                <description><![CDATA[ Welp, I'm back, and actually somewhat active.  Especially thanks to <a href="http://castle-oblivion.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/castle-oblivion.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcastle-oblivion:" title="castle-oblivion"/></a> ~<br /><br />So now I guess I gotta do this meme for the club, haha.  Luckily, I now have three Nobodies to have fun with~<br /><br />~<br /><br />Meme created by <a href="http://axelismyother.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/x/axelismyother.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconaxelismyother:" title="axelismyother"/></a><br /><br />1. Choose a few of your own nobody OCs. Five at the most. AS MANY AS YOU WANT XD (if you only have one then that's fine too )<br />2. Make them answer the following questions.<br />3.

...sort of.<br />
<br />
Despite a recent horrific computer crash, I plan on uploading some of my more recent stuff in the near future.  But I don't expect to make updates any more regular than they were before because, oh, yanno, I STILL DON'T HAVE A SCANNER.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well, minor update for anyone who cares.  I've been drawing a lot lately, and getting a lot better, too.  Problem is that most of my evidence is in one of my smaller sketchpads, and I'm hesitant to cut the good stuff out before I fill it up.  (no perforated edges... T.T)  So, yeah.<br />
<br />
I do have one thing besides the orange wallpaper that I could upload possibly tomorrow, but after that I am on HIATUS.  ...not that anyone cares, but I just thought people should know.  ...you know, so people don't think I'm dead, or something.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Does anyone else know what the IMF is?<br />
<br />
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, IMF stands for the International Music Feed, a channel which (I think) is only available through Dish Network.  IMF is quite a paradox - it claims to broadcast "The World's Best Videos," when at least 75% of the music they play is generic American hip hop.  Still, it's all commercial-free, so ya can't blame 'em for trying, but...<br />
<br />
Now that that's covered, I won't bitch about it quite so much.  They do have three noteworthy, half-hour-long programs: The Bridge (which plays Latin-American music), Passage to India, and One World (which plays nothing but international music, THANK GOD)<br />
<br />
These are some of the things I've learned from watching the IMF:<br />
<br />
1) Japanese hip-hop/R&B is just as bland and generic as American hip-hop/R&B.<br />
2) No matter how much of it you cram into one measly half-hour segment, all Indian music still generally sounds the same.<br />
3) Cello rock is t3h shiznit!!!11  (Especially if it's a Metallica cover!)<br />
4) All the sexy rock stars are either Asian or Scandinavian.  WHY MUST THIS BE SO?<br />
<br />
...and on a related note, my current obsession is a Finnish rock band, Uniklubi.  (read: "Rakkautta ja Piikkilankaa")  If only they would play more of their music...  *siiiiigh* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now that summer is upon (most of) us,  I've been digging through my boxy CTX  and rediscovering some old English  Honors assignments.  And they  (surprisingly) don't suck.  So, since  school's finally out (and since DA  apparently has a poetry/prose section),  I will shortly be posting them for your  reading pleasure.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well... I finally beat FF2 today.<br />
<br />
(Dawn of Souls version, that is... just  so people don't get confused.)<br />
<br />
First off, even though I did like the  story and the characters, I...  *hate*... that game.  Maybe it would be  better if the leveling system made it  less frustrating to get stronger, so  that I didn't keep dying all the time.   That's why I have to gripe about the  random battles, since the sudden  easiness of DYING made them all seem to  occur...oh, say...every two STEPS?<br />
<br />
Seriously, aren't battles supposed to  be FUN?  FF1 was fun; leveling up to  Lv.99 and completing the entire  bestiary was fun.  Final Fantasy II, I  ask you: Am I having FUN yet?  Or am I  supposed to be agonizing over [insert  any character's name here]'s death?<br />
<br />
And, by the way, you really can insert  any character's name there - unless you  spend an ungodly amount of time  leveling up every aspect of your party  members, any random battle can be  fatal.<br />
<br />
*fumes* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ On Tuesday, I picked up three manga:  Furuba vol. 8 and Yami no Matsuei vols.  3 and 4.  ...Of course, I haven't  gotten to read them until yesterday, at  school no less, snuck in between the  parts of class where I'm actually  supposed to be paying attention.  =.=;;<br />
<br />
Oh, but that's not the best part.   *possible spoiler, so don't say I  didn't warn you* This morning I was  reading YnM 3 again, when I noticed  something: nestled in the panels of  Hisoka's flashback/rape scene was a  "glowing cone of light."<br />
<br />
Three things went through my head:<br />
<br />
1) How the hell did I miss that the  first time?<br />
<br />
2) So, I guess this makes my remotely  graphic yaoi manga count = 3.<br />
<br />
3) ZOMG I ACCIDENTALLY BROUGHT PR0N  INTO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!111111   AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!11<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Some people are idiots.<br />
<br />
I've been getting better at drawing  male characters lately.  But somehow,  whenever I bring my stuff to school, I  still manage to get asked the age-old  question:<br />
<br />
"Is that a guy or a girl?"<br />
<br />
*grrrrrr*<br />
<br />
Why do _I_ have to answer the question?   Granted, some of my guys do look  particularly feminine, but people  should know enough for themselves to  check out other aspects of male/female  characteristics.  I don't necessarily  draw any dirty-hawt-kinky-nasty-raw  kinda stuff, so that usually entails  the flatness of the chest.   Unfortunately, others seem to prefer  playing a game of "20 Questions" rather  than using their own logic.  A typical  conversation will go like this:<br />
<br />
"So, like, is that a girl, or what?"<br />
<br />
"...It's a guy."<br />
<br />
"Oh, really?  Well, I couldn't tell..."<br />
<br />
"How hard is it to tell?  He doesn't  have boobs."<br />
<br />
"Well, yeah, but he has long hair..."<br />
<br />
"Lots of guys have long hair!!  Can't  you tell he's a guy by the chest?!"<br />
<br />
"All I'm saying is that he needs to get  a haircut, or something..."<br />
<br />
"..."<br />
<br />
I am so glad none of my friends are  like that. ]]></description>
