Thanks DR. I'll have to go check out your stories.

BTW, how do you like my new avatar? He's my mhn and the guy who's running with Alistair, now. His name is Richard. I made him several years ago for the D&D game I used to run. I fell in love with him and he's my fav character. If I wrote, I'd have to write about him, what he'd say instead of the choices they actually give in the game. My only problem is I don't remember any of the other characters lines...well, I remember a few. Very few and mostly Alistair's. You can tell where MY focus is....lol

[SRWill64]

OK

Taiyama=Alistair in his feelings of inadequacy lol

Taiyama, give yourself more credit than that. You had me tearing up during the funeral but when they lit the funeral pyre and Leilana and Alistair lost it, so did I! Don't sell yourself short. I had tears dripping off my face and soaking the front of my shirt....and you can't write...Hah!

Yeah, I've been told I'm like Alistair in more ways than one.  

Seriously, though, thank you. Your comment made me smile and brightened my day (well, er, night at this point). I think I'll actually go finish my contest entry for Maker's Breath, now...

So you're walking around with roses in your pocket, are lacking something in the lamppost department, and 5000 teenage girls are writing stories about your cutness and awsomeness?

Jest apart, give yourself more credit, you definitely got something going in your writing.

[Taiyama]

While I cannot claim to have roses in my pocket nor will I EVER have ANY teenage girls writing stories about me, if by "lacking something in the lamppost department" you mean "Am I a virgin?" in which case that answer is "yes". Christian waiting for marriage and all that. But what I meant by that comment was that I share his general dorkiness (though I'm nowhere near as adorkable as he is), loyalty, fixation on duty, and tendency towards self-deprecation.



But thanks, Olwaye. Means a lot to hear you say that.

[Olwaye]

I knew what you meant, I just couldn't resist a good teasing, especially about the fangirls as it is a collateral damage of Alistait cute dorkiness.

I'm so glad. I like to make people smile...or laugh...or both. It's kind of hard to laugh when you're not smiling....

There's nothing wrong with that, Taiyama, waiting for marriage before...you know. And no I don't mean 'seen a basilisk, ate jellied ham, or licked a lamppost in winter'. LOL
And the rest of those qualities are adorable, no matter who you are; some-lucky-body will appreciate them. As I keep telling you, don't sell yourself short.

[Taiyama]

Heh, thanks. I do know that, though. Honestly, it's only in my writing that my low self-esteem still shows. In most other places I've managed to fix my confidence issues. If I come across as kinda depressive here, it's only because we're dealing with my writing--I'm usually not like that.

[DalishRanger]

You're not the only one unsure of themselves at times. I always have confidence issues about my art and writing, though I try not to let them show too much on here.

And like the others have said, nothing wrong with sharing traits with Alistair.

[Taiyama]

Yeah, it's probably just something that time and experience will fix. I'll try to keep my own fits of low self-esteem from showing up myself.



And by the way, after doing two updates of Tales of Taiyama Surana, a new chapter for this is up next. I won't be getting it done until Wednesday, though. I've got a tough schedule: a big speech worth 25% of my grade in that class, a test, and a paper. Goody.

Makes me really glad I majored in Fine Arts.

... Oh wait. I had to write a speech for my art show and give it in front of a room full of strangers as a requirement for graduation. Nevermind.

Er, in any case... Good luck!

[Taiyama]

To clarify, the test is in a different class, but the speech and the paper are due on the same day.

[DalishRanger]

I didn't think they were all for the same class. See, as a Fine Arts major, very, very few of my classes required papers and speeches. I took very few non-art classes, and most I took care of early on. My art classes focused on projects more than anything else.

[Taiyama]

Ah.



And you know, it just occurred to me that I neglected to explain the Christian symbolism in the second chapter. It's really not that complicated, though. How many days did Alistair mention that it rained? And how many days was it between Christ's death and His resurrection (well, SUPPOSED resurrection, to be fair)? I'm just implying that a savior died and with the rain gone and the group heading back out under Alistair's leadership, a new savior has risen.

[DalishRanger]

Interesting! That's more subtle, but I actually think it's better subtle.

Very nicely hidden. No, I didn't catch it.

[Taiyama]

Well, if no one caught it, perhaps it was TOO nicely hidden?

[DalishRanger]

Perhaps.

[Taiyama]

PFFFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!



That's awesome, DR. Thanks for giving me a good laugh on a Friday morning.

[DalishRanger]

The ticket to hell I might've earned from doing that is totally worth the laugh. xD

[SRWill64]

No ticket to Hell but definitely hilarious! And yes, I do believe God has a sense of humor...look at the platypus!

Hiya, Taiyama! How's it going? Just checking in. Have a good weekend, though it's halfway over. Same to you DR.

Right, it's like I've said before: of course God has a sense of humor, just look at puberty! *ba-dum-tish*

And I'm fine, thank you very much. Got a new air conditioning installed in my trailer since the old one died and fixed some leaks in the water pipes (for the second time--I swear, we should have just replaced the entire network of pipes when we first got here; I hate this crummy trailer of mine. But yeah, besides that, doing great. How are you?

[DalishRanger]

@SRWill64: I'm agnostic, so I've always figured if there is a god, he/she/it certainly has a sense of humor. Coincidentally, I often use the platypus as an example too. xD Plus, my family teases me about bursting into flames if I ever walk into a church because of my agnosticism/irreverent sense of humor (and yes, they mean it in good humor, so nobody please get irritated at them on my account).

As for my weekend... Meh. Worried about a few friends, but I know it's more likely me being worrisome than them being in too much stress. Going to play some ME2 soon to try and get my mind off of it.

@Taiyama: You got new AC too, huh? We just had the upstairs AC replaced last week. It died on us, but it was about 11 years old anyway. AC is a MUST have if you live in the South, as I'm sure you know. xD

[Taiyama]

OH, yes, AC is definitely necessary down here. While my 20 year-old AC was down, I was lucky to have a lot of fans going so it wasn't THAT bad. Still got rather hot at times.



By the way, out of curiosity, was pollen covering absolutely everything over there when Spring began like it was over here? 'S awesome, especially in the early mornings when I had this wonderful dew-pollen concoction on my windshield that left marvelous streaks when I used the windshield wipers.
