Not that ya'll wanna hear bout me lol but Here goes nothin'
P.S.: A thousand apologies for my long absence here on dA, except for some very rare occasions I am on here every day, I'm one of those people that never logs out haha. I've just been disgustingly busy and lazy and the combination of the two means no artwork for my loyal watchers =[ Though since Tennis season has ended I'm about to have a lot more free time so start expecting a poop-load of new work!!!!

Following =bitchinblack's example and writing my journal for the self-promotion month. For details on this, see $Moonbeam13's journal.

1.Who are you?
I'm a senior in high school counting down the days till I leave those 4 years of hell behind me and start college. I want to major in photography and journalism, and am slightly terrified of the fact that it will be a VERY hard job to get... I'm first and foremost and artist but athletics are important to me, too. I work part time on a horse ranch and would love to ride for college; I surf and run in my free time and am in love with tennis ^^ As for art, I’ve been a martial artist for three, going on four years. Music keeps me going through the day, I definitely could not live without it

2.What is your artistic passion?
Like any aspiring photographer, I have a constant, almost insatiable thirst to capture the "perfect" picture. And by perfect I mean the weird, the beautiful, the ugly, the sorrowful, the amazing and bizarre moments of life that are, inevitably, very hard to caputre haha. Besides photography, writing is my passion in life. My writing skills have blossomed since I took a creative writing class in my sophomore year, and I know wherever my life takes me, with photography or anything else, I'll always be writing.

3.How did you get into art?
It's funny, because even when I was teeeeny tiny (even though I still am lol) I was always writing little stories about my stuffed animals and my pets, and when I got into middle school and "stole" my mom's piece of crap digital camera, I felt compelled to capture anything and everything that peeked my interest. And now, those are the only things I could see myself doing in the future. Art, from photography, writing, martial arts and of course music, is the best way I can express myself.

4.How do you inspire yourself?
With other art, of course Music from my favorite artists gets me in the perfect mood to create, while the amazing works of the people I watch here on dA get me inspired and motivated to challenge myself to create something better than my last piece. Nature provides for me the most though, with never-ending inspiration and beauty to learn from.

5.Where would you like to see yourself in five years?
Hmm...*thinks hard* In five years I wiiiilll...prolly just be getting out of college o.O Oh gawd I CANNOT think that far ahead haha. Well...I hope to be seeing my novel being turned into a movie hahah That's probably my number one far-off dream lol...I hope to have a steady beginner job as a photographer and/or writer for a magazine by then...and to definitely have a guy by then T.T Oy haha

Guess that's it? So tired right now =_= Talk to y'all soon!!
