DeviantArt Account!

Hi guys! I got a DeviantArt account earlier today.... :D Here's the link....

http://xxduskravenxx.deviantart.com/

I'm working on a book called The Guardians of Gryphia on there - if you have time, I'd love your feedback! Thanks!

Animation...?

Hey everypony! (I like My Little Pony, deal with it. :D )
It's me again, haha. Still haven't gotten my membership renewed on AJ, what with me missing school, backed up on homework, and all this craziness happening in my life right now... but I had a question! Recently, I have been looking into computer animation and have gotten a few tips on what to do, but I'm stuck on what software to use and how to get started... as you can see from my dragon drawing in the post below this, I'm not perfect at computer drawing, but that's not a problem right now, really. I was wondering if you all had a few suggestions for what I should do to get started on stuff like this... I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 7, by the way. (No Macs here, sorry everyone...) Thanks!

Random Computer Drawing #1

Well, I've decided to get a DeviantArt account, so I wanted to brush up on my computer drawing skills so that when I join, my drawings will at least be presentable.... This was my first shot at doing so....

Do you guys like it? By the way, special thanks to Nytefaerie for the inspiration to computer draw XD!

I'm Back (Again) + New Stuff

Wow, okay, hi guys! I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting like I promised, but life hasn't been working out so well, lol. School has definitely kept me busy. >.< Stuff happened, though....

1. I got my very own laptop, which means I can go on any time I want! (Even past my bedtime, like right now. ^^)
2. My phone broke. :(
3. I lost my membership on my AJ accounts (unfortunately), but I'm going to try and talk my dad into renewing it. ^^

Yeah, so stuff happened and blah, you guys know how crazy life gets. I wanted to tell you guys about a few options for this blog...

1. Animal Jam (posting about updates and new stuff [once I get my membership back])
2. Writing Blog (where I can post stories and such [I need ideas for this if so!])
3. Derp.... Need other ideas.

Okay, well, yeah, that. You can decide on whatever you like (or come up with a new idea for this blog) and post it in the comments - don't be shy to, I love to respond to people's thoughts! I'll also put up a poll if you can't comment. Anyways, I think that's about it... Thanks everyone!

I Feel The Sudden Need to Bring This Up.

Before I begin, I must say I have to bring this up. (And NO, when I say that I'll remember you, I'm not a stalker, k? Just needed to clear that up.)

I've been gone for so long from Animal Jam. It makes me feel horrible. In fact, I remember the day that my friend told me about it (Wondering who? It's.... complicated.). She asked me, "Would you rather be a tiger or a wolf?" I answered, "Wolf." Then she began to tell me about Animal Jam - she THOUGHT (at the time) that you could change into other animals because she saw someone change into a seal. I remember when I joined that site, and I was with her. I didn't like it at first because I thought the animals looked weird. (I thought it would be more realistic.) But suddenly, something came over me - I.... Met.... Friends. *gigantic gasp* Friends! Yay!

Friends are hard to come by. First of all, (Haha, I don't even know how to put this. At all.) my father says I am destined to be lonely. Why? Well, yes, I indeed do want friends. I appreciate their presence. But, I was afraid of people. I hated most people. They had their friends, I didn't. I was afraid (and still am) of making friends because I had lost three friends that were my only friends. So I didn't bother to make any friends. But online, it's so much easier. They appreciate me (I hope....).
But stuff happened. Life happened. (Hold on, guys, I'm almost done. Hehe.) I hate most everything now.
I'm destined to- Wow, I'm just restating what I said earlier. Hold on. Oh, now I remember. I've been gone for so long, from everything, from all of my online friends, and I feel crushed about that.

My situation exactly. o3o

I've known some of my friends for almost four years, now. But I've come back to Animal Jam recently (somewhat recently... *ahem*) and I've noticed that some have deleted me. Others, who I knew early in my AJ days, haven't come on in so long. I ask myself, "Is it that easy to forget everything? Is it that easy to just let everything go and forget your friends?" Is it really? I MISS YOU PEOPLE. I have some friends that I haven't seen in so long, I just hope they're okay. You don't just leave AJ, or any other site, (Wow, okay, sidenote - I seem to be insulting myself here, cause I haven't been on so much, but I haven't forgotten you guys.), without a decent reason. (Or if you just quit because you want to, that's okay.) Do not you care about the friends you leave behind? Do you not wonder where they are, or wonder if they miss you? You don't just go off and just disappear! NO! That's just, NO! It's, just NO. I think about them every day, and sometimes I wonder if they're dead. If you go, you leave behind everything that you had there, erase all of your memories. And that will HAUNT YOU, my friend, THAT WILL HAUNT YOU. You will wish that you had gone back. You don't leave. NO. People CARE.
I was looking through my old YouTube videos just today. I found a movie series that I was going to make with my Animal Jam friends. Half of them are gone. I remember every day the things we did together, the adventures we all had, everything we told each other. But once you're gone, they don't know you. They don't know where you go (I'm not saying that you need to tell where you're going, we're not gonna stalk you.) I wish I went on and I got my friends together and finished it. I repeat everything that happened, and I miss everything. I want more time with the friends I care for on Animal Jam before they quit. DO YOU NOT CARE ANYMORE? I DO! WHY ARE YOU GOING? DO YOU NOT CARE? WE MISS YOU PEOPLE.
I also looked back on the things my friends and I did. We made a clan, we did glitches, we laughed together. Does that not mean anything to you? Are you willing to let that go? Don't. No.
I barely come on because it kills me to - I look at Sarepia and I see memories - I see my clan, I see my friends and I doing glitches. I look at Mt. Shiveer, and I see all the times we gathered at the Cocoa Hut. I see Jamaa Township and I remember Icecream's Glitch Club. I remember the videos I made. I remember all the ones I was in, I remember Luna12001, I remember so many things that kill me everyday. (This is making me cry, I can't see the keyboard, my eyes are all blurry.) I see Coral Canyons and I remember the Dynamite video that my friends and I attempted to dance to, the videos I was going to do, the place where I traded, the first time that my den was full of people because I was hosting a Trading Party. I can barely remember my friends' animals' looks, I haven't been on in so long. I barely remember what they said to me, before they were gone. All I remember is that they were all so nice... and I come back.. And everything, everyone, almost everyone I know... Is gone.
All I'm trying to say here is that people will miss you if you go. Okay? Got it? Good.
I'm sorry, you guys. I haven't been on so much. I think about ya'll every day. I try to check this blog on weekends, or right now when I finish my homework early. Please don't forget me, or give up on me, or give up on anything. I wish I could see ya'll, I wish I could tell you how much I miss you. I want to tell you everything I want to explain it all like I did here. I want to protect you like I tried to with my former real life friends, I want to promise that nothing bad is ever going to happen. But, I can't. I'll come back to AJ someday. I'm not going anywhere for now.

I will be here, forever. And I will remember you somehow, no matter where you are, if you're dead, or if you've long forgotten me. I wish you all the best of dreams tonight. Be safe.

P.S: Everytime I see Princess Luna, I think of my dear friends Nyteaerie, TheDarkEspeon and all of you who's names escape me. Please don't go.

I'm Not Dead.

*awkward silent pause* Hi guys! It's.... It's definitely been a while hasn't it? In case you were wondering.... I'm not dead. I've just been preoccupied by so many other things lately that I haven't had time for anything Animal Jam. I've had computer time, though. I'm on other sites - BunnyRace and Feralheart. Heard of BunnyRace? You can call it childish. I. DON'T. CARE. Because, to tell you the truth, people are a DARN lot nicer there. No trades - or scamming, or multiplayer games. (Besides racing your bunnies, but you have no control over that). You roleplay there and talk to others. I spend at least 6 hours on there. A day. I don't care WHAT YOU CALL IT because it's MUCH NICER THERE. And, Feralheart - much more people there. The only reason I still go is because of Nytefaerie. I'm not going to say I quit AJ, I say I'm taking a break from it. I have so many other things to deal with right now. So if you want to buddy me on BunnyRace or Feralheart, my users are below. Just tell me if you know about me from this post.

So... I might be posting on this once in a while. I check the blog EVERY DAY, so I can see/reply to any comments you have. Until next time....

We Miss You Nyte!

We Miss you Nyte! Come back so that I can see you again!

:(
