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.

In addition to being a fairly good wallpaper artist, I'm also a fan fiction writer who's written quite a few stories on FanFiction.Net. To check those stories out, CLICK HERE

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.

Birthday 2012

So as many of you know, yesterday was my birthday. I'd like to thank everyone here at TheO who sent me a gift or signed my guestbook.

Anyway, it was a good day yesterday. The highlight was seeing the movie, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I was actually surprised at how good the movie was. I was kinda expecting it to suck since the third Mission Impossible movie seemed to be kind of finale to the series. Plus I'm a little biased against Tom Cruise.

Anyway, yesterday went quite well, and today's not off to a bad start either. I just saw a rather amusing episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, and I now have 99 subscribers. So to celebrate that occurrence, here's the song 99 by Toto.

HOLY @#$% THAT'S BIG!

I just found out something on the news. There's apparently a 25 pound emerald out there. Below is the link to the story, and it does include a picture.

That thing is huge! It' like the size of a bed pillow! I mean, man!

Well, I just thought I'd share that interesting bit of news with you all. Have a great day!

It Is Done

Well, I now have a FanFiction.Net account. Not that I can do much with it at the moment though. Apparently I can't upload any stories for a couple of days. Still, I guess I can at least look around and stuff. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know.

PLEASE READ, I BEG OF YOU!

Now that I have you attention (or at least I hope I do), I need some advice on something. As many of you probably know, I have a world here on TheO where I post some fanfics that I write. And while I know that it's not a world that I update very often, I do enjoy writing those stories. So I've been contemplating the idea of getting an account on Fan Fiction.net. Now I know I don't necessarily need an account there, as TheO let's us post fanfics, but it would get my work noticed by more people. For that matter I've also thought about posting some of my wallpapers on minitokyo, but that's a topic for another post.

Now I've been debating on whether I should get a Fan Fiction.net account for a couple of months, and I think now the time has come for some other opinions. So should I, or shouldn't I?

Also, if anybody reading this actually does have an account on Fan Fiction.net, I could use your help in answering some questions. For example once when I was about to browse through some fanfics I read something about the site supporting software called LibeOffice or something like that. Does that mean I need that software to post stories?

Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

New Feature and...?

Well, we now have the new feature that we earned from the challenge slam. I'm not sure how useful it will be at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find out.

There's apparently also some "big news" coming. I'm sure it's good, whatever it is, but I usually get nervous whenever I hear that someone has "big news" to report. o-o

Well, I guess that TheO is starting to go through some changes, and hopefully for the better.
