Mrar. Please dun try adding me as a buddy if you've never talked to me. Implicit in the definition of "buddy" is the idea that you actually know aformentioned buddy; otherwise they are a stranger. If you'd like to get to know me, by all means chat with me. I'm bored to death most of the time. But don't just request to be my buddy. I'm not trying to be internet-popular and have a ton of "buddies" I never talk to.

Cassandra's Deep Thought-Of-The-Moment
Assume that no one will ever see what you create. Assume that if they do see it they won't care, won't like it, won't remember it hours or days later. Assume it will never bring you success: it won't bring you money, fame, acclaim, respect. Assume everyone will think it is worthless. Assume it is worthless. Assume it is worse the worthless and could get you arrested, jailed, killed. Assume all of these things, and if you still find yourself sketching, painting, writing, singing, dancing, if images still play on the backs of eyelids and in the corners of your mind, if words and ideas still float endlessly through your skull, if you still find yourself bursting into song -- then you know that you are an artist, a writer, a musician. And then you can live at peace knowing that you do what you do because you must, because it calls to you, because it is who you are.
