@Yours Truly:

Aww thank you SO much for the support, Truly-chan!! >.< You've always been one of the most supportive people to me, and I've really learned so much from you, it's hard to believe haha! You've been such a great friend to me, and 2012 is just another one of those wonderful years knowing you! ^^ I'm so glad you're going to be making more time for your creative side--that's definitely more like it! haha<3
I definitely know what you mean! Ambitious goals are great, but I just want to make sure I don't end up letting myself down each time xD So I'm going to work REALLY hard to make them happen, or get as close to them as possible! ^^
LOLOL TRULY-CHAN XD. I just busted out laughing just now at that!! hahaha <3 I appreciate that, but I definitely sincerely believe that I haven't created anything THAT great in 2012, and I'm working on making this year much more creative in the color realm. ^^ I haven't created anything I've been that proud of at all since January of 2011 with the Alice pic lol and that was probably the hardest I've ever worked on a pic in my life. xD It saddens me though, to see that many artists can create a pic like the Alice one I did in like...just a few days LOL where it took me MONTHS. xD So I'm going to work on speed, definitely! And quality too, of course. ^^
Ahaha I don't think getting a boyfriend will happen until I get in shape and become happier and more confident in myself. This is a genuinely honest thing, and I'm not saying this to put myself down haha. I do honestly believe that there are so many wonderful things that come with having a good appearance, healthy body and confident look that help you internally feelings-wise. ^^ So I'll focus on that first because I doubt anyone would want to date me now. xD I think it's great that you want to get back into the romance scene!!<3 I'm sure you'll find the most wonderful guy no matter what (and then you won't need to worry so much about daydreaming because it'll all be REAL!<3)~
Thank you thank you! >.< I hope we can both get more wonderful things done this year as well!<33 I love you so much and best of luck to us both! ^^

@Angel Zakuro:

Haha alrighty, Kelsey!! Take your time on the decision ^^ I didn't want to make you feel obligated or anything, so yeah >.<

Aww, well everyone has their own way of doing things! ^^ If resolutions are stressful, definitely don't worry about doing them. lol I'm sure you handle all you need to do well anyway! I unfortunately have a hard time living day-to-day and it sometimes leads to my being way more stressed than I need to be. OTL
Haha I know. It's a VERY hard thing for me to take care of myself because I find myself being just...very weak-willed. *sigh* But I'll try my best no matter what to overcome that! And I know..it's very difficult for some people to let go of taking care of everyone besides themselves for a change sometimes, huh? haha

Thank you so much for being so so supportive, Kelsey! >.< <3 I've been working hard with school matters, but I want to include art matters in it as well! And more importantly, work on my health too! There's so much to do haha, but it feels like there's so little time! xD So I guess I've just gotta MAKE time! haha<3 I'll keep working hard, so do your best too, okay? <33 I love you so much and good luck to you for everything as well!! ^^ *hugs* If you need anything, you know I'm here!!

*hugs* Happy new year! Thanks for asking me about that fanart event. I'll think about it. I am not a fanartist in the sense that...i don't know...lol. I don't draw often enough or am creative enough it seems to be able to draw any chara or do certain poses. >>' But thanks again. I'll see if I feel like being ambitious haha.

Sounds like great resolutions! I never come up with resolutions. I go day by day....and I know if I come up with something on the first of the year, it will only stress me out more thinking about it. It is good to have goals...I tend to just come up with them each day...long-term goals scare me. >>''' But I congratulate you on making them. And I wish you all the best. :) Your first one is really important. I need to do that as well...sometimes it's hard to take care of ourselves...and do it so that we don't feel like we're being "selfish." Most of the time, we aren't even being selfish. It's the other people's twisted logic looking at us and thinking we are because for once in our lives we wanna do something for ourselves. Yet...we are meant to take care of ourselves first and foremost. Without ourselves, we can't take care of anyone else! Anyhoo, good luck with that. :)

I'm sure you'll be able to accomplish a lot. <3 Especially with art. You are soooo good!!! With how theO has been...I don't see many people getting 100+ hugs...on anything. The site has been lazier lately. .___. So even great artists get passed by.

Take care~

Happy to hear all of your goals and accomplishments! It's great to see how much you've grown in a year and of course I'M PROUD OF YOU! I can relate with your artistic goals too, I haven't drawn barely at all this year but I'm going to change that this year! I'm taking a more creative turn in my career and business so I'll have all my time to create and draw!

It sounds like you're in for an awesome year! There is nothing wrong with setting high goals as long as you don't get pressured to be perfect. We all had a time we scored under what we wanted and that's okay! Life goes on and you have to keep a smile on your face! AND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NOT WORTHY OF 100 VOTES!? I totally get not giving a damn about the numbers thing but your art is worth it's weight in gold! It's more then worthy and don't let numbers (or the lack of them) determine that! :D

I also get the boyfriend thing LOL. I soooo want to get in the romance scene again. I've learned a lot about what I wanted for myself so I feel a lot more wiser about it. Also a good call to work on yourself too(something I've been doing in the last 2-3 years when I didn't want a partner). I know sometimes when we don't know what we really want we get into relationships that don't last. BUT don't let anything stop you from getting what you want, even yourself! I know you'll find that right guy, heck he will find you I bet lol! You're so awesome! But yeah wishing us a lot of luck! I've been indulging in my romantic fantasies in the last few months and LOVING IT! :D

Love what you got done in are ready to achieve! Super good luck in everything and I'll talk to you really soon! :D

@aragorn1014:

U _U i supposeeeee idk i don't feel like i accomplished much of anything! oh well;;

; v; yes this is true!

UM I THINK YOU MEAN THE ANIMATION FOR EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE
ahhhh i know :((( it's a wonderful movie and i really hope there might be a sequel even though it hasn't done so well??? idk but it was a beautiful movie ahhhhh
even if you don't see it in 3D it's definitely worth seeing a second time. * ^* i can't wait until it comes out on dvd, i will watch it so many timessssss (also you should totally look into getting the art book! i hear it's really good, i'm just waiting until amazon restocks e _e )

@Kirobug:

Haha thank you!! >.< Aww I'm sure you did more than roll around on the floor! I mean, come on, you got into an art program and now you're gonna major in Illustration! That's a HUGE change!! ^^
LOL don't worry, I think it will all be really awkward at first, but after that we can say that we're real life friends too, you know? ^^
Ahaha I agree!! Sandy's way of communicating was just...too adorable T__T THE ANIMATION FOR THE DREAM SAND askdhgalsdg. Beautiful!!<333 And I want to go watch it a second time...ugh it's SO sad it's not doing well in the box office because of the time it was released T__T
There are too many parts in the movie where I was like THIS WOULD BE AWESOME IN 3D, so I'm considering it. But I LOVED it in 2D so yeah...DVD is a must buy!! >.<

@aragorn1014:

ffffff yes you were! BU You did well in school and volunteered and did cool stuff while i rolled around on the floor. you were successful missy!
U _U no, resolutions make me sad and/or grumpy plus i tend to forget about them after a month or two
* q* olive gardennnnnnn
we will! i will be so awkward though sobs
kjbfjvd i just loved everything about Sandy, his not talking was so adorable and the sand pictionary jbjvnd ; _; plus he was badass too he was the best
Jack is my second favorite! The others are pretty equal but i really loved Tooth's design (and the insane amount of detail and thought they put into animating her!) Baby Tooth was so cute too!
i didn't see it in 3D, it's too much of a hassle for me lol;; plus i am too cheap to shell out a couple more bucks when i don't feel like 3D is as awesome as it should be U _U i did see it twice though! and ahhhh i sat up really close the second time and i swooned over the animation and all the detail(i am still swooning haha!)

@Kirobug:

Awww no way!! I thought I wasn't that successful, but I did accomplish quite a bit in other areas this year, so I guess I'm happy about that ^^ What about you? Do you have any resolutions or anything?<3
AND I KNOW. I got to meet her AND her family!! They were all super nice and they even bought me dinner at Olive Garden adsgkhasldg. WE SHOULD MEET SOMEDAY FOR SURE!! >.<
RISE OF THE GUARDIANS I KNOW ASDKGHLASG. Sandy is SOO adorable haha<3 I definitely plan on drawing fanart for Rise of the Guardians, that's for sure! >.< (sadly I fall in the group who has Jack Frost as a favorite--mostly because I find him really relatable haha) And I really like Baby Tooth! haha did you watch in 3D?

fffff ; ^; you always have such awesome goals and YOU WERE SO SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR and agh so jealous you got to meet an online friend (and fun-chan at that!) sobs i will get to visit you and igi someday!

* ^* ROTG soundtrack! kjbfbnvd such a wonderful movie ahhhhh Sandy was my favorite ; v;
