I think? Just realized that last entry was from December. THAT SEEMS LONG ENOUGH TO ME. Okay, now I just have to think of something to say. Uhh. I have a tumblr? All I really post on there are homestuck fanart and duplicate speedpaint posts, plus reblogs of cool art tutorials and completely random things I like. It is basically your average tumblr, in other words. (I also have a secret tumblr for my embarrassing shipping art, which people are welcome to look for but I which I will never post the address of, hahah.) Yep. That's all I've got. See you in 6 months. XD

I was reminded of the merits of working hard and trying again while watching  this youtube vid of a 4 year old gymnast. Yeah,  I know normally kid prodigies are not the people to watch when you want to encourage yourself.  It is a bit frustrating to see someone a quarter of your age doing better than you at something you've been doing longer than they've been alive. But this video is different. Really! (The trick, I think, is to watch kids who are prodigies at something you would be terrible at-- in my case, I know I couldn't learn gymnastics in a million years, so this video is totally nonthreatening, hahah.) Anyway, this girl is a) adorab

RIP Satoshi Kon. :( I am a big fan of Tokyo Godfathers so this was shocking and sad to find out. Today I was looking through old sketchbooks, and you know how you leave yourself notes sometimes? Well, most of mine make sense-- things like, "draw the arm longer!" or "film paper due tomorrow, stop putting it off." But then I found this rather cryptic note I wrote to myself last year: "malfunctioning lightsaber exploding room of therapy cut out 1 extra frame." What does it mean? I wish I could remember what I was thinking at the time, lol.

Hello, Kalia!  It has been... Years.  I am so good at keeping in touch.

If you manage to read this I hope you are well!!!  I miss your art and your face and talking with you about the life and stuff.

I deleted my facebook a while ago, but I still have this?!  Anyway, it'd be awesome to chat with you again in some manner.  Wishing you all the best: merry Birthdays, happy Christmases and New Years, etceteraaa...

You have been, and always will be, awesome. <333
Kiwi, I hear tell you're on the Babyonian social-networking empire known as "Facebook".

Hit me up, I remember you in my youth. You were cool. It'd be cool to bullsh*t with you.

Etc, etc.

Yo, I don't know if you're currently in Kiwi official disappear'd mode or not, but I just had to very specifically as well as very randomly let you know that you MUST get Dragon Quest IX.

You MUST. I mean, pretty please? Okay. Sorry for the random comment, have a nice day.
I have a weakness for specific random requests! And this is the series Akira Toriyama did concept art for, right? :)

*goes to google*
Just thought I'd follow suit with Tori.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by, I really do appreciate it even if i suck at replying to things in the month they were said arghh!

I'm panicking over an unfinished animation project right now, but as soon as that's finally dead I should be able to properly stalk people again. I want to know what you and Norman and Tori have been up to all this summer. :)
Well, I look forward to proper stalkage, but I can save you some of the trouble by summarizing my summer in four parts: driver's license, four days in Chicago, a few friends, and a whole lot of nothing.
