SPECIAL THANKS


What can I say that I haven't said before? You've always been a great friend and when we finaly met in England that friendship only grew. Without any doubt I can call you my best friend, cause that's what you are. You've always been there for me and I really appreciate you letting me stay at your place when I was in England. Much thanks to you and your parents for that. I'll gladly repay that offer when you come to visit Belgium. Had the best time in England, don't you ever change! *manly stuff goes here*


Lim oh boy oh boy. You've ARE a great friend of mine as well, altough we don't talk as much as we should. You're just one of the reasons why England was my best time. You're an awesome and funny man, a very very funny man, with a funny face. We shall meet again this year count on it!


Fearny! You're quite an amazing someone as well. You're by far one of the smartest and nicest people I've met. Many thanks for helping me and just being there when necessary and for creating The Orange Ark. It was a pleasure meeting you in England and sorry once more for missing our train!


Megsy! It's been tons of fun meeting you these past months from wearing your jacket to eating chocolate and having some awesomely good hot chocolate in that cafe in Leuven. DESPITE ALL THAT RAIN OR SUNDAY OR VERY COLD WEATHER. But at least I finaly got you waffles so mission complete!


My fellow dutchman. You've put up with quite some complaining and nagging by me but you listened and I appreciate that a lot. Another person I can call a good friend and we've already had some good times during those conventions and meet ups with megs. ALTOUGH YOU CAN BE A WEIRD GUY TOO OK! Looking forward to the RBF concert with you =D


Despite us not talking anymore I'd be an ass not saying anything about you. The time I was with you was great and I still have no regrets. I learned a lot during our time together and learned even more after we broke up. Would have been nice if we could stay friends, but things are better the way they are now though. It was quite something looking back at it all now... but yeah, I hope you have a good life.


We like barely talk, mostly my fault for not coming on skype a lot anymore, but I just want you to know that I think you're an awesome guy ok! I actually wanted to buy you something for christmas but instead i'm going to get you something for your birthday, so if I ask a subtle question about your adress a few weeks before your birthday go with it. ALSO WE NEED TO PLAY LEFT 4 DEAD AGAIN SOMETIME!


You might be suprised that you're in here seeing how we don't actually talk besides a few comments on sheezy here and there, but I just want you to know that you got a special spot in my list, you just seem like a very kind and lovable person. And it goes without saying that I really like your music, it relaxes me quite a bit so keep that up, if you bring out a cd I'll be one of the first to buy it!


Like Yiang the only way we've talked to each other is trough some comments, but I wanted to mention you here because you are pretty much one of the few people who takes the time to comment on my artwork and give some proper critique with it which is very nice of you and I appreciate so very much, you have no idea.

Lee, Bogs, AQ, Kenny, Leondra, Shiro, Cherie, Vertigo, Dill, Mar

Ok It's a bit hard typing stuff for everything, especially for you guys since I hardly talk to any of you anymore. I miss you all, but it's just so hard keeping up with everyone, especially overseas, while trying to keep up with a social life and work over here, so I hope you understand that. The reason I'm not on skype much anymore is because I'm really not a big fan of larger convo's as I usually feel ignored and I prefer typing over talking unless it's while playing a game. Either way I want you guys to know I love each and everyone of you and I still hope to meet you guys one day

If I forgot anyone I'm really sorry, doesn't mean I don't love you (well maybe it does) but that I either forgot or we just don't talk enough.

With that a BIG thank you to all the people who have watched or fav'd something. I wish all of you a happy New Year and may the best of 2008 be the worst for you in 2009!

See you next year!

awww Jin! you are really thoughtful I'm pretty much like that on skype too, don't really like talking in big convos and feeling ignored too so I don't go on it all the time (except sundays when I talk to my big sis at Wales). I get inspired every time I look at your art and how much you've improved

well! here is looking at 2009! I do hope someday we will meet each other and it would be totally awesome if you were to visit California! I would drive you around the city and oh so much fun haha ;D we should chat up too! love to know about ya you know

SHiDa Says:

Ah furgeddabout the train, it gave me a comic to draw to sum up the most memorable part of the day, and I laugh so much looking back at it, especially the phone call.

You've said far too many nice things about me in such a short space!

It was awesome meeting you Jin, and introducing you to many british foods; flapjacks, fish and chips, om nom nom.
