Half a year has gone by, and I have accomplished close to nothing.

NOTHING compared to the people around me. At this rate, I'll fall behind come 14.

On a brighter note, due to not drawing, I got better grades in school.

yuh-yey.

I've actually been banned from drawing at all *snarks* I'm not even supposed to be on this site. I've roleplayed more...is that a good thing, or a folly?

Now for a rant. No, you don't have to read this, yes, you are going to read it anyways. It's the case with most things-wait, I have to save that for the actual rant, don't I?

I've noticed that Deviantart is an oxymoron. A lot of the people draw quite similar to each other. Today, I drew an anthro guy. It looked like something *Fawxe would draw. It scared me. Am I falling into this void of stereotypicalism because I have been looking at such deviations for too long? What have I done with my own original style? Have I been drawing too many other people's styles to focus on my own style? Come to think of it, I draw more anime than my own drawings. Ah yes, the pros and cons of being on DA. Great tutorials, but horrible originality. I'm not saying readers, that it is bad to have a style similar to others. It's just the orientation, patterns, and composition of it that erks me. How many reflecting person backgrounds have I seen in the past month? 10? 20? What kinds of pictures that really stand out other than just someone posing have I seen? Maybe 1 in the past two months? I don't know...

Everyone also has writing patterns the same. I'm just frankly tired of the "" "" and other facial expressions. True, they do express your feelings. However, it gets plain annoying after the two hundredth time (and I'm not joking either). I'm trying to cut down, but somehow it doesn't seem sincere enough to not put emoticons in there. A lot of people also talk like if you poked them, they would explode and apologize quickly, or come back and flame. I've never actually done it, but I am inclined to try (but, I won't. My morals go strongly against it.)

Now, the issue with comments used to be chatspeak (and it is now, but less so). Now, people have overruled it an now classify as "Chatspeak haters" (in my terms). The issue recently has been Japa-merican speak (ex. Kawaii desu! Onee chan! and other outlandish phrases that get repeated over and over and over again). Now, people are starting to become "Japa-merican haters" (in my terms). Then, there comes a stereotype with "Japa-merican haters". So it seems always when a large group of people have those certain motives, and obsess over it, or talk about it. Quite interesting, you can never not have a stereotypical trait it seems. I am sort of a stereotype, just one that is less common among others.

I have a skin rash thing. It started out like a harmeless zit, but the orientation was off. It was on my ankle. It then blossomed into a beautiful yellow pus-covered thing. I have it all over my body now. On my face, arms, legs, and back. To top it off, the doctors still don't know what it is even after I went to the dermatologist.

I just scrolled down to the bottom, and noticed that I can "Enjoy ANY Journal Skin for FREE!". Thus, my train of thought was disrupted, causing me to forget what I was going to put down. No worries, more complaints will come in due time, in due time.

Now for the Journal Skin...
