This little tongue and cheek stamp was made from my ''Apophysis Marble with Swirls'' [link] with the phrase "Got All Your Marbles?" Just a little ''fun'' stamp. Smile, all!!

*grins from ear to ear* I like being first! Either that or I've been standing behind your shoulder watching you submit. *insert creepy music and maniacal cackling here*
Someone once told me I had lost my marbles.. Not true.. I keep them in a large vase in my bedroom.. You know I will have to have this stamp.. Beautifl!!!!
LOL Yup! Know what you mean......and in my highschool yearbook they wrote "that I didn't have to worry about having butterflies in my stomach when giving a speach...I kept them all at home under glass", referring to my hobby of entomology at that time, and some of my 'Science Fair" projects dealing with the cataloging of North Dakota Lepidoptera..
I can't say I was popular or not in highschool, though I was involved in several clubs and the concert choir and band. I was more of a tag-a-long....LOL I also had been put in an advanced learning group as a freshman and they kept us together as a group throughout highschool. On entering 9th grade, everyone was given an entrance exam and the group of us that scored the highest were kept together as a class...it got a bit tough academically because there were a number of guys and gals smarter than I was. It was a challenge, that's for sure. Other than that, I guess I didn't socialize a lot. I guess the bunch of us were considered the "Brains"....LOL It was tough when I got into college, because I never really learned how to study, or manage my time and almost flunked the first quarter...after testing out of basic classes and got dumped into math and chemistry classes with the majors....OOoops! And, a fellow in my highschool group that struggled to get "C's" ended up on the Dean's List in college for that reason... Live and learn, I guess. I guess I wasn't challenged enough back in highschool.
I have always been a loner.. I loved and hated school.. I wanted so desparately to learn but kept batting my head against a wall.. Later when my youngest daughter wad diagnosed with dyslexia things started to make sense.. I was kicked out of school right after I started the 10th grade.. I was never able to go back and finish.. I am totally self educated.. I bluffed my way into Berkley gfor auditing classes for two years.. That was fun, but it didn't get me any diplomas.. My drive to learn as much as I can still keeps me searching for more inforamtion.. My latest was learning to use the computer.. It has been just a little over 3 1/2 year since I got my first one.. Next was learning to make fractals.. It has become a passion..
Never stop learning....it keeps the mind active. I have a brother-in-law that is dyslexic, too. To pass his state plumbing license exams, my sister would read the regulations and stuff to him when he was studying for them. And, it worked. It helped him understand if he could hear it as he read it. I found that my memory works along that line, too. I would read stuff aloud while memorizing. It was a trick I learned when it came to memorizing music in chorus....we'd read the lines and/or sing them, phrase by phrase. First while reading, then by repeating it without looking at the music. It worked quite well. I found that it helped come test time in other classes, too. We'd outline everything and do the ol' recital bit. I had a teacher back in the 8th grade that was old school teaching....we had no written work while we had her...it was all recital and memory. I learned a mess of poetry back then. It was tougher when it came to math, though. She even had us memorize the Dewey Decimal System used in the libraries.
When it comes to computers, I have to do....reading on how to do it just doesn't register with me at times...LOL Fractals are neat! What I so enjoy about them is that I never know what I'm going to find hiding in them whenever I open the application....always something there to surprise one!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
