...I'm still alive.

My school schedule this quarter is surprisingly barren, so I've found myself with a lot of free time. I thought I'd use this time to brush up on my tablet skills. The sad thing is that I've owned my bamboo for three or four years, but I've never practiced with it. It still feels clunky to me.

So my massive influx of sudden-posts has been because of this.

I'm not posting art because I think it's amazing, I'm posting it because I need some basic color and line practice and my dA is sadly empty. So expect more not-really-that-great things from me this quarter.

Weeeell :iconazawindam: tagged me, and since I haven't done a journal post yet, I figure why not. Hurrah!

READY

SET

GO

1. You must post the rules.
2. Each person must post 5 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. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No tag backs
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you're tagged if you're reading this". You legitimately have to tag 11 people.


5 things about me:

-I want to work for Pixar after college. They make amazing films and I want to tell stories like they do for the rest of my life.
-I'm from Kansas City, but strangely enough I don't eat barbecue. Apparently we have the best in the world or something.
-I have mild synesthesia, meaning I associate sounds with colors. It's like there's a visualizer in the back of my head that always shows different things to different music... kind of difficult to explain.
-The day that Starbucks decides to serve peppermint hot chocolate all year will probably be the best day of my life.
-West coast swing dancing is the best antidrug ever, srsly. Dancing at least once a week for the past four years has given me all the release I could ever need.



Oookay, so now I guess I get to answer :iconazawindam:'s questions. Here we go.

1. Why do you think you have eyes?
...to see? I don't think there's a specific reason for it, evolution just kind of happened that way.

2. What are your characters of your creation?
Holy dear lord, there are too many to list. You know how there's usually a particular subject that you think about pretty often? Like, while you're walking between classes or sitting in a silent car or just before falling asleep at night? Some people think about philosophy. Some people think about sports or something. I think about characters--who they are, what they would do in that situation, how would they go about their daily lives. That's all I've thought about for the past 8 years. One time, long ago, I tried to keep a notebook of all of them. I couldn't do it.

3. Among the characters, which one's your favorite?
This is gonna sound silly, but a year ago a friend and I were bored and decided to make a story. We invented the character Cade O'Sullivan--a thirty-something telekinetic assassin who's in love with a pretty young waitress who happens to be engaged to someone else. He tunes pianos by day and kills people (with his BRAIN, like a badass) by night. Yeah. I have a huge soft spot for him. He's kind of my baby. I even found this amazing actor for him and everything.

4. If you have a chance to see any person, who would it be?
Any person, huh? I'd want to meet John Lasseter. He's the head of Pixar. Either him or Bill Cone, who did these amazing colorscripts for A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo.

5. If you have a million dollars, what would you do?
Save it for my kids' college funds, like my grandparents did for me. Good lord a college fund is so nice.

6. Like tea? What's your favorite flavor?
I actually don't. It tastes like flavored water, and water isn't supposed to be flavored. But you know what? Since so many people drink it, I always think, "Oh, tea must be delicious," and I forget that I dislike it. So then I continuously try it and remember why I don't get it more often, only to forget again the next time I hear someone talk about tea.

7. Stop! ... Hammer time!
I don't even know what Hammer time is. Or how it's different from regular time.

8. Answer question 3 again if you have a second favorite character.
Well of course I do, I have so many characters. I guess my second favorite is Cade's love interest, who I mentioned above. Her name is Frieda Rosenberg and she's 25, engaged to suave young doctor Max Saberthwaite. She works in a bar that Cade gets his assassin jobs out of, but she doesn't really know he exists. She's down-to-earth and loves life and has an addiction to coffee and wants a pet cat. Overall she's pretty normal, now that I think about it... I guess I just like her because she's the image of purity in Cade's mind, but he'll never be with her because he's too afraid of hurting her and then there's the whole fiancee thing. So eventually he ends up snapping and going on a killing spree and kidnapping her and crazy shit goes down... this story sounds pretty weird now that I type it out.

9. If the world is about to end in one hour, what would you do before you die?
Try to meet up with everyone I know and tell them I love them. Which is pretty difficult, if it's only one hour... can I have a whole day? What if I played the Song of Time and returned the the Dawn of the First Day?

10. Pirates or ninjas?
Vikings! Pillage, rape, pwn.

11. Cats or dogs?
I actually love them both equally, believe it or not.



My questions (I'm gonna be cheap and reuse most of the ones asked of me, because I rather liked them)
1. What's your favorite color? Be specific.
2. Do you have original characters?
3. Among the characters, which one's your favorite?
4. If you have a chance to see any person, who would it be?
5. If you have a million dollars, what would you do?
6. Like tea? What's your favorite flavor?
7. You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind...
8. Answer question 3 again if you have a second favorite character.
9. If the world is about to end in one hour, what would you do before you die?
10. Pirates or ninjas?
11. Cats or dogs?


I really don't have many dA friends yet, so I'm just gonna tag all four of you. Sorry if :iconazawindam: already did that. You should do my quiz instead. ;D
