You all expected or hoped that I left DA . . . but I didn't. Want to know why? If not . . . too bad, I'm not leaving just because of a sheer coincidence that was taken way overboard. Many of you are probably thinking to yourselves, "She's just saying that the situation was a coincidence just to get people to like her or to maki it seem that she didn't do anything wrong." Well, to that I say, "Believe what the feck you want!" I know what's true and I'm tired of trying to convince others who don't want to believe me what is and what isn't the truth. . . so, if you're one of those people who isn't going to believe me, no matter what, I say . . . you might as well stop reading this journal entry now!

In this journal entry, I'm just posting that I'm saying "Whatever!" to this whole ordeal. if Luna really thinks I stole Loupe's design for whatever reason, be it Cao's hair is similar or her outfit is similar . . . I say to her, "Whatever!" I had the idea for that outfit in my head for the longest time and was just waiting for the right character to put it on . . . if you really want to accuse me for art theft in this situation, you should do it over her hair . . . I got her hair reference from a book I have, and this I admit to and I admit that I didn't think it was important to give copyright to. As for Cao's ironic similarity to the title of the Wolf's Rain song . . . I laugh at that. Hahaha!!! I don't see how I can copy a song title when . . .
1) I said in Cao's description that her name was Portugese for wild dog . . . and unless Wolf's Rain is an anime from Portugal or Brazil *believes Brazil speaks Portugese* you have no way of accusing me.
2) [link] Under English-Portugese, type in wild, then start a new search and type in dog, see what you get . . . there's more proof that I didn't steal her name.
3) I've never seen Wolf's Rain when I created Cao. I only saw one episode (which wasn't even a whole episode). . . How in the blue hell am I supposed to know there was a song by that name?!?!
But if you still think I stole the name . . . again I say, *points to Journal title* and to those who just think I'm giving 'crocodile tears', I say *points to journal title*
That's not the end of Cao though, she's now an Inu-Yasha character, her outfit is definately going to change and she's going to have a small hair cut.

You know, for some people who used be friends (or who still are . . . I lurves you guys) . . . you sure didn't try to help me with the art theft problem, you just 'slapped my hand lightly and told me never do it again' . . . tell me when have you heard of a kid learning from that?! You just expected me to change not knowing anything about me . . . who knows? I might have a learning disability . . . I know I have ADD, but you don't know if I have a more serious disability than that, you just thought that I'll learn immediately just because I'm the oldest here. I must give some credit though, at least one person offered to help me, but never really backed up that offer. Okay, here goes the people that might say, "Now she's bringing up her personal life to make people feel sorry for her." To them I say, *points to title*.
I'm pretty sure you're getting the point of this journal entry by now, so I'll start ending it here.

I'm sure that many of you, except maybe three or four (I'm giving you thank you gifts . . . whoever you are @.@ *knows of one definately*) don't have me on your watch list anymore, but again whatever, I'm still going to watch your art, because no matter what, I still enjoy your work. I really enjoyed the time we were friends and I thank you for it. I'm still going to post here now and then, but not as much, I got a new account that I'm sharing with my friend who doesn't have a scanner or internet access at the time, so most of my new art is going to go there. If any of you want the account name so you can put it on your watch list, send me a note and I'll give it to you. With a few exceptions, most of the art on my to do list will also be posted to the new account.

Well, that's it, again thank you to those who I used to call friends and a very special thank you to those I still call friends. Thank you to those who read this and a big hearty "WHATEVER!" to the people who read this and are cynical *thinks that's the right word for it* about this entry. See you guys around perhaps.
