Mrs. Bright Side

At least when I look back on moments like this, when I'm 95 years old and my sunshine's running a little dim, I will at least get a chuckle out of this whole scenerio.

Why would I want to talk to a man who's basically made a fool out of me?
No, no, I can't think like that: the only one human being who can make me feel like a fool, is ME...and I certainly don't feel like one :) There, I feel much better, haha.

From this day forward, I will take these things as learning experiences, and will no longer worry about these annoying feelings I have...No matter how "real" they appear to be.

Just to brighten your day, here's another free digital scrapbooking download, to start you weekend off in the most exciting way.....FREELY!!! ^__^

Web Store & General Lonliness...

I just love this blog and I've been debating whether or not I need two sites. I've been working on my web site for some time and it's going to host the new web store for Ruby Dragon Graphics! The new web store launches on September 1st, 2010!

I'm going to keep this blog for all my personal and inspirational ramblings.

To start, I'd like to point out just how career oriented it seems my life is...I really love doing what I do; designing, making video games, setting up web sites, making 3D models...I love art in general, but I'm so lonely! lol It sounds so totally lame to say, but it's true...It appears that everything is running so smoothly, in terms of getting an education, I'm continuously growing as an artist, and I feel so content when I'm doing something creative.

At the end of the day, I'm lonely. L-O-N-E-L-Y. Lonely. (Worst spelling bee moment in history). I have my friends, they're the most wonderful people in the universe: I'm ready to meet the man who's going to continue to inspire me and light my heart on fire for the rest of my life.

...Unfortunatly, I realize that I may only be able to go down one road at a time. (There's a part of me that's hoping I've got handsome young instructors at the college XD LOL)

I'm at a point in my life where:
- I like who I am
- My goals are solidly in place
- I stand fiercely behind my morals
- I know what I want
- Even when I do not know the path, I have confidence in my ability to get there, no matter what
- I'm tired of feeling incomplete

...Then again, I know that I'm the only person in the world who will ever be able to help me feel completion...My heart is with me, for sure - I really care about me and I'm genuinely ready to give all that I have to that special someone.

...Instead of just cats, for a change.

.:Self Discovery:.

It's incredible that we can go through life "enjoying" what we're doing, not really thinking anything more of it. Last night, I was on the laptop for a short while, getting excited about my newest creative project: making an RPG game. Well it's been fun learning with the program, but I just can't help but think that - as much fun as it is making games with RPG Maker VX - in the end, all the games look the same!

I went forth and started playing around with one storyline that's kept my attention over the past 5 or 6 years. The original game I created was more map-based - where you're playing as the "main character," and you're constantly navigating through [the star ship you work for], solving puzzles, learning gossip & new information and solving situations...not to mention, winning the affections of one of the eligible bachelors within the crew!

As I continued playing around in RPG Maker VX, it occured to me: Even though this game generator was designed to make and to play games that look like the old sprite based types...why not add my own spin to things?! Why not reconfigure the look and feel of an RPG Maker VX game?! Yes, I've become incredibly inspired. Today, I will put this masterful plan into action!

I've always been big on creating things and I've always had a soft spot for inventions - for creating tools and new innovative ways to recreate something that's all ready beautiful, into becoming something even more wonderous! Today, I will change the look of RPG Maker VX games forever. :)

*Disclaimer*
I am in no way, shape or form, flaming the old style sprite video games. Some of my very favorite games are in this style, including:
- Chrono Trigger
- Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap
- Secret of Mana
- any Super Mario Bros. game, from 1, 2 & 3 to Super Mario World
I am only trying to get across this one simple thought, by my post: I enjoy revamping ideas - taking beautiful ideas and turning them into new beautiful ideas!
