D: !

I wouldn't dream of it !
However, since you said that, maybe you wouldn't be opposed to me approaching it differently ?
You'll get an image of all three, it won't be very big or interactive, but it will still be the characters.
Is that all right ?

Jitsumi1221 03-06-2009 01:18 AM

that would be perfectly lovely by me ^^

yay~ i'm glad you think so, ambi! X3 <3 by the way, i haven't tried it yet, but is tegaki quite similar to oekaki? :O the application, i mean. i'm kind of tempted to join XD; what's the biggest canvas size available on tegaki? wah, can't wait to apply for your bribe slot~ :drool:

/EDIT:
jitsu, sorry i missed your semi-gigantic post lolol. anyway, about that friend, wah. it seems so rude of him to do that :/ but on the other hand, it could also be because you guys hang out so often that he feels "comfortable" enough to let you know how he truly feels (whether he really knows where you guys come from or not?) about your living situation. it's annoying that he's so judgemental, but did you talk to him afterwards? like, what triggered him saying all those things anyway?

Jitsumi1221 03-06-2009 04:51 PM

*nods at sho* maybe hes comfortable now with us but you had to hear the way he said it sho. It was just so... so so so very insulting. and what set it off was my husband bought a sword. Its his birthday soon and we have all our bills payed off and we just paid off the car and stuck 2k in savings, so we decided to order his birthday present early to make sure it was here on time. Apparently that really pissed my friend off, saying we throw away our money when we don't have any.. and he doesn't even KNOW we have no bills to pay this month again, no car payments anymore, NO CREDIT CARD debt whatsoever. AND that we discussed whether or not to buy the sword back and forth debating to see if it was a good idea or not. In the end we decided that we were financially sound enough to get it and nothing cause any harm as we had both received our paychecks a few days before as well.

then he started going on a rant about how we aren't clean enough for him. something about i don't fold laundry fast enough so it annoys him that i have it on the couch half done occasionally or on top of the dryer. and then apparently i don't vacuum and dust enough before he comes over, and the kids toys are always (at least one) laying about. and yes, we ARE rather disorganized and most of the time it looks like the living room my kids have tossed their toys all over, but i bloody spend hours cleaning and vacuuming before anyone comes over. and every night before i go to bed. I'm sorry if my house can't be positively spotless when i get off work at 11pm arrive home somewhere around 11:30 and then only clean until 3 am before i'm too tired and have to go to sleep. and i swear he freakin goes LOOKING for the mess so he can be annoyed at me. Like i draw the unfinished load of folded laundry upstairs to my room, and he manages to slink upstairs at some point and point it out.

*mutters* and then last of all we don't know how to raise our children because one of em always has a bump or bruise because they run around the house bulling over things and tripping (because the inherited their insane clumsiness from me). so apparently we are negligent despite the fact she gets bruises swinging her toy around while shes sitting in my lap. as shes generally sitting in my lap 75% of the time im at home. I find it ironic he snarks us out for not watching her more carefully and then while hes holding her she falls on her face on the floor and gets YET another little bruise somewhere.

he has zero room to talk. hes in serious debt, failing at paying his bills, & can't even handle taking care of a puppy. but of course that makes him the absolute perfect person to enumerate the many shortcomings he has decided to grace us with.

-peeks in- Hi.

Eileanora 03-06-2009 05:41 PM

>.>
sorry but, he sounds like an a**hole XD
have you spoken to him since the blowup?

Jitsumi1221 03-06-2009 07:52 PM

i have not. he asked me to call him when he was walking out the door. I'm still to angry.

Ambi Kay 03-06-2009 10:12 PM


Tegaki is MUCH more limited than Shi Painter or Potato, Mei.
It takes some getting used to, but with clever manipulation of the tools, it can produce similar quality images.
Because its so limited, its also quite a challenge.
You should try it. c:

Oh geeze, Jitsumi.
What an arse.
Now that I have those details, I can see there's much more going on than just tactless advice giving.
It sounds like he's trying to make himself feel better for his own shortcomings.
He sees a minor similarity in the situations, may feel helpless to help himself, but thinks he can get some satisfaction by fixing you.
He'd probably never admit it though; its a subconscious process, justified many times over and padded with weak rationalizations.
He needs some help.
All you can really do now is to talk to him calmly and ask him to tend to his own business.
If he can't respect your decisions, tell him you'll start calling out his.
Oh, and mention that parents that fight openly with their friends and family increase the likelihood of violent sibling rivalry in their children; if he knew that, he might not be yelling so openly in your home about how you raise your children.
Even so, its very important to restore your relationship as soon as possible.
Anger festers...and it seems he really meant something to you.
It would be a shame if his momentary stupidity ended a valuable friendship.

Jitsumi1221 03-07-2009 02:27 AM

i can kinda understand on the clean level of things it annoying him. Growing up everything was spotless, the house was NOT some place we generally played in because my dad would go into fits of rage if anything was out of place or if you could see dust on any of the furniture (everything in the house was black and leather.. or chrome.. so fingerprints and dust showed up really clearly). but at the same time.. we didnt play in the house but we had a fenced in back yard and our own tree fort where we were nearly ALWAYS at. And yes.. we are messy, im an insane neat freak but its really hard to muster up a care when you deal with two very hyper kiddos all day (or bitchy entitled customers) and then have to clean after all that's over. i tidy the room EVERY night. i do the dishes less frequently then i should (i AM trying to do them at least every night though) and i vacuum all the rooms at least 2 times a week. He is right though.. i dont dust *shrugs* and im not mopping the kitchen and bathrooms every week. i do sweep... its just i do so hate touching water and chemicals as it makes my exima on my hands flare up.

he called today twice ^^;; didnt bother to get the phone because i was feeling sickly and didnt want to be bothered from my book. i may call back to see what it is he wanted here in a bit... i have a feeling though that i should do it near my new pile of laundry to be folded. I can never think of the right things to say when people make me angry, its only later that i can think of what i should have or really wanted to say.

Goodluck no matter happens, Jitsu.

Jitsumi1221 03-07-2009 08:16 AM

Ambi Kay 03-07-2009 08:54 AM

Nope !

I live in the Florida panhandle.
I'm just a night owl.

Jitsumi1221 03-07-2009 03:52 PM

Ambi Kay 03-08-2009 06:33 AM

Jitsumi1221 03-08-2009 07:21 AM

*has been shamelessly playing with the MAC*

Jitsumi1221 03-08-2009 09:26 AM

oh did they finally add all the new stuff to it *curious* i have the old version DL but im such a computer retardar i try to avoid doing any uploads after because always happens i do something bad ^^;;

Ambi Kay 03-08-2009 09:56 AM

Actually, no, it hasn't been updated (for quite some time from what I understand).
But its all new to me so I still find it useful.

c:

Jitsumi1221 03-08-2009 03:02 PM

*nods sadly* that's what i thought ; ; would be so much more useful if it was but you can't expect the poor lovelies to do everything at once! more important matters come first.

*rolls around the room slowly* lol my children hate me.. less then 4 hours of sleep *rocks back and forth* come monday i imagine i'll sleep a good chunk of the day and night away again.

huh and suddenly i had a fun idea for something to draw *wanders off with her sketchbook*

meilin 03-08-2009 03:42 PM

Oh wow~ Those three look really awesome! O:

Eileanora 03-08-2009 04:36 PM

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. it's definitely pretty!
as is the use of style and technique :]
you must have had TONS of practice with tegaki,
i've been trying it out myself, and have been failing miserably XD
