First off, I want to apologize to those I'm watching; I know I haven't checked your deviations in nearly a week, but it was FINALS, dang it, and I was tired and stressed. But trust me, I shall get to them...probably tomorrow, though, since I still have to reorganize my room back at home, now that I've moved out of the dorms for summer. But please don't feel abandoned - I'm still watching you, me pretties! (Wow, I think that last Intro. to Logic test did something screwy to my head...)

Anyhow, my subscription showed up the other day, and I found, happily, that it turned out to be six months rather than three. (Thank you, benevolent I worship at your administrative feet! ) And of course, that posed the perfect opportunity to screw around with CSS and those delightful little Meez. So now I have my own mad little virtual Tess slashing away at a violin (dear Louis, my wooden sweet from New Orleans) and a niftier journal, assuming I don't screw up the copy/past function.

And I've also decided to start featuring people, since it only seems fair.

So, for the first two features, we have:


This Australian darling was my third watcher (and considering the first two were my boyfriend and a friend, she was my first real watcher). She was also the first person to feature me, and she has always been wonderfully supportive. Plus her poems are delightful. Indulge:



BladedSpear dwells in Singapore and writes novels...and then actually publishes them, which is certainy more than I can say for myself. (Indeed, Sojourn went up for sale on Amazon about a month ago. Much awesomeness.) In addition, this fellow has been kind enough to write a piece around my own dear demented demon, Twirrel, whom you will find various drawings of throughout my gallery. Please do check it out. 'Tis marvelous.


And I suppose that's all for news. Well, that and the fact my boyfriend now had neon blue hair. Which , I must admit, it is an interesting development. Now an absurd number of people have been hypothesizing that
a) He lost a bet.
b) He took a dare.
c) He's on drugs.
None of which are true. Mainly, he was bored.

Cheers!
