Ok so much for being "back"....heh, yeah, life is just WAY to busy for me to really sit down and do art anymore and be a frequent Devient. College studies have consumed my social and artistic life!!! But hey, if I can pop out an occasional piece or doodle, I'll be sure and post it up here =] I miss this place! So many friends on here that I've neglected. To everyone who reads this, I want you to know I'm really sorry for being such a flaky Deviant friend, I'll be better about visiting more from now on, I promise. Ok? Forgive me?

Alrighty then, lets play a little catch up, shall we? A month before senior prom and 3 days before the one year anniversary of my relationship with Tanner, he dumped me. He had no real reason as to why except that he "doesn't feel the same" and decided it would be best to end us. Turns out, the reason he dumped me was my exact suspicion: another girl. See, there had been this chick Tanner got to know during Thorn (epic easter play) rehearsals and became fairly good friends with. The three of us hung out a lot and I tried to like her, but I couldn't help but feel she was flirting with my man. Even while all three of us were together, so right under my nose, she was making googly eyes and playfully starting tickle- fights. I didn't approve of her company so much after those started. Trying not to be the "jealous-bitch-girlfriend" I expressed my concern with the relationship Tanner had with Jessica and asked that he please be more aware of how he's acting around her, because his character around her was almost identical to how he was around me: a gentleman, very comforting, fun, funny, sweet etc. and that he should try and make it his personality around Jess more like a "just friends" thing. Never banned him from seeing her or said that he stop being her friend, just nicely asked if he would be aware. He said I had nothing to worry about and that he would try....and I trusted him, because he had NEVER given me a reason to mistrust him, so I honestly fully trusted him. And I saw an effort from then on to be more of a boyfriend to me and just a friend to her. I just didn't trust Jessica. This when on for about a week, then Tanner just stopped hanging out with me. Then he dumped me. During the break up, he said there was no drive behind it except that he didn't feel the same way towards me anymore. Of course, i asked if Jessica had anything to do with it and he SWORE to me she didn't (and he probably believed she didn't, but I knew she did. Us girls can be very manipulative/discrete about things.) So yeah, we ended with that. I respected his decision and just hoped that someday I would see the good behind it. So we stopped all contact for 3 months. Him and Jessica got in a relationship only 2 weeks after the break up. I kept in touch with all my other friends I had met through Tanner though, and found that they missed the relationship just as much as I did, and also found that they were VERY annoyed with Jessica! They couldn't stand being around her! So in a way, I felt a little better about things...idk, just knowing people hate your ex's new girlfriend and that they liked you with him better is kind of a victory. So I pressed on with life and left Tanner in the dust. Graduation time came around and I was invited to a good friend's graduation party. Tanner was invited too. I hadn't talked to or seen him in 3 solid months. Things were a little awkward around him at first, but suddenly, all uncomfortableness stopped and it was like we were best friends again. We talked, laughed, teased, hung out just like the good old days! It was FABULOUS! The next day, I hear from his mom that Jessica had dumped him. That's right, SHE dumped HIM. Why? Because he talked to me at the party. Dead serious, Jessica went ape-shit about Tanner talking to me at a large get together and told him he was never allowed to be in the same room as me. His response to that was "No. She's one of my best friends. You have no authority to tell me who I'm allowed to be friends with. I'm sorry Jessica, but you can't do that." Then, she dumped him! And he was ok with it, haha. So from that point on, he and I have become best friends again. The relationship we have now is just like is used to be except that there isn't the boyfriend/girlfriend aspect to it. We've discussed dating again, but both agree that since college is our next step in life, we had better keep single so we can focus on other priorities and keep us from getting tied down in a long distance relationship. So that's where we're keeping things for now =]

So with that, I  Graduated high school rocking a 3.8 GPA in May 2011. Now, currently attending Colorado State University in Fort Collins, studying pre-veterinary/ biomedical sciences. And it's kicking my butt haha. The great thing about college though, is that it's the rest of your life. I mean, think about that for a second...there's no real deadline to graduate or get all your studies done. You learn at your own pace (granted you want to try and keep up with the smarties, but there's honestly no rush), and you actually care about what you're learning, so you take time to actually comprehend what's being taught. It's a fantastic thing, really. College life is pretty great! And Fort Collins campus is, by far, the BEST! Hands down! There's so much to do, places to go, things to see! Everyone here is so outgoing and outdoors-ey! Since I moved in, I've met more than 20 people who share similar activity interests as me, so we go rock climbing, shooting, hiking, swimming, horse back riding, xbox-ing, and just loads of shenanigans!!! Oh, and the men here are pretty damn sexy...lots of shirtless athletes running around. What more could you ask for?

Long time no see, ey? Haha, yeah I kind of forgot about DevArt for a while ..Ok, so a couple years is more that just a while , but hey, I'm back! And OMG I can't believe how many deviations and messages were in my inbox! Any who, lots and lots and lots has happened since I last updated my account. For starters, I am now 17 and driving like a maniac in my new truck . Junior year is totally rockin my socks cuz I love all my advance bio classes and I have my sights set on a good college to start my veterinary career. I haven't really been doin much art lately, but that'll change because my schedule isn't so jam-packed like it used to be. How did that happen you ask? Well, something very unfortunate happened only about a week ago. Last week, Cricket (you all remember her, my beautiful appaloosa mare I was trianing?) got into a stupid brawl with some other mares and ended up breaking her leg. The vet tried everything, but there was no way my baby would ever walk again...so I had to let her go Dude, it was the hardest thing to sit there and hold my one and only, my best friend, as the life drained out of her. I will never forget the look she had in her eyes, full of pain and love, and then slowly glazing over... rolling to the back of her head.
Aw crap, now I'm all teary eyed ...gimme a minute.


Ok back to a happy-er topic. So other major events that have happened in the years that I've been away from DevArt are: my first kiss getting my license can truck (I'll post pictures later), my first airsoft gun, and the arrival of my baby brother! So yeah =] how have you all been?? Comment and lets catch up! I missed y'all a great deal lol and I'm doing my best to view/favorite all your deviations as well as read all your recent journals.

LOVE MY LIPS

Narrator: "One day while talking with Dr. Archibald, Larry confronts one
of his deepest fears ..."

Larry: "If my lips ever left my mouth, packed a bag and headed south,
that'd be too bad, I'd be so sad."

Archibald: "I see. That'd be too bad, you'd be so sad?"

Larry: "That'd be too bad. If my lips said "adios, I don't like you I
think you're gross," that'd be too bad, I might get mad."

Archibald: "That'd be too bad, you might get mad?"

Larry: "That'd be too bad. If my lips moved to Duluth, left a mess and
took my tooth, that'd be too bad, I'd call my Dad."

Archibald: "That'd be too bad, you'd call your Dad?"

Larry: "That'd be too bad."

Archibald: "Hold it. Did you say your father? Fascinating! So what
you're saying is that if your lips left you ..."

Larry: "That'd be too bad, I'd be so sad, I might get mad, I'd call my
Dad. That be too bad."

Archibald: "That'd be to bad?"
Larry: "That'd be too bad."

Archibald: "Why?"

Larry: "Because I love my lips." [Scatting]

Archibald: "Oh my ... This is more serious than I thought. Larry, tell
me, what do you see here?"

Larry: "Um, that looks like a lip."

Archibald: "And this?"

Larry: "It's a lip!"

Archibald: "And this?"

Larry: "It's a lip, it's a lip, it's a lip lip lip! It's a lip, it's a
lip, it's a lip lip lip! It's a lip, it's a lip, it's a lip lip lip.
Liiiiiiiiiiiips. Lip lip lip."

Archibald: "Larry, tell me about your childhood."

Larry: "When I was just two years old I left my lips out in the cold and
they turned blue. What could I do?"

Archibald: "They turned blue, what could you do?"
Larry: "Oh they turned blue. On the day I got my tooth I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth. She had a beard ... and it felt weird."

Archibald: "My, my. She had a beard and it felt weird?"

Larry: "She had a beard. Ten days after I turned eight, got my lips
stuck in a gate. My friends all laughed. And I just stood there until
the fire department came and broke the lock with a crow bar and I had to
spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got
stung by a bee - right on the lip - and we couldn't even talk to each
other until the fifth week because both our lips were so swollen, and
when he did start speaking he just spoke Polish and I only knew like
three words in Polish except now I know four because Oscar taught me the
word for lip: Oofta."

Archibald: "Your friends all laughed ... Usta? How do you spell that?"

Larry: "I don't know."

Archibald: "So what you're saying is that when you were young ..."

Larry: "They turned blue, what could I do? She had a beard and it felt
weird. My friends all laughed ... Oofta!"

the end

wow long time no see eh? lol, life's been so crazy i've almost forgotten about dA. sadly, i don't have many new deviations, but that will change soon now that school's out :woot: . so in the very long time i was away from dA, alot has happened...mainly boyfriend/girlfriend stuffs: i had my first boyfriend ,steve, but he turned out to be a sex addict, so i dumped him. but we still chill and act like notihg ever happened, so he's like the brother i never had. lol, he even calls my mom "mom" haha, he's awesome. then i met this guy, Tay,  from michigan who had a girlfriend, so i didn't really go after him. but then  he and his bitchy gf had a major fight and broke up after being together for about a year. almost imediately after the breakup, he asked me out!! we were like peas and carrots he really turned out to be my dream guy, only problem was he lived in michigan , so i never got to see, kiss, or hold him. we stayed together for almost a month when it became too hard for me to be so far away,  so we kinda broke up...which was really sad really really really sad, but was the best for both of us. we still loved eachother tons

it was all good for about a week when i get a call from my bestie, she had a grave tone to her voice; very calm, but filled with worry, "tay was in an accident". my heart sank when i heard the news. every day from then on, i worried and prayed he would get better, but every day, he was getting worse...
April 28, 2008 early morning he died. earlier before the accident his grandma had passed away, putting Tay in a state of deep depression (he was very close to her, closer than most) he turned to alcohol for comfort and was driving drunk the night of the accident.


i loved him more than anyone could ever know. he is in good hands now. rest in peace Tay
