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.

Hello, hello everyone! I'm (sort of) back for a little while, at least until next week >_< Uni has literally sucked out all creativity and desire to do anything but shoot something in video games. I've missed a lot of birthdays and for that I am truly sorry, I know they were the birthdays of dear friends and I feel really down for not even being there to say a "happy birthday". I apologize again and hope you will (somehow) forgive me for being such a shitty friend yet again *bows*
Uh, to present the situation... This month and especially this last weekend have been positively hectic; homework, an oral and written exam for Spanish, written exam for English, project for Pragmatics, an anthropological study and a museum opening *wheeze*
Furthermore, I'm not sure how things in other countries/colleges work, but here we rely mostly on Yahoo! Groups to communicate and there was a major shitstorm on one of them last Friday because of the date of the English exam; people were complaining that it was supposed to take place on Friday, which is abnormal since most people who choose distance learning either have jobs or a college on the side. Guess who had to fix it? Yup, lil' ol' year rep me. Then an idiot got on my back and I had to deal with her, but the most amusing part was conversing with the ones who were on my side, in private: they were all outraged at how irrational this woman was - long story short, it was a mixture of entertainment and bone-crushing fury. It feels nice to have someone watch your back, though c:
All in all, I'm pooped, stressed, pissed off most of the time and have been known to develop really bad and crude jokes lately. And laugh at stuff only 5th graders would laugh at. And live on a steady diet of Coke and coffee. Yeah, not the best company ._. Is uni taking its toll on you as badly as this?
1. You must post these rules.
2. Each person must post 11 things about themselves in their journal.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.

Yesterday I was watching Nostalgia Critic's review of "The Room" again, for maybe the 4th time, and laughing like a loon in my empty house. I scared my cat away a few times too >_> It NEVER gets old. But one would have to be...non-human to NOT laugh at that...thing. Oh, and against my mental notes and warnings, I visited TVTropes, Cracked and Reddit again; there go a few hours I'll never get back. But it was oh so worth it.
I'm still playing Sims 3, trying to NOT have my 11th-generation family be error 12'd to oblivion. And waiting for Pets, which will hopefully entertain me. What with the save file getting to 480 freakin' megabytes and all, the logical solution would be moving the family to a new town and starting over; it's just that I've invested so much in this town and have been playing it for almost 6 generations (had to move from the first one because of the same problem) and I've come to like all the relationships and sims in it ;_; Even though roughly 80% of the town is related to my family and, thus, somewhat inbred. I still love them, though :D
Other than that, I like to pass my time with this:
Because nothing's more entertaining than shooting Nazis and robot!Hitler.
And priests hurling fireballs out of their crotches. Also, DOS <3
Aside from that, not much has been happening lately. I'm mostly just enjoying my last days of freedom before second year starts, but I've already got some good news: there aren't as many classes as last year and the only class on Friday is English...which I won't be attending because I handed in my CAE and will get a 10 for the entire course without having to step a foot inside that class.
Naturally, I'm getting it fair and square...and "three-day weekend" has a nice ring to it too, doesn't it? :3
