How popular was it. Um... ^^" Well, it was still in the Scrapbox. But it did have six pages. I'm not sure how old it was at the time, so you'd have to do a little work to know.
Your maps look very nice to me. In the end, of course some people won't like them. Because people have different tastes, you can't please everybody. In the end, as long as you like how the map looks, you've done a good job, and if a decent amount of other people like it too, all the better.
I don't know. I never really seemed to attract much romantic interest in school, either. Maybe it's some kind of vibe I give off. But people usually aren't serious anyway. About relationships, and about a lot of things - at least in school, I know it was that way. I can't help but look down on them in this one way - it's the lack of loyalty and seriousness in their relationships with others. It's a flaw of mine, to look down on them because of it, but I can't help it. In general, they're still people. But any time I have to deal with disloyalty, I get disgusted with the people who do it. It's not so much that I'm better, as that they don't even seem to try, and that ticks me off.
What? Sorry I'm always depressed? It's a balance. While there are good things in my life to be happy about, there are also bad things to be sad about. There will always be both things, until we finally leave this world. I can be moderately pessimistic, I admit. I've had too many things not work out the way I planned, to not expect it to happen again. Anything else would be really naive. And I figure, if you usually expect the worst, than usually your surprises will be good ones.
Yeah, I'm usually depressed deep down. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I care about all the bad things that I hear about. Maybe it's left over from when my parents were building the house, although that's been years ago now... and maybe it has to do with being away from the one I love.
The bright side - well, I have someone here for me, even if he's not strictly here right now. I have SotW, and I have a completely free schedule, because I don't have a job.
I told you already. I have things to be happy about, but they tend to be short-term. Long term, I don't know; but I can't do anything about it, so I might as well not worry about it. You can't know the future; it's never assured. Why should work my tail off for a reward as fickle as the flip of a coin? Better to do something I find fun, and if it has a future reward, that's just a nice bonus.
Basically, no matter how worrying the future is, it's out of my hands. I suppose I'm too busy worrying about other things I have no control over, like the lack of deep love and loyalty in the world today, or more immediate concerns in my own family.
