Nina

LMAO!!! hahahaa! oh yes, the knowledgable one, almost a Poke Prof. yourself huh? ^_^

LOL... you actually have me chuckling here! Your name's Nina huh? That's a scary coinsidence! lol

LMAO! Ah, I try to be a "carebeast" anyways... lol ^_^

You have to watch out for those stalkers! LOL... in highschool, i used to have this one girl named Nina who would follow me everywhere... she was always asking me about Pokemon Ruby tricks or about movesets... i was like a fricking poke encyclopedia to her... and then she was always mooching off of me... like the one time she saw i had a bag of laffy taffy's, she knocked over three desks in the wood carpentier's shop to get to me... she practically fell over! LOL! ah, the weird random memories... i wonder what ever happened to her? i think she moved... oh well ^_^

sorry, random sharing moment... lol

No, what's nikarooroo?lol

Thanks

hehe thats VB4 for ya. Dont worry, we are still in the process of making new styles for VB4, and sure it wont hurt your eyes that much in future. XD

I see. Would you mind returning to PM and taking over the mod position of Art Gallery again? Dont worry, its nothing related to Pkmn HOF. Its all about Art.

I just checked them out, and they are excellent. Seeing some of those old pixelart from you brought back memories, but I do like the new ones better. XD

I added you on MSN anyway.

Carebeast, yeah. I did some stalking on you guys' vms. Oh well, he seems to be such a caring guy. :3

So do you like roast beef? :paranoid:

I know, I'm hopeless at vms. I do better at instant messaging. But GPR here is a carebeast, lucky you.

That's what I don't understand! You're such a sweet, nice person. You're a bit timid, yes, but you seem to be the kinda person that no one can really say that have any thing against you. That's how my best friend is. If there's anything wrong with him, it's that he's too nice! NO ONE from my graduating class can say anything bad or mean about him. He's just an all around awesome guy! That's how you come off as ^_^

As for here, no need to worry about talking with mods or anyone. First off, it's an online community. You can be anyone you want to be here. Be assertive, be shy, be the queen... no one knows who you are... it's no detriment to you lol!

But no, here at PC, you've built your reputation to be one of the nicest, most esteemed spriters around! You needn't worry about talking to other members (like fox)... i'm sure they're honored (and enjoy) having conversations with you!

Never doubt in your ability to make a friend.

Like I said, kill them all with kindness. If you are only nice to people, then they will have no reason to resent or dislike you. What? Are they gonna say, "Damn that Lornami!!! She's soo darn nice, i... i... i need to find a way to make her be mean to me!!!"

I think not! LOL!!! ^_^

Just be yourself. But the strong self!

I see, thanks for the clarification. I was just curious.

I see, it must be fabulous. Would you mind linking me to the site so I can take a look at it?

Hehe I see. Perhaps I can help you with that. I dunno if you are talking about PC's art gallery forum, if so then there's nothing I can do for you. XD

Err, what the heck. how can you be both tier 3 and 5? oO

I see, your personal website. Did you make it during this winter break?

And besides, are you still interested in being a mod at Art Gallery forum?

Gratification: Exactly. You look for it, while at the same time, you shy away. No one wants to look like a spotlight hog...

as for new people, sometimes you have to be the one to step up and say hi! You never know who or what you're missing unless you acknowledge someone... and hey, you never know, a simple "hi" may make their day!

Hehe that sounds interesting. Mind showing me your recent artwork? ^^

I see, you are as excellent as ever. Are you still doing pixel art now? XD

You are welcome, I am glad your college application process has been quite successful.

lol I really like that avatar? Did you make it yourself?

Thats really good to know. XD I was rejected by my top 5 choices when applying for college back then. And congrats on the scholarship!

And nice avatar you got! ^^

Nah! Don't feel bad! lol. We've done what we could here. I mean, we can continue to post and get 0 crit back... and i guess i'm okay with that, since it is a pleasure and inspiration to aspriring new spriters, but that's really all i get for posting here. No real gratification... but i don't necesarrily look for that anyways.

The thing about being casual is that you need to approach EVERYONE you meet as your friend. Overkill them with niceness. If they turn out to be jerks, well, then you just don't associate yourself with them. But if you become known to be a kind, foward coming person, you'll be fine. Never limit yourself to who you meet. That's been my trick. ;)

Hi there Lornami, how's life been to you?

As for a job, it's inevitable. You may have to get one, or two, or five before your career, but it's necessary. I've found that getting a job teaches you life skills. From learning how to deal with people, to learning time management and fiscal responsibility, a job is a necessary step in your life.

As for friends, they come and go. That is a sad fact of life. I've had many good friends in my life, and unfortunately, many of them are gone. But i've found that you can only control your fate. Ultimately, we find a friend, and they stick around forever ^_^ I'm sure you may have one of those good friends lol. No matter where we go, there'll always be some one new. That's why i've enjoyed my time here. I've had the pleasure to chat with some awesome people, with exceptional talent and personality.

There will always be people coming and going. As for those new ones, I think you hit the nail on the head. We can only do our best to accomodate them and teach them what we know, or at least as much as they want to hear.

Like I said, i'm expiring here. I feel like i'm making the best sprites and pixel art i've ever done, yet it seems that it's going unnoticed. I can't get the crit that i give out. That may be experience, may be maturity, but regardless, i'm at a point where my life is so hectic, i don't have the time to give to the community that it needs. And that's the simple fact.
