okie dokes, its been a while because I am guilty of not checking DA often, so :iconzetsumeiongaku: decided to paint me again.
like, on my back I assume since I can't see it.
I also have no recollection of being "tagged" so I assume it was after being knocked unconscious or something of the sort.
again.

Five things about this guy- 
- I'm rather lazy - I don't upload or produce that often nor as often as I'd like 
- I have two dogs - Peanut and Jelleh (or Jhelly) both are a pain in the arse but are adorable so they stay 
- I have been frequently mistaken to be African - turns out I'm Mexican, everyone passes 5 bucks to the one gal who guessed it right the first time (friend of mine's sister did, still not sure how, convinced she's psychic)
- I have a fear of being over-estimated, as well as under-estimated for some reason
- I saw Pacific Rim twice - worth it. 

so some questions for me to answer so that I can regain a valid DA soul 
  1. Is there something you loved to do as a child that you still do now?
  2. What/Who inspires you?
  3. Have you ever been in a life-threatening situation? If yes, D: what happened?
  4. What pleases and what irks you about people?
  5. What do you pride yourself on most of all?
  6. What, if anything, would you like to have happen to you the next time you walk out the door?
  7. Do you believe in fate, and why?
  8. Have you ever regretted meeting someone?  If yes, who and why?
  9. What is your main motto, or principle for living?
  10. If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?
  11. What is the most "extreme" thing you've done in your whole life? (so far)
ah crap these actually require me to be interesting..

  • Is there something you loved to do as a child that you still do now?
-Video games, done next question.
oh fine
also cheesy movies, (Starship Troopers is still one of my favorites) 
and bike riding, especially since I get around now-a-days via driving, its nice to have more maneuverability and not have to worry too much about which way you go.

  • What/Who inspires you?
-For one, Anthony Burch (wrote Borderlands 2, and HAWP) is a pretty cool guy, I'd say he's an inspiration partly because he appreciates games and their potential for story telling as a legitimate art form.

-I also feel like Mythbusters was a pretty big inspiration for me getting into physics, it's just interesting man.
  • Have you ever been in a life-threatening situation? If yes, D: what happened?
-I don't think I actually ever have been in such a situation, but I vaguely recall some things that felt life-threatening but not really up to the super dangerous scale 
    -friends and I almost got run over by some guy while we were walking to circle k (age 14-15 I think)
    -at a friend's cabin and we thought for sure wasps were going to kill us (probably age 10-11)
    -I thought I plagiarized a thing because fan fiction (age 15-16 I don't remember) 

so edgy right?
I'm a wimp, I know
  • What pleases and what irks you about people?
-pleases
    -when people offer a legitimate rebuttal to a statement, even if it contradicts my point of view
    -when they allow others to turn in front of them because sometimes traffic is a pain
    -when they have a sense of humour (to an extent) 
    -when we can have a discussion about movies and games :icondatclass2plz:

-irks (I like this word)
    -when they can't be arsed to use their blinker 
    -band wagoners - in all honesty I've done it too, maybe that's why it irks me 
  • What do you pride yourself on most of all?
-hehehe....
well, some projects I have pride for, to an extent, they're not amazing but I'm content with the result, mostly school projects, and at that mostly art projects. 
but non-school related; I do feel proud when I clear a game on a high difficulty, or generally do better than normal in a game 
feels good
  • What, if anything, would you like to have happen to you the next time you walk out the door?
-for one, I'd like my truck to not eat all the gas (I'm so sorry everyone) 
but realistically, I'd like to have some confidence that I can actually do stuff today, also not forget stuff, like car keys, ever lock yourself out of your house at 6 am? no one leaves satisfied
  • Do you believe in fate, and why?
-to an extent, or maybe I just like to think that the pieces fall where they may and I have no control over that.
though I do like to think that there is fate, but not all controlling, some things happen, others people need to make happen
  • Have you ever regretted meeting someone?  If yes, who and why?
-just two that I can think of, I'll use alt names just in case
    -[SUBJECT A]
-met this guy in 5th grade if I recall correctly, he seemed alright, but he's rather annoying sometimes, he's a nice guy, but like I said, can be annoying. I try to hang out with him when invited if I have the time partly because friends but also because sympathy. he is a little spoiled and acts it too, which makes it sort of difficult to interact and I feel bad about turning him down :/ 
not quite regret, but maybe a little 
    -[SUBJECT B]
-met this guy in freshman year of high school, he seemed okay at first but over time he just got more cocky, really touchy-feel-y, and full of shit, difficult to work with because ego, difficult to communicate with because ego. I actively avoid him now, don't have the heart to tell him to leave because that would be sort of a dick move on my part, other friends also enjoy his company to an extent so whatevs. 
-only this year did he finally switch schools, which I feel guilty for feeling so good about it, I certainly don't envy him, but I also have little sympathy since he tried little. 
  • What is your main motto, or principle for living?
-"Don't be a dick" -Wil Wheaton
I know the internet is in love with him so it seems like the obvious response, but I still think its a good quote (he's also a pretty cool guy)
admittedly, I can be, and sometimes am a dick, most of the time for laughs because my friends and I do that, but in the past I have been unfairly judging people and in fact I probably still do that now, and I feel bad about it.  
  • If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?
-I wish I had more confidence in general, then maybe I'd do stuff more frequently, or, you know, actually work out or something.
(OR USE LESS COMMAS JEEZE MAN)

-or maybe I just want to be less lazy 

  • What is the most "extreme" thing you've done in your whole life? (so far)
-exhtreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme you shay?
I did 50 in a 40 mph zone once 
also phoenix comic con
also asked a girl out :iconyeahplz:




word of the day - Diction
  1. The choice and use of words and phrases in speech or writing
    • Wordsworth campaigned against exaggerated poetic diction
  2. The style of enunciation in speaking or singing
    • she began imitating his careful diction

can't be arsed to tag because :iconzetsumeiongaku: tagged the people I know who'd be willing to do this 
(what the fun, man) 

[but here's some questions if the three people who read this want to answer it but I won't make you do it that's okay if you don't want to]
  • Favorite recent book?
  • What's one movie you feel like should exist?
  • What is your ideal zombie game?
  • Who is the walrus?
  • What's something you thought was going to be dumb but you ended up liking?
  • Would you rather do live acting, or voice acting?
  • How do you feel about beards?
  • Which was your favorite Matrix movie?
  • Why can't I think of more questions?
[those are all the questions]
[I've had enough of your regulations]

on a somewhat related note concerning the title, i drew some pretty cool stuff that i feel like showing off, ive got somewhat of a chance to fire up the old scanner tommorow, so we'll see

now, on an unrelated note

tagged by :iconzetsumeiongaku:

1→You must post these rules.
2→Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3→You have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4→Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them.
5→No tag backs.
6→No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you read this". You legitimately have to tag ten people.

(well...i dont wanna tag anyone :L  )
(i cant imagine they would enjoy getting spray paint on whatever they are wearing)

1) i have to admit, furry techno is pretty good

2) ive legitmatley screamed like a girl after seeing a roach, and am quite paranoid about them

3) Black Ops multiplayer makes me rage quit, and pretty much killed my Call of Duty "buzz"

4) i still love old disney and kids movies, like land before time and toy story, and still have my toy story 3 ticket stub

5) there is an unfinished rubiks cube that sits on my desk, it countinues to taunt me to this very day

6) i play several nerdy games on a regular basis, role playing games such as Savage worlds, D&D, Dark Heresy, and (although not as frequently anymore) Warhammer 40k

7) i think the most effective weapon you can have (other than a crowbar) is a spoon

8) i enjoy fire, but am surprisingly wary about it spreading/getting out of control

9) this one person who left freshman year early and then came back sophmore year really pisses me off because several friends couldent make it through to next year TT_TT     >:L

10) ill start a project, then go to another to finish it later (procrastination FTW)

-----diclaimer, thar be disturbing content----------

:iconblockatielplz:


ok, well, at the time of writing, it is about 11:41
quiet as hell
im (trying to) get work done :iconepicstareplz:
and, all is well, untill Peanut, the all mighty nut of the P, decides to get up from the bed (mind you, there's a square-ish bed and a round bed, he prefrers the round on, but he was sleeping on the square one)
he just walks by, i saw "hey Peanut! shouldent you be sleeping?"
he decides to walk to the door, stomps his feet around in that cute puppy way he does, and whines, (cuz he's a crybaby  :3
so, i just get up, and get my dad's shoes (which are friggin tiny on my feet) and basically tiptoe outside, where the door is squeaky as hell, two pps are rushing by my feet, and its almost pitch black....
yeah, it (thankfuly) gets better

well, there i am, standing on the pavement, Peanut just waddles off into the darkness, and Jelleh just kind of walks in circles.
then, there was some grass shifting arund a bit, i listen, a small little poot from Peanut's behind  :3
couldent help but laugh

but then, it gets scareh
a few second later, i hear a really loud, wet, fart and then stuff dropping, but, it sounded more of a liquid than a solid  O_o

so yeah, Peanut waddles back, Jelleh damn near knocks me over by ramming the back of my legs, and we re-enter the saftey of the house

then Peanut takes the round bed...
he's a crafty little bastard....
