I like listening to Meiko and Gumi and VFlower quite a bit. Right now I am entranced by Okame-P's works. v uv Especially the older stuff.

Well I can't do anything about your opinion if that's how you feel. Also if you've been in that situation and that's how you handled it well then I commend you. However. I am my own person. You don't know me or my character. I've never been the one to ask for help. The fact I am tells you my pride has been pushed aside because that's how deep of a hole I feel I am in. Asking for help should not be looked as shameful. Would you tell the same to someone going through depression and was actively seeking guidance? I am not requiring that anyone give me donations. If they do its out of the kindness of their hearts and frankly that's what the world needs more of and I could not be more thankful. Not everyone can afford it so that's why it is optional. But at least I am compensating for it and not just taking from those who are generous enough. I still appreciate any gesture given like kind words as well. Those are just as valuable to me. As for my job it was miserable there anyways. It is kind of hyprocritcal to lecture someone about keeping their cool if you have ended up unemployed for the exact same reason. At least my altercation did not end up in an actual confrontation. I feel as if I was justified and validated in my feelings and standing up for myself and not let myself get bullied. Given grief when it was not warranted over something I had no control over was rude especially when I did not provoke that kind of actions to make fun of me. And I'm currently employed as a hostess so it's not as if I'm sitting around like a lazy person hoping others will come pay my bills. I even have another job set up. I don't drink or do any sort of drugs. This was a campaign to help me back on my feet because I am still greatly suffering from depression over the incident. This was not something I could have ever anticipated and was not ready to deal with. It was right after Christmas/New year's which ruined the good spirits I was in. It was not about what was stolen. My safety and security was taken from me as well and all the months of hard work to pay for a house that ended up being violated. I use to be a heavy sleeper. I'm lucky if I can get a good nights rest now. I did not paint a sign on my house asking for it to be broken into so I do not see how I brought this on myself. I have endured a lot of hardships in my life (abuse, foster care) I have never had anything handed to me or given to me on a silver plater. I've been supporting myself since I was 19. Paying my own bills. My life has been the furtherest from easy. I have keep pushing myself though even when it was hard and still doing it. This just was the final straw for me and set me back. For now I am going through the motions so I can keep supporting myself (barely). That doesn't mean I am all better or not going through a difficult time. I don't think its fair to judge me or act like you are somehow better because you overcame your problems. Life isn't a competition. It's not about who has it easy or worse. Everyone should receive compassion though whether you think so or not. Even when living paycheck to paycheck I would still give a bit here and there. Nothing big. Maybe a bag of chips to some one who was hungry or a couple of bucks because for one, that wasn't going to put me out and two, it felt good to give something most don't show. Which is some empathy. Maybe get off your high horse and be supportive rathee than trying to kick people when their down. Despite your jaded outlook I still would like to give my best to you and wish you good fortune because maybe you think tough words are how to console those with their heads hung low.

Thanks :D And if you have any artists you recommend, I'd love to know more, I'm hoping to commission a few people, see which art comes out the best and ultimately have that person do some illustration for book.

Probably not. Most guys pursue when they want something and once they have it, their efforts lessened. Same goes for females as well. Most females 'love' only through a condition. Talk it out. If nothing change, then that's the end. I know it's different with everyone but that's how I see it. After all, it is apparently his first relationship as mentioned so obviously he's unsure how to act after getting into one. You may need to be patient with him and maybe ask why his actions changed. Just saying because he is now comfortable isn't a valid answer. It's a relationship. It's not meant to be entirely comfortable. There's always smooth and rocky moments in a relationship.

i can't find Plawres Sanshiro anime when selecting anime on this website. also i couldn't find Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go. those are very old anime. do they have different names or something?

Well, I got to meet Charles Martinet (voice behind mario) and I was freaking out. It's about the experience. We all know that vendors sell pretty overpriced stuff, but they need that support. If you like their artwork or crafts, than support them. Also, there are some vendors that sell fairly priced items. You get to say I got this from ______ con, instead of oh.. I bought it online. There are plenty of panels and events to enjoy too.
