I'm just going to cut to the comments today so I can hurry off to finish what I was supposed to have done yesterday.

The comment manger in the backroom is a wonderful addition to the site, it lets me see comments posted to older entries sometimes, so if I see it, I'll respond to it.
I hear that, though I've never been one to have a whole lot of friends, and I've never gone out of my way to travel to meet with them (I couldn't afford it anyway). I feel I belong here on MyOtaku, at least here my interests are respected and encouraged, unlike my real-life situation. You tell an interviewer your into art and they automatically assume you can't do a good day's work. West Virginians are by far the most ignorant people I've met in my life, that's based on my experience, I mean no offense to anyone.
While I do enjoy the ocassional drink, it's never in a "medicinal" sense. The best reference I can think of the one episode of M*A*S*H, and that when I think I need something like that, I know I really don't. My art, Zen Garden, and meditation are my medicinal retreats from anxiety.
I'm a little tech savvy, but easily frustrated with it too. I've tried looking for a telecommute position, but most of what you find online in that field are bogus scams trying to rip people (namely you the "employee" off. I've even applied at hotels for housekeeping jobs (though that job is murder on the back) which I could do, going back to my previous job, but it seems impossible to get that kind of work even. I'll tough it out because I can't afford not to, I have to have an income source soon, otherwise I'll be in serious trouble.
Naturally, I hang in because I'm too stubborn to know when to quit. My art has been anime/manga inspired for three years now, so I post what I can here, but I keep some thing to myself.

Not serious enough, I have a lot to learn about CSS if I want to do things right by the new HTML standard. Reading source code isn't hard if you know even basic html coding. I don't have luck with Word, so I do things my way, but Caprice is a lot better than me at that technical web stuff like HTML and CSS.
I have no formal art training, I got my start on the Tech TV Anime Unleashed Big Board, their main general topic message board for the anime related programing that was being run till G4 hijacked the channel. I dont think I'll be able to afford formal art training of any kind, and there aren't any schools that I know of which remotely cover the styles I want to be able to draw, so I have to put together my own course, then teach myself everything. Granted I won't have a piece ornamental bathroom tissue to hang on a wall that says "I'm an Artist" but then again, I'll let my style and art speak for itself.
I cut the ones that were over a year old, and some others that weren't going anywhere. Actually, less than half the people I had on that list even knew they were there. I was using that as a sort of bookmark thing so I could keep my eye on certain pages the easy way. I'm glad to have done it, and I've stirred up a couple "new" contacts that I'm keeping up with as regularly as I can which is fun for me. I'm sure they could do a different system, that popularity rank is the leading cause of the site's bog downs every time they put it back up, so it's not working on technical level and needs to be scrapped for something better (That and I'd be happy not to see ranking at all, I hate popularity contests with a passion). Since I don't know how to write code (this probably goes into MySQL territory which is way above me).
That's quite all right, I like seeing that I'm not the only one who's not afraid to use the keyboard when online. I'll let you know about the pictures, that's a promise.

When I was relatively new here on site myself, I always loved to be the first to comment on someone's page too. As long as I make the effort to stay in touch, I'm sure we'll be friends for a while.
I envy anyone who can get hyper, since I can't myself. I suppose that's a good thing, but it has its drawbacks too.
Hopefully those pictures will be up this week if I can help it, the one I have to ask my friend about first, since I am drawing his Role Play character (message board role playing), I should probably get his okay to post it here before I actually do. The other one I hope is a good attempt at being funny (I'm rarely funny in my art), my sister came up with the idea but she commissioned me to draw it out. I 'd say more but where's the fun in that? I'll be sure to post a message when the pictures are up.

The Bebop chibis are an offline thing, they won't be put up here at all. As soon as I get them done they go to my sister for whatever she has in mind for them.
If I was really tired, I'd take that the wrong way, but since I'm rested I know what you mean. I just speak from the heart, and sometimes it doesn't know when to stop talking. That shows a passion for the subject I'm speaking about usually.
I don't know anything above basic HTML yet, I really wish I could learn some CSS and maybe a little javascript to do some more things with my page here.
I'm committed to improving my art so I'll do a little bit every day, and right now a lot so I can get all these pics that piled up finished. I don't post a lot here yet, that's becuase most of my daily stuff is just messing around and practicing stuff that I don't really want to share with anyone. I have to get batteries for the digital camera before I can take some more pictures. The one rose bush has new buds on it that I want to shoot sometime.
Well, I don't have steel toed boots for nothing you know! I'll keep kicking butts as long as they get in my way.

I'm trying anyway. I may not get to update every day, but I will try to be at least once a week with my updates.
I will do my best to let everyone know when my pictures go up.
The questions promote communication, because sometimes people like me don't really have a lot to say about a topic in the post, but when we see something beijg asked of us, it's an encouragement for us to open up about things.

Well not really new, I've just reacquainted myself with some of the people I met here, something I should have done a long time ago.
All's well with me, I'm getting things done.
I get those inside the house here, but that Texas Flyswatter takes care of them!
Don't study too hard it'll make your brain hurt.
Anime Dreams!
