Not entirely sure when my reaction to Due South went from "This show is hilarious oh my god Ray Vecchio YOUR SHIRT" to "THIS SHOW IS AMAZING AND I WANT TO CAPSLOCK OVER IT FOREVER". Perplexing! (But not necessarily a bad thing.)

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers, fannish or otherwise. It can be anything. And I will answer them all, possibly with pictures.

I drew this for dA, but I don't really advertise most fandoms I was/am into there so I figured it'd be fun to post it on lj too.

The point (if there is a point besides letting me indulge in fanart) is to see how many of my favorite characters you can identify. I will say that if you know me at all, I am extremely predictable when it comes to picking favorites.

(

adraekh , I am looking at you.)

( cut for size )

1.) Webcomics! Evan Dahm's webcomic Order of Tales has recently come to an end, so maybe now would be a good time for you to check it out! It has some pretty fantastic worldbuilding and storytelling, and his inking is gorgeous. And while you're there, you might as well read his first story set in the same universe, Rice Boy, as well. They're two of my favorite webcomics ever, so do give 'em a whirl if you're looking for something to do.

2.) China! So for the past month, I've been in Shanghai interning at an ad agency. My job was to draw up storyboards for campaign pitches. (And occasionally, run to my boss's restaurant to fetch him some wine. That was kind of hilarious.) But since you don't need storyboards for every pitch, mostly what I did was sit around and bum around the Internet, and sometimes it got so boring I would reread my old Jython code. I reread old codes I wrote for homework. Clearly, I was losing it. Anyway, my internship is over, and now I'm chilling out in my hometown, eating lots of noodles. Noodles make me happy.

3.) Meme!

t_lyrical asked me five pretty awesome questions, and here are my answers.

Leave a comment saying "SET PHASERS TO STUN" and I'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity. Update your journal with the answers to your questions. Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.

( answers! involve many shenanigans. )

First, happy Chinese New Year! Second, I love filling out memes, they're a fantastic way to procrastinate on schoolwork.

1. Describe one of the best days of your life so far.
Haha, ummm, pretty much any time when my friends and I get together at someone's house and hang out for the night :)
2. What would your dream house be like?
I dunno! Cool? I haven't really thought about it, haha.
3. How many neckties do you own?
Three
4. What's your favorite extreme sport?
SLEEPING
5. If you owned a farm what kind of farm would it be? (like what crops or livestock would you have)
Dude, my farm would totally be like the one I have in Harvest Moon.

( Mostly original, one of friend's OCs )

Oh shi - I'm terrible at this meme thing, aren't I? I keep forgetting to go on lj because of the GREAT FIREWALL we've got over here.

Let's compress the past three days and finish this meme up!

1.) FAMILY REUNION OH GOD. It was only my mom's side of the family, but there was still so many people akshdasd;

Okay, I seriously don't remember what happened two days ago, so LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY
2.) I met up with my friend, whom I haven't seen in 2 years
3.) We watched danceoffs on her television. The teams had names like "foot style rockers" (I don't even KNOW), "x-power" and "dragon style". Dragon style won! (Well, they had some pretty sweet breakdance moves, not going to lie.) At least it wasn't the foot style rockers.
4.) We ate lunch, and it was delicious. When is Chinese food not delicious? I'm getting fat, haha
5.) Then we wandered around together, which was fun
6.) She forced me to eat some stinky tofu and in the end I got addicted to that stuff, haha
7.) We ate Korean-style BBQ for dinner!
8.) And today I finished another portfolio piece. Only one more left!

So um, I still haven't done those five sketches OTL;; B-but worry not, I will as soon as I get back to the U.S.!

And tomorrow I'm leaving for Shanghai, so I won't have a computer to use for a while. The next time I get back on lj I'll post some pictures ~~all of my baby cousin~~ :)

Last but not least, happy new year! Or happy "niu" (cow) year as some Chinese people are saying LOL Chinese-English puns, I approve.

Meme time!
1.) I bought little keychain gifts for my friends!
2.) I bought a bunch of random jewelry-type thingies for myself
3.) We got some popcorn and my grandma and I ganbei'd each other with the empty tubs.
4.) Mmm, lunch was delicious.
5.) My grandma bought some dough balls stuffed with sugar and covered with sesame seeds. Yummy!
6.) I found a plaid jacket that was super cool and purchased it.
7.) There was a big sign on one of the buildings that said "MODERN BOSOM FRIEND" in English, fft I love engrish
8.) I was actually able to read a good many of the Chinese characters I saw today!

Random dream babbling! I had one where Demyx was playing piano in a fancypants mansion and Mickey Mouse was holding a meeting with the fairies from Sleeping Beauty in one of the rooms.

Then Axel and Roxas walk out and asked me what was going on in the rest of the house, and I think I said something like "yeah, someone didn't close the lid on the baby grand." Whereupon Demyx said "IT WASN'T ME MAN" and jumped down the stairs.

OKAY SO I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD DREAM. Mostly the Demyx part, yeah. (Hush, you.)

Yeah, lj's blocked in China. I'm using a circumventor site but there's still a few issues, so I'll see if I can reply to all your comments after this.

MEME THING
1. I arrived safe and sound in China!
2. I ate some lamb kebab-type thingies and these noodles that you can only find in my hometown. OH, HOW I HAVE MISSED THEM
3 My mom bought me a new coat! It looks pretty cool. I'm loving it so far.
4. I saw my baby cousin, who is just about the cutest, fattest thing ever
5. There was a DVD that said "SAVE YOU MY WIFE" on it and it made me laugh
6. My grandma gave me a bright yellow cup for my toothbrush, and a blue towel. Heehee, I think they're cute
7. I CAUGHT A FEEBAS, FINALLY. Then I caught around seven more to make sure I got one with the right nature //dorrkk
8. dA's not blocked in China anymore!

So all the girl BFFs here walk around with linked arms and stuff, which I totally expected, but then the GUYS started doing it too. And then I noticed some of them were wearing MATCHING JACKETS and then it was just me going "WHAT the heezy."

To be fair, it was probably because the shopping center we were at was frickin' crowded on Christmas Eve and they didn't want to get lost, but it still doesn't explain the MATCHING JACKETS (and the fact that they apparently go out shopping together at night???)

Well, maybe I'm overthinking this. Everyone's pretty physical in China.

Merry Christmas everyone! (dude, it's like I'm telling you that from the FUTURE)

I got tagged by

narwalicorn to do this, so here we go: The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.

Um, I don't think I know 8 people, so I'll just tag

everkitsune ,

namazun , and

amiko_16 !

1. I went to my friend's house for a massive sleepover yesterday and didn't go to sleep until 6 in the morning.
2. We played Mafia and Apples to Apples
3. We messed around with various silly things
4. Someone brought over the Rise of the Darkrai Pokemon movie for the lulz, which had some pretty flippin' sweet backgrounds. I think Darkrai is secretly Batman, teehee
5. We ate birthday cake from a Korean bakery since it was one of my friends' (friend's? Friends's?) 18th birthday. Mmm, cake.
6. Today I ate a warm soft pretzel <3 (oh god, so many things on this list will be about food lol)
7. I bought a new messenger bag to bring with me to China! It has plenty of space for all my books and stuff
8. We went to a Italian restaurant for dinner (See? Food.)

I miscalculated about the TWEWY thing. We're leaving for China tomorrow, not Tuesday. The pain! I'll have just missed the delivery! Teardrop!

( moar sketches )

Man, I hope lj works in China :/ Fingers crossed!
