Or, why I should stay out of the Life Issues forums
So, there's this person on the forums saying she needs someone to listen to her, she's tried committing suicide, her boyfriend ignores her and her friends never make any effort to contact her and her life is shitty.
So I told her exactly what I would tell one of my face-to-face friends if they came to me with this. I told her that she doesn't need to get them to pay attention to her, she needs to improve her self-esteem. I recommended a good therapist, or Tony Robbins' books. Because - GASP! I used to have shitty friends, low self-esteem, a shitty past, and a suicidal streak. And guess what worked for me? You're RIGHT! It WAS a wonderful therapist who helped me boost my self-esteem, learn to love myself, and find better friends! And even at this high point in my life, I feel like Tony Robbins' books have helped me improve myself.
And she writes back, Why don't you read before you say stupid shit? I hate Tony Robbins. I don't have low self-esteem, I have a shitty life.
Because people with high self-esteem have to rely on people on the internet to talk to them so they don't try to commit suicide again.
I am amazed at peoples' capacity to SUCK.

I haven't been on DeviantART in much too long... Of course, only two or three people probably missed me.
But, I've got a working scanner now, so I'll have more art to upload!

People here on DA are really nice. I've been thanked for every single nice comment I've made! Woo! And I've already been friended by someone that I met on DA! *wave to Simmar* 
That makes me really happy.
I'm also getting more used to these emoticons.
I'm looking forward to getting my scanner working, so I can upload more of my recent stuff, instead of just the stuff that's been on my computer for ages.
Hopefully the driver I downloaded today will actually work.
But yeah. I'm going to get breakfast now.

Okay, new artspace.
It may take me a little while to figure this out and get set up.
Bear with me.
