Thanks! He was upright originally, but I thought he was more interesting upside down. You can probably tell because the light source goes from his head to toe--my light source is almost always upper left. I was too lazy to re-do the shadows upside down!

Ah, yes! Good plan. Valentine's Day shouldn't bother us anyway--it's just a Hallmark holiday. We shouldn't need corporations to tell people when to love each other! Like how we should be generous and kind to each other ALL the time, not just on Christmas! But anyway, I do go on...

lol. The only real reason I always stayed home was because I live out in the country. A 15 minutes drive to anybody haha. Plus, it helped that I had a close sister to hang out with all of the time. Even so, we didn't do much in the activity aspect Not until my Senior Year; that was when I started doing more things with people. Like over the summer I hosted 2 water balloon fights at my house. They weren't heavily populated, but it was so much fun.

That's awesome! It does sound like fun. Over the years I overcame my shyness and started being more open with people, too. Glad you're realizing it before I did!
Ha, ha! Yeah, I lived in a country town for the last 12 years, about a 1/2 hour from a decent store and an hour from a mall! Lame. I'm also really close to my sister and my brother. Before the country town, my family moved a lot, so they were the only friends that I was able to keep! I was homeschooled, too, so they were my classmates. ^_^

Yes, I'm always concious about things like that. Being the way I am, I always try to be very friendly and happy, and so I have a lot of friends, and until just recently, it didn't really occur to me that I did and that people did like me so much.
Oh wow. I bet it's really beautiful though right? What state do you live in? I live by two cow farms but i'm still not that far out into the country. lol.
That's really nice to be able to be so close to your siblings like that. Otherwise it would've gotten boring real quick I bet. I didn't get really close to my older sister until I grew up more. She's five years older so my twin and I were annoying to her until a few years ago lol.

I know exactly how you feel! I try to be very happy and nice to others, too. I spent my whole life trying to convince myself that I didn't need anybody, but I was totally wrong! I love people! I just hated myself. Now that I don't anymore, I can truly appreciate my friends and others. ^_^
Yeah, we had a lot of property! And a horse breeder about a block away, so it was cool. I used to go for walks at 3:00 am and talk to the horses! They weren't impressed.
Yeah, my brother and sister are awesome. I'm the middle child, so I'm equally close to each. My sister is about five years younger than I am, and about eight years younger than my older brother! Still, we all get along. We actually plan on all living together if we can ever find decent jobs somewhere!
You have a twin? That's so cool! You must be really close. People used to mistake me and my brother for twins!

I never tried to convince myself that I didn't need anybody. I've always been trying to get people to notice me and need me. I still hate myself somewhat, but am getting better at it. And I'm glad you are too!
We had a horse farm down the road too. I wish I could do that. That'd be so cool. To talk to the horses like that. Weren't they sleeping? lol. They should've been impressed! You came to see them at 3am! Did you ever ride any of the horses?
Haha. Oh gosh I couldn't see living with my siblings any longer than I have to. My twin and I are close, but we fight a lot. We get over our fights really quickly though. I don't think I could really live with just her though. She already gets on my nerves a lot when we go home from school, and I annoy her a lot too. It wouldn't work out haha. Plus, she's got anger issues, and I'm the happy one lol.

MurderousAutomaton In reply to Desopilar [2010-03-04 19:50:00 +0000 UTC]
I guess I'd felt that way, too--I think being homeschooled made me starved for attention, and the fear of not being able to be open with people was one of the sources of my self-hatred. But I've always felt that hatred is learned, not inate, so anything you've learned that you don't like can be forgotten! But I'm glad you're getting better about hating yourself.
Naw, I never rode the horses. They would sometimes have big ol' Clydesdales in for breeding, and they were HUGE! They'd stare me down as I walked by. They're very aggressive and territorial! Silly horsies. I never saw them sleep! Though I think they sleep while standing up, so I'm not sure. Sometimes I'd run along the fence, and the younger ones would chase me!
Oh, yeah, I can see that being kind of hard, her being angry and you being happy! My older brother annoys me all the time, and I annoy my sister--I think it's natural! We wouldn't want it any other way.

Desopilar In reply to MurderousAutomaton [2010-03-08 04:29:38 +0000 UTC]
I think that that is true. It's kind of the same as when people assume that all Pit Bulls are horribly mean and such when they aren't. Animals are not born to hate and be mean. It's what they learn and who their teachers are. You seem to have had very good teachers along the way seeing as how you can open up to such a random person like me. And to be so nice and such too, but is it the same as in real life? So many people say things on the internet that they would never say in real life, and that's kind of annoying, but can be understandable in certain situations.
I'm glad that you're opening up and getting better about hating yourself as well. Clydesdales are awesome! I think that they have one at the Renaissance Festival near me that you can ride. I'm not sure though because although it was quite huge, I'd probably need another horse as comparison. Lol. Horses can't lay down for long periods of time because there body weight will crush their organs. I have always found that odd since they seem to be the only ones with that issue. Cows can lay down, and same with Elephants I think.
Aww that's so cute! You should've enlightened the Clydes that you were able to be outside and they couldn't.
Yeah, I understand that. I still feel as though my older sister sees me as being really young, but then again I think she sees me as a much older and wiser person. But the former may be because of my wonderful lack of self confidence and such Haha. I do with my twin were a little less aggravated all of the time though. It just puts me in a bad mood to be around her bitching.

Exactly! Those poor dogs. It would take a human to turn a dog into a monster, wouldn't it? But I don't think people are born evil, either--we learn it the same as the dogs. For the most part we're all just products of our upbringings, whether we use them to inspire us or trap us.
Thanks! Yeah, I never used to be open like this, but after I stopped hating myself I started to--on the internet and in person! I am often shy in real life, depending on the situation, but I have a genuine love for people and for the most part I like talking to strangers and being friendly. Sometimes all it takes to brighten somebody's day is being willing to listen to them!
Yeah, horses are so cool! Don't elephants sleep standing up, too? Maybe not... they used to board longhorn bulls on the horse property, too, and some donkeys.
I know what you mean! My dad complains all the time and it can be draining to be around to hear it. I guess we have to be patient with them! Remind your sister of all the things she has to be grateful for--maybe that'll cheer her up! You have low self-confidence? Why? You don't need to feel that way! I understand, though--I've struggled with that for years. Maybe we identify ourselves with the wrong things.

yeah, I don't believe that humans are born evil either. That's why I feel so bad for so many babies. I'm sorry, but some people just aren't fit to be parents. You just know that the world will be so different for them. And then, there're kids that grow a sense of something good from somewhere and realise the good stuff brewing in them and such.
I love talking to random people. I've been asked by my friends and my sister if I knew the person who I was just talking to. Generally it's a "Haha nope." Overall I'm pretty shy and like to stick with my own little group. It's pretty much mostly when I'm alone that I'll talk to other people. Or if my group is encouraging enough we'll have fun with random people. Yeah, I agree. People like to have somebody listen to them. Nobody listens to me much though.
Lol.
I just looked it up! Elephants can lie down, but lying on their sides for a long time can damage their internl organs the same as horses. That makes sense seeing as how they are so big. They had bulls but no heifer's?
I don't think she'd get it much by reminding her of the things she should be grateful for. I mean, she doesn't complain about the things she doesn't have or anything. She pretty much just complains about me XD I guess I could give her the bright side of that. One day I think I will punch her. I've been wanting to for 18 years now. The only problem is that it won't be like in the movies when the people have a revelation that they were wrong and such lol. She'd just hit me back. lol.
I've really always had low self-confidence. I've never really thought that I was pretty, and I'm not as skinny as I'd like. Plus, never having a boyfriend/a guy who actually likes me puts a damper on the spirits a bit

Exactly. People aren't always doomed to be products of their environments, but generally that's what happens. My biggest hope as an artist/storyteller is to help people realize the beauty and potential we all have inside--that we're all good by nature and hate is not something we have to put up with.
That's cool! It's fun to talk to new people, at least now that I'm not too afraid to (most of the time)! Most people are really pretty friendly and cool if given the chance to be. Nobody listens to you?
MAKE them listen!
Ah! That makes sense. I've never seen an elephant sleep, so I couldn't be sure! No, I think they just had the bulls--only two of them. Usually it was all horses, and only sometimes they had bulls and donkeys.
Eh, punch her anyway! If it doesn't make her feel better, it'll sure make YOU feel better! Besides, what are siblings for?
Oh, come now! You look just fine. But I know how you feel, though--I've struggled with that my whole life, too, but I realized that it's mostly mental. If we think of ourselves as ugly, then we project that to other people, and they pick up on it. It's not that we're unattractive, it's that our insecurity is off-putting to others. If you feel ugly (which you're not), then it's probably just ugly thoughts. Beauty is a reflection of that goodness inside--look for that in yourself, and you're bound to start recognizing it everywhere you look. When we rise above the need to feel attractive, we realize how beautiful we are. I admit I'm still learning that myself, but I've come a long way! ^_^

That's a good goal. Mine's similar, only it deals with animals. I hope to work as a Vet. Tech. for the SPCA to help the ones that were shit upon by humanity
Haha! When people don't listen to me, generally I say what I said again. And if they don't hear me that time I say it load and aggitated like. Then they get annoyed at how rude i was lol. Last time I did that I was trying to say that I wanted to go to bed and if they wanted the extra mattresses from my room they had to get them now because I wasn't going to keep my door open all night. They looked at me as if I was being a bitch all night and when I walked out to start moving stuff in, they locked me out. I went and knocked twice and I heard them come to the door, look through the peephole, and then walk away.
Haha. I've physically fought with her before, so I know I can take her. We learned long ago that I could beat her in a fight. :] Of course, we didn't get really violent or anything, but when wrestling I ALWAYS pinned her and such.

There are people trying for that here as well. I want to work with the SPCA as a Vet. Tech. I used to think that I wanted to work with exotic zoo-type animals. They still interest me, but all of those commercials for the ASPCA have just gotten to me I guess.
Of course! It doesn't help that I'm self concious anyway, but to be like that is just mean. Haha.
With my sister and I, she's the shy/loud(yelling-wise)/angry/smarter one, and I'm the more outward/loud(talking-wise)/upbeat one. I want to say that we're equal in art talent, but I think I do wellish. She just seems to be able to pull off the more creative things while I can think of them more often. If that makes any sense. When we're both in good moods, we're really alike though.

That's cool! Animals are so much fun. I've never lived in a house without at least one cat in it. ^.^ I had thought about working with tigers or big cats, but there's always the chance they'd rip my head off! My true calling is art, anyway. Maybe I can use that to help animals!
Well, I tend to be over-sensitive about stuff like that, but they do sound rude!
That's cool--even if you don't necessarily get along all the time, it's still nice to have somebody around, right? Two of my friends from high school are twins, and they both draw. One is better at freehand, the other at drawing while looking at something.

Yeah. There was a psychic that came to our school once and did free readings on Halloween. My friend wants to work with big cats and the lady told her to be careful, pretty much that she was going to get attacked by one lol. I'd like to see that one worked out, using your art to help animals lol.
Blatant rudeness is just one of the many things that urk me There's a long list, but the things on it are quite simple haha!
Haha I guess. It makes it more difficult to be alone though. Since I'm so used to my sister being around, and for the longest time in the same room, it's hard adjusting by myself. I mean, I'm afraid of being alone. I'm also afraid of the dark so mixing them is not cool It also took me a long time to get used to sleeping in my own room.

Ha, ha! Yeah, it's too bad that it happens, but tigers are wild animals--and they're WAY stronger than we are! They could kill us by accident, even. Just look at Sigfried and Roy--they raised that tiger from a cub (I think), and it still messed Roy up. Yeah, I'm not totally sure how to use my art to help animals, but I know I want to use it to make the world a better place, one way or another.
Ha, ha! Well, I've always thought that there's no excuse for rudeness. Most of the time it's anger at themselves that they re-direct toward others. Sad that people do that, but they do.
Yeah, I shared a bedroom with my brother up until we were teenagers. I've always been kind of solitary, though--probably from the homeschooling. Only now have I decided that I'd RATHER be around people than be by myself! At least most of the time. Being alone can be scary, but just remember that there's nothing to fear but fear, itself.
There you go! Don't be afraid to say things, either--I've quieted myself a lot because I thought nobody wanted to talk to me. We can talk ourselves out of a lot of things if we're not careful.

In Parisitology Lab today I was happy because when my partner and I were looking at our sheep feces, we found Haemonchus Contortus ova! It's our first time all semester finding something.
Yeah, or, sad to say, their parents just didn't teach them any better.
And Spiders! D: I hate those little buggers! It's hard for me to cope in the dark though. I mean, I know that there's nothing there, but my brain and nerves don't seem to like the fact of nothing being there so they panic haha.

That's gotta be the first time I've heard anybody say they were happy while looking through sheep feces! That sounds like an interesting class! What kind of parasite is that?
My sister's away all week in Connecticut for an ASPCA class! She needs this class and one more to be certified to be an animal cop. Awesome!
Ha, ha! I know! I think spiders are so cool, but they freak me out. I'll just enjoy their coolness from a distance. The dark's no sweat for me--I used to go on long walks out on our country roads at 3:00 in the morning! I miss all that nature.
But I know what you mean--the imagination can be a hard thing to cope with sometimes!
Of course you're wanted! We all have a way to go to be where we should be, mentally, but the most important thing is that we keep working at it!

I love that lab. I have fun talking and working. And the teacher is awesome!
The Barber Pole Worm is a gastrointestinal nematode. They ingest blood from the sheep abomasum, or "true stomach". (You see what I just did there? I studied! ) They cause a lot of problems for goats including anemia, diarrhea, growth inssues, and death i believe.
Oh neat! There are a bunch of people here who want to be animal cops. I don't think I could be an animal cop though because I'd be too tempted to punch people lol. I just want to be with the animals to show them the love that they deserve so much. Be their little guardian angel. And even if they die, they'll see love before they go.
I don't think spiders are cool AT ALL! Anything that pumps blood into their legs to move them isn't cool! Weirdo. 3am is when the cyote's start howling, and that's just plain creepy. My imagination is too much sometimes. I just wish that I didn't think so much somethimes.

Wow, certainly sounds like you're learning a lot! Probably more than most people would want to learn!
I'm the same way! It must be so hard to control a temper when you're seeing all that injustice to animals! But my sister's staunch in her mission--she's got great self-control, as long as it's to help animals.
That's a very sweet goal. Loving animals is so simple, but most people just don't want to give the effort. Or they just don't understand. A lot of people pass over the beauty that's right in front of them, unfortunately.
Ha, ha! Yeah, spiders are creepy, all right! I'm a sucker for predators, though. I can see how cyotes would be unsettling--but they're just cute animals themselves!
Yeah, that can be tough! That's how families work! The best way to avoid drama is to not touch it--if you refuse to participate, they may follow suit. After all, nobody truly likes drama, they just don't get enough attention in their lives!

Meh, I'm learning more than I even want to learn lol. And I managed to fail Anatomy and Physiology II TT^TT
I found this deviation once:[link] It made me cry so hard.
Oh, I avoid it all right. I avoid it so well that nobody remembers me as one of the bad guys OR the good guys XD That's how neutral i've become

Ah, well. Back on the horse and all that. It just gives you a chance to really analyze your motives to decide what you really want to do. If you feel it's worth re-taking, then it must be the right way for you to go.
Aw, that is sad. It's hard to love animals so much when so many other people don't seem to understand it, but I guess we can lead by example.
My sister actually got a call from an animal shelter/cop position in Nevada! She might have to fly out for a test/interview, so we'll see what happens...
You wouldn't want to be rememberd as someone who stood for truth, justice and the American way? I've been neutral for a long time, too, but I felt like I had no right to complain about anything if I wasn't going to try to change it.
That's me, though, I'm not trying to boss you around. But I guess some families require a more "hands-on" approach. I'm realizing that with my Dad. I need to find a way to reach him, because he's pretty unhappy and doesn't seem interested in fixing it.

Well, It's not that I feel it's worth re-taking, it's that I HAVE to re-take it XD For my overall GPA's sake, and cause I have to pass it to get my degree. 8D
Yeah, I cried so much while reading that. We had a stray around our house that had a huge abcess on her ear. I'd pet her, but I'd kind of want to avoid doing so because her ear was so nasty and she'd always want to rub it on ya. lol. We found out it was a tumor (the SPCA paid for an exam) and we had her put down. The good thing is that we buried her along with our other animals as an honerary member. It was so sad though. She used to be our Aunt's favorite, they live 2 doors down, until she got a new favorite and shunned her. Missy was a pretty little thing. :')
Oh awesome! I hope she gets it!
The American way? Not so much lol. But the truth and justice, yes sir.
One of my favorite quotes is from Elie Wiesel, the guy who wrote 'Night'; the story of how he survived being a Jewish prisoner during WWII.
"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
But with a lot of situations, it's hard to see the oppressor and the victim.
I understand that. My Mom is unhappy, but I think it's mostly from my sister and I not having jobs. :/

Oh, yeah, then I guess there's no choice. There's no reason it couldn't be more fun this time around, though!
Aww, that's too bad. We used to live on a farm house, and we got all sorts of strays. I loved it! At one point we had like 13 cats. Ascot was a really sweet cat, but all the other cats hated him, and I don't know why. He was old and blind in one eye, and he had to stay outside because he peed in the house. I had to nurse him back to health one winter because he got so sick. I put a litterbox in my room and he slept in my bed--he was such a sweetheart! I think he died of old age about three years later, but I'll never know for sure--he just left one day and never came back.
Yeah, my sister actually ended up taking a position in Chicago, but once she got there, they ended up not having it anymore! What a ripoff. I guess they're mostly run during the summer for and by college students, so the whole thing wasn't organized very well. She's staying out there right now, with my brother, trying to find another job.
Ooh, that's a good quote! And very true, too. But you're right--a lot of times it's hard to know what's right or wrong. The more I live, the more it seems that motives or actions with oneself in mind are usually not worth it. It's the things people do with others in mind that are worthwhile and good.
