Hey guys. :]

I’ve been totally busy lately because of school and the obligations that go along with that. But my grades are pretty decent and everything else is progressing nicely. I’ll be picking classes for the spring semester soon.

Halloween was fun! My friends and invited me to go trick-or treating with them and it was a lot of fun. I dressed up like a devil. :3

One of my cats passed away a few weeks ago on October 18. Rest in peace, Tabby. You were such a kind and peaceful soul. I’ll miss ya, kitty cat. <3

A word about Giantess work- I haven’t had time to take pictures for others to turn into Giantess collages like I used to. So I can’t really take “requests” or anything like that. Also I don’t usually draw pictures for other people, particularly Giantess pictures, because I still need practice with my drawing skills for things like that. However, if you want to use a photo of me that already exists and turn it into a Giantess collage, that’s fine, just ask me first. Kay? ^^

I think this is about it for now. I hope you like my latest deviations. :]

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I’ve been well, lots of new things in the past couple of weeks and it’s pretty exciting!

The rest of my summer was good, lots of relaxation. I didn’t do much this summer but since I had been so busy senior year, I knew I’d want a nice long break before I started college, the type of break where I could withdraw and regroup for awhile. I was able to do that and I’m really happy that I was able to get my driver’s license, which was my main goal for the summer. ^^ Another big milestone happened for me as well…but I won’t say that on here. And of course there was Otakon! Definitely a great vacation! I’m so glad I was able to do that.

So now college has started. I’m a University of Delaware student in their Associate in Arts program. I had orientation and convocation on August 31, and then classes started on September 1. It’s definitely confusing at times. There are so many different things to remember! The professors rarely mention the readings and things that are for homework, so I’m always careful to check my syllabi for what I’m supposed to do before the next class. Also, my classes are in two different buildings in downtown Wilmington: the Del-Tech campus (causing TONS of confusion and making most people think I go to Del-Tech, LOL), and the University of Delaware Downtown Building, or UDDC. It’s been an adventure finding my buildings and all my different classrooms. Walking around the city actually doesn’t scare me as much as I thought it would, *knock on wood*, as long as you walk quickly and look like you know where you’re going people won’t bother you. Oh! And parking for the college areas is a NIGHTMARE! If you’re not there by like 8AM, you won’t be able to find a space. Seriously. One will drive around for about fifteen minutes looking for one. I first noticed this on my first day there. Luckily since my dad had insisted on driving up with me I didn’t have to deal with this, and then when I came home that day he showed me the Dart Bus schedule he found and it turns out I can just catch the bus at People’s Plaza and it can drop me off right in front of whatever building I have classes in for that day! So, yes, I’ve been taking the Dart Bus. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not, but it’s saved me SOOO much stress! I don’t have to deal with parking, city driving, and the traffic on I-95! Plus the bus ride gives me free time to read! So the bus has been working out great. =^^=

I really like my classes! My only issue has been getting my textbooks, which for some reason are arriving very slowly, one at a time. Right now I’m waiting patiently for my English book and then I’ll be all set. But yeah- History of Rock has been the most interesting so far! So many things went into to creation of the rock genre and it’s really interesting to learn about! I have a feeling I’ll be enjoying my English class as well, which is natural because that’s my favorite subject. Anthropology seems pretty cool, and Physical Science shouldn’t be too bad. I also have a FYE class, which all freshmen for the U of D are taking and it will help with studying and note-taking techniques.

All of this is overwhelming but it’s also exciting! I can’t wait to get more involved at the U of D and also keep my GPA at a 3.0 or higher, which is my goal for the semester.

Also I’ve been looking for a job. I don’t want anything too intense, just an easy bullshit type of job so I can have some extra money. So far I’ve applied at Dollar Tree, Delia’s, and Rite-Aide. (I’m very picky as you can see, lmao).

That’s about all the updates I can think of for now. Since I’m so busy with schoolwork and all, I may not be on here as often but rest assured that I’m still drawing, writing, and taking pictures to put up on here! =^^=

Have a great evening everyone <3

OH-EM-GEE…I got my driver’s license on Monday! Now I can drive around all by myself. I can taste the freedom! It’s a little scary but also exciting at the same time. I’ll probably be inheriting my dad’s 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. It’s silver with a black interior. It’s a good car and gets decent gas mileage. I can’t wait to clean it and customize it to suit my tastes. At the Dollar Tree a week or so ago I bought some plastic skull decorations that I’m going to use for it I’m so happy to be having a car soon, most likely! And now all I have do is learn how to pump gas! Haha…

Yesterday was also a good day because I went to the eye doctor with Mom and we both picked out new glasses frames! They’ll be ready next week. They’re going to look really cute. :3 And then we got manicures and pedicures and my new laptop for college came! Woo! I can’t wait to get that set up.

OH! And today at Wal-Mart I got a flat-iron for my hair! So now I can make my hair all straight in whatnot like a fabricated rockstar! And the flat iron itself is PINK! Yay!

Also random: For my nineteenth birthday I’ve decided to get my nose pierced. I know that’s a long while off, but this way I’ll have lots of time to think about it and decide if I really want it or not. And I can also figure out a way to save up for it! (I guess I’ll probably be getting a job sometime in the not-too-distant future now that I can drive). I don’t think my parents would be too willing to pay for it, because they think nose piercing are foolish and unnecessary. But I think it would look cute! In any case, this is just a random idea so IDK if it’s really going to happen or not but we’ll see.

As far as my artwork is concerned: I finished my fan art drawings for each member of The Clique, put up some random pictures of a shopping center near my house, and two new giantess pictures! did some great things with pictures of me and they’re definitely worth taking a look at.

Well, Dad wants me to go to Wawa with him so he can show me how to pump gas properly and also to get a Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee. I’ll talk to everyone soon! =^^=

Hey guys! As some of you might know, this past weekend (July 17-19) I attended an anime/manga convention called Otakon, which is held every year in Baltimore, Maryland. I’ve always wanted to go, since it’s only about an hour or so from where I live, and this year my wish came true! Back in January, Valerie invited me to stay with her and her dad this year, and at the last minute our friend Essence was able to stay with us as well. Yay! <3

A few days before the convention, my grandmother helped me make a pair of cat ears. They came out just the way I hoped they would! I had a collar with a bell on it and fishnet gloves to wear as well, so I looked pretty fetching. :3

Once we arrived on Friday morning, there were so0o0o many things to see and do! First we visited the Dealer’s Room, where hundreds of different artists were selling all sorts of anime, manga, video game, and Oriental-themed items. Next we went to the Arts room, where all sorts of artists were selling their work and offering commissions. There was even a live auction!

On Saturday we went to see the Masquerade, which was like a huge variety show comprised of different skits and vignettes that Otakon attendees had prepared. The opening act was a singer from Japan called Reni, and the other acts had all sorts of singers, dancers, and other talented folks. Near the end there was a costume contest for some of the cosplayers.

On Sunday we took a last look at everything and made sure we bought everything we wanted. Then we explored the inner harbor and waterfront area of Baltimore with Val’s Dad and went in the Barnes and Noble. After that we had a lunch at an ESPNZone restaurant, which I liked more than I thought we would. And then he took me home and here I am, still overjoyed that I was able to go.

Here’s a list of all the things I bought:

1) Cat Necklace ($10)
2) Bread Slice Ring and Sprinkle Star Ring (2 for $5)
3) Good Fortune Cat Plushie ($7)
4) Good Fortune Cat Plushie with Kitten ($9.50)
5) Taurus Girl Button ($2)
6) Cat Girls Button ($2)
7) Chocoholic Button ($2)
8) Virgin Button ($1)
9) “Hot” Button ($1)
10) Cat Girls Button #2 ($1)
11) Anime Girl Button (FREE!)
12) Art Commission ($14)
13) Set of 5 Stickers ($1)

Wooooo! Shopping is fun! I also got a lot of free stuff. ^^

Of course, I took a ton of pictures as well. I’ll be sure to upload these sometime soon! I hope you all are having a great day!

This was written by 90-year-old Regina Brett from Cleveland, Ohio to celebrate what life had taught her over the years...apparently this is her most-requested column of all time.

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a "gift."
