Oh right, this is a thing I used to update

Wow, okay, I guess it's been over a full year since I mucked about on Livejournal. Wild.. I can only assume those who are still watching me have either moved onto Tumblr (WHICH I CAN'T- IDGI EVERYTHING IS SO CONFUSING AND I'M OLD) or forgot ( Read more... )

Thanks so much! What's been new with you? :D

I am back at college ... again ... and rolling around in the Avengers fandom. With ludicrous shit like a fic where everyone in Thor is a Pokemon.

Yay school! (Right? That's a yay?) And awwww, Is he a Pikachu? :D

Welcome back? XD
Tumblr is horrible with having a sense of community!! XD You can't really have a discussion on the tumblr but just like and reblog post. I don't think I've even gotten know too many people from there.

Congrats on all your successes with school and your film~!!!

I don't think I've seen your drawing since I was in school. I still haven't watched Les Miserable!! Only remembered listening to it when we driving up to the Zoo and you explaining the story ^^

Now get back to drawing! :D

Hahaha thanks! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of getting active on LJ again.

I- man, tumblr just seems crazy to me right now. I get the impression that a "community" on tumblr basically amounts to tagging your post, and then a bunch of people follow that same tag? I mean I've definitely noticed some repeating names on a given tag, but otherwise it doesn't seem like a system that encourages much of a sense of intimacy. (I'm sure I just haven't spent enough time there and I'm totally wrong, but that's been my initial impression.)

I feel like I haven't been drawing for just personal/fandom fun or whatever since portfolio review!! D: I don't know what happened to me, I just couldn't get my head back into it (unless I was stuck at an artist alley table and had a little downtime to doodle). Anyway, you should check out the new Les Miserables movie if you have time! It's a pretty lavish film, lotsa BIG FEELINGS and stuff. HAHA I totally remember telling you about Valjean/the main character's backstory too! (What was ( ... )

Super many congrats on all of your achievements in the last year!! It really sounds like you're coming out of school with a bang given the Annie Award nomination. I hope that gives you a nice shiny feather in your cap for when you apply to the major studios. On a random but similar note, I was thinking about you re-watching Howl's Moving Castle recently and the bonus material with Miyazaki visiting Pixar. Lasseter was adorable how excited he was to see Miyazaki, and I was wondering what your reaction would have been ( ... )

Ahhh thank you :) I feel like with all my solo portfolio work from school that I ended up allowing to slide in order to keep holding things together on the film (plus doing animation supervision on another short film at the same time in my last semester as well)... I'm just glad something's happening with the film if my personal work had to take a backseat to it, y'know? Hope it looks good on the resume too. OH MAN, if I met Miyazaki?? I think I'd actually just freeze up and repeat what would be something cool/grateful to say to him in my head. And then he'd be gone before I had the change to go up and say something. 1000% what would happen ( ... )

terrayndian January 27 2013, 00:15:02 UTC

*laugh* It always sounds like you let yourself get mixed up into too many projects. At least you placed your focus in the right area for the film to get nominated. I'm still so amazed and happy for you! Haha, at least you would be probably thinking if you met Miyazaki. I think a phrase of "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god... wait, what is that in Japanese?" would be cycling through my head ( ... )

vejiicakes January 28 2013, 07:49:34 UTC

I have a hard time saying no to things. But also I was offered an opportunity to go to New York for a week and visit some animation studios, and it turned out if I accepted the supervising role that would at least pay for my flight, so what could I do, eh? (Although I did turn down a teaching position because I didn't want to get too busy to either apply for other jobs or FINALLY work on my portfolio, so that's.. something. Starting to wonder if I should've taken it though...Ohhh yeaaaah, the moving stage! I suspect that was the first time I'd ever seen that before or a stage production big enough to have that many moving parts; pretty sure watching the bridge lift away from Javert as he "fell" and was swept offstage by the turntable/"current" blew my balls off XD But yeah, it wasn't until reading*coughskimmingcough* the book in junior high that I realized it was pretty much Crying And Fighting: The Musical/Novel. Erk, nice, dad :/ (Wait, did he read the book too? For sure Cosette kinda does her "oh that makes me sad, I'm gonna not ( ... )

Wahh, congrats!!

Also I'll go stalk your Tumblr now--I'm Flawless-Rarity over there. It's not very community-like, but it's good for keeping tabs on people, if they don't get swallowed up in a sea of pretty crap on your dash.

vejiicakes January 28 2013, 06:46:44 UTC

Nyeee, thank you!

Just friended you back! And yeah, I didn't think I'd use it for much but keeping track of LJ peeps, but already it's a lost cause in that unless I directly check their Tumblrs, I never see them. On account of too much miscellaneous fandom crap on my dash. I did this to myself...
