O_O

Exact expression right now...O.O

YUKO ANDO, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! O.O

Holy crap...Just read her wiki page bio...Go, go, it's...remarkable...TT^TT

I mean, I'm exaggerating here, but I find her to be...the kind of person I've always wanted to be. If she goes on as being an artist in the future...Then...wow...All the things I've wanted to do in my life.

Well, right now I want to become an artist...but I'm also kinda leaning to a career in film...but I also like singing and stuff on the side...

Which...is...just like Yuko Ando...'orz

I want to be like Yuko Ando! TT^TT I mean, it's not just that, it's how she is. She's very honest and straightforward to her listener's questions, she doesn't seem overly confident about everything, she is a rather independent person. I TOTALLY respect her...after listening to her music, and reading more about her...

What you can learn in 20 minutes...XD Seriously, didn't take me very long to be incredibly wowed by her!

Of course...speaking of what I'd like to be...I seem to be...totally dedicated to manga currently...

Of course, this could change...But I don't think of art as my 'hobby' like others do. I think of it seriously. Though I'm not offended in any way if people say it's bad, I try hard, but I can obviously see the mistakes...('course, that'd be rubbing it in my face...>.>)

But I've been very interested in fashion and design right now...And I've read lots of people's comments on DA 'n stuff about how they like the manga style etc., but they also liked fashion and design, and they THOUGHT they liked it enough to become a fashion designer so they went to a fashion school. Apparently that was the worst decision of their life (says them). They didn't really like fashion and all that jazz, they just thought they did and found it interesting.

I also read somebody's journal entry on DA where they talked about how if you want a job in art, you better be serious about art or it'll ruin your life. If you just think of it as a hobby, then it's not going to work out and you'll bother yourself...

Probably end up depressed and miserable and cause suicide and die...

Uhhh...sorry...XD I just think of life like that. Like if I made this decision, what could possibly be the outcome. How would I like to live my life?

For me, I want to be like Clint Eastwood or something. I want to be the kind of person who does a ton in their life. I want to do several things in my life, but ultimately be dedicated to manga (in the end)...

In fact, I've planned out my life after high school...sorta...I want to go to an art college...get some kind of degree (still thinking about that), then go over to Japan, get to hard core studying to learn everything I can and need to know to pass any inspections or something, find a good job, maybe try to get into a talent agency to act or sing or something, then after a few years of doing whatever those things were, begin my career as a mangaka and live the rest of my life in...manga misery...XD

Something like that...Though I'll try my best to steer myself in the direction I'd like to go. Because I know not everything is going to work out, but I have to fix any problems.

So, guys! I really think you guys should think through how you want your life to be and think really hard about it. The things you want to do, do you REALLY love those kinds of things, and you think you're really cut out for it? I mean, if your not, find something else you have a talent in, or try much more harder than what you do now. Become way more determined and try as hard as you can to get to where you want to be! >:D

Ahhh, Yuko Ando, you inspire me so much~!
