It's true - I'm not out. Just under a rock 's all. I've actually drawn a few things that I'm rather proud of, and, though nothing spectacular, I hope to post them soon.

Honestly, I only wanted to post a new journal entry for two reasons. One, I haven't updated since waaaaay back last year. A few more months and it would've been a whole year! I have very small and pitiful excuses. They range from my dog eating my homework to getting lost on the road of life. Both, actually, are very close to a true and reasonable excuse. Two, posting a journal means, at least to me, that I should post some art now or very soon. Seeing as how I'm too much of a 'fraidy-cat to do either, I haven't dared to post a new journal until now.

Actually, there's a third reason for posting this, and it isn't very inspiring: the Japanese language is HARD. Really. I know that I would never EVER want to learn English (and I thank my lucky stars for being born in a country that speaks it), but Japanese can be extremely frustrating. It's my minor and so I really love the language, but what's with all the gender difference? Men can say this, but women can't? I understand social structures, but language should NEVER discriminate. That's like says certain thoughts/ways of thinking are more qualified than others. Oh - it just burns me up a little. My own personal pet peeve, I s' pose. Back on point though. Japanese is fantastically difficult.

And it's awesome.

And my Sensei last semester angered me along with the TA. Jerks.

There. I'm done. No more... until later.

Peace out.
