Settling In • Busy
After searching since literally the beginning of February, my mom finally picked a place she liked, and we’re all settled into the new apartment. It’s a nice switch! And great to be settled and stuff. I have this little...nook, corner, thing in my shared bedroom that’s all mine, I love it so haha it’s like my Avii-cocoon or something! And I honestly couldn’t be happier, actually. ‘just wanted to update you guys, and pretty much get rid of my last journal… it keeps staring at me! Lately I’ve been working on photo-shoots, shooting different head-shots, and building my portfolio in order to submit myself to different photography sessions and summer classes. Which should be FUN! So life’s been busy.

Italian • Manuscript • =Avatarone3’s graduation
I’ve also started learning Italian!! All of my family is from Italy and still is there, and a very good friend of my family and movie producer is moving close to us from Italy, so he’ll start to teach me Italian fluently and weekly this summer. So by the end of the year I should hopefully be able to speak some-what well Italian in order to better communicate with cousins I didn’t know I had! LOL. Getting used to my camera more and more and more too! And, submitting my final manuscript to my agent at the end of the month? YES PLEASE. So nervous but SO EXCITED! Also, everyone go attack with hugs please!! SHE’S GRADUATING! Lucky her. I’m so ready to graduate it’s not even funny. I’m really proud of her and will be going to her graduation this month! It’ll be awesome to see her again. Go congratulate her!!! Those of you who have already graduated know how exciting it is LOL.

In need of Inspiration • Features •
Trying to gather inspiration and stuff… SO. DIFFICULT. I’ve been a bit GaGa obsessed lately too lol. Vynzie () turned me onto “Alejandro” from her, which I had heard before but never really gotten HOOKED on until now. Her interviews are so amazing! Totally love her. Does anyone have anything that really gets them inspired ALL the time? I’m at a loss, this sucks. BUT. SUMMER is close too!!! Anyone ready for finals? No? me neither.
Also, I decided to do a feature, since I saw had added this I couldn’t help but not do so myself!!

1) If you are one of the first 15 (16 if you include the person I take this from/was tagged by) people to comment on this journal entry, I will add you to the list of features!

2) For each of those people I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list! If you would rather choose the deviations I feature, I’d be happy to do that too!

3) If you answer, you're supposed to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger(me) on the first place, completing this way the list with 15 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone and also to get a free feature! Can’t go wrong, right? Right!!


Some come on guys, get your features!

TAGGER: Erik actually has really unique pieces in his gallery, is an amazing friend, and A LOT of fun to talk to! and... shhh... he's bald too!
FEATURES:

COMMENTER 1: DAX! and I have been friends for almost 3yrs. His Nikon Camera skills never cease to amaze me, his photography work is incredible and is always getting better.
FEATURES:

COMMENTER 2: has always been a fantastic source of lit competition for me, and always has me up my game. Her own work is fantastic. You'll never be disappointed! Her short stories are the best.
FEATURES: I question the man  who drinks blood as his wine.  His intent not of murder,  not in his mind.   
He sees not death,  not pain, not harm.  He seeks out nothing,  that's past his heart.   
From what we see,  an evil, no doubt,  the man who kill,  and keeps it out.   
Am I to see this?  For me to realise,  to see myself  from your own eyes?   
I am not a monster,  I say to you,  but if I am,  oh what to do? Stress. Stress was something I could deal with, wasn't it? I've been stressed out before. Gotten to the point where I couldn't stand being around people. To the point where I merely wanted to sit in silence, to sit in the dark, with no distractions whatsoever. I've been exhausted, too. People said I had dark rings around my eyes, but I usually ignored the comments. I lived in stress, didn't I?  
Then what was my god damned problem?   
My bedroom barely helped. The pale gray of the walls and its modern look felt cold. I had nothing decorating the walls. There were no windows. Even the bed was gray. It was usually comforting. &nb
