More like 2 years since I took this in May of 2009 XD.

TwistedHearts

Alannah actually helped me learn how to edit like this with Corel. it was when we first met!

Duma

I use Corel xDxD
She taught me too :P
Luckily, we've never met. I'm really shy in reality :/

IT'S STILL A LONG TIME ><

TwistedHearts

Well, I've only met Alannah via online lol. Just like you XD. The only person from DA I've met in real life is my sister. And I've known her for 18 years lol.
I'm really shy too, I used to not talk much when in public and made little eye contact XD. Pretty pathetic. I've gotten better though since I started working fast-food :p.

Duma

She scares the crap out of me :|
Relations may help xD
Yeah. I have a physical phobia of crowds and can't talk to strangers... so useful in university...
I worked as a ski instructor! It didn't help much either :( I just had to hide the fact I was terrified of everyone

TwistedHearts

LOL, she scares you? Is she that weird? XD I know she's weird online, but so am I lol. I'm weird in real life though too. Everybody tells me ;p.
Helps with getting some self-confidence, you know? :p
Mmmm, I see. I don't have a problem with crowds unless I'm standing in front of them having to give a speech or if I don't know the area and am afraid of getting lost.
A ski instructor? That sounds fun! At least you were able to still teach though, right? :)

Duma

Definetely. Mostly because she's from down south and i'm from the North ;)
I'm always called weird too xD
I just freeze when i'm in or near one. I don't like being close to people. I'm usually on my own in a hill somewhere. It's one of the reasons I got into photography. It keeps your mind in one place.
Yeah, but still, I don't know what they thought of me. Most adults are surprised I can ski let alone teach ><

TwistedHearts

There's a difference in the US with that. People up North talk really fast and the people in the South are slow.............. in more ways than one lol. My parents are from the North, but I've been pretty much raised in the South. It's interesting to see differences lol.

Duma

Hahaha. Yeah. xD
Alannah and I have always said that we'll meet at the opposite ends of a zoo one day..

TwistedHearts

lol, I have a feeling you guys will. That would be funny hehe.

Duma

No chance :P
I'm moving near her too. We still won't

TwistedHearts

Oh really? Are you excited about the move? I know I always get excited and then really nervous.
Maybe in a couple years then XD.

Duma

It's uni, so kind of :)
Heh. No :P

TwistedHearts

AHHHH! I see! I was excited to start university. Some of the experiences overall could have been better, but I'm glad about how much I've grown over the years. Honestly, DA has helped me develop more than school, but getting a degree from school is what will help me get a job with the combination of what I've learned from DA XD.

Duma

Yeah!! It's the next step really :)
dA helps so much. The amount i've learnt over the years is amazing

TwistedHearts

Alannah helped me a lot, honestly. I think I would've quit photography if it wasn't for her. She was really motivational and helpful. I've never stuck with something like this for so long. I change hobbies quickly, or at least I used to lol.

Duma

Yeah. Same here. The only reason i'm still on dA if because of her and people like that :)
