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.
Seriously, there were -10° Celsius outside yesterday afternoon and the trees are coated in a 1-2 cm thick layer of ice, so they make a creepy sound whenever the wind blows through the branches. Never mind not falling and breaking something on the ice, now 80% of the time I'm outside is spent on preparing to dodge falling trees =___= A tree from another block's garden fell yesterday and left the poor unfortunate souls without cable and Internet access *shudders at the thought*
Other than that, I have 3 exams tomorrow and the day after (yes, 3 exams in 2 days) and 300+ pages to read =.= Needless to say, I feel even more lazy than usual about it. But meh, once this is over, the biggest dilemma I'll have is choosing between Sims 3, Quake 4, Portal and Doom3 since, unfortunately, I can't play all of them at the same time.
I am a happy camper. I'm still not done replying to all the gifts and messages because I was even busier than before, running around for projects - and singing my lungs out with the girls after we got together yesterday (who wants to hear me sing "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera? :D Recorded it a little while after the meme because for some reason I lurve recording myself now). After that, I get this:
SNOW. IT'S. ABOUT. TIME.
Then I found this (OMG TheO has a Kamelot category :o)
KAMELOT, Y U NO COME TO ROMANIA? ;A;
ROY KHAN, Y U LEAVE KAMELOT? (OK, he had legitimate reasons, but STILL)
I'm training to perfect both the growl and the normal singing c: My neighbors are in pain, I suppose.
P.S. Here's a trick: if you want a Youtube video to play on loop, just add "repeat" after the "youtube" part in the URL. Like this~
Guys and girls, you are all amazing, seriously. After a tiring day at uni I come home to find my inbox full of comments and gifts and PMs and I'M TEARING UP NOW OH GOD THANK YOU. YOU'RE FULL OF AWESOME AND I WOULD BAKE YOU ALL A BISCUIT CA...

The Assumption Song is here
The other one is here (music video included!) c:
"Really really nice!! Her face looks innocent,but if you take a look at her hand...! Nice! Nice! Nice!" (12/11/05) Three Four times the n00bness. Also, out of context...this sounds really creepy (I don't even know the context, the links are the old format - now we have the title of the wall included in the links).
"OOOOH!!This one is just so cute,calm & serenic! I love you for making it!" (01/02/06)
..."serenic"? *facepalm*
"Love is in the air...with a beautiful sunset background. VERY good work!" (01/02/06)
Hellooo Engrish!
"I absolutely love it! Darkness & feathers...the best way to express feelings!" (01/02/06)
You know, like people normally do! I also seemed to have an aversion to the word "and" סּ_סּ
"Hi hi! So cute & evil! Good work! She's so cute! Lovely!" (01/03/06)
Spouting! Random phrases! Just for the! Hell of it! Was this the time when we had a quota to fill in order to be able to post? If so...well, you have your answer.
"OOOOOOOH MY GOD like this is sooo pretty!! I'm speechless!!" (01/03/06)
*falls off chair due to the onslaught and abuse of the letter O*
"He's so good looking here that I could just forget he's just a cartoon(*sniff*) and KISS the monitor!" (01/04/06)
Context: from the other comments, I think I'm referring to Alucard. Oh, and I obviously had some issues.
"WOW! Great wallpaper! I believe this is one of the best VHD wallpapers I've seen up to now! ^o^ I love those trees and the full moon in the background! Not to mention the headstones and the leaves! GREAT work!" (04/24/07) [here]
Someone apparently conked me on the head with a rock - what is this verboseness?? (is that a word?) That wallpaper is still pretty awesome though.
The rest aren't really that funny though. That being said...THANK YOU, ADAM, for helping me shake my head in shame and yet embrace the old me! ü YOU DA MAN.
Guys, gimme some of your embarrassing stuff so we can all laugh together! :3
