Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

So, I haven't posted on here in a while. Actually, I've been neglecting the site for quite sometime, save for checking on my good friends' updates. Lately, I feel that the quality of theOtaku has...Well, to be frank, it's gone down. I've been a faithful member for a good 3 years now, and I've seen theOtaku go through some changes. Back when I joined, it was smaller, but there was quite a good deal of amazing art out there. Now, 3 years later, the site is much larger, but, not to insult anyone or anything, I feel the quality of the art has gone down. It's good that the site has grown, but I value quality over quantity.
And then there's all the drama with members like TwoFacedLullaby, AvariceTears, and Iruka Sensei. Now, I will admit that I was friends with TFL and AT. They seemed nice. I still talk to AT over on dA, and s/he is still really nice and has not once harassed/trolled/insulted me. I had been wondering what happened to TFL, and I found out last night that she was caught in her own web of lies. Back when the whole car-accident story came out, yeah, I was concerned. So it hurt to hear that I had fallen prey to a lie...I never knew Iruka...Anyways, the point is: where is the maturity? No, I am not going to run the moderators down. They did their job. They were professional about it. I applaud them for not giving in to any peer pressure. Here's the thing, though: While the internet does allow for some anonymity, shouldn't we all still act mature and try to be a community that gets along? We have enough drama in our real lives. We don't need it in a place we consider our haven.
Now, here is my inner struggle: I kind of want to leave the site. There are several factors involved in my train of thought.
I want to leave because:
~The site feels colder
~My fandoms have changed and involve subject matter too mature for the site's rating
~I feel like I'm only taking up space here
But...
~I have a good group of friends on here (Werner, Vacuum-chan, Mariel, Waffuru, Clozi, Pocky-chan, and DeidaraNarutoClan)
~I love how caring and willing to help the moderators are
~This was my first internet home
I'm at a loss as for what I should do. No, I'm not crying out for attention. I don't care about pageviews and member-ranking systems. I don't care how many people like my art. I was just here to show my art to the world. I can't really do that as of late, due to the subject matter of my recent art.
I'm not going to make any rash decisions. I'm going to keep my account here and lurk, commenting on things occasionally, but I won't be as active as I used to be in the submissions field. If you want to check out my art, you can find me on deviantART here, Y!Gallery here, and FFN here. If I do, by chance, draw something site-appropriate, I'll upload it here, but I make no promises.
Well, thanks for a good 3 years, Otakuites, and remember to stay classy!

So, things are starting to get pretty hectic. I had a stressful weekend this past weekend. Something happened that was beyond my control, and it really pissed me off and made me worried sick at the same time. It's a horrible feeling to have...If I could've prevented the event from happening, believe me, I would have! Unfortunately, I couldn't. Of course, everything has been worked out, and things are much better now.
The end of the semester is drawing near, which means that I'm going to have to write several papers and do some projects. Then of course, Finals Week...You know what? Let's just not go there...Anyways, I've got Sophomore Review to deal with on April 17th. It's something all the art majors have to go through here at the good ol' U of O...
My Education advisor has thrown out another option to me to help broaden my career choices: Preschool-8th grade certification. Right now, I'm working on an Art major and a Secondary Education major, and with the Secondary Ed major, she told me it would be VERY easy to get P-8 certification. Basically, I think I'll only have to take one more class than I would have...Unfortunately, that class is a State History class...I'm going to talk to that advisor on Wednesday at noon about this option. Both Daku and I believe it would be a very good idea. I probably need to run it by my parents, too.
Then after this semester is over, I'll get to jump right in to Maymester! That's pretty much just a bunch of Education classes rolled into one 3-week-long journey of learning...So I won't really get a break until June 5th. Of course, then I'll be starting a summer Work-Study job. Hopefully, I'll be working at the local special-needs preschool. I'm going to talk to the director Thursday...I really hope I get that position! I'm currently observing there, and I absolutely adore the 4-5 year olds! It's a dream job...See, back in 6th grade, I began working with the 3-6 year olds' Children's Church class at my church, and since then, I've gained a ton of experience working with children. I consider myself an amateur babysitter, as I've babysat many children during that period. So, yeah, that would be a dream job for me.
And May 30th or 31st, Daku will be leaving for Lincoln, Nebraska. He's doing a summer internship at UNL for 2 months...That's part of the reason I want to stay here over the summer. I couldn't stand living back at home with my parents during that time...I'd go absolutely nuts!! Not that I'm not already a bit insane anyways...But yeah, the summer Work-Study will help me make it through. I'm also considering doing an online course at a local Tech college. That'll help me be able to graduate in the next 4 semesters...
Well, I guess that's it...Stay classy, Otakuites!
