8 facts + Commissioned art!
15 years ago
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 8 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them
5) NO TAG-BACKS
6) Ignore the above rules and just post something.
1) I have a very large and close family. On my dad's side, I have four first cousins; on my mom's, I have five. Consequently, every year I have four Christmases: Christmas Eve in Santa Rosa with my dad's extended family (13 people), Christmas morning in Santa Rosa at my parents' house (me, my mom, my dad, and my little brother), Christmas afternoon in Berkeley (16 people), and Christmas evening in Oakland (around 40 people).
2) I'm horrible at remembering names. This is particularly embarrassing when swing dancing, because I'll introduce myself to my dance partner, hear her name, and forget it before the fucking 3-minute song is over. If I see you around and don't remember your name, please don't take it personally.
3) I *love* receiving gift art of my characters. It makes me really, really, REALLY happy. But I almost always feel bad commissioning it—the feeling of saying "oh, I have money, draw me!" just doesn't work with my brain, no matter how much I try to rationalize it. Consequently, I don't have an awful lot of art of my characters.
4) I love citrus fruits. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerines, and especially oranges. I love putting salt on my grapefruit, no matter how much people look at me weird.
5) I've seen very little of America, or the world in general. In particular, I've been to seven states: California, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, Colorado, Georgia, and Massachusetts. Most of those, other than California, have been stays for less than a week in one or two cities. This is something that I finally have the means to fix.
6) Since working at the high school snack bar, the only jobs I've had have been programming, including the new job I got two weeks ago. This is slightly embarrassing.
7)
ichiblack is my girlfriend; we've been together for over four years. We met in high school, but only got together after I graduated. We've been a long-distance relationship for 3 1/2 years, except our second year together, when we lived together in Berkeley.
8) It bothers me when things don't match, are inconsistent, out of place, or out of order. It's not an OCD-type thing, it just gets on my nerves. You'd think that would mean my apartment is clean; if you think that, you clearly haven't seen my apartment.
Tagbacks ignored per rule #6, because I invented it.

Speaking of commissions and giftart (#3), I did manage to steel myself into getting a few commissions, and quite a lot of giftart! The ones that I didn't submit to my own account are listed first.

I totally feel you with the commissioning thing... definitely.
I do, however, feel that there's a lot of America I want to see, and that it's easy enough to do a road trip that I don't really have much excuse. So while the list of coutries may not be exhaustive, the list of states above is. :P
I definitely have a lot of places I want to travel too as well ^_^
