Secret Santa 2012 Wishlist Time!

"I've put this off for far too long..." - Bilbo Baggins, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Anyway, since I'm a part of the next Secret Santa here on TheO, courtesy of alphonse13 and MangaKid, I figure it is as good a time as any (before the deadline) to post a wishlist!

Here are some of series and characters you can draw!

-Anime
One Piece
---(Big time One Piece fan, so any character'll work. Except any of the Celestial Dragons. They can go stuff themselves with dynamite.)
Aria: the Animation
---President Aria, Alicia Florence (<3)
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
---Ryohei, Reborn, Verde
Porco Rosso
Ponyo
Spirited Away

-Video Games
Kid Icarus: Uprising
---(Absolutely love everything about this game, so any character would be amazing.)
Pokemon
---Cacturne, Jolteon, Swampert, Yanmega, Honchkrow, Kyurem, Scrafty, Porygon-Z, Feraligatr
Professor Layton
---Layton
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
---Gumshoe, Ema Skye, Godot, Viola Cadaverini, THE JUDGE
The Legend of Zelda series
---Captain Linebeck, Zelda (Skyward Sword), Gorons in general

-Other
My OC, Captain
---I like it when other people draw Captain, so if you want, you can stick him in a scene with one of your OCs. Heck, pairing him with something from higher up on the list would be cool to see as well. For his personality, he's usually brash, ambivalent, and obsessed with eating crabs. A one-track mind seeking food and willing to fight for it. xD
Velociraptors
---Love these things. The ones from Jurassic Park, not the little turkeys that scientists love to talk about.

Also, my favorite colors are orange, yellow, and green.

Thank you, my Santa! I look forward to admiring your work!

I'm so disconnected from this world .__.;

Walking through the basement hall at my college this morning, I was the only one without a cellphone in hand.
--Walking to the shuttle stop after my class this afternoon, 5 or so people passed me will cellphones in hand.
----At the shuttle stop I was the only one without a cellphone in hand.
------I don't even need to tell you what happened when we all got on the shuttle.

Everybody at my college is just afraid of contact with the people next to them.

It's always been around me, but it just now hit me how bloody weird I must be to society for not getting swallowed up by the texting age. People would much rather seal themselves up in a bubble of indifference and ignore everything around them. =(

A little surprise for you all

Because I feel like it, here's a picture of me!

That's at some retreat center I was at for a luncheon thingy. Cool gardens to walk through there!

But yeah, just thought I'd show you the man behind the storm. ^^

EDIT: To clarify, NO, there is no creepy face hiding in the bushes. None. Don't bother looking for one because you won't find it.

Finally got a job!

With the submission of my hiring packet today, I am now officially a Japanese tutor at my college! Good times all around! It took a while to finalize because I forgot to bring my birth certificate for them to scan for my records. ><;

A job that's something I love... the recipe for success! Here's hoping this leads to even better things!
