And that's why I'm proud to be your friend, because of things like that. Anyway, I'm getting a bit stressed right now. So much I have to be doing, and I'm on a time limit. I shouldn't even be typing this, but I just need to vent a little. God, I have never multitasked liked this before. There are literally like 20 things I'm doing, both on and off the computer, and I'm starting to struggle.
No no no, it's fine, it should all be fine by tonight. I just have to do a heck load of stuff right now. Spiderses may have to be delayed as well, sorry. I'll try and get it done as well.
Venting helps but we don't want to keep you outrageously long. Anything that we can help with doing, perchance?
Yeah, if you could just stop being such an awesome community and making me want to come back here every 5 minutes, that would get my work done much faster!
Words of encouragement are always quite powerful. Take one thing at a time and soon it will all pass. Try to have fun with it, too! To an earlier post: I hardly think MLP is related to "coming out" in the sense that it has a huge imp[act on your life (by comparison). While my friends are aware that I have watched the show, I don't tell them about my writing nor that I follow it quite in depth as a fan. They don't care and would disapprove if I brought it up since I'm the only one who really likes it. On the other hand, I've shared my work with my sister who is pretty ecstatic about the whole thing (namely the writing in following in my mom's footsteps). She's the only personal acquaintance that has seen it. Everyone else just knows that I'm "writing something." I like it that way. Anyway, whether you tell everyone about your passion for the show or not is up to you, but even if you don't, the internet is obviously loaded with people you can talk to all about it. That's comforting enough for me. My best advice: Take all things in stride. You can get upset or offended. Love and tolerance, hehe.
Go away Lup, you're not wanted here! Go do what you have to do......I felt bad saying that, even if I was joking...I love you man! Careful about those brownies, I_Ride_Ponies. I was doing something similar and when I opened the oven, the heat wave caught me off guard and I stumbled backwards and banged my head...
Baking brownies is serious business. So far, my only problems have all been related to my online college courses. Yay for new systems that both teachers and students have to learn? Now if only one of my classes would actually get stuff up. And another one has so much orientation related things and handbooks to go through. I don't know where I'm going to get the time to read it all.
I'm glad that there's a thread like this. I've had a lot of problems in the past, a few now, and will have some in the future. Needless to say, it's great that there's a thread like this where we can help each other out.
MESSAGE ABOUT THE THREAD: I may be taking a break from here for at least a day or two due to a breakup I just had. I'll be fine, I just need to chill for a bit. Anyway, back to replying. I'm also glad there is a thread like this now XD
latelly ive been having some teerrible nightmares and cant sleep, when i fall asleep i wake up all sweat and with pain all over my body. anyone have a piece of advice?
I guess I should type out the thing that constantly bothers me. Well as some of you know I'm rather good at drawing ponies, I even take requests for peoples OCs, it's something I take joy in. Well I'm pretty sure all of you know how good Virgil is right? Well when I draw I hold myself to a ridiculously high standard to draw as good as him and when I don't I feel miserable about my ability as an artist. What makes it feel worse is when you add in the fact that I've been drawing for 10 years, and am still not that good(I think the older you are the better you get mixed with your experience, but whatever). Anyway, when I give someone the request they ask for they usually to ,"OMGILOVEIT!" for a few seconds. That should be good enough right? Hell no. Although they enjoy the work I've put forth it leaves a bittersweet taste behind because while they enjoy it, I still don't. Afterwards I'll realize this and feel completely selfish for wanting to draw for me, so I practice more so I can make everyone happier, but during this process I'm left alone with my thoughts and I'll do the usual nitpicking that every artist ever does and eventually I'll hate the very thing I just made. Then the process repeats. Feels good to get that off my chest.
