6-28-09: Many humble apologies that it's been over a year since an update. Things have been hectic lately in my life. First, starting with my group. You see, I'm the President and Founder of a group called WIBJD. Unfortunately, mutany was a-foot, and my "friends" decided that they wanted to take over what I had worked so very hard to establish. Not that I didn't see it coming mind you. I suppose I was naive to think that these people were truly my "friends". Which has left me to take my group elsewhere. I've found who my real friends are, and where we truly stand. Our group has flourished, and though we don't get online much, we visit and speak with eachother more so. It's been a lasting experience on me on who to trust and who not to. And I think, moving away from those people that did what they did, freed me of the poisonous drama that they caused on a daily basis. My conscience tells me I should have informed the people that they mocked so badly in my time with them, but I will let their guilt be their downfall. Why should I involve myself in such activities, belittling myself to what they have surely already become.
Aside from this all, my life has gone through a lot of changes in the past year as well. Some are personal, others are noteable outside of what I hold within. I've learned a tremendous amount about myself in my journey, and am learning so very much more about those I truly care about as well. Things aren't all peachy, but I wouldn't want everything to be "perfect", a perfect life is a boring one, at least, in my humble opinion. I've learned more about who I really am inside, and have learned not to hide things from people. My friends have been amazingly supportive (even one of their mom's!!) of me, and I can't thank them enough for it. I know it was something that was a bit hard to swallow at first, but their jokes and support is something I will always treasure. (thanks guys!) I've also learned what I want to do with the rest of my life. At first, I thought my calling was to teaching elementary school children. 1st grade to be specific, since I'm already on my way as a 1st grade instructor. But after careful consideration, I've decided to follow a dream of mine that I had long forgotten. I'm going to go back to school for Animation and Illustration.
I plan on getting my degree, and looking for work as soon as I can. I want to also hopefully do something in the lines of voice acting! My goal is to have my own cartoon, and be the voice actor for one of the characters! I am still working on my Manga, and hoping to pitch the idea to major networks like "Cartoon Network" and "Nickelodeon Studios". With luck, they will pick it up, and not only will I have a manga, but my own CARTOON! It's been years in the making, but I really want to be certain that it's as perfect as I can get to what I truly want.
Finally, commissions. Please forgive me for falling off the face of the earth. I have NOT forgotten them, truly I haven't. I've been working on them on and off, and unfortunately, lost a lot when I had to reformat my laptop due to a MAJOR virus that was stalking around. It was the first and LAST time I did everything using a tablet and PSP. Unfortunately, the files I saved were corrupted as well, leaving everything to start over again. I WILL be getting back to finishing them up shortly. Things have just been a bit hectic in working and what not, that I'm trying to catch up on time to do so. But please, I have not forgotten about them. I promise you they will be done soon.
Though my life may have changed, my spirit remains the same. I learned something in August of last year from someone.. and I didn't really let it effect me until recently, with another life changing experience coming.. "this too, shall pass". In that, I hope it does. I would not want to live my life in drama. I did that once before (as noted), I will never do it again. I don't need drama mungers in my life (as mentioned before), but rather people that bring joy and happiness (like my friends now!). My life is headed for a new change, and I'm preparing myself for the journey. I know I'm headed for a lot of heartache, but I'm also headed for a lot of joy as well. So, I say, BRING IT ON!! And let les bon temps rouler!! Sore jaa, mata ne minna-san!
