okay this is kinda... creepy
i just got one of those password retrieval things at my email for 2 of my accounts....
one of the accounts, i haven't touched for over 3 years and never on this computer o_o;; and the accounts aren't related to each other in any way....
has this happened to anyone else? >.< i figured if it was a DA bug an email would've been sent for my main account too, but that didn't happen.... weird.


and now, anna wanted me to post my DA story of how i met all of you o_o; but that would take too long, so i'll just post a shorter version 8D (which is still really long lol)

well, when i was *looks at her archive account for reference* 13/14 i started getting really into anime... namely digimon XD i started a fan character and started drawing a lot more.

after watching "tenchi in tokyo" i suddenly got the idea of drawing my own comic... in anime style XD
i didn't know manga existed yet :0
and flying koi was born 8D

then, when i was 15, my mom finally got a good computer and the internet *_*
i drew a picture of washu from the tenchi series and submitted it to some random fan site

in 2002, i eventually found mediaminer.org and started posting my art there. luckily, this was before it became full of flaming troll, and the most common comment i got was "your art is cute!" which annoyed me to no end XD
but i drew like crazy, and i think that was the most art-productive year of my life

then, one day in 2003 when i was almost 16, i found a link to DeviantART in a mediaminer's biography :0
so i clicked it.
and i never went back to mm.org again XD

was my first DA friend... though she used a different name back then. i met her on mm.org
now we haven't talked in years XD; lol

my first DA watcher was and she moved accounts later and i never saw her again lol

i also got my friend into DA a year later i met her on a message board and we were good friends. she was dating another one of my message board friends online, and now they're happy living together in florida *o* awww <3 I INTRODUCED THEM! 8D

okay, then i started dating matt and made him join DA in 2004 too... followed by my friend , who i met in highschool.

i remember back then i hardly got any comments... i was always frustrated and sometimes felt depressed because nobody would comment or fav... and when they did comment they just told me my art was "cute" and nothing more ;o; sometimes, i worked for hours on a picture and did my best and someone just came along and said "cute!" -_-;; heh
and this might be why i enjoy giving comments to random people so much... when i have the time

there are alot of friends i made on DA in 2004 that i'm still friends with today ~654321 ~killuachan ~Revelation-Talc ~cgshadow7 ~Kunou *Wasil ~zero-metallix ~thesop *frankman and ~syaiz
and have probably been the most supportive of these first friends i still have ^.^ almost never failing to comment <3

i think it was in 2005 that i started watching ... for the first year he was just some random deviant to me XD; in fact, i often mixed him up with ~mishido, who i had started watching around the same time o_o;; (cuz of the similar names)
then, in the summer of 2006, we started talking a lot on msn and became pretty good friends.
this fall we had a big fight, mostly because of my real life stress >.<; but now we're getting along again.

i also started watching during that time. i thought of her as a cute kid and she became a pretty good friend X3
later, in early 2006, i saw 's manga on DA and we became good friends too i remember some of the conversations dark, mitsu and i have had on msn
that same month i met , who almost never fails to comment on my secret online journal... we give each other support and i'm happy to have her as a friend <3

i met anna in the fall of 2006.
she was mitsu's friend and since i was jealous, i decided to steal her from mitsu >:3 and then we became really good friends too XD the summer of 2007 was pretty fun since we were all friends and talked so much on msn together X3
but... things happened which might've partially been because of something i spurred on... and now anna and mitsu don't get along anymore >.<;

and i met soon after i met anna he's such a nice and sweet person X3 he's always understanding


ah... there are so many more people that i'm friends with here. but this journal is already way too long >.< i'm thankful for all the friendships i've made on DA, and already there are some new friends i've made this month that i really like (aka )

i don't know if i'll ever make super close friends with anybody online again after mitsu and i got into that big fight... because i realized that it's very difficult to have a close relationship with someone online. humans need each others physical company much more than i thought and i realized how pathetic and insecure i was acting... and i knew i'd never act like that if they were there in real life with me, instead of just online.



and so this ends my super long journal that hardly anybody will read all of 8D
i feel inspired to make some kind of list of all the friends i have on DA o_o;; lol
maybe i'll just show my friend box again under my journal
