I was back in Point Pleasant yesterday, so I got a couple more photos to show off. I'm not showing them all today, but here are a few I think you'll find interesting. No mood pic today since I've got enough pictures up as it is.
Thanks for being there for me everyone, I really needed the support and you all cem through for me. I am in better spirits today thanks to you all.

Shireishou:
I hope so too.
MyOtaku is a great community with a lot a great people. It surprised me to see that kind of thing being said. I guess maybe that staffer doesn't get out into the community that much to really know how great a place MyO and TheO really is.
You've been a great help to me too, a lot of people have and that's what makes this place great. If you have a problem, mention it in a post and all kinds of help and feedback usually come.
There hasn't been a reaction yet, but if no one brings it to their attention, there probably won't be one.
Magnus Lensherr:
I'm glad you stopped by and saw that. A fitting tribute to a good friend.
I'm so glad you said that, I'd be worried sick if I didn't hear for you at least once in a while. You know, you have to keep in touch with me so I can keep my promise to tell you when my novel is in print anyway.
Don't say "were" if you intend to keep in touch.
redmoonchick:
So am I.
You know, that's really sound advice. Thanks.
Angel Slayer:
In the long run I'm sure he'll see it was better that way.
InuYashaFan4-ever:
It never gets easier to lose a friend, I've been through a few already.
I'm getting better now that I've had some rest and am seeing things from a more level perstective.
Mine was a woman.
necury:
I'll miss her too.
It's been a little rough for me, but I'll get through it. Hopefully things will improve as the year goes on.
I'll just point you to this since it's easier to do that than try to get into the nitty-gritty here. NOTE:The code is still buggy, so you may need to scroll down the page a little to get to the content.
DarkFaerie88:
I'm not sure if she saw that or not, but I'll pass it along to her when she e-mails me.
Kiki-tink:
I don't take friendships lightly, so even when a person choses to go a different path, I like to keep in touch to know they're all right. I've been e-mailing kout3uka lately too, it's nice to know how people are coming along after they chose to move beyond MyO to other things. I'd worry if I didn't know how they're doing.
It wasn't an unexpected incident, but your concern is appreciated. Last night was the result of giving a very tired dragon some unexpected news. I could pull a gem of a quote from Ster Trek V, but that movie was terrible so I'll just say I know I've got a lot of good friends here, and you've stood by me when I needed it, and been there to pick me up again when I fell. That's priceless.
timechaser:
It is.
You and I are a lot alike because those are the very things I do to ease my troubled mind. Nothing beats a good cup of hot tea, sweetened with a little honey. My sister found some white tea for me yesterday, that's good stuff.
I've been on both sides of that line at one point or another, and I'm happy to say I like it on this side, the side with common sense than the other. Reacting on impulse is good in theatre, it's not so good when maintaining some measure of respect for yourself is important.
I can't say that I was 100% sound when I posted this, but that's the post that covers my reasons for not listening to the TheO podcast. If you want to hear the offending remark from so long ago, I have that too. My personal opinion is that yes, it's a good thing you haven't listen to it from the beginning, but it's not really an objective one, so I can't say. I'm sure the community there is great, but I'll stay away from it for their sake, I'd only end up causing trouble due to my bias, and no one likes a board troll.
Wow, that's kind of scary to think about, but it's a great example of that doctor's dedication to his work.
It's been years since we made that stuff, I'll have to try to talk my Mom into helping me figure out what we did wrong the last time so we can get that syrup again. It's good stuff, goes great on French Toast, pancakes and waffles.
I'm picky about stuff, but I like to keep an open mind in terms of animé. I like to check the bargain bins at stores, that's were I found some real gems including Gasaraki which, made in 1998, eerily reflects the political climate and resulting US-led Invasion of Iraq in 2003 It's kind of cool actually. I haven't read the Kenshin Manga yet, but I've seen the animé (some of it anyway) and that's been pretty good.
There's a lot going on in her mind that makes her that way, but I do think seeing positive feedback on the art will inspire her. If nothing else, she'll be asking me to draw someone else in a ridiculously out of character moment, which I have fun doing. I used to be very shy about my art too, it took me a while to put my first piece up online here, once that went up and was well received, I started putting more up.
alphonse13:
Now you know.
I'm feeling all right now for the most part, I'm more tired than anything else.
Yensid:
I hope we keep in touch too, I'm one of those people who worry about friend when I dont' know how they are. I think she's being very responsible with respect to handling the problems she's mentioned in her posts here. It takes a lot of courage to turn and face those things about us. I have my e-mail address up to give people a way to get in touch with me off MyO. If you ever do leave, take that with you and drop me a line once in a while, that's all I ask. Oh, and don't hit me with it when I'm tired either.
'm sure there's a word for it, but I couldn't come up with it to save my life yesterday. A lot of things have happened, but I think because they happened so close to each other, that kind of compounded till something had to give. I'm doing a lot better now, thankfully some rest and the little side trip was some good medicine. Yeah, it helps to have someone listen, even talking out problems to a tape recorder (sounds silly) is a help because it lets you release some of the emotions that are jammed up. You've probably noticed by now that I'm a bit more expressive than most guys, I probably learned that in theatre, and that's another help when your feeling down. Get out that collection of Edgar Allen Poe stories and read "The Tell-Tale Heart" out loud, and in character, you'd be surprised how frightfully insane you appear when your'e working with emotional energy. I should record my reading of that and put it online for you to hear. I've never been called sensitive to my face, but I've been given the impression some people think that of me.
Some people would see a constructive comment like that one as bad, but I don't. I welcome comments that suggest other ways to do things, that's how I learn is through the feedback I get. Yeah, there's a lot of high end stuff out there for the big boys in the business, but when it comes to simple stuff, the tutorials can be universal. I think I know where to find some info on coloring/shading in layers that I might be able to port over from Photoshop to Pixia.
I may be out of the sinkhole, butI won't know what the future brings till it comes, so I'm hoping things will be brighter than they have been for me too. I've suffered enough without having a job these past seven years, I think the Fates own me a few breaks.
Caprice:
I understand her reasonng too, it's just sad to see someone leave like that.
I am feeling better now, thanks for the concern.
I mentioned it before, but I'm going to mention it again, congrats on your art being used for one of the stories on TheO.
