A touch of drabble
Well...gotta make a first entry, eh?
I've been here on LJ on and off for nearly seven years now, but it's time for a new journal and a new name to mark the change of interests, life, everything...
For anyone curious, I'm first and foremost a car nut. I own a GC8 Impreza (for those that have no clue, an old school Impreza similar to a WRX...'classic' for those in the states). His name is Shale - yes, he has a gender...for anyone that has driven a car hard, they will know that a car has a personality. Shale's is male...without a doubt. As for the name - the car has been resprayed Blue Steel, which is a slightly lighter variant of gunmetal with a blue hue to it. Understated yet stunning.
Just recently however, I have become a PotC nut. As with all past interests I'm drawn to the 'bad guy' that seems to have a whole lot more story to him than even the good guys. Davy Jones has to be one of the best-written, most thorough characters I've seen in years. Definitely an instant favourite of mine, sitting alongside Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series.
As a graphic designer (of three years...yeah an old bastard here. Lol. 21, ya whipper-snappers), I have a knack for anything computer-graphic-related (mmmm photochopping) and also specialise in art...painting, drawing, etc.
Unfortunately the car addiction...and expensive mods, both in time and monetarily...have stolen precious practise time from my painting/drawing/etc development and I am RUSTY AS. Oh well. There's a large canvas with Davy Jones smattered across it in my dining room...hope it doesn't turn out like arse.
If I'm not wasting time modding the car (have a VERY expensive 6MT gearbox to go in shortly...short shifter, DCCD, good for 800hp...you get the picture. Along with that is Brembo brakes...bigger than your head!), wasting time wasting tyres and petrol, or attempting to paint/design something...I'm writing fanfiction. Expect some Davy Jones goodness once I'm done writing my arse off for Initial D...
Anyway...nothing wrong with having another rant-spot. For anyone watching me from a PotC community, I apologise, as most of what I write is about cars, about car fandoms, about Subarus, and again...about cars. Mmmmmm, Subie burble.
*cough*
