Welcome my little corner of the Otaku!

Thoughts and Impressions is where I record the wonderful adventure that is life

.
Here's my little bio :)
Animation has always been fascinating to me, I never quite grew out of cartoons. I actually like and watch American cartoons more than anime, but Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, any film made by Miyazaki, and Tekkon Kinkreet redeem the genre. As for manga, I only love and collect two series: Hana-Kimi and Rurouni Kenshin.
There are so many American cartoons I love! Family Guy, Venture Bros, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, Teen Titans, Invader Zim, X-Men Evolution, Tom and Jerry, and Robot Chicken.
Then there's the whole list of animated movies! Treasure Planet, Road to El Dorado, The Chipmunk Adventure, anything Don Bluth (especially Rockadoodle and Thumbelina), most classic Disney movies, The Iron Giant, The Paigemaster, Persepolis, The Incredibles, and so many others!
As for non-animation some favorite TV shows are: The Office, Scrubs, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Firefly, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Batman (1966 Adam West), Red Dwarf, The Red Green Show, and BBC Robin Hood.
Of course, there's movies too: Muppet Treasure Island, any version of Treasure Island ever, anything Jane Austen, Secondhand Lions, Death at a Funeral, Noises Off, Newsies, Singin in the Rain, Dr. Phibes, Stargate, Star Wars (ep.4-6), Psycho, and so much more.
My favorite Asain drama right now is Young Warriors of the Yang Clan

In case you were wondering, yes I do have a life outside of watching TV and movies. I am a sophomore in college and a theatre major. Some of my favorite plays are The Rehearsal, Titus Andronicus, August: Osage County, All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, The Producers, The Big Bang Theory, Doubt, and Proof. I find time for reading as well, and I love The Artemis Fowl Series, Treasure Island, anything Jane Austen, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, and Jekyll and Hyde.
When I am not reading, drawing, or being hypnotized by the TV, I am out gallivanting with my friends, spending time with my twin, antiquing/thrifting, doing homework, at rehearsal, going to the nearest Jane Austen Society meeting, being with my wonderful family, daydreaming, drinking green tea (which I love immensely), taking pictures, wasting my life away on the internet, playing arcade games, and traveling.
Random: My two favorite superheroes are Batman and Spiderman. Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Gambit are my favorite X-Men. Celebrity crushes are Hugh Jackman, J J Feild, Harry Lloyd, Fahrenheit members, Christian Bale and Sean Patrick Flanery. My favorite spoof is Yu Gi Oh: The Abridged Series.

Art Trades and Requests

....are miss/hit with me. It honestly depends on how busy I am. Please forgive me if I forget and PM me with reminders so I'll remember.
If you want a request, most anything from any of the lists above will do.

Alas Poor Yorrik! I knew him.... IN AMERICA!!!!

Spring Break!

So I'm officially on Spring Break! YeeHaw! I can't wait to do nothing! lol. Actually, I want to watch a lot of musicals online just to increase my inventory, also there's a book to work on, script to memorize, house to clean (because we're moving) and downloaded stuff to watch. Huzzah. I'm also working on a new manga idea, so hopefully that will come to life by the end of break and I'll be able to post pics and stuff.
Yup so I already went to go see Into the Woods, which was good, but very weird. I'll admit, it's not the best "fairy tale gone wrong" piece I've ever seen, but it was still pretty good. I loved the "Anguish" song sung by the two princes. That made me laugh. Still, I can't help but feel that somewhere in between the first and second acts the author broke up with someone or someone died and the author just decided "To hell with it! Everyone dies!!!!!". The thought made me laugh.
Yeah, so now I'll go work on that manga idea. I'll be in and out all week to check up on people.
Have fun otaku-ing!

ONE MORE WEEK!

Well, one more week until spring break! I can't wait! I'm going to try to get all of my work done ahead of time this week so I won't have anything to do but relax, and hopefully get art done in the week to come. ^_^. Speaking of art, I just posted a fan art of a siren. Check it out!
Yup, so this assistant stage manager thing has really got me busy. Not work wise, just time wise. I'm there from 6:30-10:00 every night with nothing really to do in between setting up the set and then breaking it down afterwards. However, on the upside, I really enjoy watching the musical. Plus, it's a lot of time to get HW and art done. The people I work with are awesome too. Theatre people are the best in the world. Never a dull moment lol.
Ah yes, our theatre is supposedly haunted. Though I have never encountered this ghost, and hopefully I never will, other people have "met" him. Or her...Personally, I think there might be two. A man ghost who lives in the actual theatre part and a woman who lives by our professors office. I think this because late at night people hear high heels walking down the hall and steps when no one is there. And the the main part of the theatre, lights turn off and whispering goes on, and people see "shadows". Yes, but I've never really seen or heard any of this. Ghost or no ghost, that theatre is still one of the creepiest places to be at night when no one is there, so I think it's just scared people seeing and hearing what they want to see and hear. How very logical sounding for a theatre major to say. It's not that I don't believe in the supernatural, I certainly do. I wouldn't be a Christian if I didn't ^_^. There are evil and good supernatural entities, this I know. But wether it's dead people or demons or something else, I can't say. It's just better to pray to God and have the confidence that nothing can harm me. However, they can sure freak me out! *brrrrrr* Man, I hate thinking about stuff like that. My imagination if definitely way too vivid for me to think about those kinds of things all the time. The best way to get my mind off it if concentrate on the good side of the spiritual world. How God has blessed me and the exciting places he's going to take me.
And that's pretty much all I have to say about that. Wow, long rant.
well, have fun otaku-ing!

Have fun Otaku-ing

because I forgot
Have fun otaku-ing!
please see my last post.
hee.

The Post That Goes Like This.

Hello all! Well the results of the Valentines Day contest came out, and even though I only got an honorable mention, I'm pretty darn happy about that. Though I do admit, it's always a little disappointing to put a good amount of effort into something and have no reward. But that's my selfish side talking, I guess. I didn't draw it to win money, after all. And it's not like it didn't get recognized, so over all, I'm pretty satisfied with how I did. And congrats mewmewlover55! You deserve it ^_^.
Yup so in other art news, My sis and I completed our brother's birthday poster! Huzzah for Avatar the Last Airbender! I'll be posting that either tonight or tomorrow. Also, I'm working on my contest entry for Oji Nezumi's contest. I'm having a lot of fun with it, though I'm pretty sure it won't win. But oh well, it's still fun to work with. I don't think I've drawn a fairy since my "autumn fairy" I drew like last year 0.o. Yup I also have a siren (like the mythical evil singing mermaids) in the works too. I'm done inking her.
As for fan manga, a subject that has not been talked about for far too long. hee. Weeellll, I desperately want to start one up again, but I have no time. And I have an idea for a few new mangas, but I can decide which one to go for. Maybe I should put up a vote or something on my fan manga world (which, in had it existed in real life, would have a nice collection of cobwebs by now). If you guys are up for a vote. But usually my contests and such don't turn out so hot due to a lack of interest. huzzah. so if I end up doing that, will you guys vote?
and I have to go now. I hope to go around and comment later. Hopefully I'll get around to it. But my life is rather hectic now, which is mostly due to me being assistant stage manager in our upcoming musical, Spitfire Grill. From about 6-9 I'm at practice. After that, I like to goof off with my friends. Plus I have a job in the theatre shop (where we construct and paint all of our sets/props also costumes), which I want to work more at, because it's fun. ^_^. So that's my life at the moment.

The Mad Life of an Actress.

Okay, so this is has been my life in the past week: I need to find two monologues for my Basic Movement class, a monologue and a song for an audition, write a paper, do the play twice on Friday, and other schoolwork. Plus I need to start looking for summer jobs and on top of that I'm getting sick. All I need to do is last tonight and until Sunday afternoon, then I can get as sick as I want. So long as I don't have to do a show wile I'm sniffling and have a sore throat. Well, at least I'm managing to relax and get some art done. I posted two new pics this week alone. yay! My sis and I are also working on a big pic for my little brother. We're giving it to him for his birthday. Last year was our Zelda pic, if some of you remember that one. This year it's Avatar: The Last Airbender. We watched the entire series and it was so much fun. ^_^
Yup so in other news...happy Valentines Day! Even though I'm single, I can spend today focusing on those I love as friends and family. Also, I have a legitimate excuse to eat chocolate lol. Yup, so my friend's mom took our little gang out for Thai food, which was AMAZING!!! And we got roses from the people at the restaurant, it was soo cute ^_^. We also found an Asian food mart right by the Thai place, which was a super exciting find. Now daifuku, pockey, and sushi ingredients are just a short drive away ^_^.
Yup so I have an entry in the Otaku's Valentines Day contest. Please go view it on hugkiss and vote for it, if possible. Maybe fav it, if that's how you do it.
I hope to check up on you guys.

have fun Otaku-ing!
