You guys, I’m honestly tearing up right now. Like, you don’t even know how loved you’ve made me feel. It’s been a totally horrid day and you guys just… wow. I don’t even know how to thank you all. When you’re going through stuff like this, it’s so easy to feel like no one cares, and I’m sorry if I came off sounding like I didn’t care how you all felt about me. I was just ready to break at that point, and I did eventually.
But again, I can’t thank you all enough. I’m hoping things will clear up and I appreciate all the support I can get. You guys are seriously amazing - I couldn’t ask for a better internet community to share my hurts with and expect them to pick me up again. Thank you. <3
little_chef_eva09: OMG I’m really sorry to hear that! It sounds like a really stressing situation your family is in. I’ll definitely keep you in my mind for my prayers. I hope things will improve for you soon. In the meantime, just remember: smooth sailing never made skilled sailor.
(Vitani voice from TLK2- [I can’t resist thinking of that]) Testify! Seriously, I don’t get why some girls actually can’t wait for that to happen. There’s nothing to look foward to in that.
Current Mood: Somewhat stressed
Reason: GAH I’ve got a lot of homework and I’m sneaking a break on here.
Current mood: Tired and slightly agitated
reason: I’ve been up till 12 reading The Bretheren every night, and irritated becuz I gotta do HW. The Bretheren wasn’t that bad a book!
little chef: Sorry to hear about your family situation. Keep your head up high. Even the darkest situations find light. Never give up hope that things will work out… there will be light at the end of the tunnel! Like Chris said, we do care. We’re here for you to keep your spirits up and give you the encouragement and support you need. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mood: Frazzled
Reason: I feel like I am in a whirlwind right now. I have so much homework that I am constantly working on one project or another. I love the projects, I just feel like I don’t have time to stop and breathe! I’ll make time this weekend though when I go see Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D.
Reason: I’m going on a vacation tomorrow!! I’ll be gone until the 5th, so if you don’t see me posting away like I do, it’s cause I’m gone (unless we bring one of the laptops with us, then I may be able to get a few posts in during the nights at the hotel) Sure it’s not the longest vacay ever, but hey, this allows me to see the Toy Story double feature, which is always a good thing!
little chef: (Why I didn’t notice this for first time?) Oh my, I’m sorry little chef. I understand your problem very well, my family too have the same problem 3 years ago. It’s hard to live back then, we have to struggle and sacrifice everything. I hope your family are doing well. Cheer up, buddy! Hope you and your family will through 'em all.
Mood: Heartbroken, but relieved and reassured at the same time.
I won’t get into detail, just I know someone I care a lot about doesn’t hate me and is still my friend, and another was being nasty and standoffish due to family problems, so at least it’s not me. I hate being the problem; I’m working to fix all and any trouble I ever caused.
Reason: I’m glad that little_chef is feeling better, and I hope her situation clears up soon Always glad to help out.
I’m a bit worried, because I think I’m starting to get a bit used to watching Up now. I’m not getting as much of an experience from it recently, and it’s got me kind of spooked. I’m gonna take a break after I hit 50 (and believe me guys, I’m gonna hit 50 hard!) and save my next viewing for November 10th, unless it stays in dollar theaters for another few weeks afterwards, I might catch it once or twice after that if it does. I’m starting to get the idea that 100 before the end of the year is gonna ruin it for me, I’m gonna have to be more moderate than I thought. sigh
Anxious, because I got to talk to my sister’s mother-in-law today about my artwork, art school application, and she’s pretty much become my art tutor now! This is a VERY VERY good thing for me, I need something to push me to draw more, and on top of that, in mid-October, Kansas Institute of the Arts is having a portfolio day, and,… get this,… a representative of Ringling is gonna be there. RINGLING. The school I plan on going to for animation. I’m getting my tail there! I’m so excited to finally be able to have more motivation for my art, and I’m gonna get to talk to representatives of the school I wanna go to! AAAH! Gonna work on my still-life for my application soon, I think it’s gonna end up awesome if I do it right.
Wow, a triple whammy for you this week, little_chef? I hope your computer and financial troubles can be resolved posthaste. As for the third, I’m a dude, so I can’t attest to that. But yeah, I’ll be prayin’ your worries will be over soon. Lots of people doubt the ‘tangibility’ of friendships over the Internet, but I think we all agree that our connections, not matter how brief or distant they are, are as ‘true’ as any in real-life. And that’s the beauty of Internet communities. We may never meet, but we may have affect each other in ways never thought possible.
*End soliloquy
Tomorrow should be a good day. Hang in there, little_chef.
I’m feeling that same weird ‘dissociation’ since I’m graduating this year, lizargirl. Sigh Life moves on…
I’ve posted an elaboration on the contest thread, but the short of it is, maybe a deadline extension is in order?
Tell us which ones you got (Hope you bought the Wall-E Issue 0, I’m really interested to read that!).
ffdude: Good luck with Ringling, I’ve heard great news about them. Pump out as much awesome artwork as you can, and get ready to ‘flog’ em’ at the enrollment! Show em’ the money!
We have a half day at school tomorrow! I’m so happy! and I also got the Mickey Mouse & Friends and Muppet Peter Pan books last night! . I was looking for some Pixar ones but they’re always sold out
I can’t believe I almost made a week without coming on here! It’s sooo strange…
Anyways, tomorrow is Sprit Day for Homecoming week and we have a game Plus we’ve learned all of our marching show, and it’s been fun learning it. Just cleaning it up for the competitions from here!
I also got a pedicure today, and that was very nice and very relaxing. I should go more often
Mood: Thrilled and Excited
Reason: I love animators. I was in the animation studio tonight talking with two of my fellow animators and helping them out. They’re animating a character throwing an object for a class I had taken last year. One of them random pulls out a muffin that she had just baked and threw it at my other friend. From there, the muffin flew back and forth until both had sufficiently figured out how they wanted to animate their throws. Good times in the animation studio! And I’m excited to go see Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D this weekend!!
Current Mood: Tired, slightly irritated, but very excited!
Reason: Combination of my work tonight (which actually went well for once, I was expecting a bad night tonight) and my heart medicine.
I’m slightly irritated because, as of about 15 minutes ago, I’m not allowed to eat or drink until about noon tomorrow. I have to go in for a test at the hospital for my heart in the morning. They have to stick an IV in my arm (ugh, I HATE needles) for 2 HOURS and pump me full of nuclear medicine (no, seriously, nuclear medicine) and monitor my heart. After that, I get to take my magic pill of super tiredness, but after that,…
MOVIE TIME! WHOOO!
I’m gonna have an absolute blast tomorrow afternoon, I’m gonna go catch the Toy Story Double Feature, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and Up! I’m super excited, it’s gonna be awesome. I think it’ll have to be either TS-Up or Up-TS followed by CWaCoM considering that Up only plays until about 7:40, and I’m sure the others are much later sine they’re in their first runs. Regardless, it’s gonna ROCK! Whoo!
Reason: Just watched a new Up featurette, based on the score (thanks a billion times over again rachel!). I lose my flipping mind watching new stuff on the film, it’s INSANE. I love Up so much, I still don’t understand how far it will go! I’m continually blown away by everything about it. GAH! Anyway, enough of my geek rant, I’m gonna finish browsing on here. Hehe.
You guys are seriously amazing - I couldn’t ask for a better internet community to share my hurts with and expect them to pick me up again. Thank you. <3
