SRSLY.

EDIT: Yay for vagueness.
But yeah I think it's the end of my teather here at deviantART. I've been wanting to leave for a few months due to it's changing. Maybe i'm just getting old and not fitting into the site anymore? Or maybe deviantART staff just don't know how to handle the community anymore. Yeah that's probably it.

Anyway. As deviantART once was, my place to be and meant so much to me, i'm not sure my treasured daily deviations can be deleted. But the rest I will probably take down. Yes yes, i'm being one of those dramatic people! Well i'm not really. I can't stand it here anymore. I don't want to insult the staff, because y'know, there are far worse things going on in this world, and they haven't done anything wrong persay, it's just they've aggrivated and frustrated a lot of their dedicated community members and artists. At these current times, I'm stressed, the world is very stressed, about money, the economy. DeviantART used to be my haven to get away from the 'real world' but now I find deviantART just adds to the madness. It used to be a community, but now, no matter what the staff say or tell you, I feel it isn't, and so do a lot of people.

I honestly used to get to pissed and irate when people complain about new deviantART changes, when they were creating the new pages, the new dAmn e.t.c - And I stuck by dA the whole time, because I treasured this place, and I would get annoyed with those who would complain. But now, I find I cannot stick up for their decisions anymore. Instead of a community, they now see this as a company.

I honestly understand that they need to make money, really I do. But who doesn't?
The worst, absolute worst thing you can do to a community, is do something to piss the entire community off then basically turn around and say 'deal with it'. Pfft. Good luck keeping your members, really.

I just think the advertisement and promoting has gone a little over the top, and they've gone a bit ahead of themselves. I feel bad, as they were probably excited to introduce the new features and what have you. But I think people need to understand that not everything works out to plan and that sometimes you do have to go back. The customer is always right

One thing I do find a little amusing, is that they have so maybe people working for them, for free. They have a ton of adverts on the website. devwear. Subscriptions and god knows what else they do. I could be wrong, and some admins may post here and shout at me, to tell me how wrong I am blah blah (but we will never have real proof)...but I do honestly think they make a hella lot more money than they 'lose'.

For fuck sake. Why does everything have to be about money.
I pretty much live off no money. When I worked I never really wanted my pay, I never felt I deserved it, I hated taking my paycheque. I haven't worked for about 3-4 years. Money helps ofcourse it does. But there is SOOO much more to life. Like, ART. dollaART sounds about right these days.

May aswell take of the keywords for google search 'art community', because that is now false advertising.

I'm sorry to any staff that i've upset, pissed off, or you've felt i've given wrong information - this isn't a personal attack to any specific staff member.
But this is how I feel, and how a lot of the community people feel.
Instead of making money, at the end of the day I truly believe you are going to lose money.
It's just far too much.


deviantART, don't make me do this
I don't really want to leave my watchers, and the people whom I watch.
But I just can't stand you anymore! BRING BACK THE COMMUNITY.

I wonder how many journals and blogs have the header 'Twitter' these days, far too many I bet. Anyone know if the people who created Twitter even make money? I don't see any adverts or what have you on there.

Anyway, that's not what I meant to talk about
I'm using Twitter quite a lot lately, who else has it? C'mon, you must have! It's like a disease these days, everyone has it




About me going blonde, I still have yet to decide, shockingly got a high responce in my poll and journals, but now I don't know which to decide! I won't be able to afford to go blonde just yet anyway, because it may take a few goes, which will cost lots - but it's in the thought process anyway



It's been a few months since I stopped taking photographs daily, not sure what unmotivated me, but I suddenly feel motivated again. Don't know what ShutterCal is? It's awesome! It's kind of a challenge and gives you something to work for. ShutterCal is a calender based photo album, technically. Take a photograph everyday and upload it in each day of the week. They even have new updates now and a forum to interact with other members! Try it out! www.shuttercal.com



Anyone play? I'm addicted like hell.
Bought this game about 4 years ago, and played it non-stop for 6 months, then gave it up for a year or two. I'm back playing, and have been for about 2 months, if you have it feel free to send me a note with your char name


Anyway, thats me out!
I'm sooo drowsy from hayfever tablets and the humitidy I can barely keep my eyes open!
Hope everyone is okay, thank you for all your efforts and feedback on my hair colour

Blonde hair... !

Yep, I want to join the light side, as opposed to the dark side

Infact, i've wanted to go back blonde for a good few years now, but no hairdresser will ever go near my hair, they tell me to grow out my current colour then come back. Ugh! it's so hard to grow out a colour when your roots are showing and it looks fowl.

Anyway, because I was bored today, as some of you may notice by my constant annoying twitter updates, so I was mooching around on the internet, and tried finding tips to remove dark colour from hair. Found a product called 'One 'N Only Colorfix', read a ton of reviews saying it's amazing, even removes black hair dye. So yeah I want to give this a go, only problem is they only seem to sell it in the US. But if anyone knows if I can get it in the UK or Europe, please let me know

Anywhooooo, I then tried finding a virtual haircolour makeover, and this is the outcome Oh jeeze I had fun doing this, haha.



Right click image, 'View Image', to view it properly!

Please excuse the disgusting before picture, I had to take it with the hair up and back

So yeah, what do you think? Which do you prefer? Haha.

Thanks in advance

Ughm, I feel like all my journals are dramatic; either asking for something or whining about something. I'm not always like it, I'm just in a tough spot at the moment, I hope everyone can understand.

I just wanted to show everyone our lovely home we're going to loose at the court hearing, unless we can sell it in time

[link]

Maaaaaan, look at it ;( how can that get repossessed!

Anyways. My sister has found a place, so she's safe. My brother lives with his girlfriend so he's safe. My dad's yet to find a place, and so have myself and Lee. Bearing in mind my dad does have a little bit more money than Lee and I. At the moment we have the amazing amount of £50 lol.

So - does anyone need a website done, logo, or anything? lol.
I've got to the point where I'm not ashamed to ask. I just need work, something - aslong as it's doable, anything.

I guess what i'm asking is that, I need you guys help somehow

Miss.Erica pants found me an awesome site, but it seems some of the jobs on there are asking for a bit more than what I can do (coding side of things)

If you can think of anything I can do for you, or of anyone who needs something done, send me a note or something



ugh one day my journals will be full of sunshine and bunnies!
