Well, Art has taken a backseat to my career gols of becoming a Japanese Translator, sadly.

I love to doodle still, and do so in my spare time. You should see my poor notebooks, haha~

I recently went on a trip to Japan for three months, and spent some wonderful times there making friends and going places while studying the language. It definitely changed me a lot, coming back here I felt I knew where I truly belonged now. It's a weird feeling to go somewhere and feel like you fit... everything feels right. I have been in this town now for 14 years, and it feels stifling, a burden. I'm no fan of the majority personalities that inhabit the town, but have been graced by saving souls in my comrades in similar study. Without them by my side, I would definitely be miserable; or sadly to say, dead.

I am working on getting back to Japan for further study this summer for another three months; hopefully with accruing of funds I will be able to go, and with luck on my side... find a job. At this point finding any job in Japan would lead to happiness. I know staying there would help my becoming Native in the language at an exponential rate, and that is best for my dreams of translating. No degree can hold a candle to being natively fluent.

Im sorry for never posting anything, especially to people who watch and favorite the items I have put up before. It may be sparse, but I still want to put up any tidbits I randomly scribble. People might not want to see them, but they were for my enjoyment, I just want to keep them in a safe place I suppose~

If any of my longtime/old friends who I have not kept in contact are reading this; know that I think of you, constantly. and I still love you very much.



Sounds like a farewell speech, geez. Nothing of the sort I swear!
