Today is World Hello Day - Go say "HELLO!" to the world (or maybe another deviant )

Dear Santa,

I have been a very VERY devious girl this year. I think we both know that I've worked really hard and despite those naysayers.. never EVER doubted that you exist.

As such, I would like to request the normal stuff.. a cure for cancer, world peace and some environmental happiness but in addition to that..

I totally want some new deviantWEAR!

Clearly, I need the new set of stressballs, sometimes the dArama can get to be a bit much and without them, who knows what could happen. Besides, the cats really enjoy them too so it's like a double gift. Also, it's very cold over here in Canada - being from the North Pole, I'm sure you can relate, and as such I would like the NEW vert hoodie in small and you should probably pick one up for yourself (maybe not small mind you.. just saying!)

Moving along! the stickers are a must have as I need to apply deviantART pride to my luggage and finally, it's obvious that I need a llama shirt (women's medium) to honor the llama that serves us all.


I hope this isn't too overwhelming and you find it in your heart to make my holiday wishes come true.

I will leave lots of cookies and a big glass of milk for you (perhaps a tequila shot if you wish)

Wishing you a merry holiday,
Love,
Danie

I'm often questioned as to why deviantART doesn't have a music section and I have formed an almost automated response as a result of how often this question comes up. I don't know if people really believe what I'm saying, or don't understand but this story here may help to shine some light on the litigious music industry and why we have taken the stand we have.

When they're sending in undercover reps from the labels into karaoke bars to find copyright infringements... that's when you know we're not ready to play in that particular pool of insanity.

Maybe one day, I'll never say never.. but man..

I think this particular story goes a bit far but maybe that's a rash judgement, what are your thoughts?



Update! Apparently the story is a tad sensationalized (and that link above doesn't seem to allow everyone to see it) but here is an updated version of what went down Even the un-sensationalized version creeps me out a bit

We all need to learn to appreciate the little things because when we take things for granted, the world shifts on it's butt and tells you hey... it's not the way you thought it was.

Life is a journey, not a destination and mine is a work in progress
