Hello there. Welcome to my world of Random Thoughts. In this world I’ll be posting stuff about anime and manga. Not to mention various other topics. I may post the occasional music video every now and than. And from time to time, I’ll just talk about my life in general. But first, here are a few things about me.

I was born an only child, for one thing. Originally I was planning to go into art professionally, but recently I’ve been more inclined towards writing. I still do the occasional wallpaper every now and then though, and I also still draw a little. But much of my energy these days goes into writing fan fiction. I’ve also recently become interested in archive and library work, which is something I’ve discovered I’m good at. Finally, like most people on the Internet, I like cats.

That’s pretty much all you need to know about me. I'm not sure how often I'll post something here, but I'll try to as often as I can. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy visiting.

Technical Difficulties

I don't know if anyone else had problems this morning, but I've been unable to get onto TheO until just a few minutes ago. My browser kept giving me a message saying that it couldn't locate the server, or something like that. Every other website I went to was working just fine, so I assumed that it was a problem with TheO. So I'm curious to know, has anyone else been unable to get onto TheO today? It'd be a little weird if I was the only one, but whatever.

On a different topic, I'd like to ask for some help on a different sort of technical matter. I recently found this really cool Yu-Gi-Oh! scan and have been wanting to use it for a wallpaper.

My first thought was to use it for an iPhone wallpaper, but I'd probably have to crop out too much and it already has text. Plus I don't actually have an iPhone myself, and I want to use this scan for a wallpaper that I'd see every now and then on my own electronic device (I switch the desktop wallpaper on my computer at least once a week). It occurred to me that the scan looked like a movie poster, so my current idea is to use it as such. So I've been trying to find an interior background image with a wall that I could put the "poster" on, but have been having no luck. The easy way out is to just put it on a simple brick wall background, put in a character next to it, and call it good. But I'd prefer not to do anything that lame. So if anyone has any suggestions about what to do, I'd love to hear them.
