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!!!!

My Week at a Glance

Well, its the first time in a while that I've had to sit down and type out a post! My play is almost over, we just have tonight and tomorrow night, but we're all sold out ^-^. It's so much fun, it'll be bittersweet when it's over. On one hand, I'll actually have time again. On the other hand, I'll miss all my fellow cast members.
Anyway, this week is FALL BREAK!!!! So hopefully you'll be seeing more ICC pages up soon. I actually have like 2 of them done, but I want to have a lot to post in a row. It's annoying to have just one new page to read, no? So I'll let you know when I post those.
AAAnnnnddd speaking of posting, I just got a fan art up so please check it out ^-^. Yea, that one was a sort of on-the-fly pic, but it turned out good.
Okay, so I have letters to read and a meeting to go to. I'll try to check up on all of you later!
umm..heres a funny roflrazzi pic. roflrazzi is icanhascheezburger's sister site.

have fun otaku-ing!

That's How I Roll

Well, big news, I actually started ICC back up!!!! Yay, for those of you who may be new (though I'm pretty sure there aren't many of those who comment on my posts lol) ICC is my fan manga Iron Cross Contract. Yea...as for Moriko No Akakonami...maybe next semester lol. Anyway, Im super siked to be doing ICC! I already started the first two pages and I hope to have at least three pages done by monday. I'll try to do as many as I can tonight whilst I stay up late watching Family Guy (if I can find it).
So college is going great. I spend quite a bit of time in the theater but I really love it, so it's not bad. The only time I was rather bitter about play practice was last night when I MISSED THE OFFICE PREMIERE! AND JIM PROPOSED TO PAM!!!!! HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT?!? Yea, so I'll be watching that episode online very very very soon.
Oh, and for all of you who asked, my play is called "This Just Might be The Ride of You're Life". It's a pretty cool show, I can't wait. I only have like 5 line though, the rest of my scenes are in mime lol. Yup, I'm a mime, though a pretty inexperienced one (eh heh). Well, I'm working on that and I'll do my best. It's nice to only have 5 lines to memorize though. The play is really artsy fartsy so we have cool lights, marimabas, a saxaphone, elevated stages, and dance moves ^-^. So even though it's a bit *snap snap* poetry night at the coffee house *snap snap*, the art of it and the awesome writing of the previous students really makes it a show worth seeing.
Yup so we read Hamlet in my dramatic lit class and I decided to draw Ophelia's Ghost. I was laughing to myself while reading the actual play because I kept thinking, "Alas, poor Yorrik, I knew him...IN AMERICA!" and "Poor King Hamlet didn't stand a GHOST of a chance!" lol. Yu Gi Oh Abridged gets me every time ^-^.
Well, I have to get going to practice
here's a theater-related icanhascheezburger pic. ^-^.

have fun Otaku-ing!

And you Thought I was Never Going to Submit art Again

Yay! Through play practice, homework, and social events, I finally got an art posted!!!!!!! Yessss!
Well this play is taking up a lot of my time, but it really is a lot of fun. I can't wait to perform, it'll be so cool ^-^. The homework isn't as bad as I thought, but between that, the play and my job, it's hard to get done. As far as my social life I dont have any best buddies yet, but I do talk to a lot of people. I'm learning to get myself out there lol. Over all, I really like college.
So whats up guys?! how have you been?! It feels like so long, though I have popped up here every now and then to do some commenting.
Sorry this post is so short. .

have fun Otaku-ing!

My lack of art thus far...

Well I'm sorry that I'm becoming so very inactive on this site, I really want to keep it up. Funny thing though, when I'm gone it seems as if more people subscribe to me. lol maybe I'll leave it alone and when I come back everyone will have subscribed lol. Nah, I don't really care about that, I just don't want to loose all the friends I made on this site. It's fun talking to people who actually like anime lol. So far I've only met three at college. Well, there is an anime club but I only stayed for about 20 minutes because I had rehearsal.
Yup, I am in the first play of my first year! One of the four freshies that made it ^-^. I'm so honored AND super siked! It will be an awesome play!!!! I really hope to get closer to more of the theatre majors. Right now the upperclassmen seem cliquey, but in the theatre world that's easy to understand. Hard to deal with but easy to understand. I just hope that I'll remember what it feels like and be outgoing toward the freshmen next year. In the meantime, I'll work on being more friendly to those around me.
So art wise, I have like 2 things going. I'm trying perspective, which is turning out kind of weird. I drew a girl on a crazy robot from a birds eye view. Problem is I absentmindedly drew the girl from one perspective and the robot from another. So it looks sort of...odd to say the least. But I pulled off the individual perspectives quite well I think, and the coloring is turning out great! So when I post it you can give me your reviews. ^-^.
I also am doing a piece for our play which is going to be awesome! It's a pretty dark peice, but that means I can draw from sayonara zetsubou sensei and some surrealism art, so I'm excited to venture into that. It's really going to take a lot of emotion out of me, because I can really relate to the subject. I hope to at least get over some of the emotions I've kept inside for a while.
so that's all I have for now, I'll do my best to check up on you guys!
Oh ya! A THIRD SEASON OF ZETSUBOU SENSEI IS COMING OUT!!!!!!!!!! Huzzah! here's a pic to celebrate! If you're wondering...the girl in the window was going to jump out to make people pay attention to her (she's the normal one). The person smashing into the wall is Zetsubou Sensei in another failed attempt at suicide lol. That was probably the funniest one ^-^.

have fun Otaku-ing!

Hey All!

I'm sorry for my increasing inactivity on this site! I really am finding some time to get art done, but it takes longer than it did before college so please be patient .
As far as college goes, i really like it so far. My first professors are really cool. Of course, I have a lot of work, but it is college. I can't wait to get more involved in the theatre program here ^-^. I already have a play to read, an audition, and a partner scene to work on. However, it's been fun. On the partner scene i drop the f-bomb, which is a little weird for me because i never use that kind of language, but when im in character it doesn't matter. Its actually kind of fun and stress relieving.
So that's all for now. I have a class, but I'll try to check up on you all later!
