Donate to a good Cause

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 27, 2010, 8:11 AM


I don't usually voice this, but I thought it was important.  As most of you know there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  It's a really bad one, and tons of animals are suffering from it.  I found a site that takes donations to help these animals.  This spill needs to be cleaned up or it could really mess up the ecosystem.  

Here's a link to anyone who wishes to donate: [link]

I've already donated and hope it will help out some.  It wasn't much, but I'm not exactly rolling in money.  If you would like to try to donate to other sites, go ahead, but be carefull.  There are fradulant sites out there just wanting to take your money, they won't actually use it for any relief funds.  

Why the sudden interest?  I was tired of hearing people go on and on about how horrible the disaster was, but not doing anythig.  So I searched and found out what I could do about it.  

Thank you for reading this.  Hope it didn't sound to demanding, it's just a request, not a demand.

This is a journal, nothing more....


Finally feeling OK after a few days of Nausia, and major Headaches.  I'm supposed to be getting something for the headaches, hopefully it works.  I didn't have one today, so I was happy.  :P

Shifted through every single one of my messages and finally got my message center cleaned out. I really shouldn't get so far behind.  The only thing I'm fast at is responding to comments.  So every comment will be replied to, just don't expect me to thank for every single Favorite.  I will do that here:  Thank you for the favorites!!!  I really really appreciate each and every single one.  

As everyone can see I'm getting back into fractals.  But I'm still having a hell of a time coming up with ones I like.  I usually spend hours on just one.  

Well, anyway, I think that's it.  I still havn't gotten a donator feature up, because I'm too lazy at the moment, and very tired from going through a million deviations.  (Okay, so not a million, but just over 2,0000) I PROMISE I will get one up next week.

Thanks again for the support guys!!  I'm coming up on 30,000 pageviews, Horray!  I won't do a Kiriban this time since no one really seems to care, but if you happen to get my 30,000th pageview, just tell me and you might get something, like points...or maybe a sub.  :P  

Bye for now!

So, nothing's wrong with me?

Journal Entry: Thu Jun 17, 2010, 3:53 AM


I fainted at work on Tuesday, then ended up having a seizer.  The other manager ended calling an amblance.  I really don't remember too much.  Spent the night at the hospital, and nothing else happened that night. Doctor came in and didn't seem overly concerned.  Told me I got up to fast after I fainted and it ended up making me have a seizer.  Said nothing about my fainting.  I really don't think fainting in the first place is a good sign.  But since all my vitals were fine, they eventually sent me home.  Of course I had to have another MRI...I knew that wouldn't tell them nothing.  But when I refused to get another one he insisted.  I'm still wondering what to do.  This isn't normal.  Why does everyone refuse to see that something is wrong?  It gets very frustrating.  I don't wanna even think about how much the bill is going to be.  

Well, I guess I may have talked way too much.  I'm just really frustrated at the moment.  

Hope everyone is having a good day, I'm probably going to go back to bed.  Couldn't sleep a wink the other night.  

bye for now.

My poor fishy friend

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 4, 2010, 9:07 AM
Well, I decided to write a new journal.  First off, my poor Beta fish died today.  He was almost 4 years old, so I suppose it was his time to go.  He was my husband and I's first pet, since we couldn't have any animals in the rental house.  He will be missed...

Last week I went on Vacation to South Dakota.  It was awsome!  However, why does everyone want your money???  lol.  Every single place we went to had outragious admission fees it seemed, all except Mount Rushmore, it cost only $10, and that's for the whole year!  I don't recall anywhere in Nebraska having such high admission fees, and there is alot of cool stuff here.  The Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska  costs less then Reptile Gardens. The  Henry Doorly Zoo is wayyyyyy bigger and is much better.  So I dunno, maybe everyone is South Dakota just like their money.  (No offense to anyone who lives there, it is a beautiful place)  The badlands were really cool, and a weeks pass only cost $15, which isn't bad at all.  But other places in the big cities seemed to be a bit steep.  

Anyway, I'm going to continue to post Vacation pics, and fractals.  I'm even trying out some HDR effects on my photo's. Tell me what you guys think!  

As far as points go, I said that if anyone donated they'd get a special feature.  I'm going to try and post them in the donation box here sometime.  So keep a look out!  

Time for a quick feature for some recent favorites of mine:

A slightly better approach...

Journal Entry: Thu May 20, 2010, 5:38 PM
I'm still not inspired as i should be, and honestly one shouldn't force it.  :XD:  But I've been slowly trying to make some fractals again.  I love taking photo's still and there will be some in my gallery.  I feel it's better for me to slowly churn out fractals rather then do a made rendering spree.  It actually allows for some diversity if I spend up to 2 hours on a fractal rather then just half an hour. (or less, I've been known to spit them out in 10 minutes)

I'll be going on vacation this coming week, so I won't be around.  I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures!  We're going to Mount Rushmore and the black hills.  I havn't been there since I was 12.  The funny thing is that it's not really that far away.  :XD:


Anyway, a more positive journal.

See ya!

Ignore my bitching, please!

Journal Entry: Wed May 12, 2010, 6:44 PM
I feel bad about my last journal, so I'll make a new one.  I'm still not going to put up any new fractals.  I have no desire to at the moment.  I want to explore other forms of art more.  So I'm posting some new stuff in hopes I'll fall in love with something new.  I still love making photo manipulations, so I'll make some.  They'll be mostly of eyes, because they are a bit easier, and I love making them!  My full photo manipulations seem to be ignored, so I'll not do any right now.

I don't know why I've lost my desire for fractals, it may be because I just can't think up anything new.  I want to get back to my old self and make things from blank flames all the time.  Right now all I do is open old flames of mine and manipulate them.  They may have been made from nothing a while ago, but they seem to be the same old thing to me.  

Anyway, sorry again.  I like to bitch sometimes, don't we all???

:P

Um, okay. No more fractals...

Journal Entry: Wed May 12, 2010, 3:34 PM
Er, I was going to come back but it doesn't look like it matters.  I'll keep my group going and active but I'm not going to bother posting anything here, not now.  I'm half tempted to set up another account for photo's, or just post them on my other account.  Am I just known for fractal art?  lol.  Of course that doesn't even impress anyone anymore.  So I'm not going to even bother posting any fractals.

I'm sorry for the negative attitude.  I just don't feel like there is enough enthusiasm going to keep at this.  

So that's it.  I'm done for now.  Unless someone begs for something new I'm not posting anymore fractals for a while.  I'm no good at it anymore.  

I'll try and go through my watcher's deviations (almost 6,0000)  No thank you's necessary.  I like faving stuff.

What the hell?  I'm going to post photo's.  My decision.  I like taking photographs, and that's what I'll post.  

That's if for now I guess.  Sorry if it seems like I'm acting like a big baby, but I'm really feeling down right now.

Taking a Break

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 21, 2010, 3:18 PM
I've got no inspiration, or time.  So I'm going to be taking a short break.  Or a long one, it depends on how motivated I may become.  

I will still log in to manage the G.I. Joe club, but other then that I'll probably be very quiet.  



That's it I guess. Be good while I'm away!

Bye.

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 1, 2010, 5:50 AM
Logged in and forgot it was April fools day.  lol.  What a suprise I saw.  First off I go to messages and see you can give out Llama's.  I got 3.  :P

Then I noticed someone had a Team Edward icon.  I go what???  Then I look and see everyone has a new icon that says Team somthing.  What do I get???  Team Seeker???  Richard Rahl can kiss my ass.  I'm not on his team.  Now if they'd just have a Team Jagang...(he hasn't been introduced to the show yet)  I'm going to say this again.  I'd much rather read the books then watch the show.  :P


So Happy April Fools day!  lol!  Luckily I get to go to work in a couple hours and not have to worry about all this madness.  :XD:

No one caught my pageview..so no one gets the free premium membership.  I would have even accepted anything over...if someone would have just noted me!  So this is the last one I'll do.  There just isn't a good enough response.  :P

Anyway, my head is really hurting, so I think I'll lay down.  I am now caught up with all the comments.  Though I have over 1,000 deviations to skim through.  Guess that's what I get for watching so many clubs.  XD


See ya.

Did you know?

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 14, 2010, 11:45 AM


That I have another account that I leave sit around?  I have been a member of DA for 6 years!!!  I just don't go out promoting my old account.  Anyway, if you really want to know what a strange person I am visit here :iconchrystiana: I guess I mostly kept that under wraps because I wanted to start over.  But now I realize I shouldn't have been ashamed.  I'm going to try and revive the account.  

I've also been thinking of making a group.  How much do they cost to make?  I heard it was like $60 a year, is that true?  I havn't even tried yet.  lol.  

Anyway, Happy Valentines day I guess.  I've never been crazy about the holiday, even if I do have a special someone.  I just remember in school everyone getting balloons and flowers and me getting nothing.  :(  lol, that was years and years ago, but it still haunts me.... :XD:


Hope everyone is having a good day.

Almost to 25,000 pageviews

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 7, 2010, 6:15 PM


Holy crap, already??  Okay, honestly it's about 500 off.  But at the rate I'm going it'll be there soon.

:XD:

If you catch my 25,000th pageview you get a prize!  Not like anyone cares, but I thought I'd just throw it out there.  

Also, thank you to everyone who has been featuring me lately!  I really appreciate it!!!  :hug:  btw, I have over 350 watchers now!  Thanks to everyone for their support!  You guys are awsome!


Today was the first day I was a manager all day, all 9 hours.  It was a really busy day today, and I was running around like crazy!  With this job I'll be working alot, so I don't know how much time I'll have for Deviant art.  We'll see....

Anyway, I think that's about it.

Catch you guys later!

I love Amazon.com again!  :XD:  I ordered G.I. Joe season 1.3 today and figured it would come till Thursday.  It came today!!!  It was just released today!!  Now I have to try and wait to watch it until my husband comes home, or he'll get mad.  He loves the show too.  lol.  

I know, I'm like 25, but G.I. Joe kicks ass!!!!  :P

I'm currently training for the management job, and trying to work in my current area.  It's crazy!  I was running around alot on Sunday, my legs were killing me by the end of the day.  For some reason I havn't been having really bad pains in them as of late.  I suppose that's a good thing.  Although I've become very light headed at times, and occasionally have horrible headaches.  More often the usually anyway.  But I can't do anything about it, so I'll just have to live with it.  The Doctors never know what is going on....

Anyway, more cool news!  I added this deviation to to the group [link] started out with 42 favs, next thing I know it's 58 and counting!!!  Doesn't work with my fractals when submitting to that club, but they sure do love manipulations!  :P  

Anyway, I think that's it.  Thanks everyone for the favs and comments!  I'll try to thank as many people as I can for favs, but know I really appreciate the support!!!!

:glomp:

Have a great day!  I am now going to try and paint the living room.  I hate painting!!!!  :P

About that poll...

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 27, 2010, 9:27 AM
I'm doing polls to see how well people know me, so that's the reason I posted that one.  It's okay if you don't know my real name, because I can't remember names worth a crap.  Especially with 330 watchers.  :XD:

But a hint, just look at my main page and you'll find my name in 3 different spots.  It's just a fun poll, so no worries.  I may ask more questions later, just for fun.  


Good news, I think I got the management job.  He had me sign some papers, just to make sure I'm not a cirminal.  So I'm pretty sure it won't come back red flagged, so I'll have the job.  :XD:


features

:thumb151313869: :thumb150721353: :thumb145933999:


There are quite a few features here!  If you have been featured and prefer not to be, just note me and I'll remove your work.  

Thank you!

*EDIT*

IF anyone wants to read a little rant:

Used to be a big fan of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.  THey made a really bad show about the series.  I just found out the ruined it even more!  Richards power was given to him?  WTF?  He was born with his special gift...what the hell is wrong with the producers.  Introducing characters way too early???  Grrr....I don't even want to know what they'll do to Jagang if they get that far.  Don't ruin my favorite bad guy, please!!!  :XD:

Read the books, forget the show!  :P

How come everything I think is good ends up not being that way?  Why is that???

Sorry it's been one of those days.  But if I actually say what's on my mind everyone will come after me with pitchforks and torches.  So if You really want to know who's getting under my skin, note me.  I'll respond, unless you're the one under my skin.  :XD:



btw, I do appreciate all my watchers and friends.  You guys rock.  I'm just having a moment.  It will pass.  I hope.

~Christina

btw, I applied for a management position at work.  Havn't heard anything back yet. I applied because a couple people suggested I should.  However, I am not a born leader, this could be interesting...lol.
