or stupid random weird behanvior to get the attention off anyone else. I take an interest in my future and the future of the world and world events, they just live day to day in their room with videogames and hate the news. I am brilliant and creative, thinking of new ways to use things and new applications of science and music, they are what my book calls a "lazy thinker." People that hold their opinion and say, "That's my opinion and there is nothing you can say to change it", and, "I know it because I just do," are prime examples of lazy thinkers. The book actually used those quotes! So if you think that way, please be open to others interperetations and be able to justify your opinion with evidence. The book calls those people "critical thinkers." So, if you know anyone that has these symptoms of closed-mindedness and lazy thinking, please intervene and try to have them be more open, otherwise they will sail through life in a straight line, not accomplishing anything or forging strong and lasting bonds with people. They don't see how they are themselves because of how closed-minded they are, so someone else has to show them and open up their eyes to the real world.-

I just keep maturing and getting closer to being able to live on my own. I have had years of hindrances because of my psychological conditions and the autism (it's called asperger's syndrome.) But I am lucky enough to have friends that love me for who I am, and like the fact that I'm not like everyone else; they understand that the annoying little things I do I can't really help, and they don't get mad at me for it. They are the type that are lifelong friends. You know who you are (Stephen, Sarah, Joe and a few others.) Thank you and I love you guys!

I really don't have any free time these days. Between my 20 hours a week of work and balancing my four courses (intermediate algebra and chemistry taking up most of my studying time), I don't have much free time. So, as much as I would like to just sit down, draw and comment and reply to comments, etc, I just can't afford it right now. My sincerest apologies to you all. I will be getting back to it at the end of the semester!
Thank goodness for Tokio Hotel's 2005 Schrei album! 14-year old Bill Kaulitz's amazing voice (prepubescent at the time of Schrei) and the catchy melodies and the instrumentals, along with all the songs being in German is the only thing helping my brain from fizzling out. I swear I never knew I could demand so much from my brain and keep on going. Honestly, I'm amazing myself lately!
Despite all this, I am still managing to keep a high average grade to remain in the Honor Society I joined.

P.S. If you are a fan of Tokio Hotel, you HAVE to hear the adorable songs from Schrei (German for Scream).

'Wo Sind Eure Hände' for rock and roll, everyone! XD
That means 'Raise Your Hands'

Edit: I made the Presidental Honor list last semester. It's the highest academic award given at my college. In addition to that, I have been invited to join the Kappa Beta Delta AND Phi Theta Kappa Honor Societies! I got a 4.0 GPA with 12 credit hours and so became eligible for this. I get many perks and a chance for a scholarship available inly to KBD members. Only the top 10% in my college even get considered for this, so it's a major accomplishment. I am so intelligent, that though everyone is proud of me, they are not surprised. I have SOO many great things happening in my life this year. It's the start of a wondeful rest of my life. All my wonderful friends are welcome to share it with me. I love you guys. You know who you are!! ^,^

Only took two weeks until I could could walk a bit on my foot again and three weeks for me to be able to walk without the crutches at all. I have been walking for a week and my latest x-rays say I have healed so much that I can have the pin removed on Tuesday. The rest of the swelling will subside once it is out. I'm hoping to return to work and continue making moolah in maybe two weeks.
I have been lifting weights and doing other tolerable exercises while my foot has been healing like crunches, push ups (lady style since I could not put pressure on my foot at that angle) and some strecthes. I have lost nearly 15 pounds in the past few months and am fitting into a bunch of clothes I grew out of.
Now I go out in belly shirts and show off my start of abs! I have a two pack right now and I have not even been doing many ab work outs!
I really need to get to the store to stock up on my fruits and veggies and yogurts!
Also, my hair is growing SOO fast! Three inches in three months, wow! I decided to add some blue and purple in a complicated mix of three colors since I am out of work right now. My hair has a wonderful wave to it at this length. People have actually asked me if I style it that way, but it's natural.
Also, I have been working on some awesome art lately. It is so accurate with the mysculature and hand details. Great poses, too. I have been working on my character for the Philly Otaku manga and his/her pet, a feathered wolf. I will upload them once they are complete a bit more. I have also been working on some creature designs and pets of other characters. I am drawing better than I ever have before!!!
I am so glad I got my art spark back. From the age of 4, everyone knew I would be a great artist since I drew 20 fingers on each hand, each with a red circle on the end for nail polish and nails, and circles for kneecaps, as well as a million crooked teeth in the mouths, along with eyelids and a gajillion eyelashes. I never wanted to leave any white, so I colored the eyes and teeth yellow.

I am going to Aria Health for some foot surgery this upcoming Tuesday. It's long overdue. When I was younger my feet (mostly my right) collapsed and started putting pressure on parts of my foot that there should have not been so much pressure. It started deforming my foot over the years. That's why it took me hours to find comfortable shoes that did not dig into my ankles when I was a kid. My parents just called it "low ankles." The tendon on the inside of my foot sticks out more than ot should and twitches when I am not on my feet, I have a boney knob that formed on the base of my big toe knuckle friom the friction(basically a bone callous), my big toe slants to the right, and the meta tarsial bone sticks out at a high angle. It's called a bunion.
To make matters worse, I am starting to get a freakin' plantar's wart on the heel of my other foot, the one that will be bearing all my weight for two months.
Luckily, my orthotics will be ready soon, so my bunions won't get any worse. They cost an arm and a leg. $410!

I have to have a sliver of bone removed from the meta tarsial to correct the angle and will have two pins in the bone so it can heal, they will shave off the excess bone from the knob, and they will partially sever the tendon to my big toe in two places to lengthen it.
I will be in a cast from toes to knee and on crutches for 6-8 weeks, and be out of work for 8-10 weeks. It's going to be tough not being able to go out and chill with my friends, but it will give me ample time to catch up on my art plans and finally try my new Prismacolor colored pencils. I'll really have to be extra strict with my diet so I won't put on any extra pounds. I have managed to get back down to 122 and would like to not be over 125 by the time I am healed. I don't want to go back to college not fitting any of my clothes.

She did not do him justice, either. She draws now how I drew when I was 12!

darkwitchpixy stole my character months ago and drew him and killed him off without my permission. Very low and immature. But I should not be surprised, she's not very creative or original. She changed his name and hid my comment about him so no one would know he was mine. Now the thief presents him as her own character. I can't prove that she stole him, as I never recorded the converstaions we had, nor did I draw him before, but I know and my friends know that she stole him. I will revive him. She has no control over him; I do. She first changed his name from Rorinn (the real spelling) to Rorrin and after that she made it Ronin. What an unoriginal name. He's my character and I will revive him. Just have to find time in my busy, busy life.
At least she can't steal Keratesiu, since I already drew him. And she can't steal my other awesome characters, either, especially the animals. She can't draw animals.
