10 things about me...
1.  I am incredibly boring.
2.  I make Count Orlok look like a strikingly handsome fellow.
3.  I was born in Arizona, but I now live in the fresh, pine-scented petri dish known as Oregon.

7.  I sometimes forget that I'm an adult.
8.  I don't like working in sketchbooks.
9.  Pizza is my favorite person.

Questions to answer...
1.  Is my loony bun fine, Benny Lava?
Minor bun engine made Benny Lava!
2.  My name's Professor Layton, and this is crazy, but here's a puzzle, so solve it maybe?
Fine, but if Carly Rae Jepsen starts singing, I'm out of here.
3.  Ever heard of XTC (the band)?
They're tied with a few other bands as my favorite band!
4.  Why did you put me on your watch?
Artwork!  And...Friendship!  And...and...being tagged!
5.  Do you think Welsh accents are fit? (I bloody do)
Anyone who does not should be thrown out of a moving bus!
6.  Blonde or brunette?
I prefer hair colours not visible to the human eye.
7.  Favourite band?
It's an even split between The Chameleons (UK), XTC, The Damned,Type O Negative, and Suede (although the list just keeps expanding).
8.  Famous crush?
Hmm...no horrendous industrial accidents come to mind at the moment (har har).
9.  Weird crush? (Don't worry, mine's Johnny Knoxville... I know...)
Hmm...I can't think of a single person...Hooray for being boring!
10.  Favourite game?
Let's see, there's R-Type, Medievil, Jumping Flash, the Katamari games...

My questions...
1.  While vacationing in Washington D.C. (I don't know why you'd want to do that either), you accidentally drive your car through the White House and run over the president.  What do you do?
2.  Which would you rather win: 6 tons of Beef Jerky, a beach house made of ice, a car that runs on orphans, or a filthy mop made of solid gold?
3.  A bird in the hand may be worth two in the bush, but how much is a bird with hands worth?
4.  If you had to destroy an entire portion of the Earth, which one would you choose and why?
5.  Are persuasive or expository essays more flammable?
6.  Which planet looks the tastiest?
7.  Which apocalypse scenario do you think would be the most survivable?
8.  Fill in the blank:  "I couldn't ______ if my life depended on it!"
9.  If you were trapped on a desert island for an indefinite period of time, what item would you bring if you could only bring half of it (e.g., half of a computer, half of a refrigerator, half of a cell-phone, etc.)?
10.  What was that noise just now?

I know this is not shocking to any of you, but for now, I'm officially taking a break from Deviantart.
Why?  Well...mainly because I am (and have been) taking a break from art.  The murderer in this whodunit is ironically art itself!  An art class I took at school has completely exhausted my dedication to the subject, and--well--I'm just far too lazy to draw anything.
I think it's like poetry; you can only be good at it when you're in a lousy mood and need cheering up.  Lately I've been profusely happy--shocking, I know--and I haven't felt like drawing.
Once I ultimately figure out what is sapping my motivation, I shall try to improve it.

So I apologize to the few who actually followed my artwork.  Hopefully I will upload some things soon, but until then, I must bid Deviantart farewell!

    ~Farewell! ~

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I posted a journal entry.

Well, for the past few days of my life, I haven't felt miserable!  I recently created a facebook page and I have contacted a lot of my old friends!  It is truly shocking how such a seemingly small thing has improved my mood!  I'm more confident at school and best of all, I feel more imaginative!  On top of all of that, we just got a new PSP!  I feel great!  Hopefully I'm on the track to resuming where I left off (back in 2006).  I'm still stuck in Oregon, but at least I can talk to the greatest friends I've ever had!  Woohoo!  I'm as giddy as a child on Christmas!

To start this journal, I'd like to say that things are more balanced now.  I've been working on some new things (Mainly games) and I have been playing games as well.  I recently got the original MediEvil game, R-Type Delta, and both of the Jumping Flash games for the PSP off of the PSN. (Playstation Network)  I have also been playing TF2 (Team Fortress 2) A lot.  I already have all 7 of the new weapons :D

I also purchased a regular Rubik's 3 X 3 cube.  ITS ADDICTIVE!  It takes me just over a minute to solve it.  Hopefully I will be getting some more Rubik's products for Christmas.

There was a hint as to what my next picture will be somewhere in there ;)

It's hard to believe it's been over 2 months since I last posted a journal.  I find it even more difficult to believe that Christmas is almost here!  (And that Hanukkah has ended)
I have NO IDEA when Kwanzaa is, so Happy Holidays to you mixed cultures/religions!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

NOTE: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WISH TO KEEP A 100% HAPPY HOLIDAY SPIRIT.


I REALLY hate writing these segments, but I feel obliged to this time around.

UNFORTUNATE RANDOM DEATHS OF THE WEEK:

Brittany Murphy:  Died on Sunday at the age of 32 from currently unknown causes.

Kim Peek:  Died on Saturday at the age of 58 from a Heart Attack.


For those of you that do not know who Kim Peek is, he is the  Savant that inspired the film "Rainman."
