Fan Art Challenge: Valentine's Day '10

Offline for 1 Week

I made a bet/deal with my boyfriend that I could stay off the laptop/desktop or any sort of that for a whole week. (This is also for my own benefit, lol. XD) So after today, I won't be on till the 26th, or 27th.

For those of you who are waiting on me to finish your requests and whatnot, you will probably have to wait awhile longer. Sorry! I was going to get to the challenge winners first before the other requests still undone from last year, but I thought I'd just do them all in order. =T

One person I know will be reading this post is AvariceTears. Your most recent request of Akinauni and Ezio is listed 15/16 total requests. I have another one of your requests I have still yet to do which is ordered 7/16. See full list.

That's about all I came to post about. Apologies for the huge delay! I'll try my best to work on these requests while I'm offline. =X

Roleplay Accounts & Requests

What's with people playing roles of Bleach characters? I don't really get why they do that; I find it really weird. >_> Like can't you just be yourself?
And I don't know if these people are already members on the site, but created new accounts to roleplay. If they did, I think it's a waste of space, and theO should delete those accounts... >_> Not to be mean or anything, but I'm just thinking about how... not beneficial it is? Iono [what I'm saying anymore]. XP I'm just wondering if it's like taking up bandwidth/making theO pay more for unneeded accounts. I don't know how accurate that is, lol. I don't know how it works, or if I'm using the right terms. @_@;
But I do think it would be a good idea if theO started clubs/groups, that sort of thing. 8D

Well aside from that, I'm finally done with all the apology art for my Secret Santa event. @n@ Now I can finally work on the requests from a bunch of other people that I never got to. ><; After that, I'm planning to take in more requests. XD I'm thinking of giving out free chibi-like doodles, lol. What do you guys think? 83

Subscription Cuts

So AvariceTears motivated me to do this; thank you! :D

I have always wanted to take people off my list of subscriptions, but didn't have the "guts" to because I was afraid of how bad it would make the other party feel. But after reading an article on deviantART, I think different. Read this:

4. Comments are never a given thing. Never take comments for granted. That said, appreciate and answer all feedback! A "Thank you" doesn’t take one minute to type and it means a lot to a person who’s spent more than a minute to comment.

And that is what I do now; for my subscribers who regularly comment on my things, as I do with them, I don't always reply with a 'thank you' because I don't like to fill my comment boxes with those. But it is implied, which is why I started adding the footer to all my submissions:

. . .
If you hug and/or favorite, please leave a comment!
Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
Thanks to all those who leave comments!
. . .

And if it's someone who I'm not subscribed to, I go to their portfolio and comment on their stuff in return. It's how I do it now.

Anyway, this post isn't a lot to worry about for most of you who are probably reading this (which is my subscribers), because many of my subscriptions were not mutual (). But it's something to learn, lol.

And there's just something I always wonder... I have so many subscribers, but what are they doing subscribing to me when they don't seem to be coming on my page? XD

Happy New Year! 2010

(Wow, I haven't posted here in awhile, lol. It's a good thing I don't spam you guys with my nonsense, huh? XD)

Well, it's a new year alas! Happy 2010!! I think that number sounds so cool... Twenty-ten... X'D

Well, I don't know how New Years Eve went for you guys, but for me, I went out with my boyfriend and his friends to watch the ball drop (NYC). Unfortunately, I didn't actually get to see the ball drop because the smoke from the fireworks covered it... =_= And the whole experience would have been more enjoyable if my feet weren't bathing in my boots, lol. x_x; And unfortunately, no videos or photos... It was kind of really packed, so we hardly had space to reach into our pockets to get our phones, lol. But I wouldn't regret having gone; it was a good experience although not exactly most amusing. It was the time spent with my boyfriend tonight (yes, I recently got back—It's 2:37AM) and having experienced it with him... =3 I just probably won't go a second time. XD

Anyway, a new year! Time to think of those resolutions... XD
A couple I have in mind are:

  • Lose weight (10-20lbs, maybe?)
  • Procrastinate as less as possible
  • Be more organized
  • Get all those requests done in a timely manner!!

...And I think that's all I can think of right now, lol... Don't discourage me! >O<
What are your resolutions? =)

...I'm hungry. D8

More Doodles and Rant

I just got my Logitech mouse!! Surprisingly, it came so late at night, though. O_O Now it's so much easier to browse through stuff; better than using the mouse that came with t...
