How's Life?

[linnaea]

Just a way to hopefully keep things moving. How about a friendly site wide conversation?

How is everyone doing, what are you up to these days?

[Wolfbane]

In a word (or sound, if you prefer to see it that way)?

FFFFFF. :[

[linnaea]

D: That's no good. Hope it starts getting better.

I'm currently back in the states getting my dog ready to take back to Japan with me =D I leave the day after tomorrow (thanksgiving day) and am currently praying that there will not be heavy fog in Seattle then like there is tonight! I don't feel like going through the hell storm of paperwork I will have to fill out if I have to take my dog through customs at any other time then the one I gave them with my advanced notice! >.<

But I'm super glad to be getting my doggy back!

And that is why I have not been one much the past two weeks. =3

[linnaea]

I'm glad you've gotten Biskits (I do not remember how you spell it) back! I've been reading your devart journal updates. It's nice to hear that this is finally going to work this time. We'll be glad to have you back. ^w^



Also, Happy Thanksgiving all - even if you don't celebrate it be thankful for all the good things in your life.

[Zwi]

You spelled it right. I'm glad it's working this time round too! I'm almost done with our journey home! I'm actually sitting in the Tokyo/Narita airport right now, waiting to board the last plane. then it's just an hour plus drive home and we are DONE! I'm so happy!

[Ayasha]

Hey everyone! Or at least those reading this thread !

Allow me to umm...smoothly transition myself into the conversation... Yay Zwi, I'm glad you're finally getting your dog! I could not imagine being that far apart from my dog. She lives with my parents and she's only about 15 minutes away from me and I still miss her. Oh, and I see her at least three times a week. I'm excited because I'm house sitting for thanksgiving so I get to see my dog!

What else has been going on? I've been doing school and dance. Oh yeah, and working. Other than that though my life is pretty uneventful!

Yeah..smoothest transition ever!

[Shakó]

Hey guyss, long time no log-in. Glad you got your dog back Zwi- I know how it feels to be away from your furry companion for a long period of time.

I've been addicted to DA, and dealing with work. I should post sometime lol.

[Kai]

Work and college have consumed all of my time and energy; I want to deeply apologize to anyone who has a thread with me, or who was planning to. My activity here has been non-existent and I know how frustrating it is to have a thread die because your RP buddy disappears. I plan to at least finish all of the threads I'm in, though I don't know when I'll get the chance. I do feel horrible about this, but my focus really needs to be on school :[ Sorry guys

[linnaea]

Shako!! Good to see you! It has been a very, very, very long time. You should sign in more often.

I know how you feel Kai, college has been kicking my butt a lot lately. I've been mostly focusing on my animation projects, so much so that I'm rather needing to work on my MANY other projects last minute because animation takes so much time to draw each frame, then shoot it, then test it and time it out, then fix anything, then reshoot and time it, then add in the inbetweens, shoot, fix, repeat. @___@ Nurf. That and I'm moving. But this is a good thread to keep everyone at least a little in touch.

[Sabla]

Ugh. That sounds like it'll take forever.... But I'm still excited to start college next year for animation myself. Woo! ^^ I've been pretty good, school's eeeeeasy because I only have 3 classes and then 4 hours in the art room. Go art room rats! Haha. Just enjoying my last year in high school. Exhausted from swim team practice every night, but I get used to it. *shrugs* After 3 years of it, you get used to swimming 2 miles or more every night.

[linnaea]

Ah swimming, best pass-time ever. I was recruited for the team back in high school, but I refused cause I'm dumb. Swim fast and strong, Sabla! That's neat that you'll be in animation as well, we're rivals from now on. You and me, we'll be competing for the same jobs after all.

[Zwi]

Thanks for the well wished every one! I'm so glad to finally have him back and in my house. I was so stressed out getting all the things ready for him and worrying the whole time I wouldn't be able to import him. But the end result was well worth it!

I'm glad to hear every one else is doing well too. College and work can be the suck, but I miss them both right now! Don't ever stop going to College, and if you have a job keep it! That's my only advice! Even if you think they suck at the moment, keep em both!

[Ayasha]

I agree, College is definitely worth it. Currently I'm seeing if I can switch my major once again, now that I'm a senior. Bah. Basically I felt pushed into a major I didn't want. That's one thing about College that bugs me. It's like you can't just be there and explore and learn. You have to pick a path and often times they don't feel right. I'd like to be an eternal student who doesn't have to pay! That would be awesome.

Anyone have any plans for the holiday season? I'll be working the weekends so I don't plan on travelling too much. But I'm looking forward to some time off from classes.

So what type of animation are you guys doing? Or I guess what is the intended job area... Games, movies...etc?

[Ayame]

Hey all! Glad to see everyone once again. I'm finally starting to get back into the swing of things, catching up on TS and school work and looking for a job and possibly moving....it's all coming together and getting worked out. Sorry I haven't been around but RL sometimes doesn't allow for it.

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday season! And no worried for those of us who aren't around, TS is still her and getting back on it's feet, and when we all have time to come back others will be waiting

Miss you guys! <3
