Merry Christmas, to those who read these things! I haven't been on this website for ages -- not because I dislike it for any reason, but probably because I like it too much. I'm completing my masters in a completely unrelated field, and this website is a HUGE distraction. Although, the same could be said of Fanfiction.net, and I haven't stopped reading there... Well, procrastination takes many forms, I suppose. In the meantime, I haven't stopped drawing, not ever. I hope this shows in some of my recent submissions! Hardly everything I've drawn recently, but it's something. I've had the fortune to reflect on many things, and I'm feeling ver

I've submitted a drawing! I've been dabbling in realistic drawing for a few months now, and I feel like I've improved a lot. I don't have a great deal of time to be drawing (three majors, none of them art, can do that to a person), but I enjoy every minute of doodling I can fit into my day. I would love to focus on art only, but college really doesn't offer much deviation once you hit senior year... I love still life and people, and enjoy spending 15+ hours on a single drawing. Maybe I'll be able to put one of those drawings up here someday! Anyway... I have an Xbox! Star Ocean and Batman: Arkham Asylum are amazing (-ly long) games! I'm itch

Because I always forget to write a journal entry. :ninjaeat: It's been a busy year for lil' ol' me, but the hard part's just getting started! You may not know, but I studied in Japan last year and completed my Japanese minor (there's  no Jap major yet at UW-Oshkosh, but there's hope for one soon). I'm officially a German major, Japanese minor, and an unofficial International Studies major. Because of my German major, I'm studying in Germany from February 'til June. I have an internship all lined up, another one ready as back-up, and a busy life in Germany until probably August. I'm nearing the end of my college career, and the prospect of gr

Hey, it's me again... ^^; srry to annoy u, but... does this ジェイ say "Jay"? :confused:
Yep! If I were to spell ジェイ out in English, it would look like "Jei". Which, basically, translates to Jay. And no worries! You're questions don't annoy me whatsoever. :)

Not to confuse you, but here's some Jap 101. :reading: Ignore this if ya want:

The ジ symbol stands for the hard "jee" sound.

The little ェ stands for an "eh" sound.

ジ plus the little ェ equals one symbol, ジェ, which produces a "je" sound. Make sense? (ジ + ェ = ジェ)

The イ is an English "eye" sound.

In otherwords, ジェ + イ = "Jei" or the "Jay" sound you hear in English! Tada! :lol:
