I was just reading 's new journal entry about het being on DA for 3 years and then it hit me at super slomospeed: Heeeey.....now  wait a second....wasn't I the one who told her to get her ass on DA asap right after I created my own acount?....OMGS! WHEEE! Then I must be on DA for 3 years as well! And so it is, it says 3 years at the top of my page!
Thanks to everyone who has commented on my page and/or deviations and for the faves and watches.

Well, time for a new journal entry AKA random rant. The last one is almost a year old now but I didn't know what to bother you people with. I usually bother with my stuff but now I'd really like the world to know that I think contact lenses BLOW!I've been trying test pairs for a few weeks now but I'm already at my fifth pair and it's still not right. Tonight I decided to compare what I see with lenses, without lenses and with my glasses on. It turns out I see just as much with lenses as I see without them only the people on TV don't have four eyes when I don't wear lenses. So then it was time for my glasses and lo and behold! The world became crystal clear. CRAP! I hate my glasses and don't want to go back to wearing them. The most shitty thing is that I wont be able to go to the optometrist anymore since I'll be starting my internship on Monday and the optometrist is only open at hours when I have to work. I really don't know what to do about it anymore.

Ofcourse the lenses are not the real reason why I'm this pissed. The real reason is the internship itself because however I'm looking forward to it SO much, I'm also freaking NER-VOUS! I failed the last one and now I have to do it all over again, which is scary. To top of the misery they had a nice little surprise waiting for us this morning at school: We have to write a scientific publication during our internship because ,hey, we got loads of time right? Don't mind the fact that I need to write another publication, make a portfolio and finish the research project the new publication has to be about at the same time. I guess they really want me to fail again.



And now I want happy stuff so I'll introduce my "new" ratpack. Since Koe-ki died the baby brothers have grown up to be a pair of stubborn but lovely dudes. Oberon turned out to be rather prone to infections and he became a bit bossy in puberty and decided he'd like his brother to be castrated. So he bit him in the sack two times and had to hand over his own pair to the vet(sorry guys!). Otherwise he's fine. Wickie healed and got to keep his pair so he's the only real man in the cage. Ergo, he became the big burly alpha male....who sleeps a lot .Around Christmas my mom gave me a new addition to my little pack in the form of Rune, a small, fluffy, black male ratty with HUGE dumbo ears and HUGE look-at-me-i'm-freaking-cute eyes. He might look adorable but he's a bit nervous and doesn't like to be picked up. However, once I have him in my arms he's just a nosey little cuddle. All of them are approximately 12 months old now but I can't be sure as neither of them was born at the rat-shelter they come form. Well, I'm still very much in love with my bunch of sniffyfaces so with that I'll conclude my rant.

Update

Yay! my internship turns out to be pretty fun and so far it goes well. I pray I can keep it up! As for the contacts, I rushed to the optometrist right after work on Tuesday to get an appointment for tomorrow. The optometrist himself was at the front desk so I could tell him that the lenses didn't work at all. He told me right away he'd order a new test pair but instead of increasing the strength he's gonna reduce it like my glasses are. So hopefully that will be alright as well.

Hi everyone who bothers to read my journal when passing by on my deviant!

I have some random ranting to do again, some YAY's and some meh's. So here goes:

First for the meh's.
This monday I finally made the decision the time had come to put my sweet rattyboy Koe-ki to his eternal sleep. His entire hind body was more or less paralysed, his eye wouldn't really heal from an infection and he suffered from an old heart. The poor thing has fought to stay with us for so long but it was enough now. I made an appointment at the vets for thuesday evening so I would have one more day to spoil him and say goodbye but monday afternoon he began to look weird and I had the feeling he was dying already. So I picked him up to stroke his head a bit and see if he was really ill but when I picked him up he seemed a little better and not near dying. So I put him back in the cage. But when I closed the cage he tried to get to the cage door again desperatly. So I held out my arms and he climbed on my hands. I took him downstairs with me to lay on the couch a bit but he refused to stay in his cloth. I put him on my chest and then it slowly dawned on me he really was dying! He was dying and the only place he wanted to stay still was my chest. The poor creature really struggeled and the only thing I could do for him was hold him, stroke his body and tell him it would be alright. On the one hand it was really nice to know that he wanted me to be there and I could be,but on the other hand it was a gruesome sight to see someone you love that much struggle with death without being able to do anything to make it better.

The other meh is that I really, desperately, long for vacation. I feel drained of all energy and sleeping does squat. My brain feels fried at the end of the day and if I'm not carefull I'll fall asleep on the couch or chair in the afternoon and wake up with a raging headache. The thing is that everybody else seems to be free already and I'm still working on this project. It has to be finished but with a head like mine it doesn't work. I hope I'll be finished by monday but I'm afraid I'll have school to worry about for another two weeks after that.

Now for the YAY's:

One of my TV series addictions, Torchwood, has been announced for a new series! WOOT! Although it will be another year before we finally get to see it, it will come back and i'm really really happy! It's gonna be totally different from what we're used to but as long as it has John Barrowman as Captain Jack it can't be too bad.

The other YAY is that when I finally do get my vacation I'll be drawing again! First I'll try to make an entry for the splash of colour contest and after that maybe some new dreamcatchers, graphite and/or charcoal drawing or I might pick up the acrylics again for some brushless painting. YAY for the fact I've got fingers and the existence of soap afterwards!

Oh1 another YAY: It's SUMMER! no more nasty slippery roads. No more shivering when I come out of the shower in the morning, still light in the evenings. And best of all I can go swimming again!

Wow! Today I noticed I have been hanging around DA for 2 years. I've had so much fun with my friends and seen so many wonderful and inspiring deviations. Now on to the next year and hopefully lots and lots of new deviaitions to make, view and fave.

*little side note to explain the mood: I lost my nicest and comfiest hoodie at school. When I got there it was still on me and when I got my bike to go home it wasn't on my body and I do not know where I took it of or left it.*

This Journal entry is actually to finally get rid of the old one on my dev. page. It wasn't long after I posted that one that I had to bring Smurf back to the shelter again because Figaro was just not going to accept another rat in his territory. He beat poor Smurf up every night so it was better for him to go back. At the moment he has a new owner and lives happily ever after. My boys won't be getting any new friends anymore. They are two years old and Figaro is just too much alpha male to handle any new rats. He's not doing very well now anyway. His hind legs slowly become paralyzed.

Last week I finished my internship, which was weird. I had a great time but it was all very heavy. Dealing with myself and stuff. Now I'm going back to school for a whole year so I hope I'll have a bit of a life again!
