AURGH! I keep trying to create an avatar that DA will accept... but no luck! I googled some instructions, followed them like a good girl... but to no avail. This is frustrating.

I manipulated, saved, shaved, cropped my little heart out, but I still can't get it right. Grrrr...

I see all this really creative avatars (I'd love to know how some of them are created)... but I can't even get a stinkin' little ol' jpeg to work.


Sigh.

Great...
I just composed my first online journal entry in DA and Explorer decides to give me an error message and close. Hmm... is someone trying to tell me something?

I was just thinking about how inspiring it is to be exposed to all the creativity here on DA and whether it is too late for me... having had no encouragement or opportunity when I was "younger."

I am certainly proud of my son, "The Real Neix," but secretly wish that I was him in some ways. To be free to write and create is a gift. Maybe this is a gift I need to give myself.
