I am thinking. And that's a bad thing.
Got a call from my mum saying she'd be in London on Sunday and if she's gona pick me up. My exam finishes on Saturday so normally I guess I would go home. But this is the last year and I won't be able to see anyone anymore. So I don't really wana go home. She keeps pestering me to go home though. She'll always like, "Hope you finish quickly so you'll come home". "Oh why are you saying, its so boring. Like a prison living by yourself" etc.

And that really annoys the hell out of me. Yes I want to finish quickly but that doesn't mean I wana go home. It is not boring because I talk to my housemates everyday. Going home is more like a damn prison. Yes I can do what I want (to an extent) at home. I can do what I want here. Its more boring at home and don't say that its not just because I can talk to you. Talking to you is different than talking to my friends here.

It doesn't feel like I should be 21 soon. I feel like my mind is still trapped at 17, if that. I don't want to repeat my education but going back a little would be nice. I know I need to grow up but I really don't want to.

And right now, going home is the most annoying. I don't know. Listening to my parents saying the same thing over and over and about growing up is really....depressing. I want to live by myself but at the same time I dont. I don't even know what I want to do after this. I have never worked before. So getting the first job is gona be hard on me. Especially with parents pestering all the time. Plus my brothers asking me question about their education and stuff. Ugh. It give me a headache even thinking about it even after like only 5 seconds!

What's worst is that she keep saying that she knows this guy (Well my dad does) and told me I should meet him and stuff. And I get the feeling that even if I say no to him. My mum isnt gona stop there. She's gona keep finding guys for me. And even if I find someone, she's gona complain and stuff. Ugh Don't like growing up, and things are just starting....

And it doesn't help that I just finished watch Nabari No Ou, and the ending made me crying for like half hour. Ugh.

Anyway...talking about other things. Just to get my mind off it.

Been watching DN Angel and I don't know whetehr I want to finish it. I am really confused at what pairing I like....I have an idea of what pairing it will end in but still....So I'm stuck on ep 15 and not sure if I want to continue.

Also started 2 drama series (Wallflwer and In the Eye of The Beholder) but Im not sure I want to watch that right now. (With all the drawing and watching, probably noone would believe that I have an exams in like 4 days..... sweatdrop )

I know I should stop starting new series before finishing the previous. But eh.

Anyways...Anything else I can watch? I know I ask this alot. So sorry if you get annoyed with this question. blaugh

i can kind of see where you're coming from about not wanting to go home. i'm personally actually just leaving home to go to school in the fall, and while my program is only 2 years long, i can't really decide if i would want to move back home when i'm done or actually settle in Ottawa or elsewhere. i want to be independant, stop relying on my parents and whatnot, but at the same time, i'm nervous about whether or not i'd be able to make it on my own.

then again, my parents are trying to get me out of the house. i think i've clung onto them for too long sweatdrop going out into the real world is a scary thing, and that's probably why i haven't been very active in trying to find myself a job. but it has to be done someday, and we can't keep leaning on our parents for help. growing up just a part of life. and besides; who says that you can't still be a kid even though you're out in the real world? there are plenty of people who have figured out how to balance all the fun with the work ^^

anyway, awesome job! i adore the eyes (then again, i have a unexplainable fascination with eyes...) *-* you have such a beautiful method of shading...

hm...suggestions to watch...Axis Powers Hetalia? Baccano? Durarara?

lol. I am also like that with eyes. I sometimes tend to go over the top when doing my own chracter/my own style though. sweatdrop Though the pencil piece that I outlined was alot better since its easier shading in pencil than deciding whether to ink the black whilst trying to shade at the same time but will look darker or using black colour pencil which isn't as dark.

Thank you. My brother doesn't seem to like my shading. Because he always saying that I'm too "scared" to make it darker. So alot of my work are greyscaled. If that makes sense. = P

I am putting off watching Durarara at the moment. But I definately will watch it...eventually.

I know of Axis Hentalia. And I know one of the voice actors, (well quite a few) from other stuff. But I don't really know what it's about. From wiki its like 52 episodes but they are only 5 minutes long?

But I think I might go watch Baccano. That sound quite interesting. -Didn't read past the "demon" part- I'm hooked on demons/vampires/supernatural stuff lately....

XD eyes are mostly how i identify artstyle, and they're fascinating things in the first place. which is kinda why i wish the list of eye tropes on TV Tropes was a little bigger.

everyone does things differently. personally, back when i still drew, i had a tendency to make things too dark sweatdrop it's a lot easier to fix your mistakes on the computer...anyway, i think light shading has its own appeal over darker shading, and even then, different shading styles suit different situations and moods.

i'm actually behind several episodes for Durarara, but that's because i've been streaming it and that takes time to load <.< need to find it on a torrent or something...

yeah, Hetalia's episodes are super short because it's based on a webcomic XP it's kinda hard to really describe it, because i'll either make it sound worse than it is, or better, but i'll try my best sweatdrop basically, it's the different countries of the world personified, originally starting in WW2 focused on the Axis Powers, Italy, Germany and Japan (hence the title), and eventually branching on to focus on other countries like the Soviets, the Allied Forces, and whatnot in different time periods. however, it's not very focused on taking itself seriously despite the world history you're getting, and in fact loves hinting at the potentially relationships the different "avatars" have. and most are male, if you get what i'm saying. personally, i wasn't really that interested in watching it at first for that reason, but it's actually a rather interesting show otherwise and i think it's freaking hilarious because it's just so...out there. i dunno, i'd just suggest to give it a shot. it really grew on me, and i don't normally like series like it XD just out of curiosity, which voice actor? they have a lot of well-known ones as the main cast 3nodding

i LOVED Baccano. i'm seriously depressed i finished watching it, and i really wish they would make a new anime (especially since there's plenty of the original novels to work with). i'd recommend watching it both subbed and dubbed because they did a wonderful job on both (though personally i prefer the Rail Tracer and Claire in Japanese over English). the only thing i would really say against it is that it can be hard to follow at times due to the fact it tends to switch timelines and perspectives at least a couple times each episode. but it's totally worth it when you get to the end of the series. then again, that could just be me still fangirling over it since discovering it months ago and finishing the whole thing in a day 8D but seriously watch it!

Ok. I will take a look at those later.

Um...I know Daisuke....something is in it sweatdrop ...Um...The one that did Soubi in Loveless....(I just know his name starts with a K and I don't know how to spell it without looking it up. xd )
And Hiroki Takahashi. (Only name I remember the spelling. sweatdrop And only one I know who his character is. xp ) There were a few others but since I kept looking up characters' voice actors from so many animes, I don't remember particularly which ones was in Hetalia .... heh ^^"

And alot of them I recognised their name but they not ones I would care enough to remember. ^^" Well doesn't help that half the names I can't pronounce or spell.....

Edit: Watched the first episode of Hetalia. Realised that Yuki Kaida(?) from HunterxHunter was in it as well. =P Don't really know what to think of it yet....Well gona keep watching a couple more.

AnD I need to remmeber that whilst watching anime, in JAPANESE when I have to READ the subtitles, it is difficult to revise/study at the same time.....

First. That picture is amazing. :> You're getting so awesome! I'm proud of you~!!!

Second. I know how you feel... ; n ; I would say maybe you could explain to your mom how you feel, but what's the point. I can't even explain it to my family. I want to move out but I don't have the money and I can't find a job. ; ____ ; Maybe you can get out when she takes you home and visit some friends or something... I wish I could help girl. *hugs*

:0 DNAngel used to be one of my favorite manga/anime. Such a great series. :> I dunno if I finished it though... haha. I think my sister did. razz I think she said she liked the ending. :>

I don't like going home either >_<; I like doing what I want but my family kind of bickers alot so it makes me sad. Plus my dad is kind of mean sometimes and flips over little things x_x; my sister is just annoying. But at the same time I miss my boyfriend so I wanna go home. I do like being at college ^^

It's half and half atm due to what is going on at the school and in my life right now.I just wanna go on summer break already!xD DOn't worry about jobs. Everything will work out dear <3 and if your mom is forcing dating on you just set her down and tell her gently that you appreciate her helping you but maybe she should let YOU find someone.
