On the subject of Growly

I never thought it would cause so much drama to defend somebody I don't even like that much. But I really don't care. Here's my whole stance, right out in public, because I know there are a lot of people who don't like her. I could write up a huge essay about why I'm pretty sure I know Growly well enough to say something about her, even though we're not friends. But I won't. That's immaterial. The simple fact is this:

I've said she's honest. End of story.

You don't believe me, well... that's your problem, and not mine. I would rather live in a world where sometimes I am shocked at the bad behavior of people I liked, than live in a world where I never trust anybody because somebody could hurt me. I would rather live in a world where people can give sincere apologies and get second chances. I would rather occasionally fall for BS than never trust anybody. I would even rather sometimes get stung than never trust anybody I've ever heard something bad about. There's a whole room full of convention goers in the Rocky Mountain area that heard something bad about me. I'd sure hope that most of them would be willing to give me a chance anyhow. So I'd rather give folks a chance myself, even if I do sometimes get hurt.

But you know what? I have a pretty finely honed BS meter, and I'm not seeing any here. I still say Growly is kind of a b*****, but so am I. Rudeness and dishonesty are not the same thing. So if you want to bash on her for being rude, go ahead. But if you're going to imply that she's some kind of conniving backstabber, I'm going to take that as a personal insult, because I've vouched for her honesty. So if you must, do it where I won't see it, because I'm going to be ticked off by it.

Thanks everybody!

Okay, maybe everybody isn't a goober. I feel a little better. Still kind of stressed over work, but when am I not? I shall manage to get everything done one way or another. Now... shall I try and sell Loonakits on furbid again? Or finish up some more tails? Decisions, decisions. In any case, I have a plush to make, and a head to start furring, so my day is busybusy, as usual. And I may fit a little more Diablo in there somewhere too.

WTF spam!

I'm getting spam in my Deviant art notes. And I mean of the Nigerian scam/penis enlargement/free ringtones sort. Spam spam, not actual people spamming me. Can I block senders? If so, how? Deviant has just about the least intuitive interface it's ever been my displeasure to try and use.

OMG!

OMGOMGOMG! It's done! OMG! *bounce* I can't believe it, it's done, and it is stunning!
