I know not many people actually pay attention to what I put on here. Still, I am quite certain that the following decision is the right one.

I am removing a good portion of my artwork from this site.

I have been thinking about it for awhile, but as more and more of my friends are getting their art stollen, I realize that leaving material that I might use to get a job or make money with is not safe.

I'm not leaving completely. I'm leaving some of my stuff here and I will still be favoriting things. I love all my favorites. They are pretty much why I joined in the first place.

I also have a stock account now. Please go partake in the madness.

If you are still interested in seeing my new work, please send me an e-mail at geneviverusset@yahoo.com.

Best wishes,
Amanda Anne

I have been heartbroken from long distance relationships quite a few times. I think long distance relationships can and do work, but not for everyone. If you are one of the people with trust issues who is always afraid of your partner cheating, you will probably have a hard time making a normal relationship working let alone a long distance one. Long distance relationships take extra patience, trust, honesty, dedication, and if you want to see your partner anytime soon: a fair bit of cash flow. Also, if the relationship comes from two people who have met on the internet, I would say it is important for both people to know that knowing someone in person is much different from only talking on the phone/im/e-mail/webcam. So much of human communication is body language and those in a long distance relationships normally don't get to witness that often (short visit or webcam) if they see each other at all. Plus, not to be a pessimist but, not being able to be around your partner whenever you want makes it a lot easier for both of you to hide the flaws that you don't want the other to see. (no one is 100% open) As much as I would love to think that meeting someone you have known awhile on the internet won't change much in the relationship, the fact is it could change everything. It's almost like meeting a stranger, a stranger of whom you know lots of personal information. Does this mean that I am against meeting people on the internet? Not at all.

In fact, this Sunday a friend/boyfriend of mine who I have been talking to for 5 years is coming to visit me all the way from California for 10 days. (I live in Wisconsin.) Personally, I am surprised that I am not a nervous mess right now. There is still a part of me that wonders, “What if he doesn’t like me?” But for the most part, I am excited. We have a few plans already made (going to the Milwaukee Art Museum, a picnic in the park, fireworks for the 4th by the lake, cooking lunch together and watching a movie, (Across the Universe or RENT ) and a tour of the city by public bus) but otherwise we are just going to wing it. He is bringing his camera and said he will let me borrow it so hopefully I will get some good shots.

Hope this helped.
