Sprites and stuff

[liabrown]

By my standards, this has been a fairly exciting week. katzedecimal and axolotl_lan came to visit on Saturday, and we had a very nice time :) Didn't do anything more special than go out for dinner (a chilly rain dashed tentative plans of going to the park to see the animals), but it was nice to talk and catch up and get to know each other better. But I forget to take

They don't notify...?

Oy!

[liabrown]

Yeah, they said they get too many in to be able to notify the kids. They just hold onto them in case the kids show up.

Still haven't gotten a reply from whomever I tweeted to. Oh well.

Yeah, funny thing is that Laurier was one of the schools I applied to waaaay back when. They were the only one which didn't accept me, and maybe that was for the best :>

Thank you, I'm glad you like them! :) But it was at Tumblr, not FB :> I actually think more people would like them at FB.

[liabrown]

Tumblr's not bad, but people there seem to be fickle.

Well I'm certainly not going to discourage you from drawing it ;) I wrote Roscoe/Lisa smut for the first time in ages; still deciding whether I should post it. I feel weird about posting smut.

LJ conked out when I was commenting, so I'll try to recreate my reply. It was basically this:

"Thank you so much for the thought, Lia. It's been a while since someone did something this nice for me and it made my day!"

Now, add in a bunch of "omg" and crying and hugging of pixels and you've got my reply ^^ Seriously, thank you. The thought was unexpected and I'm still sniffling with happiness ^^

[liabrown]

Oh you're welcome, I'm glad it made you feel better :) Feel free to use it as you see fit!

so, from the back

Yeah, it was tempting at times to wait until it was more convenient (like I could get a ride or something) or just try to contact the owner and have her pick it up. But I thought that in her place I'd appreciate it if somebody tried really hard to help me, and it's only fair to do the same for someone else.

I was surprised it was so mall-like. Maybe a lot of schools are like that now, I don't know, but mine definitely wasn't back in the day. Laurier is a very business-oriented school, so maybe they have more commercial aspects to them. They might have closer relations to corporate/commercial interests than my (very) liberal arts school did. Though even in my day, students at my school protested at what they saw as encroaching corporate interests.

Sprites are fun! I thought about doing one of those desktop buddies, but didn't quite understand how they work and gave up on the idea. They'd probably distract me anyway :>

We wish you could join us :\ Maybe someday, you'd certainly be welcome ^_^

[runenklinge]

maybe it's the commercial relation, our uni is very big on languages, history, religion and archeology, but not very big on the rest, including economics etc.

the buddy, or shimeji, consists actually out about 25 different pics of the same character doing things - mostly just one foot in front of the other, then the other foot, etc.

probably someday when i have a paying job^^

[liabrown]

Your school sounds like my kind of school, since those are some of my favourite topics ^_^

Ah, I'd probably lose patience making 25 sprites of the same character. Drawing with a mouse is kind of hard on my arthritis, so I don't do a lot of it.

I've always wondered what German-speakers must think of the awful anglicized German names in this city. I was kind of horrified when I moved here and learned that people pronounce Weber Street as "Weeber". And we actually do have a fair number of people from Germany who live here, not just people of German descent.
