I suppose it's a dream of most every artist to get their work published in some way, shape or form.
Well yesterday, I learned that dream would actually become reality for me.
I entered a contest a friend showed to me, called "Celebrating Art" with my drawing of Boston Bruins' winger Milan Lucic.
For this contest, there are two stages.
The first, is to be accepted to be published in their collection-book of art from the contest.
The second, is to be labeled a "winner" (there are 10 winners for each age group of the contest).
The second stage goes down on Tuesday, but for now, I still get to rejoice in the fact that someone out there thought I was a good enough artist to decide they wanted to publish my artwork.
When I got the email about it, I was happy beyond belief. For a while now, I've longed for something to put my name to. Everyday I'm surrounded by people who all have an amazing talent they excel in, but I had yet to discover such a thing. Now, I'm one of the happiest/proudest people in the world.

And So it Begins...
In a mere couple of days, I start my first year of college!
For the past week or so, my mood's been yoyo-ing dramatically between
and
Ultimately, I do know that once I've moved in and started classes and lapsed into a routine, that normality will dispel the majority of any fears I'll enter with. And honestly, I am very excited to begin this new chapter of my life. I know it won't always be a perfectly great time, but I have faith that everything will work out one way or another!
Plus, I'll be studying art, which'll be über awesome! :squee:
And, not only will I be close to home (about 1.5 hours away), my roommate is to be the wonderful :d
Boston Strong
So for an [early] graduation present, sunshine81795 (https://www.deviantart.com/sunshine81795) took me to the Bruins game last night against the Sabres.
It was very surreal, to say the least.
At the beginning, there was a moment of silence to honor those affected by Monday's tragedy, and then they showed a tribute video overlaid with the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips of how courageously the city responded. Amidst cheering for the images of the brave men and women who stayed strong on Monday and ones showing further support for Boston, I definitely cried. I was not personally affected by what happened, but being in a stadium with thousands of people, many of whom were affected
Boston
My heart and prayers go out to those who were affected by the tragedy in Boston today and their loved ones, and may those who lost their lives rest in peace.

It Can't Rain On Shinedown!
And thankfully, it didn't.
So basically, ~sunshine81795 (https://www.deviantart.com/sunshine81795) had plans to go see Shinedown, but when I learned of the pricey ticket price I backed out, opting to instead save my money for smaller, more general uses.
Well, we still wanted to hang out, so we made plans to go bowling on the day that would've been when we would've gone to the concert.
About halfway there, when we were lamenting waiting in the car, she asked if I knew what would make it worth it, and pulled out a ticket for the show, informing me that the bowling was a lie and we were gonna go see Shinedown after all!
The show itself was amazing. The opener, Beyond the Fall w
