Excited! Sapphire was the last of the original story lines I played before I jumped into Y just recently. I'm interested to see what they roll out for new Mega Evolutions, I figure Sceptile and Swampert will be getting them, but there's probably more.

I'm also awaiting the return of diving.

Bringing in a hacker to play for you guys and lying knowing that you have no evidence of your advertised skill sets? C'mon man, people aren't that easy to fool.

Also I wasn't expecting that paste bin to be that long and ended up reading the whole thing. Should've listened to the warnings.

My hair has grown out [on one side of my head that is...] since the last photo.

I'm going to ask my work to give me the maximum amount hours as I am allowed to work during the summer so I can justify flying out from Cali. I really want to go.

That's a good point... I spend entirely too much time shut into the studio life with the computer screen burnt into my eyes. I ended up going out and bought a bagel and went to the top of the parking garage to watch airplanes landing. Must've been a weird sight, tired looking girl just waiting for planes, but the sun felt good.

I guess this post was that first step of opening up.

How do you guys do it.

Lately I've found myself unhappy with everything I've tried to accomplish and my creativity has just been down the drain [which is terrible as an illustration major]. Not a lot makes me happy or excited anymore, not even drawing or TF2. I'm having trouble sleeping and eating well, I hardly hang out with people IRL anymore because I don't want them to worry about how tired I look and I barely say anything to any of my classmates anymore. My grades have been slowly slipping because I'm too anxious to present what I feel is crap. I'm supposed to graduate next year. I'm scared of people coming up to me asking if I'm okay or where I was. I'm scared of how small my chances are of getting a job. I've been crying myself to sleep for a few weeks and I don't know why. There's nothing wrong with my personal life, I have a great home and boyfriend and honestly a lot of friends but I can't muster up the courage to ask for help. Asking for someone to listen has always been hard, there's always people which worse problems than I have and i don't want to sound like I'm complaining over something so trivial and waste their time. But I need to break out of this funk somehow, if there's anyway I can do it without inconveniencing someone else. I don't think I have depression or anxiety, but I don't know what's wrong.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this and I just sound bad but I figured maybe someone could help or has been in the same situation.

Same here, I have a few games in my library [some single player and some multi] and I find myself back at TF2 very shortly. I have trouble finishing games at all.

I think it's because whenever I'm playing TF2 I'm often with friends. We share good times with each other and TF2 allows me to kick back and forget about problems for a little bit. Singleplayer sometimes gets a bit lonely.

Going to attempt to raise $400 to go to this. Wish me luck.

San Jose State University for Animation-Illustration. Next year's gonna be my 6th [and last] year, looking forward to finally getting my BFA.

You don't like my art?

:(

Nice to see Snakewater back for HL, looking forward to playing on it!

For those flying, how much do you think you'll be paying for hotel/flight costs? I'd be coming from California so that's quite a bit of money that I may not have.

Oh hey... a bunch of my stuff is on facepunch... Thanks for the proper crediting, it's much appreciated. :)

I'm actually surprised you didn't use this one:

Guys... who the hell took my artwork for the front of TF.TV?! And how did you even find it.

EDIT: I'll give you more stupid drawings [I have a couple] if you'd like to use them for other stuff.
