A while ago, I bought the painting "A Warm Embrace" from the fabulous who paints some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. It took me long enough, but I have finally gotten the painting framed and hung, and I wanted to share it with everyone. The framed paintings can be seen in my scraps here [link] and here [link] . However, I am not much of photographer, so to have a good look at the painting itself, see her deviation here [link] . Don't forget to have a look at the rest of her gallery as well!

A commentary contribution from ~Ari-Anwen on me that is to be posted in my journal:

"1)You are my favourite cradel-robber, and I hope you never change <3
2)Try jogging twice a week for 20 minutes. It sounded easy for me, but it's actually so hard to keep up.
3)Red and/or Purple. Does that make you passionately gay? Or... a sexy royal?
4)I like how you can put up with Mitch's Microsoft propaganda. I dunno how. It must be a well-developed life skill, I tell you.
5)My clearest memory would pobably be the 2+ hours of "I've never" in the Splash Mountain ride, along with the singing on the ride itself. (or Japanese pirates! Haru Haru Haru >: D )
6)You remind me of that rabbit with the teeth from Monty Python.
7)Why did you not pop out a little later and graduate this year? :
