TheO Headquarters

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.

My quiz got accepted! :o

*throws confetti into the air* Yes, the quiz that I'd thought to be lost to the world has been accepted! It's all in jest, of course, but I really enjoyed writing the result texts and making the images ヽ(^。^)丿

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?

My history with the Doom games

Oh hey there's a Doom category. A long time ago, one of the Doom games (didn't know which then, now I do: Doom 2) made me cry tears of blood because I was too dumb to configure the keys and jump, and I needed to jump to progress in a certai...

They grow up so FAST!

No really, pets seem to grow at an insanely fast pace. Just now I was looking at the pics in my previous turtle post and comparing them to the way she is now, and holy crap: she's as big as my palm! And has bigger claws too, so cleaning time is an adventure, to say the least. We're going to buy her a proper aquarium in a few months. The cutest thing she does is grab dried up shrimp from my fingers. When I hold on to it, she puts her paws (?) on my fingers and pulls the shrimp out <3

Apologies for the shitty pic, my camera has decided it hates me and randomly shuts down. I haven't gotten a new one yet (not a priority TBH). Anyway, she's pretty big compared to this and, if she lives to a year, she'll probably live around 30 years more. I keep telling my mom "that thing will die when I retire", yup.

/old lady gushing over turtle

Uh, in other news, I've been playing Duke Nukem and Doom 2 lately. Let's just say I love Duke's potty mouth - personal favorite: "Your face, your ass, what's the difference?" -, and Doom 2 isn't that bad either.
Now excuse me while I go pick up all the crap my cat knocked down while playing with the dog.

You guys! <3

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! I was overwhelmed, didn't expect to get so many messages XD I know I have some gifts to send out too, and believe me, I haven't forgotten about them~

Um, what've I been up to... Well, this week I'll be taking 3 exams, so most of my time will go into studying, though I hope it won't be too taxing. I can't wait for everything to be over! It kinda sucks when your birthday is so close to finals week, no one can go out on the town, lol. So I have to postpone it until after.

Yesterday wasn't overly exciting, just doing the usual stuff (my mom was extra nice to me, though!). My parents got me my first present in a few years, which was a pair of headphones - the ones I'd received from my best friend a few years ago "conveniently" broke yesterday and I couldn't fix them ^^" The new ones are a bit bigger and it feels like I'm wearing two bowls on my ears, lol.

I guess I'll end it here then. Thank you very much again for the wishes, guys. They truly mean a lot to me :')
