Because redpanda did it... V-day meme
Posted 15 years ago1.Are you single or taken?
---> Single... haven't been taken yet
2. Chocolate or flowers?
---> I don't need either... or really am a girl that goes for those things. Though I do think real flowers are pretty and I do love spicy chocolate or chocolate dipped fruit. But heck I appreciate doodles on paper as long as it's something sincere. I'm not hard to impress.
3. Will you do anything special for Valentines Day?
---> nope.
4.Do you like anyone?
---> yeah
5. Were you dating anyone last Valentines?
---> nope... kind of goes with question 1
6. What would be your dream Valentines date?
---> I don't normally think about v-day dates. Wait until I have a normal one...
7. Do you make a big deal about Valentines?
---> Nope. Don't really care for it personally... it's VERY commercialized and it really has no true meaning behind it since I think it's silly for couples that constantly fight to like each other for that one day. If you really love each other... love each other daily. It's hard to find real love.
8. Have you ever had a secret admirer?
---> no... hahaha
9. Would you ever write someone a love letter?
---> I have
10. Do you believe in Cupid?
---> an immortal baby... son of Venus... ummm not really but I'm also an atheist.
11. Do your parents give you presents on Valentines?
---> my mom does... she loves v-day.
12. Do you still send out Valentines cards?
---> after they stopped giving you that list that required you to do it in school...? no.
13. Do you like candy hearts?
---> yes if they are reese's
15. Is Valentines day depressing?
---> sort of
16. How do you feel about PDA?
---> ummm I could say it's weird... but it can be argued that I only feel that way because I've never had any. I think there's a line that can get to the point of "get a room" but if there isn't drool and dry humping I don't see why not... you aren't hurting anyone. It really depends on what the individual sees PDA as... kisses, hugs, and cutesy cuddles... no biggie. I admit that I'm a cuddler.
17. How is your love life?
---> ... invisible ?
18. Have you ever been dumped on Valentines?
---> no
19. How many roses would you want?
---> I don't really care
20. Will you have a boyfriend/girlfriend next Valentines?
---> no
---> Single... haven't been taken yet

7.0 Earthquake in Haiti kills in the 100 thousands
Posted 16 years agoA few of you know that I'm strongly into politics and global issues and if you haven't heard there was just a MAJOR 7.0 earthquake in Haiti yesterday... With the documented death toll in the 100,000s as of now and they are still clearing and pulling out survivors and the deceased.
Just in case people don't know much about Haiti, my father is actually from Port du Prince... and yes I have family there but I have never met them or talked to them. My grandmother sent them money when she was alive as my father does in respects to her. So I did some research since I'm half
(I'm biracial: Caucasian and Haitian), know that it's a VERY poor country, and my father didn't share much about his life with us... This is one of the issues a portion of my etsy shop sales goes to donating for.
My father kept a lot from us about a lot of things but he didn't talk to us about Haiti due to that fact that he was rather ashamed and figured he would get poorly treated if people knew due to the prejudices against Haitians because of their poverty and religious practices. He moved here when he was young and was already made fun of for his name and accent. But he went to school in New York and served for a good amount of time in the US Navy.
Haiti is a Caribbean country that was founded by the slaves that rioted against the french masters. The Caribbean was once one of the three major ports that was in slave trade. They speak Creole which is a cross of French and African. It's unfortunately THE poorest country in the western hemisphere and has a illiteracy rate of 65% and 75% of the citizens are unemployed. They are also known for having one the largest child slave markets due to the lack of incomes and education opportunities. $300 a year is considered wealthy there. So they definitely need a lot of help other then just with the Earthquake BUT
IF anyone would like to or know anyone who would like to donate, you can text "Haiti" to 90999 and it will donate 10 dollars through the red cross (simply added to your phone bill) to help with the efforts. Or donate 5 dollars through Yélé Haiti Wylcef (yele was a member of the former band the fugees) by texting "yele" to 501501.
Thank you...
Sincerely,
Samantha

One word meme
Posted 16 years agoGive me a word, any word. One word. I will do my best to give you a fact about me that incorporates that word in some way.
8 things... getting to know you just a little more.
Posted 16 years ago1. I screen my calls... if I missed the phone and didn't text you back at least... I screened my call or am dead (which isn't possible)... do you really want to know.
2. I may not look like it but I eat relatively right and exercise daily.
3. I usually seem composed be quiet but I'm really a silly goose.
4. I'm easy to get along with but don't have the best social skills.
5. I like card games and d20 rpgs but I either don't know how to play or have very little playing experience (didn't have very many play mates growing up and my dm in college sucked).
6. I got my first kiss when I was 20 (almost 21). Yeah I'm a dork... I know.
7. Action movies turn me on.
8. I'm far better at drawing realistically than cartoons because I've been doing it FOREVER... so I've been trying now that I'm an adult... lol.

Posted 16 years agoSo I probably won't be posting any new art for the next month or two... not sure. I will check in like I normally do but I will be illustrating a children's book and the writer is looking for a June publication. Plus I still have to work on my anime costume for the convention I'm attending next month and I needs my play time since all work and no play makes a grumpy person. So I'll be using my art time hours for the book.

Wonderful 4.12.09
Posted 16 years agoLast night I had a dream
You were there and I couldn't help myself.
So I kissed you... on the nose.
I could feel you
Even every imperfection;
And it was... wonderful.
But I woke up
And you weren't there
So I lied awake with my eyes closed... waiting.
To drift back to where you were.
To feel you... even every imperfection;
And it would be... wonderful.
