As summer wraps itself up...I can't help but feel a little sad -- I love West Coast life soooo much!! I can't believe I ever lived anywhere but here in BC. This summer has had it's fair share of heart-ache, but I found my true love in the place.

School starts in one week and I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be nice to have something positive and productive to really focus on.

Since returning to dA a few months ago, I haven't got a lot of action on any of my work. It's mildly disappointing... The excitement of a few years earlier has gone away. When I first joined, I had something new to respond to every day. Wah wah, I know I'm whining -- I guess the only way to change that is to go out there and participate a little more.

If you happen to be reading this -- how about check out one of my recent additions and let me know what you think? I only ask for your honesty Also, have a lovely week full of sun and good times with great people!

As an Ontario girl originally, this BC life is quickly growing on me. Now that it's beautiful sunny weather, I thank the stars daily that I'm able to live out here. Yesterday AND the day before I went to the beach with my family. My sister is visiting from Ontario with my little niece, Ella -- and we are having soooo much fun. She can walk and is starting to talk now!! (very selectively, and with marbles in her mouth still)

Yesterday I floated in the Pacific and it felt amazing. The salty water helps me stay up -- for some reason, I have a hard time floating. I can sink right down to the bottom if I relax myself. In fresh water, I especially sink...you'll find me in the shallow end

Today I'm going to pick up my devArt sweatshirt!! Yesss, I'm a huge geek and ordered a hoodie online. I've been on this site for four years (on and off)so Why not?! It better fit...I ordered a medium -- hope it's not too small!

This weekend my family is abandoning me and going to Tofino for the weekend. Soo jealous, but I have to work. It's always nice to have some alone time, anyway.

The sun is shining everyday, hope the clouds aren't in your way!

If it weren't for you, I'd have nothing to write about.
Sounds like I don't challenge myself enough as a writer...
That's why I got a subscription I guess. We always feel devoted to something that we've put actual hard-earned money into.

One thing that always bothers me about posting work on here, is I feel like such an amateur. Especially when picking my category :-S I have no idea what type of poem I've written, what kind of style...heck, sometimes I read them and think, "what the heck was THAT all about?".

They just come out sometimes, like vomit -- messy words -- and where they lay is where they stay.

I'd like to challenge myself to try some new things with writing though. Description is fun for me, so I must be able to use that in more ways than how I 'feel' about a dude.
I mean, really -- one of these guys is going to be "the one" -- and I won't be able to use heart-ache as an outlet anymore

Goodnight, but I'll bee back sooner this time, cuz I paid for this shyt!!

Living in the Vancouver area now. Moving has so many different emotions involved with it...it's no wonder I seem to slip back into writing every time I do.

Positive changes are on the horizon though, and I'm excited to see which direction my new surroundings will lead me in now )

Getting my fill of everyone's work. Awesome as usual. So many of the artists I watch are completely diligent...I admire that. Keep on everyone.

Just didn't want my last journal entry to be from a year ago... :0(
This past year has been one of my least creative ones to date.
Let's see if I can change that around from now.

Let the juices flow!!
