My head hurts. My head hurts, my nose is stuffed, and my throat doesn't feel so great either. Could be I'm sick, could be I'm sleep deprived. Could be both. Anyway you slice it the pie's still rotten. I've also been going back and forth out of a funk, I was coming out of it yesterday and now today I have plummeted back down. I just . . .

I really hate being this way.

Oh yeah, I'm not dead, and I'm starting something different for art this semester. It's an individual art workshop which is to say I make a contract with the teacher to have so much work done every time I check in which will likely be once every two weeks or so. I hope to focus it on drawing people, maybe in a comic book style. We'll see, I'll keep people posted.

Well, somewhere I have a benefactor, and to that person I say thank you. It's rather odd to get on DA and discover you suddenly have a paid account. So to whoever gave it to me, thanks :>

Welllllll . . .

I've been tagged. In so far as I can figure this means I must reveal 20 things that were previously unknown about me, or at least oddities of some kind that not many people knew. So . . . lesse here . . .

1. I've never, not even once, not even so much Canada or Mexico, left this country. I haven't even been to Hawaii or Alaska.

2. For a long time I wanted to be a paleontologist.

3. I can't stand preppies, yuppies, or any other idiot who's trend locked and feels somehow entitled to think themselves better than others, or just to be general assholes.

4. I still keep stuffed animals.

5. Many people think they know me or how I feel about certain issues, very few actually do.

6. I once drank more than 24 cans of Dr.Pepper in one day.

7. I sometimes dream of being a popular folk singer, making good money with plenty of nice fans, but sub-culture enough to avoid paparazzi. Oh also, no touring, I wanna stay in one place and be rich ;>

8. My off and on dream (currently on) of my teenage and adult life is to be a Professor of History.

9. I was once in an ACapella group called InToneNation in High School.

10. Though I claim to be an avid fantasy lover, I am not nearly as well read as most of my friends of the same vein, and what I do know of authors like Pratchett or Lackey is pretty much all second hand.

11. I have been a Dungeon Master for a Dungeons and Dragons class run under the auspices of the Takoma Park Recreation Department, for almost 5 years now. That's right, in Takoma Park we've been accepted :>

12. I try to be a very kind and considerate person, partially because in the past I had some patience issues.

13. I believe few people consider me in their close circle of friends. In the past my friends have often prioritized some other friendship above the one they had with me, and I have usually been left alone.

14. The most terrifying fear I know of having is that of being left alone in a place where there are people, but none that I know.

15. Despite whatever appearances I put out, I'm always afraid of being rejected, and am usually somewhat hurt when people avoid me.

16. I have wanted to be an Anime voice actor ever since discovering the profession in High School.

17. I am of the belief that I've found the love who I will spend the rest of my life with. I am also quite certain that she's the sexiest/most beautiful girl in the world, and am still not quite certain I'm in her league

18. I love Children's films, full of animated characters and heros winning out over badguys. Hayao Miyazaki is my favorite director, and Castle in the Sky one of my most favorite films. I hate anything, story or movie, which is considered better because it's "more realistic". In so far as I've seen this usually just means more depressing. Give me escapist things any day.

19. I someday want to visit places like the Forbidden City in China and just visit Japan in general. I want to take my lovely lady to see all the beautiful places we've seen in pictures and dreams, I want to take a transcontinental train trip, and I really want to go to Disneyworld again.

20. I have written over 40 songs since I began in the summer of my 14th year, and will probably keep doing so, though never professionally I imagine.


And I too will tag Photoninja, and that's all I can think of to tag ;>

I need to update again, draw something, color it, and just update it, because the stagnation is starting to bug me. I mean it's true I've been dealing with school, enjoying my B-day, and just generally haven't had time for drawing, but still!

Yeah it's finally sunny out again. I'm glad to see a little sunshine, I enjoy gray days but eventually they get old. The weather's chilling out and I'll have to move the heater back in soon but that's no biggie.

Oh in case anyone was wondering, I AM IN LOVE! Yeah, I know you weren't wondering, I just like saying that! Life is beautiful in that respect because she is such a beautiful girl.

So spare a thought for her, she could use one. I'll try to provide some kind of update soon. Talk to you later.

Oh, P.S. Check out Endling's EverAfter, it's a very good comic with fantastic art. It's only 15 pages long so far, and I'm already on the edge of my seat.

So . . . this is what it is to be a Deviant eh? Hmmm . . . alright, not bad. . . submission is a little too complex in my opinion but whatever, it works for them and that's cool. It's good to be here though, the art is quite happy to have been released from the drawing book, with any luck there'll be more in days to come.

My hygeine has improved . . . alot. And there is one person to blame . . . and I'm fairly sure she'll take a bow for her evil deeds! Well OK, so they're not evil except according to the slothful persona in my mind, but anyways.
