Hello there. I'm Amelia, and I am not new to deviantART. I've had multiple accounts here which are now inactive, and have decided to come back for another try.

I'm eighteen as of June, and live in South Florida with my fiance of a year. We moved here in May from Missouri. I used to train and ride horses for a Missouri Foxtrotter breeder, but that was before I moved. I also used to barrel race and trail ride. Miss those days.
By day I work in a pet shop specializing in birds, with some emphasis on exotics and quality aquatics. We're no PetSmart, PetCo, or Pet Supermarket. We go for quality, professional service. I specialize in freshwater aquatics (excluding chiclids), reptiles (excluding turtles and tortoises), most small animals, and exotics. I'm like an encyclopedia of animal information and solutions.
By night I play online games such as World of Warcraft, Cronous, and Horseland. I also play PS2 games such as DDR, God of War, Prince of Persia, Zelda, Final Fantasy, the Suffering, and others. I don't do well in PVP Halo or Gears of War, or Tom Clansey stuff. I am also an avid animal keeper.

Speaking of keeping animals, I own a small collection (compared to my mini zoo in Missouri.) including a cat, a muscovy duck, a chocolate striped skunk, a cooter turtle, two green iguanas, and four russian glass lizards. =] I love my babies.

I've always loved photography, and have slightly pursued it (though not in a professional manner.). Once I can afford a good camera, I'll be doing more practice. I do plan to enroll in Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale or another local college with emphasis on photography for Spring 2008.
Drawing is another passion which arose far before photography ever could. I've been trying to draw as realisticly as possible since I was three years old. My sophmore year in high school was completely dedicated to developing myself as an artist, however after a few bumps in the road my drawing was put on hold. Now I'm trying to get back into that, too.

I guess that's all for now. =] You all have a good night (or day, whichever it is.).
