So [info]candlejack thinks stuff of me 

Reply to this meme by yelling... whatever you want, and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of odd or weird.

Runaways - I fanboy'd really hard about this a while back. It's on hiatus now, though, and so is my interest for the time being. ): The fanart I did for it is still one of my personal favourites to date, though, and I still love Molly.

Puppy - Aw, thanks. It's probably my eyes. ...Oh Rossi, yeah he's a puppy. A 20 kg puppy right now, by the way. He's so sweet. He still likes chewing on my feet and I'll probably regret it someday, but he's too adorable. 8)

Superheroes - WHO TOLD Y- oh, yeah, I like the. Umm, comics. Yeah I read those sometimes. About superheroes. Sure.

My brother got me into them as a kid (my favourites were Spider-Man and the X-Men, but I never cared for Batman or Super-men. Menmenmen), but  I lost interest somewhere in highschool. It was somewhat rekindled last year, after Watchmen and Runaways and Young Avengers.

Retarded jokes - I do say these from time to time.*

Art - Oh, the story on this is long and painful. Yes it is. Once upon a time, I decided to draw Pocahontas from the screen, and it was a bitch because after some time (15 minutes?) the VCR would start again on its own so I'd have to rewind to that frame again. Then I went on to the much more complicated subject of Dragon Ball, and Digimon after a while. Then there were the ffx-2.net forums where I became a ~sig and avatar maker~. With the downloaded brushes and everything. Ah, those were the times.

Aftwards it's all a blur until the 12th grade when I decided HAY YOU KNOW WHAT SCIENCE AIN'T GONNA MAKE ME HAPPY SO BRB I'LL JUST  DO TWO EXTRA EXAMS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS and I did and got in a course which I loved at first and have grown to not really love very much, but that's life.

My drawing skills are pretty much self-taught, and the teacher who helped me for a few months before college had a much bigger impact than any drawing lessons I had in these past 2 years.

Now I'm trying to be positive about my future as an illustrator while I try not to fail anything in the process so I can get the hell outta here next fall, while trying to guess which would be the best MA for me so I won't regret it after a month, trying to find scholarships whose deadlines are probably fast approaching, trying to put together a portfolio to (possibly, probably not) get a summer internship AND trying to decide on the best time to have that English test because apparentlynot having time to do any of the illustration I want in the meantime, which is also good.

Ain't this inspirational.

In other news, I can't wait for the next three weeks to be over. Positivethinkingpositivethinkingpositivethinkingpositivethinking

OH and 500 Days of Summer is pretty sweet. :') Love the soundtrack and the actors and the photography. Story's good too - not exactly WOW worthy, but it's worth a watch

Two of my friends are studying in UK for the year/semester and I went to visit them on the 10th. I want to go there for my postgraduation (and early career, I guess :B), so I wanted to check out their schools and generally check out stuff.

But really, I missed them a lot, and hey, if you have the chance to stay abroad without paying for accomodation, what's there not to like, right?

This isn't going to be overly detailed, as I want to keep it minimally interesting for... well, whoever decides to read this. Also, my moleskine got some nice exercise during this trip (hallelujah!). Whoo~

I'm serious, this is as tl;dr as it gets. Sketches at the end. )

Long texts like this one make me realize how broken my English really is. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO AND ACQUIRE THE BRITISH ACCENT.

Cheers, guys.

That. I was supposed to get my life in order today, but life happened (this time it wasn't actual procrastination, it was quality time with family and all :D) and I didn't get to write my trip report with sketches galore. I've been cropping and saving them and cleaning my DA inbox, what a great evening (not really).

In the mean time  

hot hot hot hot

peace out! Because it's 2 am.
