LE GASPE! It's a Kioku quote this time. (below)

"A mystery overpowers me, and I feel the need to solve it, or the victim will suffer. The answer is just out of my reach, yet my hand does not go that far. As I stretch out my hand, the farther I go, the more I forget my objective."

Current graphic projects: Nothing in particular.
Current school projects: Holy poo I have two projects due this week and I'm not in the mood to work on them because I don't have any energy left for an reason that cannot be explained nor identified through the depths of my rather tiny brain. Run-on sentences are usually quite fun to write. :D Probably because I feel sick (see below).
Mood: I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY, DAMMIT!

SHINNEN OMEDETOU, MINNA-SAN. >:D (Happy new year, everyone.)

By the way, my New Year's Resolution is below. Just a reminder to those who skip my fat introductory paragraphs, which is probably a lot of people. Don't worry, I understand. ^^'

Also, version two of Euphonius is almost done! I just need a few adjustments, and I'm done! By that, I mean, I need one of my friends to edit the text for me, since my Photoshop is broken (I have the .PSD file~).

My nose has been occasionally runny today; I fear that I may be sick, though I haven't been out the past two to three days. D: Also, I have a bit of a sore throat. Must drink more water!

I'm getting better at working on a project days before its due date, but I wish I could use my time more efficiently. Work on it in verying amounts every day, so I wouldn't have to stress so much on the last few days I have to work on it. Actually, even though I had over two weeks to work on a French project, I still lagged to the last day. I took a week "off" my homework during the holiday break, which I could have used to complete a bit per day! But no, I didn't, and I was lazy, and I'm still lagging on the second-last day. D: I HATE HAVING TWO PROJECTS DUE IN THE SAME WEEK. I also have a business project to work on; I have to draw out four pages for a comic, and it takes almost an hour or two to plan out, draw, trace with pen, and also colour each page. Agh, I'll never be a manga artist. At least I wouldn't have to colour, but, but...! It's toooooo HARD. (headdesk) Oh poo, I should have chosen a storybook to complete instead. I WANT TO STAB SOMETHING, RIGHT NOW. D:<

And speaking of successes (failures is more like it), hurrah! I have quit Facebook games altogether (well, one month ago). They waste so much of my time, seriously. Around thirthy minutes each day devoted to at least one or two games. I don't even get that much time on the computer in the first place (the number shall not be revealed) so thirthy minutes is quite a lot out of my time overall. The only game I still played last week (before December 2nd) was Cafe World, but even that is pretty simple and boring in itself, if one dissects the objective of the game. Cook dishes. Come back later to see if it's done cooking. Decorate your restaurant. Visit your friends' restaurants. That's basically it; weird to think I was hooked on it before. I guess I have my days of no internet to thank. I didn't want to ask my friends to check if my food in Cafe World was done cooking, so I just decided not to play anymore. A good solution, if I must say so myself. I don't even want to use Facebook that much anymore. I need to develop a schedule for my animanga and homework, and Facebook has just been getting in my way. :/ Seriously, if you knew me in real life, I am ridiculously slow at watching anime. Enough to make you want to pull out a katana out of somewhere and to actually enjoy ripping out my beautiful insides. Well, a little overexaggertated, but I'm sure it's understandable. (I mean, one episode per two days? Surely I, as an "animanga freak" can do better! [sarcastic... perhaps.]) Otherwise, I'd probably get sent to a mental hospital by now. I probably belong in one, particularily the well-known St. Mary's Bethlehem in London, England, the origin for the word bedlam. I'm not even a comprehensive human being, peh. (sips on guava juice) Ahh. So good.

I am awaiting the release of Kuroshitsuji in North America on January 26th, by the rapidly-growing (in my opinion) Yen Press company. The series is, unfortunately, going to be renamed "Black Butler". If there's a problem with the supposedly hidden swear word in the title, then there also is a problem with "Full Moon wo Sagashite". However, if there's a problem with the size of "Kuroshitsuji", then "Full Moon wo Sagashite" is pretty long as well. What's wrong with "Searching for the Full Moon", huh? =__________= Or maybe all of my points are incorrect and it's just totally up to the company. .________.

And here's my New Year's Resolution.

  1. Grow taller by at least two inches. Or maybe lessen that to two centimetres. D:
  2. To exercise. My bones are all creaky from sitting down my arse in front of the TV/computer for 2/3 of my "life" (if it can even be called such a thing). Surprisingly, I'm not overweight from all this inactiveness.
  3. Remain under 110 lbs. (TAKE THAT, ADOLESCENT HORMONES!)
  4. Get a job?
  5. Get Kuroshitsuji/ Fullmetal Alchemist/ Soul Eater manga.
  6. Receive an average over 87%.
  7. Close up IRO!Hitsuzen COMPLETED.
  8. Open up a tiny site for my written works (e.g.: ssets of paragraphs, sentences, phail poems, etc.)
  9. Open a site to showcase my artwork.
  10. Read more on the Victorian era~
  11. Read more novels and non-fiction books. (I read less the previous year, as an effect of too much manga)
  12. Start a hobby for watercolour painting.
  13. Learn Latin, la bella lingua (the beautiful language. The word "a' would be more appropriate for this situation, but, sadly, I don't know the word for "a" in Italian xD).
  14. Learn Italian~
  15. Learn Japanese (I'm better at Japanese than Cantonese, LULZ. Total phail.)
  16. Learn Finnish~ (maybe Savo Finnish, I dunno :0)
  17. Try Romanian?
  18. Spend less time on Facebook and more on animanga/ homework
  19. To complete my non-existant "novel" this year. :/ I might not even get through half of this, though. Let us see.
  20. Record myself singing a Vocaloid song in one of their voices. I've been wanting to do either "Romeo & Cinderella" as both Rin and Len Kagamine, "The Daughter of Evil" as Rin Kagamine, or "Love is War" as Luka Megurine, Len Kagamine, or Miku Hatsune. :0 So far, "Love is War" in Luka-san's voice seems best.
  21. Get a new mouse because my current one is uncooperative as poo (a nice alternative to a common swear word we all know). I can't use it for Paint Tool Sai or vectoring if I ever want to in the future. D: Plus, its jerky movements make it hard to control already. :/
