I'd like to take a moment and thank a very special person. She's been with me for four wonderful years now, and I feel that she doesn't get near as much recognition as she deserves.

She is my character, Rhia. I get the feeling she would get more recognition if I were to actually get on with her story, but that's another day. Right now I want to thank her for being her.

Any writer who's written original fiction will know what I mean when I say I want to thank her for her time with me, and her patience. She has the patience of a deity.

Also when I say that I love her very much and am endlessly happy that she is here with me, even after 4 years of half-started ideas. It means a lot to me that she's stuck by my side so long, after everything I've done to her in the name of 'plot'.

I drew some art for her that I'll scan and post later tonight!

So here's to Four years of love, laughter, family, growth, and life. And here's to at least another fourty, if she's willing to wait!

Happy Birthday, Rhia!

I really want to say thank you to Blurymind and Telemaniaka on Garbagewars. I did an the oekaki yesterday. They complimented it and said it was cute, and that I'm good at working with color. This really means a lot to me.

Today has been the bad day to end all bad days (No, really. You think you've ever had a bad day? My worst fear is going to school tomorrow and having to face my classmates, or worse, someone bringing today up) and what the two of them said on the the page made me feel better, if only a little.

Reading the rest of their comments on the page serve to lighten my heart a little more, too. They're really great people, very kind and very funny.

I doubt they read this, but thanks guys. It really, really means a lot to me.
