I live!

1 min read
Hello everyone! Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been on DA for about a month. But most of you have probably just forgotten that I exist.
~
To those of you with whom I have been rp-ing and I've suddenly disappeared I apologize!  Life and school have really just taken over all my time and DA is such a huge distraction.  I will try to be on more often but I cannot promise I will be on as much as I was before.  I will try to answer the rps, and to those of you with whom I converse outside of DA that will have to be put on hold for a bit too.

I am so sorry! I miss you all but school and real life have to come first for me.  But I will never forget DA! I will be back!

This was just a meme i stole off live journal because i'mm sick of seeing my angsty journal as my featured. 
Alright so here we go!

Book Meme
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...
5. ...along with these instructions.

Let us think no more of it, and apply ourselves to useful knowledge

Hmmm, words to live by. (From Mary Renault's The Persian Boy)



"[...]Of course[...]" 
From Jonathan Stroud's The Golem's Eye, the second book in The Bartimaeus Trology.

Yeah, just heard something that makes my heart hurt.  I feel like such an idiot right now........
I really shouldn't feel bad, but I wanna cry.  Just frustrated tears at my own stupidity.  But nothing will come out.  
Why is it that when people feel sad their chests hurt?  It feels tight,  like someone stuck a hand in there and twisted all my insides.
I need to forget about some things.   A lot of things.......
Something's wrong with me, there's some wire that doesn't quite connect.  It keeps me from getting what I want.  And instead it keeps playing these feelings and memories on endless repeat.
My stomach feels bad.  Just bad.  The thought of food makes it churn but I won't throw up either.  At least that would be a distraction.


I have to say this to someone, something, because evening knowing almost no one will read this,  Or care,  someone will know how I feel.  I will have gotten these bad feelings off my chest.  Loosened some of the tightness.  Dulled the stupidity I feel by putting it into words.  And keep the tears that are hiding right behind my eyes from actually coming out.  Or maybe letting them flow free.

Just today my dad came back from a business from Mexico.  He stayed in a fairly nice hotel, did a good deal of work while there too.  And, being the wonderful man that he is, he brought us back presents.  He brought back my mom and I necklaces, and mine (though definitely not even a quarter of the price of the stuff you'll see, my dad is loving, not insane) was made by a designer called Michal Negrim.  SHE IS AMAZING! HER WORK IS BEAUTIFUL!
Check it out here at her site: michalnegrin.com/
This is the kind of stuff you buy someone once a decade (unless you're rich, then hey, go crazy you lucky b- uh, person)
I just felt like this stuff was really worth sharing.

Here's some stuff of his I managed to find on DA:

Please copy and paste this in your journal, and spread the word! It is important that as many people know this as possible for the safety of baby deer, everywhere! }}

----

I've seen many, many photos on DA of whitetail fawns that people have found in the fields and woods, and some of these fawns have been picked up and held for "photo-shoots", or even "rescued" and brought home.  Please, if you find a fawn, don't touch it, pick it up or move it,

unless it has been left in a dangerous area and MUST be moved (a roadside ditch, for instance), or if you absolutely know for SURE that the mother is dead (hit by a car, shot by a poacher, or whatever), or has abandoned it. A doe may occasionally abandon a fawn if she has had twins or triplets and one is disproportionately smaller than the others, or she may be a first-time, inexperienced doe which has been scared away from her fawn before she was able to bond with it. Just because you don't see the mother, that doesn't mean that she has definitely abandoned it; she is probably right nearby. Fawns are left to "hide" in this way by their mothers; this is totally natural behavior!

After giving birth, the doe cleans the fawn, feeds it and moves it away from the birthing site. Then she leaves the fawn alone for eight hours or more while she feeds, drinks and her milk replenishes. She returns to the fawn several times during the course of a day. A fawn is not strong enough to run with the doe until it is at least three weeks of age, and when very young, it will appear unsteady and shaky. Since fawns have NO ODOR, and their natural instinct is "freeze behavior" for the first two weeks of their lives, it is unlikely they will be found by dogs or coyotes (unless tripped over). Staying with her fawn would give away its hiding place. When a fawn is removed by humans or a predator, the doe will continue to look for it for two to three days, continually returning to the area where she last left the baby.

Also, it is a MYTH that human scent left on a fawn will cause the mother to reject it, so if you must move it to keep it safe, don't think that you have now doomed it to die. If the doe is still caring for the fawn, she will lick the human scent off at the next feeding. And if the fawn starts to "bleat", when you try to touch it, the doe may just come immediately to its rescue. In that case, problem solved! Touching the fawn (again, only if absolutely necessary) will signal to the doe that it must be moved to keep it safe. Without the human scent, the doe may not realize the fawn's hiding place has been discovered. This is the quickest way to determine if the fawn is being cared for because the doe will move it far enough away that you will be unable to find it again. White-tailed fawns will not travel great distances without the urging of their mothers. If she senses danger while caring for the fawn, she will move it to the farthest part of her range rather than the average 50 feet or more that she would have moved it if there were no danger!
