SARS-08

Hey gang! Long time no speak, at least on this lovely website. I was tired of seeing my old journal, and just had a huge life change, so I figured it was time for an update.
Big news is... I MOVED TO HAWAII! I'm working on a year-long internship down here, and I'm super excited! Unfortunately, this means that I don't have a scanner available right now, so no new art for the short-term. Big change from my current level of posting, right? Hopefully I'll get a chance to draw frequently while I'm here, and I'll see all of you who live at home in 2018.

So. People joke with me all the time that I start just about every sentence with "Ooh, this is my favorite (fill in the blank)", and today I was bored, so I made a list of some of my favorites. I really do love whatever I'm reading/listening to/watching at the moment, but these were just some quickies off the top of my head, in no particular order other than my top 5. XD

There you have it. Call me out if I missed something I love and you know it, but I'm really interested in what you guys love! Tell me your top five anything, make up your own category, whatever, just share cool stuff!

Sooo, my old journal was outdated. Not really much to say- I'll be camping over spring break next week, school's going well, I taught myself to play a jig on the recorder- just want to write a quickie update.XD Erm, oh yes, I might be going to see the Hobbit again as well. Haha, it's fabulous and everyone who hasn't already, ought to go see it! I also was wondering if people are interested in me posting some of the many line-arts I have laying around. I've accumulated quite the mass of unfinished art, much of it cleaned up and ready to color but stalled due to laziness. My bad. Should I put them up here or just wait until they're done? (Don't wanna spam you guys!) Happy early Easter, all!

With my life, that is. Don't worry, folks, I don't blame you for my miserable lack of updates here.XD Aaaaanyway, just wanted to say that I got my driver's license today, registered to vote, and to be an organ donor! A big step up for me, Huzzah. College is going swimmingly (how are all my college peeps doing anyway? Ali? Alex? MT? Anyone else I hardly get to see once we're all sucked back into academics?), mostly because I've been focused on reading the Silmarillion instead of grumping about my DEADLY MATH-TASTIC semester. MU Marching Band will be performing on the 15th at Opening Knight at HHS, and (hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen) the MU football team won their first game this season! I know, I was surprised too. I'll hopefully be uploading some art soon, and my doodling is back in full swing (don't tell my professors) so you may all see some of that in the future. Right, hope everything's grand for you guys and I'll hopefully see you all around.

Tenzin. How did such a perfect man produce Milo. What.
