  1. zan, didn't you used to have long hair or am i remembering that wrong? our days back on fend are kind of a blur

    Many, many moons ago my friend. Cut the hair to shoulder length about... four/five years ago? And cut it short almost a year ago now. :P

  2. I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't want to EVER lose their virginity and refuses to have sex at all (especially since there are other, less painful and risky ways to get what one calls an orgasm).

    But anyway, anyone that bullies someone else because they haven't had sex is just stupid. You don't have to have sex to enjoy life or show you love another person or anything. If someone has a problem with me choosing to stay abstinent, then woop-dee-do, I don't give a damn. It's my choice, they can deal with it and leave me be.

    In fact, it's almost as bad as bullying someone for their sexuality.

    All I have to say to this, is 'word'. While you may forever miss out on something you could very well enjoy - more power to you, and that's nothing to be insulted or ridiculed for. To each their own, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round - long live the freedom to choose!

  3. Not gonna bother reading the rest of this thread, all I have to say is I was in the same boat as you - was made fun of for being a virgin. I went onto post-secondary, started a course in Auto Mechanics. Now, mechanics are typically known for being jokers and perverts - you can imagine how much shit I caught for not sleeping with my girlfriend. Well, two years into our relationship we finally took that step - and it's not just sex, it's much more. We're closer than we ever were, and we regret nothing. It's not just sex to have sex, it's a bonding experience, something personal that NO ONE else can share. That kind of connection you want to keep - especially if your first is the right one. Even if one day, it ends, at least we had a great experience that no one else can steal from us.

    tl;dr

    I was there, and I didn't let it get to me. Sex is fun, sex rocks, absolutely - but waiting for the right one makes it that much better. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything, don't let anyone make you feel a fool for being a decent human being. Kudos to you for waiting for the right time - don't know you but I already have an immense amount of respect for you.

  4. I was thinking of redoing the trim, but I've actually decided I'll just scrap it and start the body fresh with a new design, so I'll keep that in mind next time. I couldn't get the trim to work the way I wanted it to, maybe I'll have better luck next time. :P

  5. I suppose atheist would best describe me, but even then - I don't enjoy giving myself a label. While atheist is the closest to the truth of how I see things, it's impossible to entirely say one way or another, as bits and pieces of different religions make sense, beliefs are understandable, and some of which I agree with myself. Typically, I leave it to myself to figure things out day by day, instead of placing faith in something I can't necessarily prove. Until I can prove anything regarding religion, I put faith in nothing but time and human will.

  6. Only have pictures from my girlfriend's prom that are recent, so. Here's one of me before we headed out for her night on the town, so I'm not entirely dressed up. A little more casual, I would say.

  7. Chateauguay, a suburb of Montreal in Quebec, Canada.

    It's nothing special - not a terrible place to live, it's quiet enough. But there's serious French/English rivalry around here, but it seems to be dying down. The province as a whole has a terrible bias towards the Francophone population however, the Anglos are slowly being forced out or forced to forgo their rights little by little. :/

  8. Heyhey! Another familiar face, and one of many inspirations! Good to see you Merc, been far too long!

    I appreciate the comment! Means a lot coming from you - I deleted the right-most version on my saved version, haven't touched up on anything else however - was working more on that competition entry. But the input is much appreciated - glad there aren't any conflicting opinions thus far.

  9. Excuse the double post, but I've finished my entry for the 87th round of the splice competition. :P

    Now I can get back to Zanryu's redesign. :P

  10. Been dating the most wonderful girl for going on three years now - our anniversary is in less than a month. :P No one really expected us to last given that she was a couple years younger than me and we were both in the teenage, transitioning phase everyone goes through, where they're all trying to figure out what we want. But we've both changed for the better, and have only grown closer over the years. We spend most days together when our schedules allow, and for the days where they don't we text more often than not - once in a while we'll talk on the phone if we're not too busy. Her family adores me, my family adores her, and her little brother is absolutely obsessed with me (I swear he just likes my car, it's all he ever talks about) - I can honestly say I've never been happier. Even through my hardest point in life, when I was struggling with my own issues and a handful of disorders, she stuck with me and made sure I was okay through it all - she's done something no one else can say they've ever done. And I wouldn't lose her for anything. :P

    But, we met through mutual friends a few years back, it was just after I'd gotten out of a rough relationship and was really just lashing out at the world. A few drunken nights and strung out days later, I ran into her again and started talking - I realized that she was genuinely sweet, and she was adorable to boot. I cut down on my bad habits, made a point to talk to her some. Within the month she was texting me every morning before I went to work, and we'd talk most of the day. She kind of let it slip one night that she liked me, and I spent the next month or two getting closer to her, trying to work up to the relationship. I told her I wanted to take a chance as more than friends, and she said she was willing to try - she'd never so much as held a guy's hand before, so I knew it wouldn't be easy.

    We had ups and downs, but three years later here we are, happy as can be. We've been talking about getting a place next year, maybe the year after - just a small apartment, maybe get a dog. We've discussed the possibility of kids in the future, but we're not holding our breath for it - if it happens, wonderful. If not, then it wasn't meant to be. But I definitely see a future with her, she's never so much as thought a week ahead of anything, and one morning she started talking about our wedding, she's planning a career, she's getting ambitious. It's nice to see, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

  11. Oh my gosh - you have no idea how hard I just face palmed. THAT'S why he looks so odd! It's exactly the same setup as Harken! xP I suppose I'll be changing the palette as I rework him too. :P The blond's gotta stay, however!
    And at the rate I'm going, I may have to bench the splice until Thursday or Friday, whenever it is I get more time to work on it - but so far I'm just about done the head and hair in terms of placement, shaping and reworking. Just going to need to rework the shading and do the body. :P
