Hey Balisong. I'm not sure if you like celebrating Christmas. But I wanted to send my cheers to yah . I hope you are well and staying warm. Take it easy ^__^.Peace

Aw, thanks. I didn't see this until today, but I needed it

Your welcome.I'm glad I helped ^__^

I have removed the offending thread and all comments associated with it, if it makes you happy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why would that make me happy? Have you also removed the offending thoughts from your head? As someone who was very prejudiced in high school against a group of people, I'm telling you now that you need to go out and meet and speak to some muslims, especially ones from other countries. You'll find they're exactly like any other human beings on this planet - some are fucked up and most are psychologically normal and just trying to get by without people trying to screw up their lives because of racism.
If I was entirely off-course about the news comments, fine I was wrong in that regard and I actually felt bad about it until I got near the end of your rant. You are a very close-minded and ethnocentric individual – I have NEVER before read such hate-filled garbage from anyone I’ve known personally. I am not exaggerating. Just when I think I’ve heard all the bullshit I’ll ever hear from people, someone like you pops up out of nowhere and shocks me.

OH, if you find me shocking ... I would tell you that likely, many people feel similarly, they are just much more polite about their opinions.
And no, I shall not remove the offensive thoughts from my head.
I in fact *HAVE* known a decent number of middle easterners. They have further impressed upon me that if they aren't the fucked up ones, they have been fucked up by living near the fucked up ones.
For all the news watching and reading you must do, your head is in a HOLE if you think I am an odd minority who blatantly hates a large group of people for their actions. You must understand, like them *I* am human too. If you can care for them, but hate and be shocked at me, I think you should reconsider.
It should also be easy to understand that my opinion is very divided. I maintain subjective and objective opinions on many issues, the war / the middle east being one of many. Subjectively, I HATE them. Objectively however, I voted for Obama because I wanted to see the war ended in whatever way necessary, but he is continuing it. I understand that there are very good reasons for modern war not being waged the way old war was [where you fight to win, not to be politically correct] ... and I would not see America "bomb them to hell", despite the fact that it's a thought that makes me feel better when I feel most hateful. Mainly, completely destroying a country [despite that they deserve it] would not stand with American ideals [which I think this country sometimes no longer cares about...]
I voted for Obama for other reasons too though. Mainly, whether or not global warming is a big issue [i know its very heavily debated], I think that America should take a bigger stand on lowering carbon emissions. Obama was suggesting I think a 17% cut in emissions. I don't think the economy would be that hurt, I think America would rise to the challenge of cleaner energy, if forced. Of course, the senate would have to also pass a global agreement like that, which is unlikely, I think.
Anyway. You, I think, do not use your life effectively. You have such passion on these subjects, but you work a job that has nothing to do with them. You shouldn't waste your passion writing rants to racists like me, you should be organizing a service for the benefit of those you think need it most. You have enough care and enough smarts to make a difference. You may have to work on controlling your temper.

The more you type the more sad and despicable you sound. Have fun wallowing in your self-pity and blaming people on the other side of the world for your problems. I am done with you now.

You sound pretty despicable and awful yourself. ^___^

I saw your work at Otakon, but I just now remembered that I had one of your business cards. I love your black and white work, it's really good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
If my recent message seemed harsh, I'm sorry. Not meant to be hating on you, just hating on most anything else. =___=;
I don't feel like there's anything I can do to improve any situation. ;__; I don't know what to do.

GUESS WHAT! xandrei told me where we are on the map! O_O;;; It's a super good place, I think! Or at least better than where I was last year. XD
We're at BB12 [xan/xan's roomie are at BB13] [link]
aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! this is going to be so awesome! O____O

may i suggest chibi drawings of tiny, cute animals? <3 Perhaps candy themed bunnies that can make cute stickers? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't you know that cute things cause me to burst into flame?!? That's why I own a dachshund - their stubbornness takes points away from the cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dude, draw weiner stickers then! Rabid weiners. That would be hilariously popular. We can sell them together with my adorable rainbow corgis. To off set my lisa frankness.

I bought a ticket today ~ unfortunately I could only get Baltimore. T___T I'll be arriving around 5. 8D I'm hoping that there's some sort of thursday night preparatory set up time so we could assemble the display and what not prior to friday. Also, get badges and avoid the friday line. X___X
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I agree we should at least get our badges Thursday night. We'll have to hang around for a bit anyway to skip the rush hour traffic. Of course, that's IF your plane arrives on time. Did =xandrei tell Otakon we would be taking over the table? I had an issue with them last year when the guy I was sharing the table with showed up before me and they wouldn't allow him to use my table, then SOLD MY TABLE. MY TABLE!!!
I went and voted for your shirt design, though I'd be more prone to wearing a weiner dog, since I have one meself. Hope you aren't afraid of dogs!! Cause apparently dachshunds are terrifying judging from one person that visited me... Also hope you aren't afraid of clowns, cause the guest room is stuffed with them (my mother's obsession, not mine).

also, thanks for telling me about the otakon thing. I'd already filled out the form. Just heard back ~ wait list. T___T boo. You?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm also on the wait list -_- Growl. Did you ever get the necklace to ship?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
update ~ will try to ship necklace again this monday. sorry it's taken forever.
also, I managed to find an entire otakon table. 8D Would you still like to come? I think I'll not do the screenprint thing. It's too time consuming. You're welcome to share anyway though. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WOAH how did you get a table??? Are you magic or something? I would love to share if you really don't mind - I know how tiny the Otakon tables are. Did you try out the screenprinting at A-Kon?
Oh and congrats on the internship thingy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have a lot of friends who go to Otakon every year. X3 =xandrei ended up not needing her table. ^^ It would be completely fine to split with me.
Just in case, but feel free to say no ~ you live in the area. If I flew in Thursday, could i stay with you that night? Friday/saterday I'll go to a hotel thats walking distance from otakon [you're welcome to join us].
I barely got to try out screenprinting. XD Overall - AWESOME. But too complex for me to do a good job of it at a convention. [it requires ironing.] So I'm just going to do all the printing i need before hand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Woot! I will join you at the table then. I never sell much at Otakon, but hell why not.
Sure you can stay with me on Thursday. I live with my parents, but they won't mind. And my mom might cook dinner for you 
What are you putting on the shirts anyway? And you know what I just realized would be awesome on a shirt?? The second panel on [link] I don't know why, but the thought of wearing that made me giggle just now. But I guess motion lines would have to be added or it would look like it was flying over the toilet XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I come equiped with giant pvc display pipe for us to hang big prints on. 8D
Oh yay! I'll plan on staying with you then! I'll see about flying into Dulles, but it seems unlikely... I have no idea though, i've not looked yet.
There are so many things I want to make into shirts! O_O Trouble is, often the colors are very restricted... like no more than 5 colors. Or for me to do it myself, no more than 2. XD right now i have this up for voting [link] [go vote? >___>] but I'm going to screen print something myself, too. :3 A weiner dog. XD <3 <3 <3

O_o your necklace just came back to me in the mail.... which is odd. i sent it out with similar sized and weighted envelopes of buttons. this is the only one to come back. =___=;
will send it out again monday i guess. damn it savannah.

(I'm leaving a comment here because the comments on your 'Inanna' have been disabled.)
Such a lovely picture! I like the textures and how you worked in her flower/star motif.
I've never seen Inanna drawn with horns before. (I think they're neat, though.) Did you come up with that idea?
You mention that you're working on a story about Mesopotamian goddesses. Where would one go to read this story? And would it have more of your lovely pictures?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, I disabled comments on that cause I was going through a life crisis at the time 
I'm not sure now why I gave her horns...thinking back on it, it doesn't make any sense. Though maybe I was trying to give her a more masculine air.
The story isn't about Mesopotamian goddesses, I just work in different gods and goddesses from mythology as some of the characters (Dumuzi is in it too
