I Love You Guys ^_^  This is for you!
I Love You Guys ^_^ This is for you! by @tarysand (Taryn Sanders)

Oh Where to start, where to start... Man, I was just... completely... blown away by all your wonderful, sweet, incredible, supportive, and uplifting comments on my last picture :) I don't know how to begin thanking you all. I never thought I could have so many great people who would take the time to try to make me feel better ^-^ I want all of you to know just how much it meant to me, and thanks to all of you I'm feeling a thousand times happier ^^ I logged on last night planning on going through some much neglected e-mails (which I know a few of you are included in, and I'm very very sorry if you've written me and not gotten a relpy yet --), and I really didn't expect to find many comments on that picture, maybe just a few from some close friends of mine. I was shocked to find just how many comments I got! (Especially since it wasn't even an Invader ZIM related pic lol ^^) I had so many, some from friends, some from strangers, but all supportive and so incredibly sweet and full o' good stuff ^^ A lot of you offered me advice, kind words, compliments, and a few of you offered to draw me something to make me feel better (and a few already did! ^^), and I got a surprising amount of cookies lol (thanks, they were all yummy, by the way). I was so touched by everyone's concern. I'm sorry I went and got all angsty and depressed on everyone and if I made any of my friends worry, but I'm feeling a lot better now just from reading all those wonderful comments ^^ I sat and read every one, and of course ended up in tears again (heh, you know me ^~^;;), but it was because I couldn't believe how many awesome people there are out there who'd care that much about me, even if they didn't know me personally. And even though a lot of you have your own problems, you STILL took the time to try and ease mine. I simply do not deserve people like you ^_^ ~sniff~ Aw man, I think I'm gonna cry again :)
I'm feeling better now I think, and a lot of that is due to all of you ^-^ Some days I still hate my job, but my mom (who is a lot cooler than I gave her credit for, and I'm sorry about that) insisted I take my last paycheck and blow it on a shopping spree to make myself feel better, so that was kinda nice ^^ I gots me a nifty Matrix coat from HotTopic whee! ^^ And some spiffy glasses. And I guess it's not too horribly bad to be working. At least I get some money, and I'm gonna try to get a better job since they're hiring for X-mas soon. And even though most of my stuff got deleted, everything I had (fics, pictures, what-not) was mostly saved to disks or on Side 7 or FF.Net. And now thanks to Tez (who I cannot even BEGIN to show my gratitude to), I should be getting Photoshop 7 soon, so I can start working on pictures and requests again. As you can see, I still have MS Paint, so I just wanted to do a little something as an excuse to say thanks to all those who commented on my last pic. You all keep me going, and I can't tell you how much it means to me that you all like my artwork so much and that you really think I can make it into the professionals someday. Everytime I doubt myself, you're all there to make me feel, in a word, special, like my dumb little fanart and doodles and made-up characters really are something to be proud of, and I couldn't be more honored to recieve all your support and nice comments constantly on all my pictures ^-^ Man, this is sappy, eh? LOL ^^ But I mean every word of it, and I'd like to hug each and every one of you til yer brain meats leek out, but since I can't, I'll just leave that to GIR here ^^ I could go all night, just thanking the hell out of everyone, but I'm sure there are bandwidth limits on this site lol So I want to say thank you sosososososoSO much to everyone and you guys are all just so incredibly awesome ^^ Thank you all for caring, you peeps ROCK!!!!!

For what it is worth... I don't know if you saw this, or even if it would be taken the way I'd meant it to be taken, but I figured I'd post a link to a picture I did, triggered by your previous picture.

http://www.side7.com/cgi-bin/S7SDB/DisplayImg.pl?INO=197661

Rest assured, it is not meant in a negative way. Quite the opposite. For one, I didn't feel I knew you well enough to be able to help in any way other than hollow-sounding "Sorry hope it gets better for you etc. etc."-- which I'm not dismissing, as I did indeed feel a desire to help. I just didn't feel an I'm-Sorry was going to cut it. I'm funny like that.

But I will say this... for gawds sake, think about this. Your art is posted and viewed in awe by/for Zimfans on messageboards Net-wide, usually on a two-or-three-a-week basis in most circles. Jhonen and some other staffers on the show have said to me when I'd met them that there was never a design made for Tallest Miyuki, yet many people are considering your version as canon nonetheless. You are considered A GOD by many of these people.

....I suppose my point is, don't underestimate yourself.

I don't mind waiting however long it may take, for my request-- hell, it can be months, or a year, for all I care. But NEVER EVER EVER think that your art is so bad that no one would care about it.

[her stern glare fades] Ehh... sorry about how this seems so much like a lecture. I don't get mad often, but one of my tip-top pet peeves is hearing fantastically gifted people say their work isn't worth anything, or worse, that THEY aren't. I've heard this from FAR too many gorgeously-talented artists here on S7. I finally snapped when I found one of the most famous in the community was thinking similarly.

In conclusion.... aw, heck, I've no more to say, esides: Glad to hear you're back, good day to you, and good morrows.

That's the spirit mate. :) You're a fab fellow artist, and I know it can be so hard, and I wish you the best of luck in whatever your heart takes you in the industry. You'll get where you want to be you just wait ^^. And the pic is so kayoot!. ^^ Judging by the amount of replies you got from everyone, Gir's gonna have a field day. Teehee! (hugbiesqueeze.)

Posted: Friday, 30 August, 2002 @ 04:35 AM

This comment is about nothing. This is so, because nothing I could say could express how relieved I am that you're feeling better.

XDD HUGZ!!!

I'm glad you feel better. My life still sux, but I get through it. See? You do have things that are good in your life when you think about it. Always look for good things, everyone has at least some!

Posted: Friday, 30 August, 2002 @ 06:01 PM

^_^ Aww... anything for you, Spec.

is glomped by Gir Uwaa!

Posted: Friday, 30 August, 2002 @ 08:40 PM

Ok, Taryn! I have some instructions for you...

  1. Open your arms like if you stand up you look like a "T".
  2. Put your right arm around your shoulder.
  3. Put your left over your stomach.
  4. Squeeze!!!!

^^ That, my friend, was a hug from me! Its good to know you are feeling better. I'm really glad about that. Another thing, I wish I could go on a shopping spree at hot topic...too bad I only have a little money :( Oh well, its awesome that you got to. ^^ So you got a trench coat, eh? Awesome.

Um..... What else? The picture is awesome! I love it! So cute, even with the limitation of MS Paint. Good job, as always, and its nice that you are better. That made me a little happier, knowing that you are.

I want to draw a picture for you, but I don't know what...I have seen many that were done, but I want to do...something...something...special. I don't know...perhaps you have a request? ^_^ I'd be happy to do it, if you have one.

Posted: Friday, 30 August, 2002 @ 08:48 PM

Yeah, whoo, Spec's happy! That makes us all happy, wee! (Okay, so that was lame and overdone, but it's true!) If you're really in a fix take some time off and get your real life straightened out first and foremost.

Mwar, GIR is cool; you are too, man.

Posted: Saturday, 31 August, 2002 @ 01:13 PM

YAAAA!!! You're feeling better! I'm so happy that you're happy (does that make since?) I think I'm gonna go make up a totally cool cheer just for you with lots of flips and cartwheels and cool moves (better get Becca to help me LOL) And then when I finally get to see you I'm gonna preform it for you in my G.I.R. suit and then give you a big hug!!! Untill then here's a rose @-}-^- lol! A smil is contagious and just seeing the cute smil on G.I.R.'s face made me know you're ahppy so I'm happy. ~Qin P.s. I let Dib out from under my bed l;ong enough to hear him say that he's happy that you're not sad no more!

Posted: Sunday, 01 September, 2002 @ 06:35 PM

Damnit! I wasn't able to get on Side 7 because my links to it from my favorite places weren't WORKING for several days- maybe weeks, too! >_< Anyway, I'm very glad that you're feeling better, Taryn. And I'm even more glad to help; I do my best to save as many people in the world that I can. ;) Keep up the hopes, sister!

Posted: Friday, 06 September, 2002 @ 08:32 PM

Alright, Taryn, you are officially the ONLY person who, while in the midst of writing a letter, my computer blows a circuit thusly erasing about three pages of condolences and advice, I don't know, and I still can't help but love <{<{<{<{}>}>}>}> so, because of my guilt that you never got my letter, and that you're already happy and I had nothing to do with it, I give you 1: A Cookie, since you seem to like them so much, and 2: a word of advice you may or may not have recieved already- my friend Maggamalopolis (er, Maggie) just send one of her comic strips to the guy who does the Foxtrot comicstrip. He has a little computer thingy to reply to any emails he recieves, and she was just expecting one of them but... miracle of miracles, he wrote back to her. Now, I'd never say, of course, that she's not a good artist, but has a less defined style than you do, and you have the incredible ability to adapt to almost any other style as well. THe moral of this story is: SEND you artwork to people, just for the hell of it. SOMEONE's gonna notice, and you just don't know; if anyone has the ability to accomplish the dream of an artist, no matter what type, it would be you. So, cut the cheesy crap, I thought you might wanna know that Jhnen's (he cut the O from his name btw) fav chara is Dib. Moms about to dissect me if I dun get off the computer, so, bubbies. hope I did a little uplifting. Laura Caprara

I'm glad you're feeling better. I may not know you personally, but I still look up to you and hope that my art can be even half as good as yours someday. Have a nice day, from all of us!
