Don't walk away. I was in that situation once. What I did was treat her like a normal but special friend and if there was the chance to flirt, then I'd take it. But I tried not to treat it like a relationship yet so I tried not to care as much. So I did what I wanted and was happy. So if you want to buy the Wii U, then get that Wii U! And get Bayonetta 2.So I like this girl right, but I know she doesn't feel the same way. (Although at times she says and does stuff that makes me wonder) I would be smart to walk away and drop it. But my logic doesn't feel, like my spandex dressed heart does... I could tell her how I feel but that won't change anything, that will probably make things awkward. (Walk away SRS, walk away and buy that Wii U, do it!)
That's all I got.
Why not just put it under you while you sleep?Dad isn't going to stop looking at my diary and I didn't get a birthday card from my Uncle and Auntie... *sigh* I'm too tired to rant... I'm running out of hiding places and it was obvious she was going to turn into a b*tch that hated his family (it's something that I've seen coming since the day he introduced us to her). *sarcasm* Goodnight Vienna

I think it's just in my head but he sounds like a politician.
That's not a problem, nor should it concern you.Something's been bugging me for quite some time now. I'm not usually the one to brag about it but, I am a pretty badass artist. From creating a mascot for a local business to even selling tattoo designs to shops and of course working on just tons of random art pieces and comics, I can hold my own when it comes to drawing. However, I am also sometimes the textbook definition of a starving artist to be honest.
Besides working a part time job and other odd jobs I sometimes sell my stuff on the side for a tiny bit of extra profit. It still is a long a grueling process though especially when you're trying to save up to move out and get a lease on an apartment and you also have to basically get stuff you need because no one else really helps you with it.
I do all this and then I see a friend of mine who is also a great artist no doubt about it but, he ask for money all the time from people to the point where I just don't think it's right.
He doesn't live on his own and has never worked a day in his life. He draws anthromorphic animals all day every day basically for people who he charges $50 a sketch for. Like dude, I don't want to sound rude but I can draw things better than you and I don't even charge more than $20 for a piece depending on what it is. Hell, I do a lot of drawings for people just because I want to for free and granted this has come back to bite me when I could have used the extra cash but, I feel good enough in knowing people enjoy my art.
This guy on the other hand asked for donations all the time. Whether it's to get premium deviantart accounts renewed or to buy himself a new webcam or clothes. He turns to people who keep throwing their money at them for a drawing of a furry I've seen others quite frankly do better.
I just can't bring myself to ask for that kind of money from people just because I want a new shirt or a couple of movies. I wouldn't feel right. And the effed up part about it all is that I swear he NEVER spends any of his own money on this stuff.
I can understand asking for donations to continue providing work for your fans but, if you're buying personal items don't go to these people like they are your own personal piggy banks. That ain't cool man. Yet, it's still an enigma because they are basically getting ripped off and blindly give it to him. Yea, he's not a bad guy and can be a good friend but, that just ain't right man. At least to me.
I struggle every day trying to save up funds to b more financially stable yet this guy does nothing but draw and be lazy and he's totally fine. *sigh* Am I jealous? Maybe but, it's my personal morals that's keeping me from doing that to the people who enjoy my artwork. I couldn't ask for someone to break their wallet taking advantage of the fact they need someone to sometimes do some art for them.
It's art, payment enough to me anyway can be a pat on the back and a simple good job. I would only feel regret if I over charged for a piece of artwork just because I knew I can.
Sure, I need to start really cracking down on my savings and get the lease done but, I just can't bring myself to make something I enjoy doing and sharing a cheap tactic to earn a quick buck.
1)That prospect terrifies me.
#3 is so f*cked up and it sounds terrifying.
Also, there is nothing wrong with making a job out of your hobby.Something's been bugging me for quite some time now. I'm not usually the one to brag about it but, I am a pretty badass artist.

I know just a part of me wants to kind of call him out on this stuff he does because I'd only ask for donations if it was me working on a project I needed help finishing. Not just because I want to have extra money to go pick up that cool shirt I saw at the mall or something.
That's a decision you have to make for yourself.
