Since these are hand drawn and not Graphic Arts I'm going to move this to the traditional art section. Very well done.
Not sure. Hoping to go camping one of these times this summer. Also going to a seminar class thing this weekend till late Tuesday and on saturday...
Yes, I am definitely done with exams. Are you?
I'm glad to hear that. xD I'm finally done with finals and all that. Now just relaxing and doing more work.
Doing fine. How are you doing?
The other stuff between friends and all, that's kind of a mess that is common with teenagers and I guess I'd just say to you that you should be friends with who you can and ride out that storm. There isn't too much anyone can do about what they are doing. I usually avoided these sorts of things and tried to be anyone's friend who wanted to be and ignored others. It's too much a hassle otherwise. As for the girl who has the interest to some guy online who is using a fake picture and such.. I guess you can't really convince her so the best thing to do is watch out for her. Try to stay up to date on things with their 'relationship' and if she ever wants to meet the guy, see if someone trusting will go along with her so she's never by herself. Also, tell her that whether she believes he's real or not, to -never- give him her address and not to give him pics of herself.. especially compromising pics. Just on the off chance you are right, which it seems you likely are, she should try to be a little smart. Also tell her no phone number. If she won't be smart, you be smart for her and keep an eye on what she's doing, even if you have to be amiable with her even as you want to strangle her for being an idiot right now. That's the best I can say and if it seems to be going stupid, you may have to just tell her parents you are worried about her. She may hate you for a while, but in the end, if she's not going to play this smart, someone has to and I would do it because I'd rather have someone alive to hate me in this instance, than someone dead or really burned in other ways because I didn't. I wish you luck and hope it doesn't have to go that far.
Heya Kay, the mother of all nature. xo
Seems to me like it is a waste for a tattoo artist to put on 53 additional stars to her face and well, he'd know he was at risk if he did violate codes etc. I'm almost sure, with how I know the places work, that she has to be lying. Also, it isn't impossible to fall asleep while getting tattoos. They don't hurt that bad at all except if you get them in sensitive areas. It always kind of tickles to me.
lol, PETA is just ridiculous. Swatting a fly is a cry for outrage. These are also the same people that to get their points across on fur will go and pour paint on people donning fur coats. They are semi-violent themselves and I just find them laughable anymore. I do commend them on trying to save animals and such, but they are a bunch of wackos. I prefer the Humane Society to them any day. There are 5 gazillion flies out there and I'm sorry Obama hit one. He also didn't even take time to surgically operate on the thing and remove its wings etc. So he wasn't overly cruel enough. I've hit plenty in my lifetime too because you have to or else they just build up an army inside of a house. I catch other stuff and put it out, but flies are too annoying and fast and they refuse to get in the cup when I call them. So they gots to go the hard way.
Ah, thanks, Invader Jack.
Hello all! I'm going to be doing the Top 5 now, to keep it going on. I can only hope to do as well as DA did for all those years. I'm going to take over where he left off, to give those past videos a chance to be recognized. There are some really great ones and I'd hate for them to have never even been mentioned. So let's sit back and see the Top 5 of February 12th through the 18th. 1st Place: An extremely well put together video that goes with the strong music. I wasn't familiar with the song so Invader Jack kindly pointed out what it was. I really enjoyed watching this video and hope you guys will too. Great job! This was my favorite for the week. By: Kadaj Song: Hide - Red [top5number1]15845579-840c-49e8-806c-9baf0154af14[/top5number1] Click here to see Video 2nd Place: The below video was smoothly choreographed with various Final Fantasy games. The song is has some epic flow that goes great with the scenes. Very well done. By: DarcAyon Song: Unknown Click here to see Video 3rd Place: I haven't tended to see many thought out videos with Kairi and Namine in them, but this one had a song that really fit the mood of the video. By: 84b4fab2 Song: Fences - by Paramore Click here to see Video 4th Place: The song sets the mood of the Kingdom Hearts characters losing one another and then fighting so hard to be reunited. Turn up the volume a bit since the song is so soft to get the true effects. By: MiracleMan Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water Click here to see Video 5th Place: Oh, those poor unfortunate souls! Axel takes the part of Ursula in this rock version of the song and the results are entertaining. By: Eiyoko Song: Poor Unfortunate Souls Click here to see Video Hope you enjoyed the top 5 for this week. Stay tuned for more.
Ask yourself this... What makes someone an adult? Playing video games vs Going out to a bar and getting wasted Watching anime and old cartoons vs Watching a ton of porn Cosplaying vs Dressing up for a football game and painting your face up Collecting toys vs Collecting beer mugs To me, all of these things and many more can be viewed as 'childish' in their ways but they are what people enjoy doing around me and I'm above 21 as are most of my friends. I can't see the 'adult' things people do around me as so much more mature than the things I enjoy doing. Some have even asked me why I have so much junk like comics, toys, etc. Why? Because they help me to be happy and it's a simple joy of life. In the end, being an adult to me is about being 'mature'. Mature means to me that you can handle things thrown at you and you are prepared for life out there alone or working as a team member, to get things done. It's about knowing that this week you cannot go buy a new video game or go out to the bar because you have a commitment to pay the electric bill so that you aren't living in the dark. It means that if you say you are going to do something for a friend or family member, you don't go do something else because it's more fun. It means tackling misplaced emotions such as selfishness and greed, as well as caring how others will judge you, so that you can be content with life, working and making life work for yourself and others who you may come to support. There are things I have outgrown, of course, but I would say that's because I grew bored of them, rather than I gave them up due to age. Do what helps to keep you happy but doesn't cause harm to others. There are many adults who enjoy video games and other stuff or they would not make so many things geared towards adults as well as kids. I've met a lot of adults who are well older than me that find contentment doing things such as video games, old hobbies of collecting toys, enjoying anime or cartoons etc. Sometimes it's been a surprise as to who does those things. As long as you aren't obsessive with it, I can see no harm in any of it and there are some 'adult' vices that can be far worse. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being young at heart. If anything, it keeps you more pure of mind and you are weighed down by things you are going to regret in the morning.
Ah, good ol sibling rivalry. In the end, I'd say you are the one who is better off, having had 2 or 3 girlfriends because you seem to actually take relationships more seriously and you like the girls you go with for a variety of reasons and not just appearance which also says that. He's just out to make a list for himself as to how many girls he can get with and he's being cocky, and apparently he likes stupid easy girls that look good. Your girl is smart, pretty, has a great personality. I'd say you win the sibling rivalry competition in this matter. It's all a matter of perspective and you actually are more caring. Because he sees that this is an area in which you are defensive, he pokes at it. My suggestion: Have pride in how you handle relationships and realize it's not the number of girls you get with that makes you a real man. I'd go for quality of a girlfriend over quantity of girlfriends any day. I wouldn't want to leave 30 or whatever ex-girlfriends in the dust because I have a desire to go out with as many girls as I can, nor risk STDs etc. He's likely hurt some girls needlessly with his ways. If you like the girl you are with, enjoy the time you have and realize he's just teasing and mocking you because you are defensive over the topic. Don't let yourself feel guilty over having genuine feelings for others because one day your brother is going to need you when he realizes how superficial he's being, or he'll calm his hormones down and get his head on straight. Girls will learn as he grows older, as to what kind of guy he is and then he'll have a lot of trouble finding any girl that's not a promiscuous ho. If that's what he likes, then that's good for him. Focus on yourself and your girlfriend and enjoy the time you have together. He's not being cool, though he thinks he is. This stuff does catch up with a guy, whether 1 year or 20 years down the way. Good luck to you and your brother, and I'd just tell him at this point that you and he aren't going to see eye to eye on what makes a guy a real man but in the least, you should have respect for one another because you are brothers. Don't feel you should change or that you are wrong for being you in this matter. It's playing off insecurity. Hope that helps you out.
Well darn. Hope you can come back. One way to come back, of course, is to only download anime every now and then heh. Good luck, Pika!
I'll decorate mine sometime. This is cool though.
Hey you. Darn, that's a lotta bubbles. xD
The quote came from Neverending story. I loved that movie. The giant mountain guy remorsing over the loss of those he couldn't hold was one of the saddest parts. Ferngully.. was awful. There were a couple amusing parts, but wow, it just was not good to me. It was a shame because the artwork wasn't bad. I was glad that group came out with Anastasia because that movie was much better.
Lady Gaga at first to me seemed well.. unoriginal. However, listening to the lyrics of her songs, even if most are about sex and money xD, has been amusing. She has a great way of wording things to make the songs interesting and some of the songs are pretty humorous in parts. Most of the bad talk on her is for her nature and attire she wears, but I think she sounds great, has a way with words that's inventive and her music is catchy. Hopefully she'll be around and not just fade away. Too many pop stars just have the same old thing. She's kind of fresh.
I've always hated chain letters in school and such, and chain emails just blow chunks. I've gotten so many of the things that the only thing I can be glad for is that I'm desensitized to what they say and have entirely outgrown any fears because if any were true, I'd likely be dead now. I delete them and sometimes even tell people if they send me more, I'll have my sweet revenge. xD I don't send them out as I don't want to support them and do not want people sending me anything like that. For some reason, they really ticked me off by how cruel I felt they were, and now I just simply don't care.
Arrgh. xD *gives ya a snow cone machine*
