Note: I’ve been writing this journal off an’ on for the past three days, so I might jump from one subject to another.
And I’d just like to warn you that it’s very very... very long.

Well, on Thursday we (Me, Sis, Mom, and Jason) went to the fair. And we all came back queasy from all the rides.
I am happy to report that I have the results of the Photography contest.

Macro World: [link] - Took first place in its category!
And Boo!: [link] - Took second in its category!

I’m not sure if they will be doing an overall placing, so I have to wait til I pick them up tomorrow to know.
(Picked them up BTW, and didn’t place for the overall, but I still brought home two ribbons, so everyone’s happy. . And there’s always next year. )

While we are on the subject of my photos. I have been thinking about making a second account on DA that will be exclusively for my photography. I feel like my other work, such as fanart, digital art, and written stuff is being buried. So, I just wanted to see what some of you think first.
Good idea, Bad idea, Don’t care.

We did take Schnee to the vet this week. They gave us some meds to help clear up his infection, and something for Rommels eyes(Which have been clearing up). Schnee it still sneezing all over the place, but at least he’s feeling better.

Oh! And it has been confirmed, he is a Flame-point siamese with the attitude to boot.

This week went from ‘Get organized & chill out a bit’ to ‘Making decisions & mentally preparing oneself’.
It all started on Sunday, after we got back from eating lunch with my grandparents and uncle. Something we do almost every weekend.

Coming home, we saw two unfamiliar dogs in our yard. We immediately put our dogs in the house to make sure nothing happened. (I’ve experienced too many dog fights to take any chances now)

I watched them for about thirty minutes. One was a large black male, who I think is a Black Lab - Rottweiler mix. No collar, but he acts old and friendly.
The other was a Shepard mix female. She did have a blue collar on, but I couldn’t see any tags. And it looked way too tight as if she had worn it since she was little. I wanted to take it off or loosen it, but she wouldn’t let me near her. What really bothered me about her though, was how she acted much like my Pup. Only wild. Very cautious, growled if you tried to get near her, but she seemed to enjoy following us. I didn’t trust her at all.

We managed to get the male in the house. I’m hoping we can find his owner(s). The female left before we had a chance to do anything more.

I finally put up the small posters, asking if anyone might be able to take Pup.
And Icini’s health has been declining rabidly for the past few months. We’ve been considering our options, but it doesn’t look good.

This whole situation has been very hard and stressful.

It’s funny how, when things finally start to settle down, something always pops up causing twice as much havoc. Not to mention school, looking into getting a job and drivers license (Took a Drivers-Ed class this year.)
I’ve also been writing a letter to Falcon Camp ( about the Counselor-in-Training invitation they sent a while back.

I also need to get back to Scifinity and Ckarin.

recently introduced me to a neat cartoon called Brave Police J-Decker. It includes interesting story lines and Big frickin’ robots!! Who are sentient, which is the best part.
I mean yeah, big kick-aft robots are sweet, but if they don’t think for themselves, it kinda ruins the point.

Okay getting back on track here.

Anyway, the series has kinda become my latest obsession.
also created a forum for this not-so-popular-but-totally-cool show. It’s just started, so it needs some members and some new threads: [link]
It’s my goal to drag some more people into this! ^_^
So, if your curiosity has been sparked, go check out the first 29 episodes (With subtitles!) Here: [link]

Unfortunately, the last 20 or so still need subs. . . Bummer.

Hmmm. . . I really need to stop writing chapter length journal entries.
