Trying is the first step towards failure.
Remember when LJ was the place to be, and all of your friends used it and people and comms were updated on an almost daily basis? When you could make even the most insipid of posts and still get 10 comments?
Yeah, I remember those days. What the hell happened to them?
Nowadays, I seem to be spending more time on tumblr, which is just as big a time-waster as LJ ever was. And it's nice to see that my unpopular streak from LJ has continued over there as well. It's so comforting to know that no matter what social networking site I belong to, my popularity will remain consistently low.
Other than that, I've really got nothing to say because my life is that uninteresting. I hate my Java class because I'm terrible at understanding basic computer programming, and I really want nothing more than for March 17th to get here so that I can be on Spring Break and not have to worry about shit for a week. Which is a lie, because I'm sure I'll spend that week attempting to figure out the two scripting assignments I've barely started on. I just want to not deal with school and work for one week.
I've recently come to the realization that the only class I have any interest in is my Japanese class. If I could take nothing but Japanese classes, I would. Unfortunately, that's not possible, so I'm stuck with classes I don't care about just so I can further my studies and get my stupid degree. Such is life.
I was just playing around the other day and decided to practice drawing poses by shamelessly copying referencing another picture, and this is what I ended up with. (Obviously I changed the characters, but the overall picture's almost the same). I changed the guys to Yokozawa and Kirishima from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, since it's probably not obvious.
I used (my very expired trial version of) Sai painter instead of Photoshop, which I had only used once before, and I must say I'm rather pleased with the brush controls it offers. (Must be why faraway-hills uses it. ...Not that I have any hope of ever being even half as good as she is.) Even though I rarely draw anymore, I'm actually kind of tempted to purchase the license for it so I can use all of the functionality it has to offer. It's only something like $65 anyway. Hardly a bad deal!
Oh, and comments, criticism, etc on the pic would be much appreciated, but you probably knew that. :p
And that's pretty much it.
