... holds so many memories for me.
And I've thought about you guys on various occasions, but never really sat down and pursued the idea of posting here.
To those of you who remember the weird person formerly known as Leoness: Hi guys! I hope you are all doing well <3
To those of you who's got no clue: Hi! Nice to meet you. ^_^
Not nearly as weird as I used to be. A lot of years and a lot of experience has passed through the cerebrum, and I look back on this forum as one of the milestones in my life for many reasons.
Y'all remember Cookie?
Yeah... she's getting dangerously close to them teenage years and I'm bracing myself, like a first-time rider in the roller coaster you were not even close to being mentally prepared for.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right? Right?! xD
Other than that, I work and study as a draftsman, making 3D drawings and blueprints for a company that produces valves for the shipping industry. I'm aiming to work for a company that designs parts for air- or space crafts, robots or vehicles.
On the side I'm still keeping tabs on my art, occasionally. But mostly it's 3D these days, because I have a 3D printer that I like to make things on.
Cookie is a big Pokémon fan, and I already printed quite a few 'mahns for her xD
So yeah. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing and letting you know that the other guild 'mum' is still alive. Though, I imagine most of my 'kids' in here have left the nest a long time ago xD
Still miss the good old days now and then...
Thank you for being the place that had a huge impact on my life. <3
PS. How does one gain access to your Discord server? :3

;_; Leeooooooo. Oh my gosh, it is so good to see you again. I have thought about you so much (especially since I no longer keep tabs on Facebook at all) and it is lovely to hear from you.
I remember Cookie when she was a wee bab. It's hard to believe that she will be hitting the double digits soon. I'm sure she will be fine as a teenager, though you never know. Kids are unpredictable like that.
Your job sounds so cool, oh my gosh. And 3D printing, whoa! That's incredible! You must show us some works sometime.
As for Discord, I will be happy to send you a link. It will only last 24 hours but if you miss it, I can happily send you another one.

Yes, I would love the invite link  And sure! I made this cake topper (and the cake):  And yeah, I'm sure she will be fine. I think I did a pretty good job at raising her. She's a very kind and compassionate kid. Stubborn and strong-willed, but very easy to be around. She plays the violin and she is dreaming about becoming an astronaut one day How have you been, Celes? <3 |

LEOOO (Or do you prefer another name now?)
It's great to see you around again! I mean, I've seen you on Facebook, but I don't use Facebook that much, lol. Crazy to hear that Cookie is almost a teenager; time really flies.
And yeah, you're totally welcome to join the Discord! That's where I spend most of my time now, haha.

Though Rilah has become my nickname, even in real life (a name that some might remember as the name of my alter ego that I created in this very forum a looooooooooooong time ago xD ) So either is fine! Good to see you too, PFA! Are you still doing art and animations and stuff? And yeah, I figured you guys must've made a Discord. I have most of my online social connections on DC ^_^ |

I should start giving my DeviantArt some love again... |

RilahFalco Oh my goodness, that cake topper and cake look phenomenal! I don't know what I love more: the multi-tiered superheroes or the adorable, inclusive topper. One thing is for sure: you've not lost your touch one bit. Aww, Cookie. Reminds me of myself at her age when I would walk to and from school with my nose in a book. She sounds like a great kid. <3 You've done a fine job with her. Me, I've been...a lot has changed. I graduated, was unemployed for a bit, found a job, got laid off but got enough from that to go back to univesity. I am now working on a Masters in Museums and Galleries. My first exhibition opens in just over a week! I am excited: it's looking fantastic.

Leeeoooo! <3
It's great to see you around again, I've missed you!
Wow, Cookie is almost a teen? What is time??
What's her favourite Pokemon? X3
Ooooh 3D printer skillz? I'm jelly. I wish you luck in securing that job designing robots and spaceships! It sounds awesome. 8D
For personal art projects do you turn your own characters and stuff into 3D objects? Either way, printing Pokemons and stuff is exactly the perfect use of a 3D printer, I approve. I'd love to see what you've made, if you do decide to pop 'em up on DA!
EDIT: (Now that my internet has allowed the image to load) That cake is awesome. Would totally eat.

Ahhhhhh, hi Leo!! <3 It's so great to hear from you!! Glad you seem to be doing well, persevering, and continuing to be your awesome creative self! (That cake looks amazing! =D)
Oh, wow, Cookie is so big these days! It's hard to believe how time has flown! She sounds like an awesome kid, not that I expected anything else. ^^ The teenage years sound intimidating, but I know you'll rise to the challenge and keep doing a great job as a mom!
I hope we see each other around Discord and get to chat a bit more. I've always said that once an NTWFer, always an NTWFer, and it's really exciting when someone I remember as being such a heart of the community pops back in! <3

Hi Leo! I'm not sure if we ever met, I think I just saw some of your old posts scattered around the place. But it's very nice to meet you now!
And that cake is stunning oh my gosh. So creative, I love!

Hey Leo!! Great to see you again <3
It's wild that Cookie is almost a teen and could potentially join the forum.. that thought boggles my mind, since I was, what, 14 when we talked the most? Echoing Killix's statement... what is time.
So glad you're doing well <3 <3 Missed ya.
