I have dreamed a dream...

If you dream about the same girl four different times, does it mean you're officially in love?
I dreamed about Her again two nights ago. It was quite vivid.

Anyways,
Hi.

Four months later I'm updating my journal.
To sum up my life since the last journal
- I've been working with my dad, who's a bricklayer. I'm not the best, but it's been good. I have the feeling I'm moving away next year, so spending time with him has been great.

- I'm going back to school again in the fall, this time to retake everything I failed, and this time I'm going to pass. It's going to happen. Failure is not allowed on the radar. It will be taken out with nukes if it dares approach no, really, I'm serious. I will not accept failure a second time.

- I GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!! ^ ^ Her name is Lumierre, she's a Toshiba Satellite, with an AMD A10 Quad-core processor, which clocks in at a total of 9.2 Ghz at 2.3 Ghz per core. She also has 8 gigabytes of ram, a 750 gigabyte harddrive, and plays Portal 2 like a dream.

- I've started doing stuff in 3D. 3DS Max 2013 and I have not been getting along well, but school's now going to require me to use Cinema 4D, which I now have, and am liking! Even if the controls are going to take much getting used to. Expect artwork from that soon.

- I've learned so much about God, especially as of late, it's incredible. Or should I say, He's incredible.

- I have proved myself a nerd. I'm getting into HTML5. I took one look at the code, and my jaw dropped. Literally. Five minutes later I was having a fangasm. It's irrefutable now. _{I'm doomed, aren't I?}

- I've discovered I like to dance. A lot. Lessons are going to happen in the nearish future hopefully.

- Last, and most importantly, I'm kinda taking an enforced break from dA. Til september 15th, I'm *trying* to cut back how much time I spend on here. Until then I'm not looking at anyone's art (unless it's too intriguing and needs faving), journals aren't really being read, and I'm mostly just trying to continue conversations with friends on here... which hasn't been happening very well either to everyone who's been dropped, I'm truly sorry, and I'm trying to get on top of things. Actually, I've always been bad at messaging,hence my signature. I'm just starting to work on it now.


AAAAANyways, there's a lot of I's in there <_<
I'd like to feature a few people.

is the sassy queen of photographs. Long ago she made a point of making Picnic and Picasa her bitches, and now she's got a way with pictures that's not quite like anything else I've seen.

is a troubled poet who puts her soul into her words. I'll be quite honest, despite posting up poems by the dozen, I don't often look at other people's lit. She's one of the few who I considered worth my attention. This sounds really arrogant, but seriously, she's good

is someone I actually know personally. He's irritatingly shy, but his photography is seriously really good. He's got a brilliant eye for shots, and has some truly unique moments captured via camera. I would definitely say he's worth giving a shot. *cough* He actually posts a lot more pictures on Google Plus, so if you have an account, go check him out at plus.google.com/10563920959541…

And just so you see what I mean, here's two examples from each gallery


:thumb316876516: the clockwork liari. we dusted dreams off people like the first snowflakes of the season. you'd take one and rest it on the center of your tongue because you hated the taste of ice cream and wanted to reset what cold tasted like to you.
you taught me that the cold could be bitter, and so could people's dreams.
you drank out of out-of-order wells because you believed they still worked and that the government was keeping it all to itself.
i never realized how insane you made me before i wrote this all down.

ii. i wished on the sun because i ran out of shooting stars.
and just to spite me, you began wishing on raindrops because you believed that they were so many, one of them was bound to remember you.
but we both ended up laughing hysterically with protruding knives on a bloodstained floor, didn't we?

iii. i talked to clockwork towers and told them to lie because if they stopped for just a while, all the time in the world would seize.
one human, two human


Show them some love please! They're all amazing artists whose presence I appreciate

Well that is it for now. I have a bunch more photos to upload. I'm writing more, and I will very soon have 3D stuff for you all to diss to your heart's content.
Peace!
