Unsatisfactory.

[secondlina]

I'm having this strange feeling.

So many of you on my friend list are great friends. A few years ago, I didn't believe I could feel so close to people that are so far. Yet, here I am, adoring a whole lot of you.

Right now, a few of you are going thru rough patches, bad breakups, artistic questioning, monetary problems... And I just discovered the biggest frustration I have ever felt in my life. For a lot of you, I feel like I can't be there. I wish I owned a jet so I could fly to be by your sides and hug you and tell you everything will be okay. But I can't. This frustration even expands to my "real-life" friends and family. Since I moved to a new city, they are now far. This makes me feel limited. And silly. At least I have friends and this area, and i'm able to be there for most of you, if only in spirit. But I never though not being able to run to someone's side on a white horse, ready to save the day, would be so frustrating.

I guess I've got a big "knight (princess?) in shining armor complex or something. But I still wish I owned a teleporting machine. Or a tardis. Then I could lend you guys a shoulder to lean on in real life.

We could also have massive parties. Of awesome. That change location every week.

Since i'm daydreaming, I also want a pony.

*hugs all of you*

Annnnnddd some birthday art! This is for youichiban_victory . It's going to be your new website banner once it's colored! I know I showed you for your birthday, but I liked it so much ,I wanted everyone to see it too. It's Relina, your super awesome elf-paladin with her mount.

lsflslhsldshdlslssfldh That is so cute. 0_0

And I'm totally on the same boat as you. D:

*huggle*

*huggles back*

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I totally understand what you feel. The internet is wonderful for meeting new people, but it's also horrible, because those people are so far away ;.;

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Right? ;.;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It does limit the party potential.

[paynesgrey.livejournal.com]

Such a cute drawing.

Yeah, I always want to be closer to my internet friends in proximity, but it's less than possible. I'm just grateful we have the internet so that we can all be this close. :3

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's really a communication tool for me. I love you internet...

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

I just want to eat poutine with you *wibble*

If you ever come here I want to take you to a handmade noodle restaurant my friends introduced me awhile back. It takes some time with the noodle but it's worth it. They also have the awesomest Kopi Tarik (which tastes like ice cap but only costs $1 and twice the size)

[kit-a-licious.livejournal.com]

Oooh, seconded on the poutine thing. Something so deliciously evil needs to come to Hawaii.

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

Yeah especially the poutine at La Banquise :D

If I ever go your neck of the woods I want to eat the indigenous food there. Salmon Lomi-lomi I think...Discovery did a documentary on them a while back and Hawaiian food sounds delicious!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Man, i'd trade for fresh fruits though.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Sweet. Cultural exchanges fueled by FOOD. I aproove.

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Agreed, I totally wish portal guns were real so we can visit each other weekly. Think of the awesome parities we could have. We all want to go and comfort when someone we love is in pain. However, I find that just being there and willing to listen is one of the greatest things you can do. I realize it's not the same and being able to give a real life hug, but it's still good. *glomps*

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Not to mention portal gun shenanigans would just be hilarious!

"My butt is visiting you!"
"What? HEY! Stop that!"
"BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"

[saltintheoven.livejournal.com]

You're a sweet girl. <3

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

aw, thanks!

[bonemarch.livejournal.com]

Oh that's an amazing drawing! Must keep writing. :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Always a good idea.

[psychosongtress.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who really gets in to talking to people on LJ. Sometimes I realize I'm worried about someone who posted something sad while I'm at work and wish that I could teleport to where they are and give them a big hug. (Not in a creepy way) I really start thinking about everyone as a friend. Its fun but sometimes sad. I'm glad that you really enjoy everyone and don't just talk to people for comments. (I know people who do that, they tell me that if you don't talk to people, you won't get any comments or reviews. I think that is silly, whats the point of talking to people if you don't genuinely want their opinion.)

I love your picture! What an amazing birthday present! I bet Ichiban is going to LOOOVE IT~

(Gives a hug) Im glad to be your friend!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to be your friend too!

I like to think that i'm pretty honest and genuine. I make friends because I want to TALK to them. I think people who just use the internet as a soapbox or a popularity meter are really just wasting time.

[psychosongtress.livejournal.com]

Lol I'm glad your the way you are! I get really excited when you message me! Lol what is a soap box?

I am really excited to show you my line art when it's finished!

[chameleon9999.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I wish you and everyone could get out of their rough patches.

It seems I'm not doing too bad over here. All of my issues are localized at work and related to rampant technical difficulties.


That pic is so cute!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Same here, i'm mostly in a bad work situation. But hey, at least life evolves and changes, so everybody gets better. Eventually.

[gullwhacker.livejournal.com]

I like the TARDIS plan.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

My tardis would be pink.

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

I'm just thankful the internet does exist. I can remember back to a time when it did not, and the only friends one had were those who did live nearby. Growing up in a military area as I did, I made many friends, only to lose them once their parents' two year time was up. Having people faraway without any way of keeping in contact is far worse than being far away.

That said, trains, planes and automobiles are wonderful inventions, thought I wish I could just borrow Thorvir from Relina and visit places that way. ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Could he fly over an ocean? Seems a bit long for the poor beast!

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

Considering the world he came from was a giant island in the middle of an ocean, it never really came up. I would have to be nerdy and check out endurance for a gryphon in flight with a passenger, but really no animal can fly an entire ocean without breaks. No doubt you'd want to go along a part of the ocean that had a chain of islands. ;)

[akogarezephyr.livejournal.com]

Adorable pictures. D'aww. <3

As for not being able to be there for distant loved ones I can certainly comprehend. But that doesn't mean you aren't able to inform them that you care. Telling others your genuine thoughts can be a lot more helpful than we seem to realize sometimes. c;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

That's really a nice thing to say! Thank you!

[kit-a-licious.livejournal.com]

You are so friggin' awesome, girl. Honestly. The fact that you have so much love and you give it out with everything you say and think makes a huge difference. Sure, you can't show up and have a massive sleepover with all your pals at once -- which would still be amazing -- but the fact that you send good vibes out means they get to the people you send them to.

You got a great big squashy heart, madam, and I love it. What you do is infinitely important and appreciated.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Aw, you're so sweet! Your heart is also very large and a great, comfortable place to be :D I adore it!

So I just found this on wiki, And I thought you of all the people I know, would like to know the most. :)

On April 27, 2010, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg told The Hollywood Reporter that they were planning a How to Train Your Dragon 2; DreamWorks is targeting a release date of the sequel sometime in the summer of 2013.

On October 11, 2010, it was announced the voice cast—Baruchel, Ferguson, Ferrera, Hill, Mintz-Plasse, Miller, and Wiig would return for the sequel.

A third installment was announced on December 3, 2010.

On October 12, 2010, it was announced that Cartoon Network had acquired worldwide broadcast rights to a weekly animated series based on the movie, scheduled to begin sometime in 2012.

A live tour show is also in the planning stages.

Wow, Eh? I was completely flabbergasted. Do you think they'll actually follow through with all of the plans?

Re: HTTYD

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info! I already read these a while back. They are quite serious, the second movie is currently being made.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

*snuggles you tight!* XD I know that feeling of wanting to help your friends but feeling impotent to do so because they are so far away.

Love your birthday work to awesome! And the chibi version underneath is super cute! =D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's a weird feeling. But at elast it shows that people care!

It was squishy enough to deserve a cute and cuddly version!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

D'awwwww!!! Well, we find you pretty awesome too! And we would have epic parties if we all got together!!!

{{{HUGS}}}

I like this; Relina looks like an interesting character.
