Happy 4th of July,

I can't believe it! I've been on FF for 7 years now. Technically I've been on here on 8 with an account that I lost my log in to. Makes me feel old.

I know its been forever but I've had a lot on my plate lately. My family has hit some really rough times so I haven't been in the mood for anything, not even for drawing. It feels as if my muse has just died with everything that is going on. I should update something and I have been working on a new fanfic but its been going very slowly. Especially since I don't know when I'll be able to update things.

About Me:

I am a senior in college (finally), which is kind of funny cause my sis is a senior in high school this year as well. Anyways, I have been very busy with school + family life and between the two of them it has been quite stressful. I like to write mainly EscaFlowne fanfics, I don't know why but I connect the most with EscaFlowne when writing it, and not to mention there aren't enough out there. Its also a habit I think.

I am working on becoming an animator and gamer professionally even though I personally prefer the animating part I think its good to learn both if you are going into the field so you can fall back on the other. Very tedious work though, just as a student alone if you aren't fast at learning it you can spend a minimum of 40 hours a week on the computer.

My Hobbies:

Reading, writing, drawing, video games, anime/manga, cosplaying (yes I'm one of those people), and swimming. Not all at the same time of course.

Reading is a must for me. I read at least one book a day (if I don't have anything else to do). Mostly fantasy and even then I'm picky about the type of fantasy I read. I think I read most of the fantasy section in my public library.

Writing: For me I write things here and there, I haven't written whole stories these past few months. I have still been trying to get my original fiction down. I've been mostly jotting things down here and there.

Video Games: RPGs. I don't mind most turn based video games but one of my favorite has to be Kingdom Hearts. Or at least until KH2, too much fan service if you ask me. No offense for you die hard KH fans I used to be one too. Like I was saying, I'm very picky about story lines. Video games are no exception.

anime: I've been getting back into a lot of the old anime lately.

- Favorites: Blood, Witch Hunter Robin, Sailor Moon, Kyou Kara Maou, Twelve Kingdoms, EscaFlowne, Fushigi Yuugi, And a bunch of others I can't think of at the moment.

Manga:

- Kyou Kara Maou, Vampire Knight, Angel/Demon Diary, Skip Beat, 1/2 Prince, Goong, Hanga Kimi, and a bunch of others that I am forgetting at the moment.

Cosplays: I do attend cons though I do not think I will go to the one I normally go to this coming year. 2011. It was a disappointment last year and too many people.

- Yuuki Vampire Knight, Saya Blood+ Season 2, Tomoyo-Hime Tsubasa Chronicles, Li, Syaoran - Tsubasa Chronicles Tokyo Revelations, Rukia - Bleach

I'll try to post something soon, no promises,

Have a good holiday
