So a few things!

*The puppies are getting HOOOOOOGE. Now that they've gained their feet they haven't stopped moving and it's a rare moment when they aren't yipping up a storm. They are about 3 weeks now and I both dread and look forward to when I can start playing with them. Right now, if you go into the pen they waddle up to you, wagging their little tails and yipping (probably because they think you're Sid and are going to feed them) and demand attention. Casper, the big white one, has surprised me by being the mellowest in the litter despite being the biggest. Mom's pretty much already decided for us who we're keeping, the little runt who we've named Dizzy. He looks just like Sid but he's one of only two without the pitbull scrunchy face that she doesn't like.

* I hugged a complete and total stranger this morning! I went to McDonalds for breakfest (they have great hashbrowns) and it was SLAMMED. Like 9 cars in the drive through and 10 people in line. Anyways, I waited in line and ordered 3 hash browns and then I noticed that there were only 3 people working there. Well, 4 if you count the manager, who was learning to cook. The POOR GIRL at the counter was trying to get food bagged up and take a couple HUGE orders and somehow (gee I wonder how) she forgot all about me and I was standing there waiting for 3 hashbrowns for over 15 minutes. When she realized how long I'd been waiting she almost cried apologizing to me and I felt so bad for her that I considered applying for that McDonalds again just to HELP the poor thing. Anyways, I reached over the counter and hugged her and she kinda leaned after I told her "BREATHE, woman!" It was just a funny moment in a very odd morning.


* I turn 21 on August 5th! Oh my god....I'm getting old D:


* I'm not good enough to do true features cuzz probably only 3 people really read my journals, but I thought I'd list down a few of my favorite artists for your viewing pleasure.

-- Her people drawing skills, especially her EXPRESSIONS, are fantastic. This girl can draw just about anything under the sun. She's also a complete sweetheart and you should go commission her because she is awesome and win and I love her to death.

-- One of the most talented artists I've had the pleasure of talking to, her dragons just blow my mind. She's friendly and woefully under-watched. She's also an endless source of entertaining links and hilarity.

-- One of my favorite artists to watch here on DA, her Pern dragons never fail to amaze me. Her coloring skills are fantastic and she's one of those people I smile every time I see a new piece of art from in my message box.

-- A good friend, a fantastic writer, and a marvelous artist, her dragons just blow me out of the water. I love her digital work but it's her marker and pencil artwork that just amazes me, especially her dragons. She's a sweetheart and definitely worth checking out.

-- I recently stumbled across her art through 's collaboration with her on the popular adoption site, DragonCave. Her pixeling skills are impressive and it's fun to see her requests pop up in my message box. I really hope some of her DragonCave sprites make the cut!

-- This girl has got coloring skills like you would not believe! Her art, especially her Pernese and Redwall art never fails to amaze me and I'm always happy when she spams me with her WIP's. Please check her out if you like dragons or Redwall! She is awesome!




<_< So yeah. Someday when I magically develop artistic talent and people come to look at my art, they will see this and go visit these wonderful people and spam them with the adoration they so deserve.
