Down the memory lane...I finally got my hands on my old writings (from around 2004 and up) and I'm having more fun than I should

I'm from the school of Old Writings Are Shit, yet... I'm seriously tempted to post some of them here.
Anyway, in the meantime, I thought I'd spam you with some funny quotes I've gathered over the years.
"Yo. I was having this dream of meeting you guys here and didn't realize it wasn't real until Naruto ate me."
Hatake Kakashi ((C) Masashi Kishimoto) by fanartist. Just try to top this excuse.
"For five hundred bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free."
Nathan Algren from the Last Samurai
"Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes" = If you can read this, you're overeducated.

My visitor...EDIT 6: His name is Hektor now. Hahaha.... he will be coming back this evening and I sooooo hope that after a few days he will be coming back to my garden again so I can work on socializing him more and more. Keeping him inside now would not work... yet. But one thing after the other. He now has to learn how to trust me again and I promise to do my very best. If all this will work out and the allergy test for both me and my son will be negative, Hektor will be chipped with my information.

EDIT 5: Congrats to everyone who said, that Katze is a male... as you were right. So "she" is a "he" and he still is at the vet until tomorrow evening. He got his bits bewteen his legs removed and also they removed fleas and worms. he is not chipped and not tattooed which means that no one feels responsible for him... well, of course I do now.
There is also very sad news about him though.... his leg. He must have had an accident, for example with a car quite some time ago because indeed his leg has

Couldn´t say better myself.
These are facts what common yaoi lovers tend to ignore, and yaoi is not the same as gay sexual relationship.

Prehistoric Privates!Hey Group..
I just saw an interesting article on Discovery News.. http://news.discovery.com/history/prehistoric-privates-111111.html
Men in prehistoric Europe manipulated their privates with body art and piercings in ritual and to just fit in.

Paleolithic phallic art suggests that many early European men scarred, pierced and tattooed their penises.

The practice appears to have been most common in France and Spain around 12,000 years ago.

The meaning of the symbols remains a mystery, but many match images found on cave art from the same period.
Author Javier Angulo, chair of the Department of Urology at Hospital Universitario de Getafe in Spain, explains in the December issue of The Journal of Urology, that just like today, tattooing and manipulation of body parts have always functioned as a way for people to express themselves.
Angulo said that "Otzi and some mummies confirm tattoos were on their skin."
"Modern primitives did modify

Favourites Feature - InspirationSo we all do it, hit the Fave button and add work we like to our Favourites folders; but how often do you go back and look through what you've faved? Sit back and appreciate the art/writing?
Sometimes, I have to shamefully admit, that a work catches my eye, I hit Fave and quickly move on without leaving a comment.
There's a new group :iconFeatureChallenge: whose members create and post Journal Features thereby hopefully spreading the word/art of their fellow deviants to a wider audience.
So I'm starting out by featuring my faves. I'm going to take the time to go through each of the folders in turn and pick my favourite favourites from each.
So first up is my Inspiration folder. In the little blurb for this folder I state that 'Here I place conceptual or unusual works that speak to my soul.'
For me these are works that evoke an emotional reaction , even if it's just a laugh or a smile

This folder contains quite a few DD's so, whilst I love the

Garage in/Garage outHow do you become a better writer/artist?
Well, besides the obvious response of lots of practice (duh) my #1 answer is this:
Expose yourself to good writing/art.  Expose yourself to an eclectic range of good art.
There is so much crap out there on TV, online and what's left of bookstores that it's easy to see only crap art and think it's good.
"But art is in the eye of the beholder!" you say.
Yes I know.  And I agree, but there's also a standard of objective 'good' that nearly every accomplished writer/artist will agree exists.  We may not agree on what we like, but certain works transcend personal tastes - Michelangelo's Pieta, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Lucas' Star Wars, Mozart's symphonies, and David Bowie's works. These pieces of work are generally accepted by the great majority as masterpieces in their field/genre.  That doesn't mean they're perfect, but that they overwhelmingly impact the collecti

Can Art Stop H8?Hello Ppl..
Early last Friday.. An absolutely horrible event.. One of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history happened.
In Aurora, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.. James Holmes, a budding scientist, brimming with potential.. allegedly opened fire and set off gas canisters in a theater minutes into a premiere showing of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." The massacre left 12 people dead and 58 injured. A six year old girl, Veronica Moser, died in the shooting rampage.
Here on dA.. In this group.. We have a counter showing the flags of the countries of our visitors. Since April 14th this year this group has collected 140 flags on this counter. I want to say to everyone from each of these countries that I am indeed horrified by this event early Friday morning. I believe this is a more than ugly message for my country to send to the world.
Rather than this event in Colorado, I hope the world will judge the USA from an equally historical event that happened Saturday afternoo

RollerBoyJeremy's FANTASTIC Drow Makeup ProcessI asked :iconRollerBoyJeremy:~RollerBoyjeremy if I could include her step-by-step process for drow makeup application as a blog entry for the group and she gracefully obliged. Her knowledge has made a great impact on how I do my own makeup for costuming and these tips have saved me from a lot of headache and heartache. For anyone doing drow makeup for the first time, the following process will help you avoid make-up meltdown! And trust me… we've all been there! Without further ado...
********
STEP 1:
If you sweat A LOT, apply Mehron No sweat
http://www.stagesupply.com/cat--ProFACE-No-Sweat-Skin-Prep--PF1e_PFNoSweatSkinPrep.html
You can use this like an astringent, then let it dry.
********
STEP 2:
Using a patting method, apply your choice of cream makeup.
I like Ben Nye Clown series in black best, But Proface now has a cream that stands up really well. I had one of my sweaty guys wear it in a photo shoot all day and it held up amazingly.

Keep 'Em Guessing (Advice on Writing)Recently, I've had a couple of friends ask me to beta (aka edit) for them--and while these folks are excellent authors to whom I have to give very few notes, I've found myself becoming more of a critical reader in general. Even of published fiction. (And, as others who have beta'd for fellow writers might relate to, I've also become more critical--in a good way--of my own writing.)
I'm discovering that often what sets apart many decent aspiring authors from the professionals--aside from getting published in one form or another--is not style or sentence structure. It's also not an intriguing premise. I've come across many amateur works which have a compelling plot--the kind that makes me ridiculously jealous as a writer. What truly separates would-be writers from the pros is in how the story is revealed.
A common mistake with the uninitiated is to give away too much of the plot and characters too early. Yes, we have the story dancing in our heads, clawing at our skulls until we get it a

Wise WordsSomeone posted this on Tumblr today:
It was just what I needed. Part of the reason I've been having trouble making time for art is because, in the back of my head, I know what I draw will not even come close to the picture in my head. Right now, I'd say that I'm closer to being 10-20 years behind. But if I can close the gap to just 5 years, it'll be worth all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I also thought this quote could be applied to any creative field, including writing. I'm a much more polished writer than I used to be, but I still struggle getting the right words, the right style, the right tension to create on paper the mini-film I see in my mind. And once I improve, my brain is already coming up with more complex stories that I don't have the skills yet to transcribe properly.
Anyway. I think the lesson today is yes, we'll never reach the pinnacle, but it doesn't mean we stop climbing. Better is always better, even if it's not what we want it to be.

We did it!!The Shorty Awards have finally ended, and it seemed like it took forever! But in the end all of the hard work paid off... well its not "official" until they review everything and make the final announcements, but barring anything strange... we MADE IT!! @HiddenRealmEnt placed 6th and we are in the Finals!! SO it looks like the Nuada Petition is heading to NYC on March 26th WOOT!!!
We have all ready made a big noise with this... now its time to attack Universal Studios and MAKE THEM SEE what we are doing!!! Give us our movie... give us our ELF!!!
Thank you soooooo much for everyone who helped! ((hugs hugs hugs)) Love to you ALL!!

My cat loves me because...

Mon Nov 5, 2012, 11:25 AM

My cat loves me because

... he cares for me weight since he always takes the sausage of my bread when I don´t look.

... he finds my feet beautiful, especially the toes that he loves to play with while I try to sleep.

... he allows me to touch him, no matter what I am doing when he made that decision.

... he allows me to live with him and sleep in the same bed.

... he simply sits down on my keyboard if again I have played too much Diablo III.

... he does not want me to smoke - the ashtray is "removed" quite often from my table.

... he brings half dead mice into my living room so I have something to play with too before I shall eat it.

... he always finds his perfect sleeping position right in front of my face so I can see him when I fall asleep.

... he relaxes so much while being pet on my lap that the farts continue to roll out of him.

... he simply lays down on my papers when I have been working too much.

... he loves to tell me how his day has been when I come home.

... he purrs even louder for me when I feel stressed, sad or tired.

And why does your cat love you?

Hahahaa too cute! True too.

My cat loves me: Because she likes to warm my seat right when she knows I'm about to sit in it.

~Aya-Creuset Nov 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

My cat loves me because...

She still came to me even when I didn't like her...

She was brave enough to get me, until she won my heart...

She looks for me when I am at work, and she still waits in the backyard for me to come back...

She come around and take care of me when I'm sick... (Really!!!)

She considers me first to play, and tries to convince me until I agree to share my time with her, even if I am really tired. (An amazing skill, I might add...)

Hugs and kisses from Chile

*hawthorne-cat Nov 6, 2012 Professional General Artist

my cat loves me b/c he
tells me the importance of stretching by reaching up my leg and pulling with his claws
sleeps on top of me in case Im not warm enough under my sheets and comforter
checks my armpits to make sure my antiperspirant is still working
gives me constant agility checks but moving to just where I want to step while walking
sits beside me on the couch to let me know he approves of my choose of movies or tv programs
he shares his toys with me... putting them underneath my sheets and comfort to play with
he put extra cat fur on all my clothes so than when I go out of the house I can still take him with me
charges out open doors so I remember to go out and play...
specially at night so I can appreciate the moon while looking for him
plays with the dog so I dont have to as much
sleeps on my feet under my desk so they wont get cold
sleeps on my mouse arm so it would get cold
guards my bed so that monsters dont move in while Im wake down stair
makes sure to get into the basement as often as possible to check for possible mouse infestations

Titou : I give to eat

Arcan : I let up on my back
Titou : because without me, it would have impounded
Arcan : Because without me, it would still be in my mother
Titou and Arcan : Because i love them, even when they are completly stupid ^^

~Athreana Nov 5, 2012

The cat of my ex always followed us (except when it slept

) and started to clean itself as the first step of his sleeping routine. He washed, and then by the time he found a comfortable position for himself and closed his eyes, we finished in that room, and went out. So he got up, followed us, and started to clean himself, without reclamation.

*Tenebrian Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

So cute!

My cat loves me because

... they always insist I go outside with them. They hate being outside alone.

... they sleep on me to let me know it's time to wake up.

... they get my pj's ready for me by kneading them into a messy, rumply pile.

... they want to sleep in the same room I'm in. If I move into a different room in the house, they move to the same room.

... they remind me when I've been on the computer too long by standing in front of my monitor, or meowing by my chair.

... they let me know when they need my attention by staring at me or walking across my keyboard when I'm trying to type.

... they taught me that "meow" means "now"

... my boy taught me that my water is the best water ever. It's the cleanest and the tastiest.

... my girl taught me that happiness comes in playing with simple things like bottlecaps and twist ties.
