Just as the title says, I'll be launching one or two new Worlds next year (which is conveniently just around the corner).
The first one is Art Evolution. I stated in a previous post that it's just a place to post old art. Anyone who wants to guest post can either comment here or PM me. You can join in at any time.
The second one (title pending, but I'm probably going to call it The Bounce House) is kind of a random World. Basically anyone can post anything-- as long as it has some substance. Funny things are highly encouraged. Again anyone who wants go guest post can comment or PM me.
As a final note, I got some comments on my CD World. This makes me simultaneously happy and nervous. I get kind of sensitive about my musical tastes, so I'm a little afraid to read the comments. I WILL read them, though. I just need to work up the courage.
First off, I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts. They brought a smile to my face.
I am SO GLAD that I posted my SS in time. I haven't received mine yet, but I'm a patient person (unless it's with myself). It's sure to be worth the wait. Besides, I've been late with SS gifts before. Maybe it's karma.
So! Now to talk about my birthday party. We did what any family who doesn't want to cook on Christmas would do: go to a Chinese restaurant. We had some delicious dim sum and the best tofu EVARR.
I guess I'll talk about the loot that I got-- but only the interesting stuff. First, one of my aunts gave me money to buy a year's worth of Netflix. I know there anime section is dwindling, but at least I can FINALLY watch The Seven Deadly Sins. I've heard Netflix has a lot of good cartoons, too. A friend of mine has been urging me to watch My Little Pony.
Another really cool thing is that my parents are planning to help me with next year's ACen costs. What I really want is a hotel room so that I don't have to keep driving up and back every day. I hope I can actually get one.
Finally, my brother and his girlfriend got me something that I was not expecting at all: Pokemon Sun. My brother knows my Pokemon habits, and that I tend to stretch out each game as long as possible. He also knows that I haven't played a game since Gen II. He said it was OK if I didn't want it, and that I could return it, because we both know it would consume my life.
My dilemma is this: should I keep it? I'm weighing the pros and cons, but I don't know what to make of it. If I do keep it, I feel like I should also get the Gen VI games to "pick up where I left off" with the Gen III remakes. Do the even make those anymore?
Well, I guess that wraps up (get it? I was talking about presents) this post. Even though it's late at night (or tomorrow, depending on your location), I still want to wish you guys a merry Christmas. If you don't celebrate, I wish you a happy Hanukkah. If you don't celebrate that either, tell me what you do celebrate so that I can wish you that. If you don't celebrate anything today, I just hope you have a great day.
My SS picture is almost done. I just need to do a little more coloring. I'm hoping to post it tomorrow.
I got a Challenge entry! Yay! I'm withholding comments until the Challenge is over.
Speaking of music, I recorded another song. Now first place will get four songs, second gets three, and third gets two. I just hope that my music is not a disappointment to my entrant(s).
Let's brainstorm next year's event!
I already talked about the OC popularity poll in a previous post, but I just came up with another idea called "Art Evolution" where we basically post old drawings, preferably ones from before we came to theO. It's just a fun little way to show how far we've come.
So, which would you rather do? Art Evolution would probably go into effect at the beginning of next year, whereas the OC poll would officially begin next spring or summer.
So... questions? Suggestions? Other ideas? Glittery disco balls? Please excuse my overly-caffeinated brain.
Also! The voice meme is still open.
Also, also! If I don't get any review suggestions by the end of the year, my CD World is going bye-bye.
Also, also, also! Pleeeeeeaaaaaaase enter my Challenge!
The title just describes where my mind is right now. Nothing more, nothing less. Now, the post.
I have three recordings now. That means more Challenge prizes to give out. That is, if anyone enters. (One person PMed me, and I get the impression that they want to submit a wallpaper... even though it doesn't work like that.) I really do hope people enter.
Speaking of music, I know every time I bring up CD Collection World, I get mostly silence as a response. If no one submits a review request by the end of the year, I'm going to delete it.
I've started on my SS drawing. So far, so good. I'm also trying to do another drawing that's kind of ambitious. It involves a character sitting in a chair. Also, perspective which I probably messed up on really badly. Well, gotta start somewhere, right?
Lately, I've been kicking ideas around for a new World. I was thinking about random awesome junk. You know, crazy videos, pointless musings, cute photos, top tens, and the like. If anyone remembers The Watercooler, you'll know what I mean. Of course, there will be guest posters. [Insert evil grin here.]
Finally, you know how I like hosting an event every year? I'd like to do it again, but I only have one idea so far. The idea is an OC countdown, ranked by popular vote. We wouldn't be competing against each other for OC domination-- everyone would do a countdown only with the OCs they have made, and other people would vote for their favorites. It's not the best idea, so if you can think of something you'd prefer to do, let me hear it.
