I actually installed my tablet drivers to do this. (And also to photoshop a finger covering up the corner of our family Christmas selfie, but shhhhh). I'm at least halfway done, so hold me to finishing! I am determined!

[Tiva]

Lucid will finish or I will hit her….

[Monorea]

Awww don't be mean.
It's her choice.

[Lucid:]

Eeep! Don't hit me! D': I will work on it some more today after I send...two more job applications! Promise!

[Monorea]

Aww, see now you scared her! Who knows if she will come back regularly now!

[Lucid:]

Hehe, I know she's (mostly) kidding. Besides, I asked for motivation! I need to be filled with determination! >:D

[Monorea]

*glomps* I would love to see your art, i am sure it is amazing <3
That works too right?

[Lucid:]

Hehe, oh the flattery! My art is marginally okay. I feel like coloring is my strongest part though, so coloring someone else's art is right up my alley. xD

My boyfriend actually has a BA in Media Art and Animation and was looking at what I did so far last night and gave me pointers. I gotta work on darkening my shadows!

I also ended up putting in FOUR more applications instead of two. I did like, 8 today! *^* I'm a big girl now!

[Monorea]

Well i hope someone bites then and hires you.

[Tiva]

Good job Lulu!

And boyfriend…. We must get on Facebook and I want to hear about this.

[Lucid:]

Ehehehehehe! It's not a terribly interesting story, but ping me wherever you want to hear it and we can talk. xD

[Monorea]

*sneaks up and tries to listen in*

[Lucid:]

Heh. It's not a secret or anything. A mutual friend of ours was like, "I'm gonna hook you two up. You're both mopey introverts who like Fire Emblem and corgis. So clearly you're perfect for each other. Please let me be the flower girl at your wedding." (This friend is a 25 year old adult man...)

After he stuck the two of us into a facebook chat group and tried to get us to talk about things we had in common, I told him privately "I just don't think this is working. And you being IN THE CHAT GROUP WITH US makes it extra awkward."

Shortly after our friend backed out of the group chat and left it to just the two of us, we stumbled upon the fact that the two of us actually prefer to write multiple paragraphs at a time about whatever subjects come up, and respond to all those multiple thoughts at once, instead of instant message type small talk conversation. From that moment on we instantly clicked and were able to really open up to each other. It's hard to explain exactly what happened... I just trusted him instantly. We understood each other on a deep level. It felt like we'd always had those feelings, but just didn't know each other yet. Ugh, I don't want to sound too mushy gushy or anything. >.<

[Monorea]

OOOOOOoooooooo your outfit looks like a pretty painting.
And yeah fire emblem is fun, but i hate when i miss recruiting a unit.
It sounds amazing even if i don't understand it.

[Illusion]

I DO SAY!

You we're able to connect with each other on a paralogical level. It must be love. Or some new tactic to fetch your prey.

[Monorea]

A big kitty! *Wiggles a string in front of it*
