This is really just up here to catch anything I miss in the comments. Having been in the DeviantART system for several years now, I've enjoyed checking out the DDs along with exploring other parts of the site. The idea that one of my pieces would show up there at any point didn't particularly cross my mind. Good things come to those who wander about oblivious, I guess.

This is massively encouraging at a time when my writing has been giving me a good deal of anxiety. Thank you especially to ^lovetodeviate for featuring.

Good day, all!

It's been a while, I guess, since I've posted anything on DeviantArt. It doesn't seem long to me because I'm on here almost every day; checking my watchbox, marvelling at the DDs, and scanning the Recent Submissions like a hawk. With so much going on - I'm in my final year of high school, trying to apply for college and taking my SATs (Stupid American Tests), it's a huge relief to be able to slip on here even for a few minutes and find a vibrant community of artists and writers. So, just wanted to say thank you!

Cheers
Julia

Art starting up, and now that I'm all digitaled up, I'll start submitting more weird pencil drawings :3
I'm sure y'all are psyched, right? (No, I'm not from Texas.)

Mai? I are subscribed for a week, apparently. How kind of the higher beings in the Deviant-sphere <3
Not that I don't see it as a gimmick to get people to subscribe, of course... ^.^

Well, no art is happening outside of art class because I cannot think of anything to draw.... in'nit a shame? But art is becoming even more amusing than usual. Chalk pastels aren't so bad, as far as colour goes. And now I can say that I am not completely averse to all mediums other than that of the pencil!

Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and
A guitar and a stereo

And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
And a song that has no soul and...

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I
remember all the feelings and the day they stopped.

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

I dreamed of losing faith and what she knows
And some music hits on the foreclose
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
And the galleries of war

And she wishes she was a dancer
And that she’d never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful and

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped.

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

One day, you’ll have to let it go
You’ll have to let it go
No...
One day, you’ll stand up on your own
You’ll stand up on your own

Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are all innocent (you’ll have to let it go)
We are, we are (you’ll have to let it go, no..)

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are, we are (you’ll stand up on your own)
We are, we are all innocent (you’ll stand up on your own..)

We are, we are all innocent...

Just felt like sharing that...
