It REALLY sucks that the good die young and assholes live forever!

Eh, not always the case. It's not really that I've met with assholes, just things didn't turn out how I would like.

Things rarely turn out the way you wanted them to. Sometimes better, But usually worse...
If things always went right, I wouldnt have anything to bitch about

Someone burn you in a trade?

Eh, true true... but I am not thinking my desires are very high.

I'm owed about $500 from various sources.

Also, just generally getting burned from small things.

At most any one it's not something to worry about; but it's kinda like a snowball down a hill.

Damn! My friend does half now and the other half on completion before they receive anything so if shit happens its not a total loss. If people owe you money, Go after them and demand youre money!!! And dont let up! And if that person is an artist them self and you really get the runaround, Let them know that a couple bad journals will cost them much more long term then what they owe you. *As a last resort* Or if its say $25 or more.

I was raised from an early age that people dont fuck with me when it comes to money! Its a topic that makes me rage even if it has nothing to do with me! Squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you dont get pissed off and get on their asses, The longer you wait the less chance you will get 2 cents from them. This is the reason why I wont do commissions and only do trades.

It's loans, not commissions. I've spoken with the people, and in the big cases it's not that I can physically get to them, and they are facing hardships so I cannot do much at all.

One person, who I thought I knew, owes me $300+ alone because I was trying to help her out of some bad situations.

So, it's my own fault for trusting them... just gotta deal with it now. Play the squeaky wheel as you said.

Oh.... Well that makes things a little more complected.. I wouldnt be helping people out financially anymore. As much as you could be helping people, Thats money you could be helping yourself with. If they owe you that much money I somehow doubt youre going to be seeing that much back anytime soon or at all. I was burned some *Friends* and I use that term loosely! I was closer to $1500 in property AND my car with everything inside it that was stolen by a guy he knew when I let him borrow it. Turns out he never even HAD his license.

It was a hard life lesson! Nice guys finish last, And Help out people the best you can But Never give 1 person more then $50 bucks unless you have property in youre hands that can be exchanged somewhere for youre money back if shit happens.

I'm learning from it; *nods* I'm far more cautious about things

And about the whole loss of drive and desire, Ever conciser taking up flash? You can colour something and keep working and playing with 1 pic for several weeks *Or months in my case!*
You can download a 30 day full working trial of flash. And if its not for you after 30 days you dont loose anything
You could even flash some of the pics you already coloured....

I don't really draw... which is what flash seems to be for

Hells no dude! You can do frame by frame animation which I cant do. OR! Like what I do, Just cut apart an existing image and manipulate the separate shapes back and forth a whole bunch of times and you have SEX! You can trace over or cut apart pics to save the colouring. Then you can start learning basic buttons and scripts to get real creative and make youre pic interactive! I havent drawn much of anything in my last 12 flashs on this account or the 3 im stil working on currently or 2 in clean account or old flashs il never upload.... I love helping people learn what I can in flash. Animations are the way to go!

Might give it a try sometime, but for now I'm a bit too busy for it. Thanks for the thought though ^_^

All 3 times

WTF... how'd that happen? >.<

*Magic* That or gremlins...

Let's go with Magical Gremlins. They have large penises and when you stroke them they turn into super cuddle bears

OMG! Magical Gremlins with super cuddle bear looking penises

No No...

Magical Gremlins that turn into Super Cuddle Bears when you touch their penis

So if a Mogwai eats after midnight it turns into a Gremlin. And if you jerk him off he turns back into a Mogwai?
Very random conversation

Yup! Those prudes wouldn't jack off the poor things so they never got the release they needed.

Mogwai's get Horny when they eat after Midnight. They turn into "Gremlins" because they're overtaken with lust. If those damn humans would just take a cock or two they'd save some time.

I mean, don't you get horny if you eat after midnight?

At the end of Gremlins 2, That guy who played the hologram doctor on Star trek let the transsexual gremlin go down on him ^^

... wait... what?

Seriously. Its like the last scene in the movie.

I never actually watched Gremlins... so I don't even know lol

It was Gremlins 2: The new batch. Its an entertaining movie. Just random funny goodness!

huh... alrighty then. I may have to look that up

agreed it does leave a horrible sour taste in your mouth each time you get burned, and you start to think about not doing it again cause of it. *flops* as for lost drive and desire, it'll come back just give it time, find things you enjoy doing :) hiking greenbelts has always done it for me :)

On the art front: It's really a matter of not having something I'd want to work on. I don't want to learn to draw... I don't really have a drive for that ATM... or the attention span ... However, if I see something I'd like to color, I get some interest to do so.

Seeing as  amarimasi has left FA... I've not found much of anything I'd like to work on

*sighs* I am so going to miss your coloration of those. You did such a wonderful job on them.

I may go back through his gallery and pick some if he's still OK with that. Otherwise I might find someone else I have a fancy for

If you ever do I have a few personal favorites.

Link me up hun

T-T I miss both you and Mizzy...

*hugs* I know the feeling hun

We haven't talked lately. Can you get on MSN? ;-;

I'm almost always on MSN. Is it not showing me online?

No O_O
D: I've been missing so much conversation with you!! T-T

What's your MSN?

salemdarrk[at]hotmail.com

Ahh, I had you under an old name I guess

yeah. being nice dont get you much.

It can be great, but sometimes not so much

lol sorry, im a lil pessimistic after being taken advantage of a few times too -.-

I understand

If you ever want to vent some steam, this wolfie is occasionally online, even though he's hiding from the world *hugs tight* You can always note me too... I just want to help you hun.

*hugs* Thanks; but a few little things like this are good for me. I'm feeling better today

*happily licks the glider*

I know what ya mean, it's almost always easier, faster and more "rewarding" to just be an ass.
But it at least feels better to be nice, at least to nice people. I don't mind being an ass to asses.

Eh, I tend to not feel rewarded if I'm being an asshole. I'll be a smartass from tine to time to be funny; but that's about it

Sometimes it can feel good to just, humiliate an asshole or whatever :3

Don't get me wrong, I like to play with trolls... but I try to be nice or funny with it

Well, that's the best way to deal with internet trolls at least x3
But irl it sometimes just feels like the right thing to do :3

I still love ya, sexy glider. Sorry I've been a social recluse lately. Having a bit of an emotional hard time & retreated into my shell.

*Knocks on your shell*

Poke your head out sometime so I can cuddle it
