Turquoise-Lupine

Well, how to start this...um...as you all know I've been away fro quite some time without a reason or any warning to you guys. Hopefully this journal will clear everything right up! Beware however, this will probably be a long one......

Reason #1 - So, I guess it was a few months before school was out that I disappeared from the face of dA. To be quite honest, the main reason that I left was a huge truckload full of school work was dumped unceremoniously on me. I quite literally did not draw a single thing during those last few months of school, they were insane. When I wasn't spending all my precious spare time getting together for group projects I was studying for this or that test or reviewing.

Reason #2 - I succeeded in getting the volunteering job that I'd so badly wanted for a long time - volunteering at my local Vet clinic. It was a big deal for me because I want to be a vet in the future. This took up all of my time on Tuesday nights

Reason #3 - I worked a lot at the new species that esimplenote and I are working on, I finished all of my half of the first clutch of Oliavi, but ran into a snag in the plan when esi informed me that she may possibly be leaving dA for good.

Reason #4 - I go to my cottage every single weekend in the summer, starting the weekend before the May long weekend.

Reason #5 - When the glorious days of summer finally hit, I had even less free time. My volunteering turned into a paying job for the fall, for which I train two days a week for 5 or 6 hours. In addition to my Thursday night riding lessons I started riding someone else's horse for them 2 or 3 times a week. (Obviously I'm not complaining about that!!! )

Reason #6 - I went to my cottage for three consecutive weeks, and just got back this Tuesday.

Reason #7- I'm just plain lazy.

So now, at last, it seems that I'll be able to draw again and comment on all of the 1,017 deviations that you guys drew in that long span of time, as well as the 541 messages and 2 notes left for me. Ah, it's good to be back.

Now, if I can only get used the new submission categories……lol

I look forward to re-connecting with all of you guys! (That is if you still want to, of course )

Ok, firstly, i'm not sure if you are aware that wolves in America are going to be taken off the threatened species list! A couple of very devoted individuals like and are working very hard to get people to write letters to the government to keep wolves on the threatened/endangered list. Flann even made a template letter, which means less work for you! Just visit the site and write a letter, not that hard to do! The more people that write the better the impact, so get your pens & paper and write! Help the wolves we care so much about!

On a happier note, I saw Over the Hedge, and it is definately one worth watching! I was laughing the whole time, and it has something for everyone! ^^


ANNNNNDDD.......

Ok, a while back on dA I saw a hilarious Harry Potter flash animation called "Harry Potter and the five trials" I tried to find it again to watch it, so I looked in my favs. (of course I faved it, it was too funny!) But it was poof, gone! No where to be found! For the life of me I can't remember the artists name, and it won't show up even if I do a search. ;-; Anyone know where/how to find it?
