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.

Quick post before the void eats me up again!

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?

Meme: 11 questions (yeah, me too XD)

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. 4...

Holiday and the likes [warning: picspam!]

Well, now I'm on holiday in Mamaia (Romanian seaside resort) and, fortunately, enjoying sweet, sweet Internet access. Only downside is that I can't really make graphics since the color settings are very different from my monitor and I don't want t...

TV show chronicles

Sooo, anyone here watch Game of Thrones? I did, about a month ago, and for a week I just couldn't stay still. I am positively giddy at the prospect of a second season, but not so giddy because it's in freakin' April. Seriously, LOOK AT IT *cries* I can't wait for it but I probably won't be able to see it since it'll be close to exam period. Bah, who am I kidding, I'll probably watch the hell out of it anyway XD If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at that kickass intro and music. For me, it was love at first sight. Now to see if I can mooch the books from my best friend <3

And now they also pushed the first Dexter episode from the 25th of September to the 2nd of October. GREAT. If the 6th season isn't as poor as the 5th, I'll be a happy camper.
And I also finished Spaced a while ago, definitely recommended if you like British humor and clever geek pop culture references c: Am considering staring The Office and Black Books.

So, what TV shows are you currently following? c:

Bored of writing the same intro, skipping ahead!

Today was pretty fun, considering the fact that it was supposed to be a day dedicated solely to studying for my Maths exam on Monday ^^" And that's because I didn't study at all! Nico came over and was supposed to help me, but we ended up doing something completely different: somehow, I managed to distract her with the letters Mary (other best friend) and I sent each other 6 years ago 8D To explain it a bit, we had the same English tutor and got to know each other through letters that she would "deliver"...despite the fact that we live across the street from each other ^_^" Yeaaah, not much logic there. It felt strange to re-read them: the first ones were so formal and mostly about school and grades, while the latter ones were very informal and about boys and music :P

Anyway, I came across these because I had to clean my room after some people came and installed new windows. Literally. I took a photo and filtered it a lot so you can actually see what they look like:

One thing that I absolutely hate is that the building is being rehabilitated and workers will be constantly moving up and down floors, outside my window, which means zero privacy =_= For at least a month, if I understand correctly. At least most ~~porn~~ yaoi is manga, so no worries about pants and grunts being heard XD I'm also lucky that my monitor isn't facing the window, though I have a feeling I'll be creeped out to see random people in front of my window (this is the fourth floor after all =3=)

I got another exam result: I passed Management Law with an 8 out of 10! Now if only I studied for it in the first place, I wouldn't have had to retake it =3= Meh, this laziness will be the death of me, if I live 'til 2012 anyway. And to wrap this post up, here are two Koisuru Boukun icons I made; I was going to post them once I'd made more, but it doesn't seem like that'll happen to soon so here they are ^^" I need to pick some projects up again, lately I've been "working" solely for others (challenge entries, gifts, prizes) and neglecting my own stuff, though I do use this excuse to procrastinate since I dread learning to make stuff like fire and water >_< If anyone has tutorials to share, I'd be most grateful.
