________________________________________
I will tag these people.

1. I'm a Pagan that's able to use lv1 Raike, basically the real version of "heal" from FF7. Making me a real life white witch..

2. I have a leaders disposition, love to be someone who people look to for answers and protection.

3. I'm a plant hoarder, can't have enough of em. But then forget sometimes and X_X goes the plant... That's the good part about spring, leave nature do it's stuff.. In Winter, I have my hands FULL!

4. I started learning how to draw by being one of those Tracing freaks.. I stole others artwork by tracing it and calling it my own.. Obviously I don't do that anymore.. But yeah, biggest darkest secret!.... Surprised?

5. I've always been a Racist against humans.. Though I don't go crazy for furries either... But I believe I'm a animal and fully accept it.. We all are, if your a human that thinks we're different then animals.. Don't friend me.. Cause once I find out that's the end of you and me meaning "We". So yeah.....O_O; Pick me as a friend very carefully, for your own good .

6. I've always showered in boiling or scolding hot water as a test of my meditative state... After the last few times at the doc for a checkup I've found my average body temperature is their " Medium fever" Meaning I'm always above the normal persons body heat..

7. Outside of donations to save nature and "needing" to pay bills... Money and items mean NOTHING to me.. The only reason I even have a computer is to sell drawings to donate for nature conservation. And the only reason I pay bills is because my animals can't imagine and even freak on the thought of living outside.. If I was alone, I'd be a Indiana dunes hermit, living my days on the Michigan beach eating Pine nuts and drinking right from the freshest water around! But my animals really needs someone to care for them and not just put them with the others and forget about their individual personalities and needs.

8. I can talk on and on and on about nature, protection animals.. Heck look at #7!.. But if it has to do with anything other then them and giving people advise or hearing them out and speaking my opinion.... I don't even wanna talk with people o~o.....I just... To be honest outside of my mom, my oekaki crush, my idols in artwork and those who are kind to nature and show it's good side to better us all, My BF and my ex...(sometimes my siblings)... I HATE people! Even before this oil spill almost 80% of the people I've met are Jerks or animal/ nature killers.. They figure " if I didn't do it with my own hands, I'm not to blame" Then eat a turkey sammich out of a bird that was possibly gutted alive! ya'll make me sick! X_X!!!!!!!

sorry for the rant.. But this is all leading to #8 meaning I act bipolar in front of people NOT my family and friends, or at people I don't like that day . This sometimes includes my family and makes them think I'm really Bipolar, but it's just to show them how wrong I think they can be some days... Especially calling me a stupid ass bitch when the next day that same Bro/sis says that I surprise them with how smart I can be.. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!XD

9. I'm a weather freak!!! I LOVE watching a storm being born and die, and though I have a phobia of storms and Tornadoes.. I love getting sickening close to them both.. Almost Drool over a hail storm but scream and run from tornadoes XD rOFL! I think it's that adrenalin that people bungee jump for... I never feel more alive then after we've been dinged around by a Indiana Down-burst!

10. Obviously a Tree hugging 21st century Hippie.. And freakin' proud of it 8D!! But did you know I've gone as far as punching and slapping a friendly landscaper's lawn mower when he mows our grass for free and hits the dear fescue?
Or how about when our city was putting in new pluming and tore down a bunch of our forest's trees; did you know I jumped in front of and if it wasn't for my mom pulling me back, almost kicked a moving Bull dozer and actually called him a M-f'in asshole?
Later that same day I was in my room with a Branch and threw it out the window at the digging contractor next to our apple tree, then ducked back behind my curtains ..Still hope I hit him XD.
The next day they nailed a red tag onto my #1 Maple tree, I grabbed a rope and if it wasn't for my mom asking them not to cut it down, I was about to climb it and call off work for it?

Note to Deviants: Don't come to our place like it's someones house, approach it like you would a nature reserve.. Unless a plant is handed to you.. Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints in the MARKED areas of our yard. Or you'll be kicked in the jewels/ vehicle or tools busted, and/or cussed at( depends on what you did) and dragged right back out ... I take our forest VERY seriously.. Like a overprotective mom who just found their child's porno file XD. Always ALWAYS remember that! To many people have come and found that out the hard way....

And that is my dirty and crazy secrets.. You a Christian that believes witches are nothing but bad, let me show you the friendly witch which has inspired many novels and games. Your a human that think we're not just mammals like a rat or a dear, turn away now O.o.. You think I started as a perfectly honest artists like I am now... Remember almost every artist begins as a thief... And WATERMARK your pictures.

Sorry I haven't updated the Agouti gal..  I planned on doing it between yesterday and today since they where my days off. But the night before my moms cat hit me in the eye with her tail when I was going to sleep, and I was in the bad position of having my eye... Open Oo;.. So Tail hits the eye, I go Owwie for three minutes, then when the pain goes away a li'l I just shrugged it off in my sleep and plopped back into my pillow..

Sadly that left it to fester all night and the next morning -yesterday- it hurt so bad I slept all but three hours of the day away. And those three hours where used just trying to work with my eye so I knew it still had use. Which it did, and then taking my antibiotic and putting some Drops in my eye X_X. I still used my visien and Benedrill this morning, but it Feels much better. I still get clear to yellowish tears occasionally but it's not constant and it doesn't sting like it use to yesterday.
Only difference outside of that is that my eye is all red and not swollen. So it's healing alright and I'm feeling much better. I can see pretty well through it even though it was blurry this morning and actually practiced working with it by drawing a Rapidash instead of using my time on a important piece. That way I didn't screw it up XD. So I'll post that picture up. But hopefully on my next day off - three days from now- Things will be even better and the rat theme can live on!

Sorry again for no updates on the rat.. If I feel better tomorrow I might try it after work, sweet dreams everyone and stay cozy =3.

Yay another month and a half and the NIRO rat show will be here again. With it right around the corner and my ratty works looking better then ever, I can't wait to see what people will purchase my drawings and T-shirts. Models and clay sculptures along with Picture frames, tote bags, mugs, stationary,stickers etc.. The list goes on! XD.

I really want them to buy it not only so that they can enjoy having something from the rat show, but also so that I can donate the money to WWF's African animals and hopefully play a role in saving the wild Gambian pouched rats. They have been really neglected now that people breed them indoors. But if it wasn't for them, the domestic one wouldn't be around... They deserve the greatest respects for that just as much as NewYork's wild rat population does with it's relation to our Fancy rats of today .

But yeah, so if it seems like my Drawings and posts along with other artwork and related topics look all Ratified.. That's why! The rat show is......

44 days away!!!

For anybody who lives in Indiana,  last I heard- your welcome to come. It's a  pay at the door fee to get in, there's plenty of rats and rat related gifts to meet/get and you can even stay and watch as the judges choose this years Best in show rat!
The rat show is held on March 22, 8:00AM at the Valparaiso Armory, look for a open door and the billboard with a arrow pointing to NIRO. From there pay the person at the front door, and start from the tables, and end by the rat booths for the best Ratty Experience! And hey! Bring the kids so long as their old enough to be gentle (8yrs+), you can meet and greet with real live fancy rats!

If you'd like a booth to show your rat arts and crafts, or sell them. A booth can be bought by joining NIRO at www.niro-usa.org/default.htm and purchasing it from the administrators. You can also look there for more information on rats and their people, great breeders and pet owners alike. In time you might be able to show your own rats one day .

I do advise that if you are a Fancy rat owner, and want to come.. Don't bring your rat, the rats at the rat show have been health checked and no active rattery/ pet owner desires to have any chance of getting their pets sick. From SDA to KRV, pet store or badly bred rats are everywhere. We're sure your rat is awesome and for the most part in peak condition, but just for the safety of the rats in show, please leave your furry friend at home. That would be much appreciated ^^!

I got a message from Paul when I signed into Smeargles today posting that I've been re-admined and he's returned as well ! So hopefully I can help take the lode of Toxi, Happy and Kelly when things get nasty now.

And since I'm back and the Oekaki finally seems peaceful, what a better time to bring up ideas and suggestions that have been brought up in the past few months, now that I have wifi and can return to working on it..

If you can, just let us know what you think of these updates, and if any are largely disliked, they will not be put in this update.

For Playground.

Art shops:
Members have had the idea of posting art shops again, and as with the past they are for you guys to know who's available for Requests and art trades. Sometimes even for Gold or Points if you share the like of a game they enjoy, such as World of War craft gold, Gaia Online Cash and coins Neopet and Murci pet Points and ribbons. And under terms of use and services much like DA, Real money if found both parties agree to the terms. This will be posted in the header and in this journal for any time you want a drawing done that isn't in your style, or one you can't do. If it's in this DA and the host of the shop has a DA, it will be linked to them for easy messaging. In the oekaki, O-mails are necessary.

Theme of the week:
This will be for those with art blocks and those who just don't know what they want to do yet. Now not all oekakiers have to do this, it's just if you want to. Mind you it'll be based off pokemon because well.. Whats the main theme for Smeargle oekakies? A Loving smeargle group inspired by the hit Series... Pokemon . It will change from week to week, and it may even get you featured on a DA journal for the best drawing of that Particular pokemon. If done with the best of your abilities, it might even be uploaded and archived in Smeargles Canvas.

Collab nights:
This will be for all members of playground to join together on a single night, this is more then likely going to be saturday, for what school is open saturday O-o!? In this there will be a selected P-chat that will be linked at the top of the oekaki, for oekakiers in playground to team up and draw one big picture . The picture will then be posted on DA for the world to see.

Teaching nights:
The same P-chat open on saturday for collabs, will be open on Sunday for Training new oekakiers or old that just want to learn a new style. This is where the seasoned members of Playground and Canvas can teach others their skills, and the new members who might be experienced in the program Shi-paint, can teach us what they know. This is where the basis of SMeargles will take place when a tutorial for a particular animal pokemon or style cannot be achieved without hands on training.

Mind you there are other possible features, but only four at a time will be added. This is for Playground, future ones will be for canvas, and more for Playground when these are voted on..

All I ask is that since "your" the member, brought up these suggestions, let the other members and our admins decide on whether we keep it and connect these ideas with the oekaki. We would also like to hear what you might like in these posts, to further add into Updates later on. Thank you for voting on if you want this too, or not. And I hope to post more soon.


And also, I've been using this DA as a DA to post My artwork, but till one is made for the admins to run and use as the Oekakies DA, it will host featured Oekakiers and contest winners.

Now if your wondering I vote yes to all these ideas, some we've had before and where a big success. While others would be wonderful and it would make a great deal of progress in us working as a community .

Sorry I haven't posted a journal entry in so long, I was having issues on the oekaki with some of our members and from there it just got worse, from being flamed on the DA by these said members to being out and out harassed on my MSN and hotmail. Then I guess they didn't get enough of this sick enjoyment, and brought it into the oekaki three months later, again to destroy our peace by hacking my account and removing all banned members from the list.

Thankfully we found that the IP bans where left alone, but now Mr.awesome/DS lite and the rest are back out on the loose. If any of you see a problem arise that seems like it's happened in the past. Report every little sign of them to the administrators immediately. They where permanently banned for a reason, and we must get them and their partners in rebellion back on ban.

Outside of that one of our admins and a few of our friends and and theirs aided in the downfall of the said members, and as such they have been removed from the oekaki permanently. Their unruly and completely brash attacks might continue otherwise, but their heartless immoral raid on the oekaki will never happen again.. If found bugging me on DA or MSNLive again though, they will soon be off these sites too. They have already been reported by me to DA for their harassment through my notes and their posts of attack.

I knew they where ones to recon with from the start, and everyone acted like it was just over-reacting or acting like that because the rules didn't have to change, but I already agreed with rules being slowly placed back to simplicity and opened it to full updates on playground. It had nothing to do with that, but rather past reputation by this loathed group. I hope their foulness will never grace my eyes again, or for their sake lets hope I'm busy.. Or they will feel our hacking admins wrath in return and viruses will run rampant upon their computers..

If any of the banned members friends are against the posting of this and found flaming me on the oekaki or here for spilling the beans on those two beings... At least be smarter then those lame brains and CONSULT ME.. Don't just go all bo-hoo and wine in your little compartments.. I'm willing to face anything you can toss, and I have proof of everything I've written in this journal.. So just try to prove me wrong.

If found flaming this situation on the oekaki, also prepare to end the same as they have. Don't forget , Art stealing, hacking admins, flaming admins or 7 warnings will get you IP banned, so watch your step =/.

Edit- Names removed, and why is it Triumph? I had somethin' els thereXD.. Ah well * puts mood now*
