Well, people watching, I thank you for taking concerns in my small petty life. >w<

It's a very touchy matter... of who owns what things I'm finding real fast. I'm not in trouble yet... and I try to be careful of things. Really.

Some of you, for example, would know I go to Whirled [link] , and that I have asked people here if I could "use" there art in the sense of uploading a thumbnail image that would link back to their submissions.
Understandably, half the people say no. Fear of having their art "taken" and sold for money on mugs or mouse pads without permission or credit.

Another thing comes up... and it's probably nothing that will result with something. But what if someone just wants to draw a thing? Or if something does look close to someone's work that they claim is completely copyright... and no one else can make anything remotely similar, even if that thing is based off something that DOES have some sort of copyright, or more so is based off origins older than gaming itself?

... Personally I don't think there is going to be an issue... if I'm drawing mostly for personal reasons and to share with friends, and even go so far as to tell people I'm afraid I might offend what it is I've done.
If there were an issue? What then? I might end up drawing less than I do... which is rarely at all unless inspiration strikes for something.
... I guess time will tell on such matters. Sometimes I feel the people on deviantART that start to go "COMMENT BEFORE FAV" and are "COPYRIGHT NO TOUCHY" are becoming a bit touchy themselves...

That above comment is possibly enough to get half the readers mad at me. And then THAT comment just now is probably enough to provoke another half... T-T

Well, I can see not having people read this, as I have neglected to read other journals.

However... today this person is 22 now. Very happy to be here. TwT

Hello peoples.

Well, the new year and a month has rolled on by... still same old same old really.

I've got a new computer now though. I've gone and installed drivers and have some "necessities" installed on here. *cough*games*cough*
I also lobotomized my older computer for the CD-RW/DVD drive. However... this means I don't have my hard drive of all my things...


Anyway... it's rather nice. Hopefully since the fan is blowing out what seems to be rather cool air... I can have my previous hard drive set next to the new one... thus have a place to archive my Trillian talk, and deviantART stuff. :3 Yesh...

Work is going good too. It's a bit slow because it's no longer the holidays... but I've got plenty to do, considering I've got the blue wooden pallets to switch out with the black plastic ones. They are awesome. ^w^

I woke up this afternoon, as I work over night... to find out that a friend of mine whom I worked with at my first job had passed away.
One of my other good friends that works at the same place, who will now be working there every night, tried to stop by the house but I wasn't around... he didn't want me to come into the restaurant and find out, or just call on the phone. It's too soon to really sort things out.

So... I've cried. T-T
I... went there and saw they set up a little... place... at one of the tables. Table 3 more specific.
I stayed a bit and met with someone I hadn't seen in a while that worked there, some waiter that I first met and... remembering him... he kind of made me upset once with a comment, but I'm sure we're there for the same reason.
I went to the store and bought a candle for him... I hope that a purple lilac candle urn thing is ok. The one waiter that is going to be working now said that it wouldn't matter because it was from me.

I lit the candle and came home...

The service / party I heard is on the weekend... I hope to at least stop by real quick, so that I was there for him I guess.

*sigh*
When I was told first thing waking up, I knew who it was... but... then again I also thought I couldn't remember. I kept thinking it was the one waiter... and... I was right.

Yeah... I hate having "those days", but something like this I wouldn't expect, anytime...

It started at dinner I guess... maybe it was earlier when I took my morning time to drive Mom back home from taking her car into the shop. Maybe it was after comments of never having my car back the same way as when she used it... arm rest down, CD playing... parking break up all the way.

During dinner, my sister and I got laughing pretty hard... we both tried to stop when Mom asked us to be quiet.
What an opportunity for the TV stupid show thingy to talk of someone winning "the stupid award", which got me into a giggling fit when Mom said "fine, you're both grounded... you, off cell phone, you, off the computer."

I was shocked about just the word "grounded". But... my computer as the punishment came next. Then... cell phone? WTF!!
*sigh*
So... after dinner, I came up, told the person I was in the middle of a conversation with before dinner that I was grounded. Bloop off the chat goes... tell computer to shut down, and it doesn't take its time as it usually does... thanks a whole lot. >_>

I sat there for a moment... I got up, brushed my teeth, got my boots on, got all my things together, and went to work about three hours earlier than I usually do.

Mom is right to say I was pissed... mostly because she says we were talking, when even my stepdad who was watching this rubbish said they made a comment of "stupid award".
Stupid show...

Work. Uneventful. As per usual. I love work but... yeah, not much to talk about...

So, now here I am... the "night" is technically over that I was grounded... the message I sent to a friend whose name I shall not give out because I view them as a friend... but don't want people mad...
Well, I had asked about the style they do whiskers. I love it to death... and... I was asking about using the style because personally that is how I view whiskers as sort of being done...
Said no.

That... is fine with me. I couldn't think of a solution because... really, I would have just gone with doing that style in a picture that I just took off because I realized the style I have drawn in is too close to their style... and I respect them enough to just... not do that.
Er... let me try that again.
A picture I have been working on the past couple of days due to a person I recently met by lurking on a forum who just gave me such a wealth of inspiration... my mind flowing... I made a picture and I just now realized the style reminds me too much of this other friend's. So... it's gone now. I know a few people have seen it... but... I'm keeping the space empty of the picture until like... either the next reply in a message... or just forever, because I don't want to be seen as a once-friend that has blatantly copied their style out of pure disrespect.

But... god... this whole period of time I view as one day has absolutely sucked. Not just the stuff happening... but of resulting thoughts on possible deeper reasons of all the happenings... yeah... I am too paranoid for my own good.
