Who was the guy who told you this, anyways? I mean, did you look at his page and find an artist of extremely high calibre or was it just some guy who wasn't all that great at art himself? While a comment coming from either is bound to make you bound, the effect of how hard it hit you might be affected by who was saying it, I guess? Either way, don't let a douche bag get to you. He's probably just desperate to sound intelligent in that area cause he's got nothing else going for him.
I scribble every day. Multiple times. When I'm trying to wake up at school and when my brain is melting from schoolwork and in my bed when I'm trying to sleep so I can just draw instead of being left alone with my thoughts. But, err, you scribble at parties, you say? Aaah I couldn't imagine drawing at parties D: D: D: I don't know what it is, I have public drawing anxiety or something. No one can see what I draw in real life ever You should've seen me at this one crowded art class, my hands were shaking real bad and I was so nervous and I ended up just acting like a total idiot and orz orz orz I don't even get that nervous before exams arghh BUT ANYWAYS. If your at a party, doesn't that mean that you get a lot of people coming up to you and asking you about what you're drawing? Maybe you could try sketching at a cafe or something! And draw whatever feels right for you, buddy. I totally hear you on not liking to draw buildings though. Especially pictures of cities, that stuff is just death. You've got to put in all those perspective lines too. Buildings just require too much ruler-action, which sucks, because half the time I can't even draw straight lines with rulers anyways. They always end up diagonal :(
I'm still not convinced on how not-deathly-hard pretty poetry (or prose poetry) can be. It is an area that will forever be a mystery to me.
New source material is always a beautiful thing, since it comes so scarcely. I'm of the mind that I don't really care about getting new characters as much as I do getting strips about character that haven't been featured yet. Despite this, I will admit that Australia's character design was pretty over-due. I mean, it's Australia! No place quite like Australia. Well, maybe New Zealand, but I'm sure some of them would resent me saying that. Also, this never really occurred to me before, but I have met a surprising amount of people who went to live in Australia for a little while. It's almost as if it's the number one study-abroad spot here (I don't think I could handre it, though. Too hot. Also: deadly animals).
Yeah. There's always the chance you might be vague about what's going on and we'd have no idea as to how bad it is with you, though :(
I don't get not taking university classes seriously either. I mean, even if someone else was paying for you, whether it's parents or scholarships, it's still worth thousands of dollars. I couldn't even imagine flunking out of university either. Maybe it's because I always sort of knew I'd be going to university? Truth be told, I pretty much spent my childhood assuming that most people went to university. As for showing appreciation towards teachers, ah, well, the whole speaking up in class bit might be hard cause we don't really have classes in the traditional sense, but at least I bother them fairly often? I enjoy asking them things unrelated to the course more than I do looking them up, at least. They tend to get very. . . excited. One of them, depending on what you ask, sometimes has to end up standing and just practically jumping everywhere when he explains stuff, it's so precious :')
Please tell me that at the very least, you aren't falling asleep at four in the afternoon? One in the morning I can understand, but otherwise I think that's maybe a sign that you should get more of a little something-something, yeah? /motherly tone.
Ah, so you wouldn't leave fandom then? Listen, as the Hetalia fandom lets out a relieved sigh.
Jesus, 60,000 words? That's more than NaNo requires you do! Then you say you have more than that. Would you be bummed if you happened to all of it?

Re: Your comment of 21158 characters exceeds the maximum character length of 4300.
