I've had such a huge intake of Fav's in my inbox that I'm beginning to really lag in thanking people. X'D The number's become so daunting that I just keep telling myself, "uhhh i'll thank them later >A>" looolz phail.

I know a lot of artists have begun to stop the whole "THANK YOU FOR THE FAV!!!" deal but ... I don't know, I feel like I must. Not only does it express my gratitude (whether the person is a loyal watcher (ugaiz) or just someone who regularly fav-&-runs) but it also lets me get a glimpse of the person's gallery. If I want people to view my gallery and appreciate my work, then I should do the same for others, yes? And I feel that personally going to one's page allows me to do that. I get to say, "thanks for the fav, your gallery is gorgeous!" and may fav some of their stuff as well. And it's not ONLY about the fav-er's artwork!

You know how subscribed members tend to feature other people's artwork in their journals? I think that if anyone has a Favorite box displayed on their page then they're featuring artwork too!! It may not be as specified at times but if someone else's artwork is being displayed on your page then, honey, you be a'featurin'!! ;B The pageviews that you get may lead to another's artwork getting viewed. So when I go over to thank someone for faving, I get to see the other works that they've faved by other Artists. And I may fav and check out their gallery too. And sometimes i end up clicking other icons/usernames too, just for the hell of it (i.e. "wow, who's ~bickbong?! that username is so cute! *click*" or "wow, has an adorable icon!! *click*"). It's a simple ripple effect, really. Hell, I even like visiting my visitor's pages too!! And i mean the ones that visit without leaving a comment or a fav. XD i don't take offense, i just get curious.

All of this can also lead to making dA connections. If not for the simple, "you're welcome!" people may reply with a conversational starter, and then a cordial level of acquaintanceship may be established... then a casual relationship can build up from there! Not to say that this is my main goal in thanking overs for faves/etc., but this does tend to happen every so often. >w>

...So, uhh, thsi section of my journal turned out much longer than I had planned. >A> I ramble way too much. Lolz i just have no one to rant to, save for the wall. >XD



Oh my God. So... I've been a stamp maniac lately. It's terrible. ;_; I have a Stamp section in my faves now and it's already 3 pages long.... >_>; And If i don't find a stamp that is to my liking then i end up making one of my own. I know i've only posted the Sailor Moon stamp here but if you observe the gallery of my other account, you will see that my latest submissions have been stamps. >___>;;; /fail.

I've already put in a few stamps in my journal but that is only a fraction of what I've faved. I've been wanting to sort them out into categories and such so that they can be more organized if i ever do get to put them in my journal ... but i never do it. T_T;; I don't know where to start, is why. X'D /more fail.

I have a feeling that I will need a scroll bar for my stamps if i ever do get it all straightened out ... Aaahhh well~ /most fail.


Soooo...
I want my mood box to be displayed but this skin doesn't allow it. I don't know how or where to find the code that let's it appear at the bottom. ;_; Help pleeease?!!
