21st of Nov. 2020: *checks watch* nope still not dead!

But wow man this place sure is a shadow of its former self *whistles*

20th of Nov. 2016: I'm not dead!

I'm doing OK, working and dealing with my mental health as well as I can. I won't be back here, though. I've started creating content for The Sims 3. As for anime, I've left it behind mostly.

If any of my old friends end up reading this - the years together have been great, and I still get nostalgic about them sometimes. Hope life is treating you well!~

8th of Nov. 2015: For anyone wondering what's happened to me

Simply put, I grew distant from TheO. The fine folks here have nothing to do with it, you all are still amazing (and I feel awful for missing so many birthdays >_<). Tagging on Minitokyo took up a lot of my time, and I gradually found myself visiting TheO less and less, until it got to literally months between visits. Hell, I don't even think I can remember my password, thank God Firefox has the option to save them.

I'm also not that interested in anime anymore - I mean, I like the style and still add to my collection of eye candy, but I don't feel the need to keep up with new releases. I've got my gigs of old manga and am pretty much satisfied with that. Art-wise, the same: haven't felt the drive to pick up or finish a work in months, probably as a result of my passion for anime fizzling out. I'm still playing The Sims 3, and have picked up Doom too (love them custom WADs!).

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for the visit. Drop me a line on Minitokyo if you feel like it.
Hope all is well with you, and a huge thanks for the support. Take care.

On a Harry Potter binge

About three weeks ago I had a sudden craving to re-read the Harry Potter books, after not having picked them up for almost 10 years.

GUESS WHAT. THEY'RE STILL AWESOME.

I'm almost done with book 6 and it hasn't even been three full weeks since I restarted the series. Not exaggerating, these wonderful books have brought back the passion of reading for me, after years of being worn down by forcing myself to read textbooks and a short period of attempting cheap romance novels (lolno).

And I discovered one of my close friends is a Harry Potter fan too - though she's only seen the movies - so I finally have someone to fawn over them with (first time after grade school, haha).

I guess I'll be watching the movies too after I'm done with the books. For some reason, I never went past the fifth one so 6-8 will be a first-time watch for me (though I hardly remember the rest so might as well count those in as well XD).

Any HP crazies around here?
