My old monitor crapped out on me a few days ago, so I've finally got a new one. 19-inch LCD flatscreen for the win.

You know what this world needs? More Saiunkoku Monogatari fanart. And Nodame Cantabile fanart. And Scrapped Princess fanart. And Yakitate! Japan fanart. And more fanart of neglected but awesome characters like Benawi, Gwendal, Francisco, Mr. Chan, and a whole slew of others.

I may or may not attempt to alleviate this sometime in the near future.

(Also, if you recognise all those series and characters, you win geek points. Where is the love for them, people? Where is the love?)

EDIT: Holy crap, 1000 faves on my Ouran fanart? You guys are awesome. Totally insane, but awesome nonetheless.

I turned 20 a couple days ago. Please refrain from any 'har har it's your third decade you're old now' cracks, they've already been made in abundance.
Because we have some family staying at our house at the moment, I wasn't going to be having a birthday celebration. I took it with fairly good grace and tried to organise a meal with some friends instead, and none of them replied except one guy who said he couldn't come.
So I came in (late) from work on Friday to meet some other friends for lunch, feeling rather tired and cranky, and walked in the door to find...
....THEY THREW ME A PARTY. Not a massive one, but there was pizza (most of which I'd missed on account of being late) and soft drinks and a cake, and they'd all pitched in to buy me a NINTENDO DS, and it was the best birthday ever.
Granted, my new shiny DS is now a very pretty paperweight because I ended up getting KH2 instead of a game for it, but still. What with that and the other awesome presents I got and my mum deciding to cook me a birthday dinner after all? BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.

My first ever art theft. Ain't it pretty?

I'm slightly flattered the perpetrator thought it was good enough to steal, rather more pissed off because a) it was stolen and b) they butchered the subtitle (seriously....'wiht'?), but mostly amused. If people have such fragile egos that they need to resort to this kind of thing to make themselves feel good, I kind of pity them.

Thanks to for telling me.

Copypasting from the wonderful

The first 10 people who post in this journal will be featured. I will go though your gallery and choose three of your deviations I like(/am frightened of) the most and post them in my journal for everyone to see! It's pretty much to show you off (/parade your insanity). Who doesn't want that? The catch? If you post, you have to put this in your journal as well. I'll be leaving this journal up for a long time(/until i get bored). Remember, if you don't post this in your journal, I'm not going to put your art up.(/theoretically speaking, I still might mock you.)
