The pyramid quotes are.... bad/funny. They get so huge and cluttered.

Confession: When people are sad around me, I can feel strongly and empathize with them, but can have a hard time knowing the correct thing to say to make things better. So, I may be quite awkward. It's easier if I'm close to someone, and I can just comfort them with a hug. 
I hope things get better for you Funya.

In my opinion? No. I mean don't get me wrong, it's great, but it's definitely not as great as everyone makes it out to be. In my opinion it's less the act of sex itself, and more the feeling of being connected to someone on that level that is enjoyable. But everyone has different preferences I suppose. Some people are total sex addicts, others could care less. Personally, I could probably go without having sex again for the rest of my life and be okay with it, though that's just how I feel at the moment and it could easily change as I grow older.

I felt the same about myself until 1.5 years ago. Then I decided "screw this, I probably can draw, I just wasn't taught correctly". So I read some stuff on the internet and found that, in fact, I wasn't taught correctly. The internet told me that the thing I was doing wrong was basically that I was trying to draw whole things (synthesizing it with my left brain), rather than using my right brain and breaking down things into all the individual lines/shapes and their relative proportions. I got a pencil and some paper, and after about half an hour had done a halfway decent job of copying the basic lines of some other drawing. It wasn't hard at all to go from "practically incapable of drawing stick figures" to "capable of making a recognizable freehand copy of a line drawing".
Read this: http://design.tutsplus.com/articles/whats-your-excuse-why-cant-you-draw--vector-18414. The problem for me was the one described in the section "If My Hands Are OK, Why Don't My Drawings Resemble Anything Real?". I expect this is the case for some very high percentage of people who think they can't draw, probably including you. After you get past whatever is blocking you, sure, there's still a lot of learning to do before you'll be really good - but that's up to you. Unless you have some pretty serious physical impairment, it's just not true that you "can't draw"; you choose not to learn.

Personally I think voice acting ends up a luxury most projects can't afford - especially since the lack of the player having an interpretation of their voice themselves could end up taking something away instead.  Poor voice acting is a weakness where no voice acting is not, and thus the only option becomes to question if you have the budget for high-quality voices and then only going for it if thus.  The demand for high-quality voice actors can be considered quite high, but it takes a lot of practice from the actors' end themselves to reach this goal, so it's difficult to make a role unless you have at least some experience.
I'd say it's like writing in one area - the ability to craft a comprehensible sentence does not mean one is capable of crafting the language of the story in a way that evokes emotion.  Similarly, the ability to speak in a coherent fashion does not necessarily imply that the actor can evoke the necessary level of emotion, both in accuracy and consistency with the tone of the story and the raw emotional power itself, that is necessary to make voice acting a benefit rather than something loathed.
To those looking to get into it - best of luck to you.  Don't expect it to be easy, but if you manage to pull through I'll be looking forward to what you can deliver, for better or for worse.

I'd assume it'd be good to get to writing, then.

I had a similar problem, a long time ago.  It's a problem that comes up on various VNs that has to do with the save folder being broken when made on a different computer, since the downloads usually come with the save folders pre-made.
 
I don't know the exact specificities of the problem, but one solution is to delete the save folder then re-open the game.  It should re-make the folder automatically.  Be sure you move your main save outside the folder when you delete it though, because any saves inside of it will probably be lost.
 
I'm unsure if it'll end up retaining completed CGs, but once the save folder is re-made it should fix the issue.  You might end up having to re-play it from the start depending on how it turns out.  I haven't done much testing with the problem on my part.

Confession: I decided to come back a little earlier than planned. Turns out taking a break from Fuwa hasn't given me what I hoped it would. Considering how the number of people irl I can relate with, I started feeling a little bit lonely. I have managed to reconnect with a few people on FB, but they're mostly gamers that I met online. So I'm just about doing the same thing there as I was here, but with even fewer people. My irl friends have either moved away or won't respond to my messages. Kinda blows.
So yep, I'm back! I have at least made a little bit of progress, in that I have a few job applications in and I'm starting to sleep a little better. Turns out it's actually a lot easier to sleep when you wake up before sunrise. I started drinking decaf sleeping coffee too (it works really well). But in spite of all my efforts to de-stress myself, I still can't seem to get it together. My psychologist decided that I need to start getting therapy treatment for my depression and anxiety issues, so hopefully that helps to get things going along.
I feel at home coming back here. It just felt like something was missing from my life and I couldn't feel right no matter what I tried. That said, it does feel a little awkward not having Gravity Green, but I'm sure I'll get over that... Maybe. Either way, it's good to be back.
Just in time to wish Flutterz a happy birthday too! Holy crap, has it really been a year already? I remember doing this for your last one. o.o

Confession: Just had the closest thing I'll have to a birthday party which consisted of my parents inviting their middle-aged friends and celebrating. On the bright side, since they don't really know what "the kids are into these days" I mostly got money as presents \  / Oh, and the cake was great～

Earlier today I lazily stretched out my legs before getting out of bed. I pulled a calf muscle in the process. WTF. I told Tay I pulled the muscle while stretching, he complimented me for at least doing stretches. I didn't have the willpower to correct him. Yes, Tay, I AM awesome!

I...don't think that's happened in a while for me ><;;
 
That said, good luck with writing stuff!  Hopefully Cursed Sight is doing well

What's wrong with you, man.

I don't play smite or any other MOBA game but that video was actually really funny in spanish xD

:(

Confession: The past few days have been pretty terrible, hopefully today doesn't suck quite as much

Confession: I made my extremely Catholic and conservative cousins unknowingly reference South Park years ago by calling a cat that hung around their house Mr. Kitty, with the exact same pronunciation as Cartman.  The name stuck, and every time I visited them I got to enjoy hearing a South Park reference uttered by people that probably thought that the show was literally evil.

You do yoga?

I may try when I have the time and feel like it.  It does sound like it could be fun to draw~
I'll post it on here if I end up doing it. 

I don't like to call my girlfriend a thing, as that feels like objectification.
She is the reason I don't lose my mind. xD

Confession: Completely relapsed into my old "Above all, do no homework" self. 
Realized that my dream of getting in a top tier university is more than likely to never happen. MIT and shit accept only like 5 people max each from this country, I don't believe that I can be that good. Funny thing. Expected to get into something top level all my life, so now it feels weird to sincerely consider stuff that's less. 
Almost 2 am and I've spent the last 2.5 or so hours browsing Reddit. 
Currently trying to balance my expectations from myself(bringing it down reasonably from Yale, MIT, etc.)  and what I'm doing to bring myself up(currently an absolute bunch of fucking NOTHING except getting into a few new clubs) to said expectations. My counselor also told me that I'm putting too much pressure on myself, which drives me away from working (this is closely related to the fact that, as stated, I wouldn't consider myself completely happy if I ever failed to be successful in education). 
Kind of ironic (and tragic) that even though I want to major in physics/astrophysics/computer science/ computer engineering (I never see quantum physics majors so) I don't like math much.
I find myself more interested in abstract concepts than any sort of measurement or calculation. (e.g. instead of orbital calculations I'd rather try to devise methods to develop artificial intelligence or try to get quantum computing working as a future career)
I'm going to be a sore disappointment for all that know me. I feel like I've started to loathe myself. 
Escapism feels beautiful.

or the unluckiest~

Oh, great Rains!  Teach us the way to cease in the absolute screwing-up!  For lewdness and emotional satisfaction!
