I think I'm just being paranoid about doing fun things from work. It took my mother being in the hospital near the end of last January (I probably should post something about that since it's an interesting story) to get me to check my gmail account from work, even though my coworkers did that sort of thing regularly. I actually set up a system to read peoples' replies by turning on email notification and setting my gmail account to forward messages to my cellphone. It doesn't let me reply very quickly though, and that makes me feel like I'm boring people because my usually rapid pace is reduced to a crawl.
Yes, I remember you saying that and I picked it up from the various things you've posted. Talking to you helps a lot, especially since it normally takes me a while to get used to people (I've been looking at/reading your stuff practically since you first put it online, and it took until this year to finally be able to actually talk to you here), and I know how important it is to be tenacious. One of my oldest and closest friends was very tenacious in becoming my friend. Ironically, he hasn't been around much recently due to his schoolwork and his new nephews. (I miss the way he drops in unannounced at the worst possible times.)
It's not so much smaller doses as it is keeping certain combinations of people to a minimum. Both of my grandmothers can be really fun when separate (even if one doesn't seem like it on the surface). I like having my relatives around because they keep my wits sharp and I usually end up with interesting stories to tell (some of them feel like they were pulled directly from Gneech's fictionlets).
It's 99% premade, so I really can't take credit for it since I just pointed my livejournal at that look and messed with some of the widths a bit. Making that customization for you really is worth my time no matter how little you may need it; however, it isn't worth your money since only paid accounts and communities can use the changes I would make.
I was nervous too. It took me a while to get the courage to find a place to go, get a membership, and then work up the nerve to say that I didn't really know what I was doing. Please keep me updated on your progress.
Thanks. Being helpful and supportive seems to come naturally to me. (Who knew?)
Seeing hawt art is fun, isn't it.^.^ Art is becoming an ingrained part of me. If I let things sit for a little while, I can tell that I'm making progress. Slowly, but surely, I will move on to drawing things like backgrounds, other characters (Just drawing "me" all the time makes me feel egotistical), and hopefully speed up a bit so I can finish something in less than a week.
You aren't a hack. You're humble enough to admit that you aren't perfect and try to improve. In my mind, that makes you a pro.
I'm glad to hear that you like chatting with me as much as I like chatting with you. I always look forward to hearing from you.
