I forgot to do this yesterday, so I'd like to declare my appreciation of Spam. Is tasty, especially when fried. = P

There should be a holiday declared for Spam. Simple. :3

Agreed. Also, spam is good with potatoes.

I've just got this mail about the group project that I worked for months coupled with sleepless nights,

My team got the Best Project Award and being the Project Manager, I am proud of my team

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 4:49 pm

Congrats on the team project, what was it about?

A prototype mobile phone system that deals with information which could improve a student's life and some of its potential uses outside of the education system.

The Make a Wish Foundation really is a good foundation. I heard about this story because it happened in my own backyard:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/l ... oy30m.html
Erick Martin, who has Liver Cancer, wanted to be a superhero. So the Make a Wish Foundation orchestrated his huge thing for him as Electron Boy!

You had THAT in your backyard?

Looks funny, though sad to hear about the disease.

ctcmjh · Post by **ctcmjh** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 5:58 pm

By backyard, I mean that Seattle isn't that long of a drive from my house. Yeah, it's sad about the kid's disease, but I think it's just plain awesome what they did for him.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 6:02 pm

This happened yesterday? Were you there to see it?

ctcmjh · Post by **ctcmjh** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 6:04 pm

Nah, I heard about it on the radio. I wish I was there so badly! It would have been so cool!

Imma go play Final Fantasy 13 now

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 11:26 pm

Good luck :0, I have forgotten if that was an online one or not.

Also hope you have some other coincidental happenings in your near future that you can share.

What should i do?
My parents don't know about Housepets! (Well, they do, but very vaguely) my dad has seen some of my drawings, and thinks its cool that i draw about something i like. But my mom doesn't know,(Except that she knows i wrote a long story about house pets, but hasn't read it.) and shes the one that will embarras and annoy me about it. Though my friends already know i read Housepets! If both my parents knew, and didn't care, i would draw up a freaking storm here of fan-art.
(BTW, i just got a new HP scanjet 4890 scanner that i could scan my drawings in with)

there are 3 things that could happen:
1. They hate Housepets! and never allow me on the forums again, 25%
2. They dont really care. they dont endorse it or deny it. 40%
3. they like me doing it and think its good to take up drawing again. 35%

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sat May 01, 2010 7:44 pm

I see no reason of why your parents would disprove you using these forums. Though I do not really know how your parents are so I have no real input on the situation, but it would be nice for you to draw more fan-art if all things bod well.

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Sat May 01, 2010 7:52 pm

So what should I do to introduce it to them? I'm 14 and they just barely let me play T games. It would be kind of awkward to me and them if I just went up to them and, said " yeah, so I like this anthropormorphic comic online and I want to draw pictures of the animals to show other people online".

Any ideas?

Jimmy Jazz · Post by **Jimmy Jazz** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:00 pm

that's exactly what you should do.

*coughcough*

Jokes aside, I don't see much reason why they would dislike this, I mean, this IS PG-13.
and... yeah.

I would just draw stuff, then if they bring it up explain it, and mention somewhere in that explanation that it is PG-13.
Soo yeah. that's what I would probably do.

and possibly doing. maybe. I'm not really drawing Anthro's much.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:05 pm

I'd say let them know about the comic, but not the forum. If they are not familiar with how family-friendly this forum is, they can make a (pretty fair) false assumption that this is not a place for a 14-year-old. Unless you expect them to carefully observe what goes on here (and are OK with that), I'd just say the art is just something you're making for fun.

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:08 pm

Show them Better Days and the Something Awful forums and if they realize you're neither fan nor member of those you can show them pretty much everything else you like and they will like it in comparison.

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:16 pm

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to draw a HP character and if my parents ask I'm going to throw something heavy at them and tell them to "SHUT UP!"
an again, thanks for the idea!

for real, thanks for the help. I'm going to go draw now.

@sleet: I don't think they'll care much about the forums, if you've ever played toribash, or visited their forums. I've been there for 2 years.
And they even have a section in there forum for posting stuff that would get you insta-permanently banned here. (though they neve knew that *cough*)

and anyway, it's not so much the rating that bothers me as it is the embarrassment of doin. Girly things like write fanfiction or draw fanart. The girls like talking to me About what I lik to write about, but the other boyslaugh at me fo doing it. Kind of like grape when she's writing a fanfiction on the roadtrip and peanut looking over her shoulder.

And to say... Just for the sake of it.... I am a fan of better days. But not a member of there forums.

Great, Now my fingers hurt form typing this on my iPhone.

ChewyChewy · Post by **ChewyChewy** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:19 pm

Hey, I draw fanart myself, and I'm a guy.

My avatar is not to be taken into account (I didn't draw it anyway, although I did make up the characters).

Post by **Sleet** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:30 pm

Pre- or Post-Rand Better Days?

Zander · Post by **Zander** » Sat May 01, 2010 8:37 pm

I'm trying to show them it slowly. Like right now I have my laptop background to cycle through all of the wallpapers that were made by tails++
Thy havnt seen it yet, because I just changed it like 6 hours ago. But I'm sure they'll see it sometime soon.
Until then wish me luck. :0
I've read every comic in better days and the second comic.

We were talking about Santa! Oh, how he gives presents and joy to children around the world!
And you should tell your parents, if you feel that you should.

And apparently he makes all the toys, but a lot of children get toys with trademarks on them. Santa would get sued big time by these companies.
