Listen All You People!

I turn on my computer today, check my email, read some news, you know - all the usual stuff... Then I log on to DA and, as usual, go straight ahead to the message center.
There comes a small shock - where the hell did all those 'activity' messages come from?
...and then it dawned on me... YEAH!!! The recently submitted music connoisseur got me my second DailyDeviation!!! (just as a reminder, I got my first one about two years ago for the swan an the sea)
Now that's just plain awesome...
I like this photo very much and wanted to submit it to some photo-contest, but I wasn't altogether sure whether it was THAT good... but this DD and all the feedback it brought convinces me that I should send it somewhere
First big "thank you" goes to ^bQw for featuring this photo,
and second big "thank you" goes to all the watchers I gained after today, all my old-and-faithful watchers and all the people who faved the pic or commented on it
I'm sorry, but I probably won't be able to answer to all those messages individually - and that's the reason I'm writing this open "thank you letter"
Cheers to you all in this New Year and may every next day be better than the previous one!! (god dammit, I wonder what will happen to me tomorrow then...)

yours

Tom
