In the beginning the Universe was created.This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Please consider the whole 'world' thing a demonstration of my nerdom. I've been a part of theOtaku since 2003. Sporadic posting of various pictures and art projects is the name of the game, and I play it fairly well. Basic info is in order I suppose. My favorite animes are Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin, and Gundom Wing to name but a few. I'm a big music fan; I play both electric and acoustic guitar (Jack and SophiA respectively). I listen to rock mostly and my favorite bands include Blindside, Incubus, Muse, and Chevelle. I'm a huge book nerd too, I've read a lot of crappy sci fi books, but I love the classics. My favorite authors are probably Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Tolkien. So there's a small chunk. We'll see how this whole shibang goes.
Well, goodness! It has been far too long. How are we feeling today? I've been keeping pretty busy with school, life, etc. It seemed like a long time since I've signed on so I thought I'd take moment and say my hellos:
well, it's pretty obvious that it's been a while. i've been working (suckfest) and getting ready for school (woot!) and doing a crap-load of nothing (huzzah!), so my summer's been pretty alright, I'd say.
I have a confession. My interest in anime had waned somewhat of late. It's tough when they stop showing the classics on tv and i can't afford to just buy the ones i like. and it's pretty obvious that i haven't drawn any anime in a milenium too. I was thinking of packing up and leaving.
But then the heavens opened and on a single shining ray of light from heaven descended Princess Mononoke like the hand of God saying, "hold up!"
Yeah, I watched the magnificent Hayo Miyazaki film this past weekend. It had been a long time since I last witnessed it's glory and I had strayed from the path. I know the error of my ways and will not stray again. Thank you Mr. Miyazaki.
Just thought I should share ^_^
by-the-by, for some reason i can't get youtube videos to show up on posts. I use Firefox rather than Explorer so I'm wondering if that has an affect. Suggestions?
I'm upset. I've been trying to upload some of my art projects these past few days and there have been a few very unexpected hurtles. They are as follows:
1: Posting only one work per day. I always update this shibang in a series of short bursts. I don't have the time or ambition to come here every day to post my artwork. I'm sorry but that just isn't happening. I've been trying to put up series of my projects but it kind of defeats the purpose of putting up series if you can't see them together. That, my friends, is lunacy.
2: Minimum sizes for pictures. What the hell?! Look, I'm sorry that my stuff has a tendency to run on the smaller size, but really! The vast majority of my stuff is just a little under the minimum size requirement and if I size them up at all they get all blurry and look noticeably crappier than before. Don't get me wrong, I can understand that they don't want little tiny one inch doodles but the minimum is too big!
Look, I'm upset. I had just decided that I would try to catalog all the art I've done and I thought this would be an appropriate place to do it. Apparently I was wrong. Fine, whatever. I'll just go ahead and put my crap directly on the page. I need to go stew in my own anger now.
God is merciful because senior year is winding down. Whoever said that Christmas was the most wonderful time of the year was sorely mistaken. I'm excited for the possibility of never taking an 8 am class ever again. We've had late starts all this week and the whole concept is really starting to grow on me.
Things are winding down and I'm chilling out. I know where I'm going next year, my grades don't really matter any more. It took a long time but I'm finally starting to mellow out in my senior state. C'est magnifique. I just have a few placement tests to worry about and that's it. Now, the sun is shining and I don't need to wear a jacket outside anymore. Things are looking up.
