SWITCHED ACCOUNTS!
Yep, I couldn't wait out the last two weeks of my premium membership. I just had to go on ahead a switch over.
This account will no longer be updated. I will however be switching back to it to monitor the CATS-ARTIST fan group until I can figure out a way to switch out my new account as Founder. This account won't be deleted though, so all of my old art will remain here.
My new account is 
- bare with me as I try to get use to the transition! I hope to see you there.

So addicting...
Oh my lawl.
I'm addicted.
Addicted to what you might ask? Pinterest.com. You have to request an invite to join the site, but you are never turned away. It allows you to browse the internet for art, pictures, trinkets, food, clothes, etc and pin them to your page so that you never loose them, and if it is something you can buy, it links you to the site you can buy it. It a sense, it is a photoblog, and totally worth looking into. 
Mine is pinterest.com/aeodom/ . Check it out!
Possible New Account?
Evenin' y'all!
So, I'm thinking about creating a new account, and if I decide to do so, it will be right after my premium for this account runs out. If I do create a new account this one won't be deleted. I repeat, this account WILL NOT be deleted. I just am tired of my "user name" and since all of y'all know me as Cayran or Cay, I feel it is best if my deviantart account name was just that.
If you follow me and want to continue to follow me, please keep an eye out for a journal pointing you in the right direction of my new deviantart home page. I just need to start fresh.

I saw CATS!
Evenin' y'all!
If any of you follow the national American tour of CATS, you know that currently the show is in Charlotte NC, which is about an hour or so from my home town. Anyway, although I had planned to go see the show tomorrow night, I went tonight instead with a friend, and only one word comes to mind when I think of the performance; MAGICAL! Okay, so many more words could describe just how awesome it was, but you get the picture.
My friend and I had orchestra level seating (which was wonderful), and because my seat was on the aisle, I got up close a personal with the cats that ran up in and down my row. One of the highlights of the evening was when Plato knelt down by my seat and began playing with my hair. You can only imagine how thrilled I was. I was in CATS fandom heaven.
Okay, on to interesting facts about the show. Tantomile and Coricopat were not included in this production. Instead, Jerrie and Teazer acted their part in some scenes and sang their lines. I was sad to not see the mystic twins on stage, but everyone else was present and accounted for. The costumes were a mix it seemed of the original American version, and the Japanese version. For example, Demeter looked a bit like the Japanese Sillabulb, and Tugger resembled his Japanese counterpart as well. Nevertheless, the mix between the AmericanJapanese looks really turned out well.
Sorry to disappoint you die hard Munkustrap/Demeter lovers, but they really didn't interact all that much save for the moment after he and Alonzo(the American brown/gold version) saved her from Macavity. It looked like he gave her a sort of "pity" nuzzle . Instead, Munku was ALL OVER Rumpleteazer. It was rather precious actually. She isn't the queen you'd think they'd pair him with, but for some reason, I noticed them together more than once. It was obvious that Mistoffelees and Victoria were siblings in this production, for they interacted by pawing at each other, quick nudges, and even Misto playfully pushed her down once. Misto and Cassandra were a pair. I kid you not, right after Munkustrap "scolds" Misto for thinking Jennyanydots's song is his, Misto goes to Cassie, and they practically almost make out. No lie. My eyes got real big, and my jaw might have dropped just a tad. I liked it though. 
They also did the mating scene together, so they were obvious. The other noticeable pair was Alonzo/Bomba.
I was rather shocked by just how good the singers were. Grizabella was fantastic, as was Munkustrap and Old Deuteronomy. Tugger was pretty impressive as well, as was Jellylorum. The only singer I was disappointed with was Jemima. She just wasn't what I expected. Despite her though, it was all fabulous. On a final note, let me just say that the guy who played Munkustrap was SUPER TALL. He towered over everyone, was so very hunky. Also, the man who played Misto was surprisingly masculine as well. He was limber and lean as Misto should be(and semi-short), but I was pleased by the fact he wasn't portrayed as a sissy. Also on another Misto note (can't you tell Misto is my favorite?), when he was "Quaxo," he asked more as a second and or third command rather than a kitten. He and Alonzo would always stand guard with Munkustrap, and I LOVED it.
Lastly, my favorite scenes were Growltiger's Last Stand, Mr. Mistoffelees, and the Heavyside Lair. If the show heads close to you, I would recommend going to see it. It was wonderful experiencing the magic of CATS yet again.

Graduated!
Howdy ya'll!
So I did it! Finally a college graduate! I got my bachelors degree in music with an emphasis in vocal performance. Despite all that is going on in my personal/family life at the moment, getting that diploma made me extremely happy. Now I am looking for a job, any job! Although I would love something in my field, at the moment, I'm not going to be picky. I'll try and do anything, and eventually, I'll make it to where I want to be.
