Whoopee!

[alesoun]

Time for some happy time sharing, I think, to chase the gloom away!

Okies, I'll start!

Husband's birthday tomorrow, so we're going out for a meal; and I won £1 on a scratch card.......

[Jabo]

That's different. So I'll jump on.

I just finished a job that I've been pushing forward for two weeks. And I did it in only one third the time I thought it would take.

[alesoun]

Congrats, Jabo!

What's next?

[Micaiah Nelson]

My little brother started drawing again and wants to get into the industry. Im super happy. He's starting the age I got serious, but sence I'll be helping him he'll know what to focus on.

[ChaoticKnight]

Hmm...
I have an internship in California, I've been healthy for awhile, and people are actually interested in hiring me for art as of recently. :D

haha this is the anti-complain thread. xP

[Robert.B]

I went potty

[Ilaekae]

I went potty TWICE... nyah nyah nyah...

For future reference, birch bark is not the same as that peanny brickle stuff by the same name...

[Crane]

I went potty TWICE... nyah nyah nyah...

and only one of them was in your pants! :pirate:

[Brendan N]

Wow, well done Jabo, I never get that thing anymore. Always winds up taking twice as much time at least...

My turn - I try not too brag too often, but this is more happy than brag for me:

I got my final year at college free after winning the best student award. Only beat the competition by about 0.3% as rumour has it, but that's around forty thousand bucks I got back (USD 5000).

A happy chappy I am. plus I've been promoted to full toilet, no more potties for me. A happy crappy I am.

[Serpian]

Yay! I got accepted to a classical atelier in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago!
The teachers of www.ateljestockholm.se are the ones Mindcandyman studied under, so I'm sure it'll be great!

Now I'm off to the complaints thread to bitch about how hard it's to find somewhere to live there.......

[JL.Alfaro]

I just spent 15 minutes staring at the monitor..desperately trying to find something positive to jot down and then do a happy dance...




I got nothin.

[Ilaekae]

How about, "You don't live in Florida."?

[JL.Alfaro]

possibly headed that way next year..illi

hows about, my hemorrhoids arent flaring this morn? or is that too much info?

[Vhan Juju]

I just got back from visiting a collage campus for THREE DAYS! and on the last day I got to meet and shake hands with the CEO of Gearbox! (Yea, I know, I just shook the guys hand but I couldn't stop smileing!)

OHHHHH it was GREAT, got to listion to them speak, and EVERYTHING!

I'm so going to UTD! :):steph: :mittenbop:

[0kelvin]

I'm going to be an uncle in a matter of days!

[yoitisi]

This thread made me smile :)

Lets see: I just finished a COW while I didn't expect to enter this round, I finally filled in my tax papers (the results weren't cool, but I finished it), I have a job interview tomorrow and I'm going to the german sketchmeet end of this week after all...so yeah, I'm a happy person atm :D

[invinciblewombat]

i fixed my computer through a combination of kicking and swearing! both of which are much cheaper than the new computer i had anticipated having to buy.

[TheDirtSyndicate]

im with an amazing girl that accepts everything about me. (and im an extremely weird guy...)
she has an amazing dog named xuxu, a boxer
we're buying a house in the pacific palisades
i just got a raise... not as much as i wanted, but it'll do for now
this past weekend i got to see a good friend of mine from afganistan, first time in almost 2 years i've even had the chance.
uhm...
oh, i go see the black keys tomorrow night! im excited about that.

[alesoun]

Robert, Ilaekae, J.L. Alfaro, I'm so pleased for you; I know how important regular habits are to men! :)

[Ilaekae]

No shit! I even have three...one for everyday, one for feast days, and one for sunday mass... :P

[alesoun]

Pics, or I don't believe! Lol!

[Robert.B]

Robert, Ilaekae, J.L. Alfaro, I'm so pleased for you; I know how important regular habits are to men! :)

also went tinkle...standing up ah HAH!

[Matsign]

My schools' art show is on Thursday, their are 5 different money prizes. I have two entries in the show. Pretty stoaked!

[Ilaekae]

A wee bit beat up as pics, but...

Ask, und ye shall receave...

[Matsign]

hahahaha, rad!

[ChaoticKnight]

A wee bit beat up as pics, but...

Ask, und ye shall receave...

Its all coming together now....

[Jacob Kobryn]

After two years of waiting, The Sword's new album finally came out! And it kicks ass! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Digital_Blacksmith]

Well, I started work on my game again with great fanfare, got some new jobs, my magazines are about to come out in the UK, and yeah....other then that though, not so good.

[Jabo]

Wow, well done Jabo, I never get that thing anymore. Always winds up taking twice as much time at least...

Yeah it's seldom. It doesn't mean tho that I didn't spend the last two thirds on refining the typography (web programming, so typography is the hardest bitch to beat).


I got my final year at college free after winning the best student award. Only beat the competition by about 0.3% as rumour has it, but that's around forty thousand bucks I got back (USD 5000).

Congrats, man! It sure was a tough fight.

Nothing too good today. My family is slowly falling apart after my little brother left for a job and now it's just the three inhibited unemotional folks of us not talking to each other. But I'll be going to a bar tonight with a friend I don't see often nowadays. So this will be my highlight.

[alesoun]

also went tinkle...standing up ah HAH!

and I hope your aim was straight and true! (Think I can do without the pics on that one, though.....) ;)

[Slash]

I've lost 42 pounds plus change since mid january - still loosing.

I got Nic and co's "Dolor" in the mail today.

I learned the first half of "the decisive battle" on the guitar today.

Lately I've realized that you can do ANYTHING, all you need is discipline. I've believed it in the past, but now i KNOW.

//edit: I saw Illy dressed as a nun today. The vatican was shaking the richter's up to a 2.5 from the long line of popes spinning in their graves.

[Sepulverture]

I am getting all settled in in Beijing, started a new job this week, and finally getting some time to draw again, and got a date tonight. Woowoo

[Jabo]

Slash: Congrats. 21 kilos and counting. That's awesome.

I haven't smoked for exactly 3 months.

[Vhan Juju]

I brought My lunch to school today...in a legend of zelda lunch box! HA!

[Jabo]

You win. That is so cool :D

[magicgoo]

Grats on the weight loss, Slasheh!

This is dorky, but I'm 4 months into being a new mom, and it's pretty spiffy. I now receive a big smile from my baby when she makes eye contact and it gets me all fuzzy and squealy :}

On the bad side, I'm finding NO time to do art, but I did take some ref photos, so maybe I'll have some new paintings.... one day? I hope?

[Vhan Juju]

Auww! congrats magicgoo!

[ciots]

[Steph Laberis]

Oh a non-ranty thread!

Ok, so I took the advice on that employment blog that Jessibean posted not too long ago and followed up with a studio I really wanted to work for and heard back this weekend. They're into me and I may be interviewing with them soon. :steph:

Also came back from my birthday trip last night (which ended on a really high note, thanks to my sweetie) to find a stack of presents, cards and flowers from friends and family that arrived while I was away. I felt really effin' special ^_^

[alesoun]

Steph, you are really effin' special; accept it and forgive yourself!

Erm, if you don't want the flowers....... :)

Good luck with the job!

[JessiBean]

GRATZ Steph! Everyone is into you, I think, though... how could they not be? Go get that job, tiger...
:teeth:

Also, Way to go Slashiepoo, I knew you had it in you...
Keep going!
:heart:

[Matsign]

You win. That is so cool :D

grats, thats really something.

[alesoun]

I've had a pig of a day, BUT, I just won £10 on the lottery! :)

[Robert.B]

ok ok ill contribute something serious to this thread.
well a few days ago I got hired as assisstant instructure at fullsail teaching the foundation 3d modeling class, and the advanced maya/Zbrush character design class.

[Sogbad]

I start a new AD job at Gearbox on Monday, again thanks to Jessibean's post about following up on job applications. Thanks Jessibean :)

[Qitsune]

Erm, I finally found an appartment that didn't suck (I swear I saw the weirdest places ever, like a house that has a door leading outside, which bottom was waist high in the middle of a staircase) and we're moving in in May. Can't wait to have my own place (living in friend's basement is convenient but it's not my home, and living in a diff city as the bf sucks)

And I love my job too, doing animation AND level art, sometimes litterally at the same time. Oh, and it might just stop snowing sometime soon (we had over 5 meters of snow in Quebec Cit this winter.)

[Jabo]

I created Smart Folders for my incoming email today, which is a huge relief compared to the usual way of sorting things. The reason I did it is because now that I'm at the uni, I get regular email from people who are not auto-mail-responders. That's two in a row I guess.

[Shmaba]

Ass pats to all, and to all a good spank for your happy posts! :assspank:

[Jason Rainville]

Got applause for presenting my take on a wacom commercial (it wasn't spectacular but that was an ego booster, s'in my SB)

People give me compliments on my art every so often which is nice

I'm happy making art again (studies especially)

School is almost over and I can start making money that doesn't get shoveled straight back into school

[Justin.]

I'm deciding where to go to art school :>

[Robert.B]

My Hp black bird came in the mail today. the box was the size of a fridge wieghed 70 pounds.

[biscuitninja]

finally got the real estate together... I can Start to think about doing something else other than engineering... the downside is that they are laying off/firing people... :(

Oh well i'm happy I'm at least seeing more time with my wife.
-bix

[aea]

Time for some happy time sharing, I think, to chase the gloom away!

Okies, I'll start!

Husband's birthday tomorrow, so we're going out for a meal; and I won £1 on a scratch card.......

Your subject was misleading. siiiiiiiigh j/k

I should probably be in bed now. I have to go to dumb school for like an hour in the morning. Then I get to come home and crash :) I'm off the rest of the week though.

[markwagner]

OK, our chalk drawing project just got a $10,000 grant! Sweet, and we really needed funding as we go into the home stretch.

[Jacob Kobryn]

I just won two tickets to see Dethklok, Chamaira, and Soilent Green!!!!!!!! WOOOT!!!!!

[Kman.]

I haven't smoked for exactly 3 months.

A great accomplishment :)


I start training for a new job drawing caricatures at the zoo today. :D

[Ghostrhyme]

Hmmm...

Well, in agreeance with complete2 I'm with a wonderful lady that has enormous patience for how weird I am. She has a little minpin that has adopted me fully. I have a job interview next saturday, and if I get the job I move in here full-time. Aaaaand, a year from this fall I'll be entering art school (it's a money thing).

[Costau D]

I did nothing at all the past 2 days. And, soon I will be moving too Las Vegas for 5 months. After that I will hopefully decide to suck it up and mov eout on my own to either Vancouver, Seattle, or San Francisco. Then I will save up some money for a trip to Beijing. It all depends.
