asked by FormspringSure, Formspring, sure.
You just tell me anything...
Usually, though, if it's important, yes. I don't know why I'm bothering to fill this out. -
Well thank you!
And Explode 16! Isn't that a mystery for the ages! We (the Cherry Doom ladies, that is) know very little about them. They aren't local to any of my areas that I know of, and they're definitely not new - I was given Explode 16's 'thunderstorm' back in 2004/2005 along with a small stash of other Johnny/Edgar themed songs that seem to be lone expressions of wonder with the implication that the songs had been around for even longer than that. Unfortunately, a Google search is the extent of my knowledge of the group and the song, though you may search the archives of Cherry Doom to see if we ever discussed it more thoroughly. I'm sorry I don't know any more! -
I try to be awesome! It doesn't register here on my end, but I'm glad it's getting through to you. Life is hectic, sore and painful, mostly. My job has been very unforgiving, so I feel like all I do is work and eat and sleep. I have hope that it will get better.

You can hear snips of the songs on Squonk Opera's website, here -> http://www.squonkopera.com/archives/inferno.html and here -> http://www.squonkopera.org/cd_samples.html , or their YouTube account here -> http://il.youtube.com/user/squonkopera Alternately, you can wait until I finish ISH, when I'm posting songs from both it and SWAN again in addition to all the other piles of extras!

It's sweet to hear that, thanks. I still have one last part to poor ISH, and then it'll be done or something, and then I won't owe you dudes anything anymore. I know people are still appreciating it, and it's delightful that they are, for real. I don't hate hearing about it or anything, fear not. (Though everyone has been super awesome about not harassing me about everything, which I have appreciated immensely!) SWAN and ISH are important to me even if I'm not immersed in the fandom they live in anymore - they were pretty much my whole creative life for something like five years, after all.
-
I don't, no. I've never heard of it, but I'll look into it! If I get one, well, I won't be able to tell you personally, but I'll probably mention it on dA or LJ or something, and of course, my username will be painfully predictable.

I don't watch a lot of movies, because I'm some kind of grumpy lame-ass, but my favorites are The Last Unicorn and the Nightmare Before Christmas. The Last Unicorn has enchanted me since I was three years old and hasn't let go, and Nightmare is pretty similarly attached to me. Musical animated movies just make my heart happy.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I really like Ringu and Pan's Labyrinth. Creepy shit is fun.
Fondness also exists in large amounts for Willy Wonka, Chicago, and The Little Mermaid. -
This is dangerously vague. Am I facing the Doctor as in just looking at him? Or are we armed and fighting to the death? Which regeneration is he?
If I am just looking at him, and he is model number Two, I probably hug him and cry a lot, because I am a motherfucking GIRL and I love him so much it kind of hurts.
I would be also happy to see models 4-8 and 11. Others to lesser degrees.
If I am facing them in battle, I am fucked. I need to convince him of how useful to time I am. Alternately, throw something shiny and hide while he is distracted. -

I don't suppose a 'hello' or a 'please' ever crossed your mind then? This kind of stuff is why I left.

It's kind of alarming how much it looks like her.

I think I've gotten into the habit of reading webcomics out of habit now. I read Penny and Aggie and Yu+Me, but the quality of the latter is not as fantastic as the author seems to think it is. Otherwise, I stopped keeping track of any. I liked Rice Boy. That was good. You should read that.
-
Six weeks later, I'm going to tell you that I'm not sure.
-
Aww, you're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful and not just a rehash of some kinda self-help bullshit. I wanted to actually do some good there. Awesome.

asked by nnymoose
I didn't have any art classes before college, really. We had art classes in my highschool, but we weren't actually taught anything that mattered. He showed us the color wheel once, but didn't tell us what to do with it, and we experimented with a lot of random media. He mostly ignored us and I painted on the walls.
I've been drawing since I was three, and it's all I've ever wanted to do, so I don't know if it's natural talent so much as obsessive behavior. I was definitely always that kid in class who could draw, at least.
As far as developing goes, everyone says 'practice' but I think they need to go a step beyond that. So often you get people who did what I did in highschool, which was practice by just continuing to draw the same way, with the same materials and the same colors and the same everything over and over. And yeah, with that kind of practice, there is some natural improvement, but it's nothing compared to doing MORE. The problem is that a lot of people are, again, like I was in highschool and have no idea what other shit they could be experimenting with - they don't know what MORE is. I think, sometimes, what you need is a fresh pair of eyes, or maybe a fresh brain, to plant some kind of new idea in you. Study is important, as lame as that sounds for something art-related. Learning to do art isn't so much as learning to make your hands do what you want as learning to SEE. Learning to draw what you see and not what you think you see REALLY helped me my first year of art school. That was mindblowing for me. Studying anatomy, drawing from life, learning which muscles attach to what and where, and learning tips from others were my biggest jumps while in school. I think approaching the world never thinking you've seen it all, and never assuming you have nothing to learn is the best way to develop any talent. -
Ha ha, sorry, I don't like Star Wars. I didn't even know there was an opposite of Jedi. Unless that's not what that is, then, uh, well, I still clearly don't know.

It is not just you, and it's not just dA. I decided to make myself a new LiveJournal icon the other day to replace the Johnny default one I've had since 2005 or so and made it a super colored Banshee. I liked it so much I duplicated it with most of my other accounts.

I... don't know! I don't know if I've ever had it!
My problem is that I often like the American version of foreign foods. I like my chicken as white meat and no bones and the authentic stuff... doesn't. I also hate seafood, so most of Japan's food is super unattractive to me. I dig Thai food. Didn't like the one or two instances of Vietnamese I've had, like Chinese... Fucking adore Indian because the spicier the food, the better, but I think I'm straying.
I'd like to try some Korean. Trying new food for me is a hobby for like meeting my online friends in real life is - I do it with considerable risk to life and wallet but have yet to be very disappointed. -
Freak the fuck out. Realize the only Mandarin I know is 'Hello,' 'I love you' and half a verbal phrase meaning 'do you know' because my roommate freshman year was a Chinese major, and then desperately try to get some internet to call my friend Amy in Japan, who... will not be able to much, but will make me feel better?
Alternately, I gain linguistic prowess in 30 seconds and go try to eat something that isn't dog. And then sneak into a museum. -
I actually don't know. I do a shit ton of singing, but our choir program in highschool wasn't very structured and I never had a personal teacher or anything. I've sung both alto and soprano parts, too, so I really don't know.
-
No! I was actually terrified of it back in highschool, but once we started, I actually kind of really liked it, which is like some kind of freak thing because me and math are not friends. Plus, once you know the basics of trig, a lot of really goofy math jokes will make so much more sense to you and you'll suddenly feel like you were let in on a giant inside joke. If that's not motivation, I don't know what is.
