Post Pico Day

Caught something gnarly after my flight coming home from Philly and I htink I'm feeling better...

Yea...

Pico Day went better than expected! I met people who've followed my work for years! It was amazing and so exciting to see people who're like YO I LIKE YOUR STUFF! It means a lot and the fact one of you bought a peice made my week! Saw old friends I haven't seen in over a year which was amazing, though it was sad to see the old and new people I met go, I sincerly hope you all had a safe travel home free of sickness.

I handed out so many business cards it was ridiculous, and a hit! I'm glad I had the ability to go and get invited, hopefully I can do this again next year! I'm trying to find anyone I met at pico day, if any of you have skype my username is on the side of my profile. I'm on skype a lot so that's the best way to stay in constant contact (besides newgrounds).

I'm really excited for other friend's projects finishing up after so long, and listening to people's projects while some of us crashed on the room the afternoon on pico day. Livestream was fun and a little nervous, I saw some of you i've followed for years show up and it was so cool. I was worried about showing my face, but after awhile and people recognizing me through some of the faces in my work the worry passed.

I'm going to be doing my best to keep the store updated, it's been a bit hard keeping up with that along with this new BA/MBA program. Weird news from art school. I didn't realize how many applicants applied this year, it was nuts! Though there ma be a spot for me, there's a litle plan me and the director and setting up that'll be pretty sweet for the next year. Can't get into too much detail but I think it'll work out for the best! Life is really weird. Things happen and peopel fall in and out of your life. Sometimes you wonder, expecially with those who mean a great deal, why they fell into your life. I've gotten those answers when i least expected it. You can't push things like that, but in the end there's a reason for things and people improve/teach you a lesson/offer help. I really hope to stay in touch with all the people I met. It was also really amazing to meet such a nice group of girlies at pico day who just want to do art! It's great! Please for those I met let's be buds it was awesome to meet you all!

Hope none of you got sick and had a safe night! :)

Looks like you were there early, shame we didn't talk earlier on :( You look good with a part in your hair!

linda-mota 2015-05-20 01:37:43

i got there around 230 looking for people i knew and ended up hanging with people i saw at the trainsation. at the very least i got to meet you, perhaps next year i'll try ot show up at preco day. and thank you! I usually part my har, unless it becomes it's usual wavy mess.

VicariousE 2015-06-09 20:15:42

I had my (borrowed) internet cut off, but hope to be back online in another week or two with a connection of my own... if my sister isn't too neurotic about it... which she is anyway :( Hope you've been doing well!

linda-mota 2015-06-09 20:15:42

ah ha you return! good luck with your sister. i've been doing pretty well actually. hope things are (or will at least) are the same on your end!

VicariousE 2015-06-12 15:08:13

Huh, my sis already burned herself out micro managing things, that were outside her control :p Anyway, the buyer's satisfied so far, still waiting on a few tests.. he got an extension, so I'll know by the end of the month where I'll stand. If it doesn't go through... worried about standing at all. But I'm okay, pot's a good therapy for my situation lol

linda-mota 2015-06-12 15:08:13

pot only made me anxious so i can't say the same lol. i've noticed micromanagement is more trouble than it's worth but hopefully you'll be good by the end of the month.

VicariousE 2015-06-15 20:27:36

I have so few fucks to give anymore, anxious, actually works in my favor ;)
I agree with you about micromanagement... and this, as former producer of music videos and such! If you structure things (linearly) well enough, there's no need ta get all nitty picky

linda-mota 2015-06-15 20:27:36

I've started to feel like that too, I have enough anxiety problems why add to the list. good attitude. Nearly all micromanagement ends really bad in terms of creative shit, and sometimes kids dependig on the situation.

VicariousE 2015-06-18 20:10:37

Kids are like the only thing worth micromanaging... saves parents the trouble later on. My folks did okay with me, much better than with my older siblings.

linda-mota 2015-06-18 20:10:37

to an extent, or else you'll become one of those annoying helicopter parents. there's a line but people don't want a line and it gets annoying and you end up with shit kids who perpetuate the vicious cycle.

VicariousE 2015-06-19 15:31:58

Eh, so long as all the salient subjects are talked about at least once.... too many kids grow up without any kinda pre-programming at all, end up acting like sentient pets, only after what their feral heart desires lol. When it comes to girls, well, I was kinda that way

linda-mota 2015-06-19 15:31:58

raising kids is a sacrifice and really tough and a lot of poeple just want to have the kids like new stuff but not put in the work to be responsible for raisinf fucking new lives. sickening really...

VicariousE 2015-06-20 15:24:35

Yeah, they figure they'll let 'the village' raise their kids :p Socialism loves to raise kids, makes them all the same: compliant, predictable and trusting of 'the state', which happens to think they're better than parents or even *gasp* God....

Wow, I'm on an old man roll today O-o you working on any new pieces just now? It's nice to have something to when you wake up in the morning.

linda-mota 2015-06-20 15:24:35

it's mostly career women who pull that shit, or at least the snobby ones here with more resources. i don't like the ones who decide to choose to stay hom so they know they'll be ble to raise the kids right. it's not eassy and it really takes two or more people to help you. yea some new stuff go posted, and technically soemthing a bit old but i was able to post it..

I hope after you have found what you where looking for, you will hold on to these moments and remember how much fun it is to be the one to showcase to the world what you are made of!!
I wish I could have been there. You made it sound fun.
I think I might see you around. If NG's continues to be a place you can just breathe.
