01/15/11--14:07: COME AND PLAY! (chan 2616599)




So here's how it goes...
In the comments below this journal, I'm gonna spam a load of questions.
Go wild and answer to each of them as a reply, I wanna know your answers :D
Also, if you wanna ask me and everyone else a question, (within reason ;P ) Write it as a new comment and we will answer.

I tried this once before and somehow between us all it got mixed up and confusing :giggle:


03/12/11--08:26: BI-WINNING! ;D (chan 2616599)




Oh, hello new subscription ;D
Yeahhhh, that means the polls are back! Sorry guys ;P
I'm gonna be uploading some more of my photography exam shots, so pretty please can you all let me know exactly what you think of them. Your honest feedback is gonna help me, A LOT!
Yay, levitation! :heart:

I finally saw the M.E specialist last week, I am now offically a member of the elite club ;D

As always, thank you all for the faves, watches & llamas.
They're much appreciated!! :heart: :heart:

aaand, if you wanna add me on facebook..  Vicky--Louise@live.co.uk
I made a new account, just for you guys :aww:


03/15/11--15:34: I had depression.. AND WHAT?! (chan 2616599)




Dear 'normal' people,
yes, I do take medication on a daily basis to make myself more like you.  As it was so nicely worded to me a couple of days ago, I "have a fucking mental illness".  Mine developed from having Glandular Fever, which led to M.E, which is actually a pretty common sequence.  So please don't call me "weird, really weird" and make me feel like a freak for not having the luxury of perfect health.
I only 'pop pills' to decrease pain in my body. Both, emotional and physical.
You need to realise that if I do not take my prescribed tablets, I WILL NOT lose my mind and be a personal risk to myself,

03/30/11--11:36: xXxBLUExROSExXx - Feature. (chan 2616599)




I suggest you all visit the page of :iconxXxBLUExROSExXx:
She's amazing, and she helped out so much without even realising.
I have a lot of love for her right now!!
So go go go, visit her gallery and spread the love :aww:

04/01/11--08:39: Oh shit, dA be trollin' (chan 2616599)




Totally forgot it was April Fool's day today... Until dA shoved that face on my journal edit >.<
I was gonna write a serious journal, but I think I'm gonna wait 'til tomorrow now ;P
I'm curious about what else is going on though, 'cause my icon hasn't been changed to Lady GaGa this year.

Oh, dA admins, you do make me giggle :')


04/02/11--12:57: Hug meeeee! (chan 2616599)




I'd love a hug right now...
Anyone need a hug? I don't mind travelling :aww:


04/12/11--16:20: I wasn't spamming, I was being polite... (chan 2616599)




Okay, so I was going through my build up of messages, thanking people individually for the watches (some dating back as far as Dec 20th).
dA has now banned me from commenting on anything because it is considered as spam =/
I have no idea how long its gonna go on for.
So I'm sorry if I am unable to reply to your comments for the moment. I promise I am not ignoring you :heart:


05/04/11--14:33: Please help, it'll only take a couple of minutes.. (chan 2616599)




..AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!

My photography exam has to be finished by tomorrow, but I have 2 blank pages which I wanna fill with feedback ...
Please can you leave a comment on these 2 pictures for me, it'd help me out SOOO much!
:thumb206515572:   :thumb202183468:

Thank youuuu!
Mucho Lovage for you all :heart:


05/09/11--17:11: I Wanna Hear Good News! (chan 2616599)




Tell me your good news!
There's so much shit in the world to get down about, so lets all scream out what's going well for us (:

:bulletblue: As I was walking outa college a couple of days ago, some guy shouted "SMILE" at me as he drove past. Not gonna lie, it made my day!
:bulletblue: Last week, I completed my photography exam (:
:bulletblue: I no longer need these anti-depressents, so I'm coming off them.
:bulletblue: I watched an amazing thunderstorm a couple of nights ago, from the top of a hill with some of my best friends. It was awesome! :heart:

Just comment with something that's making you happy right now :aww:
Lets spre


05/20/11--14:50: Everyone, meet Liam (: (chan 2616599)




So me and my friend, Liam, did a shoot yesterday. I laughed so much.
We were LIONS. :D
Here's the first photo from the shoot.
:thumb209613596:
You better get used to our faces together, 'cause there'll probably be more collaboration stuff from us :aww:
...I haven't told him that yet though. So, shh ;P


05/22/11--10:06: EXPOSED! - Project X (chan 2616599)




It's about time that I finally accept myself and stop hiding my flaws.  I have decided that instead of being so self-conscious about my imperfections, I will expose and embrace them.  After all, no one is perfect, and I am definitely no exception.

I am naming this project, Project X.  Just because it sounds cooler, kinda like a secret mission! :D
I've created Project X, to make myself feel comfortable with who I am and how I look.  However, as I am sure you're all happy to hear, 'exposing myself' does not mean I will be whacking out every inch of my body in a big naked photo. NUH-UHH!
I will be se


06/02/11--18:21: Confused. (chan 2616599)




That is all.
No details.
Tell me what to do.


06/24/11--05:23: I Remembered How To Smile.. (chan 2616599)




Hello, beautiful people! :heart:
I have nothing but good news (:

:bulletyellow: First off, thank you to all my new watchers. I haven't quite had a chance to thank you all individually yet, but I will get there eventually, I promise (:

:bulletblue: Everyone that regularly reads my journals and info about my photos, will know that I have been taking antidepressants for the last few months. Yeah, well, not anymore! I got my smile back! I'll never let it leave me again :D
... I may have had a little help with that though. So I have a lot of love for my friends and family for being so amazing and supportive :aww:

:bulletpink: There may

07/17/11--05:49: Woo, dA brought my messages back (: (chan 2616599)




^ Yeah, so I'm back to replying to you all as quick as possible :aww:

Also, I watched the first live action Death Note last night. I may be a little bit in love with L :giggle:

Thank you for all the new watches, faves, comments, and llamas :heart: :heart:


07/30/11--16:08: Let's Play A Game! =D (chan 2616599)




Some of my 'longer term' watchers will remember I've done this before.  But since a lot of you guys are new to watch me, Imma do it again cos I loved reading you answers last time.
Here's how it works...
I'm going to post some questions as comments on this journal, then you just reply to them with your answers :aww:
Simple.
You can all answer whichever questions you like. And if there is anything you would like to ask everyone aswell, just post it as a new comment.

What are you waiting for? GO GO GO

:heart: :heart:


08/08/11--19:45: SMILE! (chan 2616599)




'A smile is contagious' and all that...
I'm smiling, so why shouldn't you?!
Here, everyone get infected ;P

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


08/09/11--12:06: Tell me what to do. (chan 2616599)




I don't know what kind of photos to take.
Like, I have loads of ideas, I just don't want to do them =/
I am open to suggestions :D


08/16/11--14:35: 30 Day Challenge & Message Backlog (chan 2616599)




First off, I currently have 281 new watchers (some from July) that I still need to individually thank.  I will get there eventually!
I also have 217 comments that need replies.  Again, I will get there eventually.
Sorry for being so slow... Its Summer Break ;P

Now about the 30 Day Challenge...
I have officially started on the 16th August (:
I've decided against having a theme, because I know that I'll begin to lack enthusiasm if I do >.<
I will not be uploading all 30 images to deviantART.  So if you wish to see the whole series (or as many as I actually take) add me on facebook... Vicky--Louise@live.


08/19/11--04:01: WOWOWOWOWOWOW!! Thanks Guys!! (chan 2616599)




Oh my gosh, so on the 16th of this month, I had 281 new watchers who's profiles I haven't yet visited, but now 3 days later on the 19th, I have 561.  I think I'm going to have to stop doing this and just thank you all in a journal >.<
Its more important to me to reply to all your comments instead :aww:

So yeah, I just wanna say hello and a masive thank you to all you shiny new watchers! :heart:
And of course thank you to all my long-term loyal watchers too! :aww:
I really appreciate the support and all your lovely comments.  I get the cheesiest smile when I see that there's messages waiting for me :giggle:

Thanks


08/25/11--11:30: When Did This Happen?! (chan 2616599)




So I left my computer with about 300 messages that I needed to reply to, 2 days layer I sign in to 7,623.  I'm never going to get replies to all of your comments, but I just want you to know that I will read them all, and I appreciate you taking the time comment :tighthug:
Thank you all for the favourites, comments and all my new watchers :aww: :heart:


08/29/11--14:23: The 'Beauty Messages' (chan 2616599)




I think I've finally decided to stop taking so much crap from people, I don't deserve it, no one does.
In school I lacked so much confidence and just accepted any insults thrown at me as true facts.  I cared too much about what people thought of me, people that didn't like me and knocked me down to make themselves feel better.  I've done some growing up and you guys have helped a stupid amount with that!  I'd like to thank you all for every positive and constructive comment that each of you have written to me, I honestly can't thank you enough :heart:
I guess a lot of kids in my school didn't understand me beca


08/31/11--04:20: Comments Disabled. (chan 2616599)




I am no longer allowing comments on some of my photos.
Sure, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but unnecessary hate is getting annoying.
"You are ugly go die" is an example of this.


09/05/11--15:41: So I'm Back, Fighting ;) (chan 2616599)




Let me start by saying that I'm totally behind with messages.  I have 1,400 comments waiting for me, 400 replies and 13 private notes which I am yet to reply to.  
Unfortunately I'm going to have to stop replying to every comment, its becoming a bit impossible, I'll certainly read every single one though!!!  
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last journal, private noted me, or wrote on my profile regarding the recent hate.  Lets just say I was slightly pissed that certain people had misunderstood the image and hadn't bothered to read about its meaning before giving me a load of shit for it.&nb


09/18/11--16:21: These are my thoughts right now... (chan 2616599)




I'm ill.
I'm paranoid.
I'm jealous.
Without my friends, I'd be lost.

09/19/11--13:47: Welcome back, optimism. I missed you yesterday! ;D (chan 2616599)




^ That's about it :aww:
Oh, and add me on twitter, pretty please?  I need to get me some followers!
I'm still learning though so I'm not a very good Twatter yet ;P
Follow me and I'll try to follow you back >.< _Vicky_Louise_

09/25/11--13:11: cxjudjcfvnghk (chan 2616599)




In a bit of a weird mood tonight.
I'm not smiling, but I'm not crying either.
My mind is going crazy with thoughts about how things could have worked out differently if I had made different choices and stuffs O_o
If you could change anything about your past, would you?
And if so, what would you do differently this time around?

(I'm not in a very chatty mood, so even if I don't reply to all of you, I'll still read your comment)


10/04/11--15:19: Update, guyzzzz! (chan 2616599)




Sorry for being dick lately, with not going on here much and everything.  I haven't forgotten you, I promise. Mucho lovage for you all :heart:
I may not have a new upload for a while though, spending this weekend in Plymouth with the boyfriend :3 So excited!! I miss him a lot!
Also, I'm gonna meet this wonderful man for the first time :devyrzael: Lets hope he's not creepy, eh? ;P
I hope you are all happy and well! :heart: :heart:


10/06/11--16:23: Would anyone like a visitor for the weekend? (chan 2616599)




So for a while, some girl has been pretending to be me on facebook.  If she likes, she can have my boyfriend (now ex) I can't promise that he won't get with other girls though.
I think its wise that I called off the Plymouth trip, him and his close female flatmate aren't the first people I wanna see on the weekend before my birthday. (October 10th)
But hey, my bag is all packed and I was excited to go away, it seems a waste of time to unpack it and stay home.  So who wants an upset girl to cheer up for a couple of nights? =P


10/13/11--09:25: To anyone who is interested... (chan 2616599)




I did go to Plymouth in the end and everything is sorted out between me and Nick :heart:
From now on, I think he realises that I should be the only girl to get him covered in lipstick ;P

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes.
In all honesty, I think I got more 'Happy Birthday's from you guys than people who I personally know :tighthug:
Sorry for not replying, but I did read each of your comments (:
I was so tired on my actual birthday, but it was still good to see my family and my bestest Bean! :aww:

I have some new photo ideas, but at the moment I am undecided about whether or not to disable comments in the future.
I love


10/18/11--12:08: Possibly the most perfect answer ever :3 (chan 2616599)




Me: Don't you ever get scared when you let people in?
Nick: Not when its people like you.

:aww: :heart:


10/26/11--15:31: Weird mood. (chan 2616599)




Here, have some smiles.
Not enough people smile at randoms for no reason...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


10/26/11--17:57: Its a long story and I don't wanna talk about it. (chan 2616599)




:(


10/30/11--13:27: Add Me On Twitter To Annoy My Boyfriend? ;D (chan 2616599)




Basically, I have 2 facebook accounts, one for personal stuff, and one for you guys ;P
But I just have the 1 Twitter account that I now use more than both facebook accounts put together.
So add me, pretty please? _Vicky_Louise_ / Vicky--Louise@hotmail.com
...I have more followers than Nick and its annoying him :')

Also, thank you so much for all the love on my last 2 journals.  
Sorry for barely replying to any of the comments, but I did read them :heart:
...Everything is better now, thanks :tighthug:

And hello to my new watchers :D :D


11/10/11--07:59: Sorry for being a let-down, guys! (chan 2616599)




There's so much stuff happening right now!
New tablets, lotsa college work, busy weekends when the boyfriend comes home, blah blah blah!
I will take new photos soon, but until then, don't forget me! :D
Reading your comments always makes me smile, so let me know what's making you smile right now? :aww:

As always, your favourites and comments are MEGA appreciated, and hello all you shiny new watchers :heart:


11/13/11--13:50: Because its true. (chan 2616599)




So as you all know, my boyfriend Nick is at a university 200 miles away from our home.  I see him at weekends if I'm lucky.  The situation isn't perfect, but he is, so I refuse to let a couple of hundred miles in distance break how close we are emotionally.
         There is someone out there for everyone, they just might not live as close to you as you'd like. Keep searching and never lose hope. :heart:


12/19/11--16:56: FUCKING HELL (chan 2616599)




Where have I been?! D:


01/03/12--03:18: Sorry Guys. (chan 2616599)




Meh, kinda vanished again, but I'm back for the new year :aww:
So tell me all about your Christmas and New Year? I wanna knowwww :D
Also, who has any new years resolutions?

I hope you are all well :heart: :heart:


01/18/12--10:33: Nick has dA :D (chan 2616599)




Right guys, I think he's a bit disappointed with dA purely because he hasn't had much attention yet.. What a woman ;D
I want him to like it here, but I need your help.  Please give him some love :heart:
http://nickasab.deviantart.com/ Here's his profile (:
Thanks, guys! Mucho lovage for youuuuu!! :tighthug:

01/19/12--10:24: Feature. (chan 2616599)




Thank you to everyone who welcomed my Nick to dA, I love you all! :heart:
It means a lot to me that not only do you support me on here, but him too.  It shows how lovely you truly are!
But there's one guy who stands out to me, he always gives me such a huge smile across my face everytime he leaves a comment on my profile. So how about you all go and give him something to smile about too.

:iconmacdieter:  :thumb190849086:  :thumb187385220:  :thumb278101664:  

Everyone please visit his profile, favourite your favourite of his deviations, or leave him a nice comment :aww:


02/03/12--14:57: 52 Week Project: The Explination (chan 2616599)




As most of you know, I have M.E and a bunch of other mild health issues.  Because of this and all my college work that I'm behind on, (as per usual) towards the end of last year I stopped taking so many photos.  Not gonna lie, it saddened me a little.
To get back the balance of college work against fun in my life, I have dedicated myself to a 52 week challege to ensure that I continue doing something I love, photography.

Basically, my challege is to take a self portrait each week, that is different to any from previous weeks.  
I tend to get myself into a style, then just continue without really progressin


02/20/12--13:06: And just like that, she vanished... (chan 2616599)




These last few days I've been scaring myself, so its time to fade out for a while.
I'll still continue with my 52 week project, but I won't be replying to any comments.
I'll be back soon though when I feel more like myself.
In the mean time, please don't forget me. At least someone needs to remember who I am, even if I can't.
:heart:
