it's still surreal

noellenoYou would think these praises I get would reinforce my self-esteem a bit more...concretely.
I finally got the guts to call Marnie from Portfolios.com, and I was relieved to hear it wasn't a sales pitch. She was quite pleasant, and it seemed she actually did go out of her way to just talk to me.
She told me that my work was unique ("It's like manga, except you've reinvented it your way"), and that I should look into modifying my bio to include the sorts of things I am capable to do at the time. Naturally, offering the hellishly expensive portfolio upgrades, but she said I should wait until I am sure I have the time and the stability to do the work. Don't sell art credits, etc.
I gave her my cell phone number, and she said she'd probably call in a few months to see how things are going. That was cool. I will have to think about this stuff.I need to actually believe this first, I guess.
My loan is definitely going to get me to register, and I am going to get up super early and book my ass in Storyboarding and Flash. Everything else shall be secondary. Web Graphics, because you need that as a prerequisite for the web design. And I need to learn to make webpages that don't look like Tripod sites. ):
