Merry Christmas to you all, and to all you celeberate for whatever reaosn it may be!

In memory of Stephen Colbert's voice acting.

So, yeah, sprained my ankle. Lotsa pain, goofy computer set up, blah blah blah.

Stolen title scheme...I amuse myself with wordplay...

So, since I've been so locked into playing *scratches out name in fear of emberassment* I've become quite the nolstagic lurker/artist here, being even more of an nolstagic writer since nothing has been coming to mind (and beating myself up over having no certain attitude or rythme to my writing/art). As such, I haven't been reading stories/comics/manga like I used to, played games for a long amount of time before getting bored (*crossed out* aside...it's a fun game). Regardless, he comes the subject matter of this journal.

I planned to say something long and cryptic about my upcoming birthday and my age, but seeing as I've alreayd told people my age the whole riddle-type writing type of thing just seems downright retarded. So, in short, My birthday on the 21st, turning another age where I can buy cigs if I liked to smoke, drive if I didn't flunk out of driver's ed, and vote if I was out of school. Yipide-doo.

Aside from my blackluster mood of Decomber 21st, An impulsive story/book idea thought came to mind that has before. What if I wrote a book about Thiefs and stealing, given it doesn't ramble on like someone who goes on tangeants all the time. I'm going to wait to see if this idea "ferments".

Guess that's all I can msuter to write with my laziness and hatred of falling behind in everything. Guess I'm done.

PS: The silence....it wounds me...! *dies*

So, I jsut happen to find out my linksky router makes my house and the nearest 10 or so feet (Haven't measured, will tommarow) away from it wifi compatible, Also giving me the advantage of playing just about any and every DS game I have that's wifi compatible...well...possible to play.

Short version: i kan play da mari0 manz on teh interweb. Awesomeness.

So, long story short...what do I do?= to play with those who have their DS's waiting to stompify me in things like *checks his list* Final fantasy 3...How does that even work..?

13. What is a compliment you have to give to an artist that you admire (on this site)? What do you like about their work, what would you like to learn from them, what do you like about their personality/philosophy, etc.?

Century. to put it simply.
Thank you. Out of all others i could've chosen, for you've done the one thing that I can say I may never regret in my life. For that, the things you've shared and said, I will honor it for as long as I can.

Everyone who comments on this journal must post it to their own journal and, to everyone that comments on this journal, give them a compliment.

I made other users on other art pages to play catch up with those who left Furaffinty, like it was a noble gesture. No, I'm not leaving myself (as stated in the invisible journal to many, and the journal I delete to so some), just going to be trying some new things. Many other artist have their other galleries, maybe I should try that out.

I mean, I haven't tried to do anything else since DeviantArt banned me for a bit, Yaoi gallery sucks of suckerness, and VCL said I couldn't join. I think, though, I should keep trying to get myself out there, becoming something else then a lurker at least.

So, here are my other usernames for this little expirment of mine. If it works or not, I'll still be here, though, one of the outcomes might make me sadder.
