Welcome to my world.
I'm SomeGuy, 29 years old, residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've studied English Literature, Chinese Martial Arts, and am currently pursuing careers in writing - possibly even in the anime industry itself.
And I work for this site.
And you should be watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
Or watching Ranma 1/2.
Or learning about the Shinsengumi.
Or planning to visit Vancouver, The Best Place On Earth (actual marketing motto).
Here at the "Smallville" page, I have my personal blog where I'll post about anything and everything. If ya need me or otherwise need to know anything from/about me, here's where I'll be.
If you're really looking for my more professional, site-type stuff, you wanna head over my "Metropolis" world.

I still feel horrible that I snicker any time I read news about the idiocy and shame of Activision and its Guitar Hero license . . .
There was the thing where the Deluxe $240 Version got you ...

I totally read Neil Gaiman's "Snow, Glass, Apples" short story the other night. Gaiman's version of "Snow White as told through the eyes of the Queen" was deliciously awesome in the way that vampirism, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia and cannibalism are. I mean, when it's all together; in general, necrophilia is probably not nearly as fun as it sounds. Or it is, and it's just really not that fun period.
Ahem.
No, seriously. I'd link to a place where I found it online, but that'd probably be dangerous. Anyone wanna read, though, I can hook you up, probably. It's pretty badass.
Other than that, I was hoping I could get some quick thoughts from people in the chat about a Halloween submission thingy, only to find that everyone was in a passworded room so they couldn't help me.
Balls.
I ended up declining a few Halloween Writer's Jam submissions today.
I've been really lenient with submissions for this. A lot of stories that I'd otherwise not publish are getting through for purposes of participation for this event. I think it's as good a way as any to get people some Fan Words under their belts . . . but I'm drawing a new line.
I'm seriously seeing things that would basically be the written equivalent of a rough five-minute pencil sketch. Some things that I can't in good judgment allow even as poetic verse that may or may not be "like that on purpose".
So yeah. I'm gonna dial the hard-ass notch up a click.
On to other news . . .
I've begun collection of any boxes I can find for the big move at the end of the month. So far the furniture issue's been good, and I should be able to furnish that little basement suite quite well with just hand-me-down furniture from either this house or my brother's house.
I am wondering how feasible Rock Band parties are going to be with a baby upstairs, but we'll see.
My parents are still not really big on the whole idea, but they're being supportive enough to not put me out on my ass. It's nice enough, I suppose.
Other than that . . . still looking for friends who have trucks. Those might come in handy . . .
. . . . . oh crap, I need to think up a Wednesday Word!!!
Y'know, it's funny . . . after the wedding rehearsal on Thursday, I had it pegged that I had absolutely nothing to do, and that I had the easiest job in the world as the second groomsman. Stephen's brother, the best man, basically did all the tri...

I need to be at a wedding today, so I won't stay up too late writing this post.
Yesterday, Alexa and I met the daughter of my mother's friend. They're renting a basement suite out in Vancouver, and my mom had the connection. We've hooked it, and will be moving in next week or so . . .
. . . also yesterday, my mother fully learned my desire to move out . . .
. . . with Alexa and her mom there to see it . . . . .
. . . . . sooooo yeah . . . . um . . . not my shiniest moment . . .
Anyway, wedding. We'll talk more later.
