		<description>Sucks to hear about Assassin&#039;s Creed and stuff.  I&#039;ll have to let my B.I.L. know about it, he&#039;s big on games like that.  Seems like all the big companies are getting into stuff like that these days and while I understand aspects of it, it just seems like it ruins the games in the long run.  Or at least makes them more of a headache than they have to be.</description>

		<description>Oh, good. I was actually about to e-mail you with a a friendly &#039;you better be alive.&#039;

I&#039;m sorry about your friend...I hope things are getting better for her. But you&#039;d be surprised at what one night can do for somebody in the long run.</description>

		<description>And I&#039;m a total idiot and didn&#039;t read the above carefully.  I hope whatever situation that&#039;s come up isn&#039;t too bad and gets resolved quickly for you.  Good luck and best wishes.</description>

		<description>Hey, have you been boycotting Y!M to finish the story?  If you have, that&#039;s totally cool, I just wondered. ^^

I look forward to seeing the finished result.  Man, I should get on my own writing. &gt;.&gt;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a terribly sobering article, but I think more people should read it.  Honestly, as horrible as this is for America and many people living here, I think that ultimately, the recession and the lingering effects of it might be a good thing.  We&#039;re being forced to step back, re-evaluate at our standard of living is, what we really need.  For those unemployed, it&#039;s terrible, especially if they have families that depend on them, but it could also be an opportunity.

I think this could be a great wake-up call on the way America has done and continues to do business, as well as the relationship between employers and employees.  Maybe we&#039;ll finally start to look at these systems critically to see just who is benefiting from them most and realize the inequality that has been eating at the system for years.

I&#039;m depressed of course, as I&#039;m one of those young adults coming out of the college and looking around for a job that likely isn&#039;t there.  I&#039;m not really sure what I&#039;m going to do, because I&#039;m quite literally a &quot;dime-a-dozen&quot; major and I&#039;m not really sure I have what it takes to stand out in the crowd.  But I&#039;ll persevere and continue on.

I&#039;m not going to be beaten down.  I&#039;ll find a way and find joy in doing it.</description>

		<description>When you first mentioned the series to me, I was kind of curious.  Now that you&#039;ve outlined a bit more and now that I&#039;ve got the good starting points, I really do think I&#039;ll have to look into it.  I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve ever been a big superhero reader, but if the story&#039;s good, I&#039;m not one to argue.  Besides, I really liked Watchmen and I get the feeling that if I liked that, I&#039;ll probably like this.

Thanks for the rec.  

Sadness, the link no longer seems to be working. ;_;</description>

		<description>The finished art really is quite beautiful.  I&#039;m glad that you kept me up on the progress of it.  She&#039;s a very talented artist.  I&#039;m really excited to see the next picture in the series.</description>

		<description>Oh, jolly good~

Yes...yes I am. My work hours fluctuate between 15~20 a week, depending on if somebody takes a day off or not or if the kid I tutor is late. I&#039;m also taking 15 units (or 19; anatomy = class of death). ...Glad to know that&#039;ll make things look better on the resume though! :D

Oki-doki then... :3</description>
