So yah, I haven't really been here on dA much lately. I've been regularly responding to messages and faves, but I haven't submitted any new photos or been viewing anything recently submitted by the people I watch.

The main reason for this is my job. I've been working a crazy amount of hours! It's exhausting! And then when I'm not working, I'm too tired to spend too much time online.

So don't worry! I'm still here! I'm still doing fine! I'm just really busy with my job! In fact, I've been so busy that I've hardly touched my new D300!

The good news is, this won't be for too much longer! I'll only be working there for about a month. Then I'm going on vacation to San Diego! Then when I get back, I will be going to school and not working. So I will have a lot more free time, and I will be back to regularly keeping my dA updated!

So you won't see a lot from me for awhile, but come August things will be back to normal!


In other news, I got a pet mouse today! I adopted him from a local rescue group! His name is Ianto.





That's him!!! I didn't take that picture. It was actually taken by the woman who owns the pet adoption center where I volunteer. But I have taken lots of photos of him! So you will be seeing lots of him in my gallery soon! I have some videos of him too. I'll probably upload them to the internet at some point in the near future. When I do, I'll be sure to post the links in a journal entry so you can see Ianto in all his cuteness!



In any case, today's features are Black and White:

Yup! That's right! I have upgraded to a Nikon D300




I am completely overwhelmed by this camera!!! Haha! It is taking a bit of getting used to, but I'm having so much fun with it! I've been experimenting with some of the features, but next week I plan on really testing it out!

I'm currently submitting photos here on dA that I took back in March, so it will be awhile before I start posting anything I've taken with my D300... but it will be something to look forward to!

So yah, I'm super excited! I can't wait to take my new camera to California this summer!! Woo!

That's really all that's going on with me lately. I've been working like crazy!!! They've been scheduling me sooooooo many hours at work. Which is exhausting, but I like the money! Or rather, I enjoy spending money! I'm thinking about buying a couple new lenses this weekend! I dunno though. We'll see! I know I do need a bigger memory card for my 12 megapixel beast of a camera!



Today's features are of sunsets and sunrises!

My wonderful friend *SpunkOnAStick was so very kind and bought me a 1 month subscription here on dA! So in a month from now, I will have more than enough money to purchase another year-long subscription, and I don't have to worry about being subscription-less for a couple weeks! I am so happy! You have no idea how much this means to me!!!!

So a big THANK YOU goes out to




Everyone, go check out her gallery now and add her to your watchlist! She is an incredible artist, writer, and an all around beautiful person with a very warm heart!

So just yesterday I realized that my subscription ends May 29, 2008! That's this Thursday!!! Yikes!

I don't have the money right now to renew it, which sucks. I'm going to miss being subscribed! It's only for a few weeks though, as I should be able to afford a subscription soon!

Haha, it's going to be so weird being unsubscribed! I can't even remember what dA looks like from an unsubscribed account!

And since I'm losing inbox thumbs for my watchlist, it's going to be very difficult for me to keep up to date on checking out newly posted work! And of course I won't be able to post features in my journal. So you're going to have to bear with me for a few weeks! But hopefully things will be all back to normal soon!

And to everyone I watch, I WILL get around to viewing/commenting/faving your work eventually... it just might not be until after I get my subscription back!

In the meantime, I will continue to try to catch up on submitting my photos! I'm currently submitting photos I took in March, so I'm only 2 months behind!

In other news, I am exhausted because I had to be at work at 5 am this morning to do price changes!!! Today was supposed to be my day off too! Blah! Retail sucks! I do enjoy my job... at least the "pet" part of it! The "store" part is starting to really get to me!


In any case, in honor of the Lost finale this week, enjoy these awesome Lost features:
