I'm a super doodler (week 5)

I think the question you're really looking for is when am I NOT doodling. I'm always doodling, I would say it's something like an addiction,because I've been doing it my whole life. Every day, every class, whenever I can. I mostly doodle manga portraits... I love the style and the fact that I can change up the style whenever I want. I doodle whatever comes to my mind, my mood doesn't really matter. Some days I'll try to doodle but can't doodle anything decent, and I go crazy and scratch it out and agonize over my horrible skills and I question "What's happening to meeeee?" And when I go home I try to draw but nothing works... Then the next day I can draw perfectly normally and I'm just like.. Ah, well, and go on my merry way.
A lot of my doodles involve the human anatomy and a lot of people will look at my papers and be like "What the f***???" and I'll just be like, "Oh... Yeah, I'm drawing breasts... Again... Sorry." And once people get used to my doodles, they'll like see the breasts or butts and just shrug it off like it's normal. Sometimes I'll take doodle requests or I'll sometimes ask for suggestions, and usually it makes people happy which is really awesome!

I need a snuggie (week 4)

I WOULD HATE NOT HAVING A CLOCK OR CALENDER SO MUCH, not only would you not be able to tell when the new episode of your favorite show is coming up, BUT all deadlines would continue on and on and on and on and on--- and you wouldn't get ANYTHING done. You would work on a project for who knows how long, and never give a f*** and sh** doesn't get done. ALTHOUGH, If I had unlimited amount of time to do a project I really hate doing, then wow-- yeah It'd be great! ... I guess it does have a lot of benefits, like: You wouldn't get in trouble for not getting an assignment in by a certain date, you could slack off when you don't feel like doing anything. Society would slow down, as everyone would take their time.. But I feel like we wouldn't last long, though-- because if everyone takes their time when doing projects-- how would enough food be grown, who would deliver it in time, or whatever. People wouldn't rush to finish your shirt that you need dry-cleaned for a date. I feel like, without deadlines-- Society would wither to small numbers and become uneducated gatherers who hung out all day and treated themselves to their own interests..

Week 3

I'm a total expert on manga, I've been reading it since I was about 12 and I've read thousands of books since. Two years ago I think I was at 2000 books, so imagine now-- I cannot. It seems like everyday I read at least 2 or 3 books and If I'm really craving it, I read more.. But wait, what are manga? Well, they're pretty much Japanese comic books. You read them from left to right... You all might know what Anime is, well Manga is the graphic novel version of anime. Most anime comes from manga books.
Are manga books strictly Japanese? No. It was invented in Japan and is now apart of Japanese culture, but the art of manga has also traveled to Korea and China. Koreans call in "Manhwa" and they've even evolved it into what they call "Web toons" which is in manga style but in full color and single paneled.
Isn't Manga all the same? NO NO ONONONONONOO NO. It is not. Firstly every artist has a different style of art AND writing. Secondly, there are hundreds of genres. Romance, Shounen(for boys) Shoujo(for girls), action, fantasy, hentai, yaoi, yuri, one shot, historical, sport, mystery, adult, horror, psychological, adventure, school life, sci-fi, gender bender, harem, smut, tragedy, mature, mecha, and so on. The genres are for different age groups-- for the youngest child to the oldest of adults.
Not everyone is in tune with reading these kind of novels, but if you give it a chance and looks at the different genres and find a book that you might be compatible with-- maybe you'll grow to like it. 'Cause right now it's got a bad vibe, but all in all it's not that bad.
