| A facebook friend just posted a meme stating that people who don't vote for the candidate she likes, including people who don't vote at all, are actually voting for the candidate she doesn't like. This seems to be a commonplace argument these days. She even commented on it, “It's the truth!” So how ... |

| ^ Yes, I feel better talking about this as well. I'm not sure if it comes across, but I was much more agitated when I wrote the OP than I was when I wrote the later replies. In my online art communities, I've run across some visual artists who collaborate, but I'm not sure exactly how they do it. Th... |

| As far as the builder saying "I don't want to worry you," is he possibly just trying to cover all his bases? Maybe he wants to tell you in case it turns out to be something, but he also wants to be covered in case it turns out to be nothing? |

| I'm extremely skeptical of actual psychic abilities. However, when I was younger, people would constantly tell me they could "see things coming" when I wasn't paying attention, because I was focused on something else. "Your ice cream is about to drip!" "You're about to put y... |

| Here are a couple pictures I recently finished. This one is from my superhero universe. Identity the bloodhound superheroine visits her friend and civilian ally, Prof. Jackson Press, (a rabbit.) I don't know what he's reading to her out of that unicorn book, but apparently it's very interesting. In ... |

| I'm kind of funny about these things. I'm more likely to panic about minor things than major global events. I remember back in 2011, someone left pamphlets around the store where I work that said, "For more information about the end of the world, please dial [800 number.]" :lol: I have a f... |

| I've talked about some of this on here before, but it was a long time ago, so hopefully nobody minds. Artwork is my special interest. I enjoy the creative side of it. The technical side has always been extremely difficult for me. I work mainly on digital media because it's more editable. I spend hou... |

| ... So after an intense day, it is very natural for an introvert to seek some form of peace and quiet. For some it is reading a book, or playing video games. In your case it is drawing. It is your way of recharging your batteries. Work is my main source of socialization and physical activity outsid... |

Thanks . I hadn't heard that term before. Looking it up, some of it does sound like what I experience, especially the time management. Time often seems to move very fast to me. |

I'm only able to get a significant amount of artwork done on my days off. I don't know how to reverse the energy of my anxiety. I have tried to use my experienc... |
