14:08, 12.31.08: Geez, I haven't updated here in two years. That's... wow. Shows where my priorities lie, I guess.

I do think about writing every now and then, but out of these two things I've always wavered between, my focus is on drawing right now. Sorry. I do draw fanart occasionally, though, so if you're looking for fanworks in general, just hit up my dA. I guarantee it would be more satisfying than waiting here for me to update LC, TSG, and IaC.

okay um, 3 2 1 lets go! -cough- didn't think so.

Um... about me. I'm always looking for time to chill and relax, but I value my friends more than anything else in my life. I don't do anything that I don't want to do. I'm not always confident, and I do stupid things frequently, but I don't regret anything. I like pretty things, dynamic things, irony, dreams about kissing my best friend, salty foods, traveling, and the feeling of finishing something I started. I dislike peppers, unnecessary drama, things being too expensive, and pimples.

Currently, I don't know exactly what I want concerning certain people, and I'm kind of stressed out. I've been reading a lot of manga to study styles of comic paneling so I can be more prepared to work on my own. Manga I've read recently include:

Bartender
Alice 19th
Absolute Boyfriend
Ayashi no Ceres
Special A
Nabari no Ou
Shugo Chara!
Katekyo Hitman Reborn

and a little bit of Naruto, whenever I hear that something interesting has happened. I recommend all of them except Alice 19th and Absolute Boyfriend. Ceres was exceptionally better than both in my opinion, though they're all by Watase Yuu.

Anime I've watched recently are:

Kimikiss Pure Rouge
Shugo Chara!
Special A
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Nabari no Ou
Code Geass

I started Geass R2, but haven't gotten far. I avoided watching the last 5 or 6 episodes of Nabari no Ou, because after seeing what happened to Special A when the studio attempted to finish the storyline before the manga ended, I figured I'd probably hate it, and didn't want to see the relationship between Yoite and Miharu messed up (or see them make Yoite into more of a pathetic brat). Shugo Chara! is good except for the fillers, like most anime. The manga is better. Kimikiss was decent, but I wanted to slap Mao. Hard.

The best was Gurren Lagann. It was amazing, and I want everyone in the world to watch it. It has that kind of effect.

THE ACT
by William Carlos Williams

There were the roses, in the rain.
Don't cut them, I pleaded.
They won't last, she said
But they're so beautiful
where they are.
Agh, we were all beautiful once, she
said,
and cut them and gave them to me
in my hand.
