This is where I'll post my thoughts, opinions, or just things that happened to me.

A little tidbit about me in 270 words:
I am known as various names, but on theOtaku, I go by the username Timcanpy14. I’ll start off with my favourite anime/manga (in no order): Code Geass, Death Note, D.Gray-man, Shiki, and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Outside of graphic desigining and anime/manga, my hobbies include drawing and painting; singing; reading novels, poems and non-fiction; watching movies; swimming in pools, the sea (I love the ocean but sadly, I live far away from the coast T.T); and jogging.

I’ve also made a recent discovery of myself, and that is being a practical person—I’m decent at solving math problems and whatnot but lacking in creativity and originality. What a great reason to be on a creative anime art-promoting website, huh? xD

Let’s move on to favourite colours. Mine consist of various shades of cyan, pink and purple, but it’s not like I absolutely love only those colours and despise every other colour. xD

If you’re like me and have selective memory, I’ll sum it all up for you. In short, the identity of Timcanpy14 can be defined as being an Otaku, having many hobbies, enjoying swimming in the sea, has a practical mind, and finds the shades of cyan, pink and purple pleasing to her eyes.

And that’s all you really need to know about me—or not, because it’s not that important, haha. But if you were—for some reason—curious about me, there it is. Hope that answers all your questions? But if you feel like asking me something, whether it be about myself, any requests for cards/icons, or just want to talk, just shoot me a private message; I don’t bite~

The Hunger Games - My Thoughts

Just got back from The Hunger Games~

I have to say, I was pretty impressed. They kept it true to the novel (about 90%, which is good since not everything in text can be translated visually), had good acting, directing, score, and all that.

The only thing I that I'd say was bad--and I don't know if it's just me--was the CGI. The "fire" on Katniss and Peeta's outfits during the grand introductions of the tributes and the wolf-dog-creature thing (forgot the name...) at the end weren't the best things of this film, but it's still forgivable.

So yeah. If you're unsure whether to go or not and are a fan of the book/s, I recommend that you do go. It's definitely worth the time and money, and I always enjoy having a visual of what I've read.

But yeah, overall I enjoyed it. I'd probably give it around 9.4/10? Some number around that. XD Have any of you guys seen it yet? Are you planning on going to it?

Thoughts & Concerns & a Quote

Hello all! Sorry I've been so inactive lately!

I don't know what to say except that I'm going to The Hunger Games on opening night with a couple friends~ We're all big fans of the books, so we're kinda skeptical of how good the movie will be. I'm hoping it'll mostly stay true to the novel, but I don't know... I mean, the cast looks fine, the trailers/promos and clips seem decent, but I dunno. But I guess you never know until you've actually seen the movie.

I also saw on Rotten Tomatoes that the average of the critics' ratings is 90%, but it may change overtime. (Usually ratings can drop quite a bit, even about a year after its release.) But that is still pretty good, and hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as 90%, if not more.

But yeah, maybe I'll remember to post how I felt about the movie on Friday night (hopefully). XD

A totally off-topic but good quote to finish this post:

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
