Yup. First journal entry here.

Anyway, I started this account over a year ago now, and think I should be more active here. Seriously, I log in so rarely I always have about 100 or so updates to catch up on, and it must be annoying for people who send me a message and then have to wait for weeks for me to reply. So hopefully I be online here more often from now on.

Also, after much thought, I've decided to start uploading fanart here too. I was originally planning on making a second account to keep my fanart and original work separate, but decided it's probably best to just focus on one account.

My brother and I have also planned a couple of animation projects, which you can expect to see hopefully in the next couple of months. If not... then you can expect to see them sometime after that.

And now... the nerd quiz! Which I totally stole from 's journal.
