But wow man this place sure is a shadow of its former self *whistles*

20th of Nov. 2016: I'm not dead!
I'm doing OK, working and dealing with my mental health as well as I can. I won't be back here, though. I've started creating content for The Sims 3. As for anime, I've left it behind mostly.
If any of my old friends end up reading this - the years together have been great, and I still get nostalgic about them sometimes. Hope life is treating you well!~

8th of Nov. 2015: For anyone wondering what's happened to me
Simply put, I grew distant from TheO. The fine folks here have nothing to do with it, you all are still amazing (and I feel awful for missing so many birthdays >_<). Tagging on Minitokyo took up a lot of my time, and I gradually found myself visiting TheO less and less, until it got to literally months between visits. Hell, I don't even think I can remember my password, thank God Firefox has the option to save them.
I'm also not that interested in anime anymore - I mean, I like the style and still add to my collection of eye candy, but I don't feel the need to keep up with new releases. I've got my gigs of old manga and am pretty much satisfied with that. Art-wise, the same: haven't felt the drive to pick up or finish a work in months, probably as a result of my passion for anime fizzling out. I'm still playing The Sims 3, and have picked up Doom too (love them custom WADs!).
Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for the visit. Drop me a line on Minitokyo if you feel like it.
Hope all is well with you, and a huge thanks for the support. Take care.

Mhm, first of all, sorry for not updating in forever, I've been caught up in stuff like uni, playing Sims 3 and making icons :D Believe it or not, I have most updates (cards, walls, posts) opened in new tabs waiting to be commented on, I haven't s...

Hello everyone! It's time for a more serious post this time, since all recent posts have been with videos or memes and the likes. Time to sit down and talk about my life again.
First of all, I haven't vectored in ages and, to my surprise, I...

My life has been hectic these days. I'm supposed to be studying for exams, but by the point I get home I feel drained of all willpower to so do D: Plus, I have to be in an internship type thing, which counts as a school subject (you have to gain some experience by volunteering, internships etc.). Fortunately, I'm helping out in the Letters college (my main one), because I can't possibly afford to have a job, time-wise; I'm attending two colleges and going to classes daily, as is (yes, even the weekends). God help me when exams start.
Aside from college, I've picked up Dexter and I think it's awesome! I don't usually watch TV series because my attention span is kind of short (which is also why I don't watch anime anymore), but Dexter just grew on me and I usually watch two episodes in one sitting because it's so good :D I've finally caught up and season 5 is definitely among the best, but I can't really complain or say I didn't like them, like 90% of the people on the IMDB.com boards bitch: I liked a little bit of everything :)
And to post something fun, don't you think these covers are pure porn? I mean, I used to look at them when I was a kid and think they were weird because Mowgli's face looks like a girl's but his body is obviously that of a guy's! Anyway, let me know what you think (warning: hide your children or underage siblings, if you have any):
Jungle Books #2
Jungle Books #1
Oops, sorry about that! Here, I fixed it for you.
In a completely unrelated thing, they're all drawn by a guy. I just love how they look like those old cheap softcore pornography novels :D
...'til the card challenge I made is over :D I wouldn't have noticed it, had I not browsed it by mistake. I suck at managing things =3=
Anyway, it seems I've disappeared again, but I've still been around, commenting and whatnot. Some of you might have spotted me on your posts; the rest, sorry. Here comes one whole post of excuses and whining.
Whine #1: I hate waking up to go to college. Why? Because I wake up at whatever time I want for 4 out of 7 days, and I hate interrupting my nice schedule for something as bothersome as school *gets bricked* I don't know, I've been lazy before, but now I'm out to set a new record!
Whine #2: Today I was playing Sims 3 and saved, and it crashed. Again. After 3 hours of playing without saving. *facepalm* I know the game is horribly buggy and people need to make mods just to make it playable (let alone enjoyable), but whenever I start building or decorating I lose track of time D: So yeah, I had to replay 2 days of the larva baby stage. I hate Sim babies because all they do is crap, scream and cry D:
A Sim larva baby aging up to the Toddler stage. She has a glitchy head.
Excuse #1: All the texts I have to read for courses and seminars are 20+ pages long. And I have to photocopy or print all of them. Woe is me.
Excuse #2: If you know me, you also know I'm incredibly lazy. Like, I can't even believe how lazy I am. I have at least 2 wallpapers to make for contests, then I'll have to make the prizes for the e-card challenge, then I've got a ton of projects for both colleges then ARGH!! =__=" Is someone kind enough to put me out of the misery I've gotten myself into?
P.S. Am I stupid or are the tags not visible? They've been like this for a while for me, all I get is a blank box when clicking the Tags link. And I've tried in Firefox, IE and Opera: same result.
Just went through the worlds once more and noticed I hadn't really posted since January. That's almost like I've been dead or something :o Guess I can sum it all up like this:
1. January-March: (mainly) unconsciously pretending to be worried about the baccalaureate exam.
2. April: actually being worried about aforementioned exam.
3. May: oh s**t it's coming isn't it??
4. June: ._. Ah screw it, can't escape it anyway, might as well take it.
5. July: OMG I'M FREE!!! *does the idiot dance* Now to spend the last of my summer vacation gathering the necessary documents for college registration!
6. August: *vegetates* Oh, and I began more PS projects. *vegetates some more*
7. September, the early days: AHAHAHAHA these suckers are going to school! *points and laughs at high school people*
8. September, later: Awww, I'm not in high school anymore ;_; I miss my classmates! T_T
9. September, now: Hell yeah, bring on college!!
Because I've been admitted to two colleges from completely different fields (Literature and Economy), it's safe to say I'll probably have my hands full for a few months. And while I'm not pretending I'll be back anytime soon, I'll just say that I don't know when I'll be back :D Simple as that. Oh, I might post icons, tutorials and other stuff from time to time, but this is pretty much it for now - visit The Corner of Art from time to time to see what I'm doing, graphics-wise.
P.S. Who knows, I might defy my own logic and post a week from now :D
P.P.S. I noticed I'm not a mod anymore, which is kind of a relief since I didn't do much anyway ._. I'm too damn lazy, seriously.
