Greetings fellow life-forms and human-creatures!

Alright so I decided that it's time I talked about stuff that I like since my DA has kind of been not-so-frequently-updated/abandoned and left at an orphanage only to be readopted by it's own mother and have serious life-scarring incident that affects it forever-

ANYWAY

So let's start wiiiiiith....

Do you like Anime?

I appreciate anime. Do I watch it? No, not at all anymore. Do I know what it is? Yes, I do. Do I appreciate the artwork and some of the storylines? Yes, I do. I just don't prefer to watch anime anymore. It's not really as interesting as I once thought it to be. The ONLY exception has to be Hetalia though. I want to collect all the DVD's out there because that show/book/series/thing is pure amazing. I stopped watching anime after I finished season 1 of Black Butler.

Do you like Manga?

I like the character designs and the collection that I have but I don't have an interest in reading them anymore. Hetalia, again, is an exception. I am thinking about selling them to make room for the other books that I have started hoarding buying. Black Butler has beautiful character designs and I aspire to one day be able to design clothes and draw fabrics like Toboso, but I don't really want to read manga anymore. I just don't have an interest in it.

Do you draw Anime/Manga?

I'm gradually moving away from that art style but I can look back and be thankful for having it there to start me off. I'm moving off to a more realistic, cartoon, soft look rather than an exaggerated, chibi, unproportional look. This marks the start of the stretch toward my own drawing style and I like it.

What do you think about Ball and Joint Dolls?

I think they are fun to look at, but a pipe-dream for me to take pictures of or own. I don't really want to save up and buy one like I wanted to awhile back because I want different things now, like videogames, summer school courses, books, and gas for my car.

Do you still like photography?

I do like photography, but I'm not as into it as I thought I was going to be. I haven't gotten my camera off my desktop in a long time...probably since...well, almost a year ago?  I put down my camera shortly after my parents separated and that was almost a year ago so... yeah... wow... this is even surprising to me. I might do something someday but I'm not sure when that will be, and, for now, my cord for uploading is the one thing connecting my Xbox to it's sad little life...I've had to move save data from several different places on my console to my external hard drive and they were critical for the use of my Xbox so since I don't want to move them back because I kinda can't since my Xbox doesn't have enough room, I am stuck with a permanent hard drive attached to the back of my console via that little life-saving cord. It's like my Xbox is in a coma and is just hooked up to the- yeah okay whatever let's move on.

Do you still like gothic/death/dark things?

I don't like those things as much, if at all, anymore. For instance, I like (there is not a good way to write this without sounding completely out of my mind) death and I like to talk about it, Heaven, Hell, how people die...things like that. it's just an interesting topic and it's not so much of a frightening thing to me anymore. If I were to die today I would be okay with that. I'm not afraid of death. I don't enjoy thinking about or engaging myself into dark subjects or things such as demons, vampires, dark love stories, etc. anymore either. (right after I just said I like death) ((this is getting weirder and weirder)) I like to not subject myself to that and instead focus on things more real, like humans and more reality-based stories*ramblerambleramble*... I don't want to finish the Mortal Instruments series just for this reason. It's too out there. I like books like The Fault in Our Stars, Happyface, It's Kind of a Funny Story, Perfect, Lovely, Dark, and Deep...books that involve people in life going through things. Not supernatural beings and dark gothic people with vampires and magic with demons and fighting to save the world-no I'm past that. So, to broadly, sum up my answer to this question, no, I do not like gothic/death/dark things.

Do you like playing Animal Crossing on the Wii?

Nope. I don't play on my Wii anymore, mainly because it, and all my guitar hero stuff and games are at my Mom's apartment and there's not optimum space- I am an Xbox addict now. I've played and traded in plenty of games and I want to play more and more. I think sometime in the future, and I will probably start a gaming channel on YouTube if I can work some stuff out and she actually wants to do it- If my mom wants to give me back the Wii when she moves to her new apartment, I might just sell it along with my DSi (Yeah I think I'm ready to give that up...), it's games, and all the guitar hero...things. Animal Crossing isn't really that appealing or fun to me anymore. I don't know why. Maybe I got bored with it and I have grown accustomed to fast-paced games that give instant results and don't take forever and a day and a ton of work on my part to make any kind of progress... I gave up playing Skyrim for this reason. There was just too much to choose from and too much to do. The loading screens took forever and it constantly glitched out (For me. Maybe that's because it was a pre-owned game? A well-loved, pre-owned game?). I am absolutely in love with Portal and Half-Life 2. Those are my lovely games. My little amazing games full of overwhelming happy. I like COD Blops 2 as well, though, I have only taken a full 10 minutes to play the campaign and then I never finished it and moved straight to the XBL games. What can I say, I'm impatient.

That's all I can think of right now. I will probably come back with more of this kind of stuff soon. For now though, I'm tired. I'm going to watch some YouTube.
