Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

there are more watchers.

♣ Good luck! ♣
Minor update: changed from 1111 to 1000 watchers.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

do you ever...

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 16, 2013, 4:46 PM

^{... go through old things you wrote years ago at 1am?
uh. that's what i'm currently doing. i love this mood i'm in sometimes, at night. the house's perfectly quiet, i'm the only one awake, and i feel.. peaceful. i've been working on a report i have to write for uni until half an hour ago. i often work better at night. then i've opened dA and dunno why, i went through old journal entries i posted years ago. there's the first one, quite fun, where the frenchie me is a bit afraid of all the english word on this site i was discovering. there's one where i was listening to

[link]

and gosh, i forgot how i love this song. i'm listening to it again and again for 20min, with headphones on my ears, sound reverberating in my head. there's one where i answered a tag, and i'm gonna answer it again now:

- 5 tv shows you have been watching or are currently watching -
pretty little liars / ncis / x factor / the voice / ellen
- put your ipod on shuffle and name the first 5 songs (don't cheat!). if you don't have an ipod, just randomly name the first 5 songs you see in your playlist -
shoot the moon - norah jones / side - travis / ruled by secrecy - muse / waltz #13 in D flat, op70/3 - chopin / mk ultra - muse
- last 2 movies you have seen -
project x / and i can't even remember 'cause it's been so long
- the book you are reading now (if you are not reading any write down the last one) -
i'm reading "la révolution des fourmis" by bernard werber
- a game you have been playing recently (pc, play station, wii, whatever) -
just dance 4, wii
- your favorite way of being entertained -
watching some stupid things on tv or playing the piano or looking at inspirational pictures. in fact i have no idea

and i now feel suddenly exhausted. 1:36am, my teddy is waiting for me on my pillow. he has this hole in his chest that i have to sew up for months. funny how it appeared at the same time than mine, now that i think about it.

it had been so long since the last time i wrote in a dA journal. i'm not sure someone is actually gonna read this and to be honest it doesn't really matter haha. my thoughts go to the lovely people i've met on here through the years. they'll know who they are. and to any other who accept my free hug..!

have a nice sunday
xoxo}

J'ai lu !

, tu as pu recoudre ton nounours ? Je suis plutôt de la nuit également ! L'inspiration vient plus souvent la nuit !

*PutYourBraveFaceOn Feb 21, 2013

Hey ... I have enjoyed reading this Journal and listening to that beautiful song again.

The night has always inspired me. It is magical, peaceful and mysterious. It gives a sense of intimacy that the chaos of daytime can never bring.

And, yes, I often find myself reading or watching or listening to something that I created a long time ago. It is strange, but soothing at the same time.

~MorbidHarlequin Feb 17, 2013

_{Some times... I think it's a great feeling being awake in the dark. I've done a lot of my writing in the early hours, lying awake then suddenly a thought or a rhyme suddenly comes into that dark space in my brain, then they come more and more and I can't find sleep because I have so many ideas. Have you ever gone walking on a summer night and noticed how alive you feel, maybe because it's not how we are supposed to do things normally, but at least for me being awake at weird times and doing things like that are a little joy in life. Finding old songs you used to love is another little treasure that doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but when it does, it’s such a pleasure to listen to those lyrics you used to know so well, but somehow forgot with the passing of time. Yeah… I think a lot of little pieces of happiness lie in the quiet darkness. So in short, yeah... I guess I do.}

=Zwoing Feb 18, 2013

Yes, I totally understand this. It's so easier to me to write at night too. As if my mind goes suddenly free and connect itself to my hands. Walking on a summer night? I have, and have felt everything you're describing. I feel so alive and aware of my body, thoughts, of everything around me even if I cannot see them in the dark. Last time it happened to me, I was facing the Atlantic Ocean at night, after shooting long exposure shots. Everything was so perfect, and I felt wild free.

~MorbidHarlequin Feb 24, 2013

_{Yes, it's like any restraints and reservations you might have had in the waking hours suddenly with the daylight. You can hear your mind better, feel your soul a little stronger. It's almost a magical feeling I think, something that connects us back to the earth or something like that. That must have been a magnificent experience, I can only dream of walking on the sea shore at night someday.}

=Zwoing Feb 18, 2013

Writting down everything that cross your mind sometimes makes you feel more peaceful

You're totally welcome, I appreciate all your support and kind words, people like you warm my days
