Miscellaneous

While venting is good, counting your blessings can have a positive effect on your emotions as well. I'll start:

I'm grateful that I found such an awesome game and community.

I'm grateful that I have been able to find time to do artwork.

I'm grateful that I have a roof over my head, food, and a place to sleep.

I'm grateful that I have pets to keep me company when at home alone.

I'm grateful that I am able to attend graduate school full-time without working.

I'm grateful that I have come so far in my studies.

I'm grateful for my sister, who is allowing me to stay at her house until she gets married.

I'm grateful for the friends I've met here.

I'm grateful that I can procure food relatively easily.

I'm grateful that my parents are still together after all these years.

I'm grateful for divine mercy. Lord knows I'm not an angel.

Today's Topic: Beauty

What is beauty? What defines something as beautiful. Let us first take a look at the exact definition of beautiful.

Beautiful – adjective
1. Having beauty; having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind: a beautiful dress; a beautiful speech.
2. Excellent of its kind: a beautiful putt on the seventh hole; The chef served us a beautiful roast of beef.
3. Wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying.

What are these beautiful qualities? And why does everyone associate beauty with those who have perfect hair, skin, makeup, and body shape? Does the color of your skin really make you more beautiful than someone else? Or does painting your nails make you gorgeous? How about acne free skin?
None of these things make you beautiful. Society holds these things as beauty. But their wrong.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A very cliche and corny saying, yes, but also very true.
When was the last time you woke up, looked in the mirror and said, "I look so beautiful today with my makeup-less face and uncombed hair! I'm ready to start the day!"
I know I haven't. I would never say that.

Today I challenge myself and all of you to believe you are beautiful. If you believe you are beautiful then you are. I also challenge you to not judge others on their looks whether they wear no makeup or a ton of it. If they feel beautiful then hell, THEY ARE.

Don't let society define beauty.

Your all beautiful in my eyes.

Well, it says I'm not signed in when I'm playing the game. It says 1Cdf or something. I am very confused. Does anyone know what's wrong? I verified my account.

Since most of the active members are artists, I was wondering where or not some of you can help me with my tablet. I have looked around on the Internet but I didn't find anything about my specific issue. I figure y'all would be willing to help if you have any information on it.

I got a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet a couple of years ago. For the past couple of months, it just disconnects from the computer. It will work fine at first, but then it will just disconnect. I was in the middle of the doe sketch I posted last night when the tablet disconnected.

Has anyone experienced this problem before with their tablet, even though it's not the same as mine? I'm sick of giving myself hand cramps with the mouse.

Thanks in advance!

I can't seem to connect to the server now, and I'm growing tired of running around by myself in these woods.

I would like some company. I wonder if it's my internet?

I'm only post this here because some people were interested when they saw a sneak preview of the cover for this thing...so I thought I would post it here. That and I am a shameless self-plugger |D

A fairly funny series I found again that I enjoyed.

Basic premise:
YOU LAUGH YOU LOSE.

...and I like to give warnings a week in advance.

I'm leaving late Thursday night. I'm going to a convention down in Long Island with the rest of my college's Gaming Club. I'm tempted to bring my laptop, but I doubt we'll have internet down there. And who knows, I might not bring it just so I can play HeartGold the whole time 8D;;

Anyways, I'll be returning Sunday night. Not sure when though.

...if you're also having problems getting into the Forest.

Nothing has changed on my computer since last night. Yet, there's not that many people on, and the pictos refuse to spread. Everything was fine with the game last night; I even went so far as to restart the computer, and uninstall/reinstall the game. And nothing's working.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue getting in. Because, to be honest, this is quite ridiculous. And I'm very peeved.
