...or rather, moving. Over to corowne. ..taotie was a pretty cute name though. Those who voted, if you still want a doodle, you can note me over there with a ref aaaand I'll get it done.

Watchers, sorry to have to trouble you to shift your watch! If you can still stand me, that is.

Up till now, I've had this account for about 5 years, 30k pageviews. Thanks for everything! I think it's time for something new (and for me to stop feeling weird about my DA username) sooo here's to some new memories to be made :heart:

In other news, my birthday. For once it didn't suck. Props to ohmysky, I loooove having her around :heart:

(will doodle something for all voters xD)

I've been thinking of getting a new DA account recently. ..since, well..just how many people can remember this one easily? On the first time you hear it? Plus it's old and..doesn't mean anything. I doubt it's anything for someone to take seriously, which is..the way I like to do things, but if I didn't want people to take me seriously I'd do it some other way.
(The dude who has the name I usually use doesn't log in frequently, which is a pity.)

So- here, help me pick. At the moment of typing these are unused.

1. gnomenreigen (it's the title of a piano song I'm learning now, and it's fun to play, but running the risk of people calling me gnome? xD)
2. borderoflife (I like this one. A Touhou BGM..and I might regret using a name from a game.)
3. reticeo (latin, to keep silent)
4. taotie (a monster from Chinese mythology that..eats.)
5. countercanon (I couldn't find a word that plays on the musical term "canon" that wasn't already used. This seems to have the meaning of going against convention. I like this one, with or without a hyphen.)

..I can't think of anything else and my brother's whining for the modem. So..which do you think works? Personally, at the moment I'm leaning very much towards "countercanon"/"counter-canon" but I might change my mind tomorrow.
Also if you vote for 5, tell me if a hyphen looks better xD Thanks much! I'm rather free now, so when you vote, link me a ref and I'll doodle something for you in thanks. :heart:

I'll probably create the new account tomorrow sooo above offer works only if you vote before I post a new journal. :3

So how was your Christmas? x3
I suppose mine wasn't extremely interesting but that doesn't matter, I've already got stuff from slightly before Christmas to occupy myself with.
Presents-wise, I suppose I didn't get anything to unwrap today, but I got some candyyyy (and a can of cat food. I bet it was my mum who did it.) and confirmation that I get to spend time with my friend on my birthday <3

I'm either very hard to satisfy or not at all. :3
That is- I don't demand a lot because the things I demand are EXPENSIVE or hard to get. I mean- PSP. Good books (for some reason, I always pick up the expensive ones without realising it). Online money. They either cost a lot, or I haven't the face to ask for them as presents. So I don't ask. (o-on the other hand I sure wouldn't mind a couple of gold keys on Tygras *totally not hinting here*)
On the other hand it's the little things that matter a lot- ohmysky text-messaging me from overseas to ask about what we're going to do on the first, seeing people I care about being happy. Sooo yeah. It was pretty fine for me to have things this way.

5, 6 days more to my birthday and the new year? For once I'm looking forward to the day itself. <3 And say. Thanks guys, for the past year. You keep me sane. I owe you lots. Hope the holidays are happy for you. <333

As religious or as secular as you want to take that. xD Not religious here, but my family likes to take the occasion as an excuse to eeaaaat. I ate 4 to 5 hours ago, and I'm still very full. There goes the past months' exercise~

I've started tinkering with C programming. Still not into the hard stuff yet, just writing some simple programs. The mental stimulation comes from figuring out how to write them efficiently (that is, not brute forcing everything).
I'm out of ideas for random little programs though. Already did up the more interesting exercises from the book for the chapters I've read.

3am. I should be sleeping now xD; Been having a hard time staying awake.
It's quite ironic that I sleep late during the holidays, when I should actually be able to sleep earlier.

............oh yeah.
Tygras anyone? www.tygras.com
I got an alpha account as a present. :3 There's a lack of currency going around though, so I'm not hoping for customs until more donations get in. Bawww.

..........OKAY REALLY GOING TO SLEEP NOW.

I swear I haven't forgotten about the mass pchat thing.

...not entirely, anyway. Uh..I didn't realise it was already past the 20th. And then..I wanted to get ohmysky to join in too but she won't have internet for a while ;;
Possibly near the end of the month.
No guarantees though..with new year's day (my birthday!) coming, I might not have a full day of internet close to that time.

Speaking of birthdays, for once I'm not going all BAWWWWWWW over a birthday. Maybe it's because there are things I can expect, maybe it's because there won't be school on the next day, or both.
I still don't like the idea of growing older.
I'll be legal this coming year (and it's incredibly exact- I was born close to midnight, so my mum said) and..growing up is..bleh. Responsibilities and all.

I remember years ago I used to run around with digimon keychains, the ones where you can raise and battle digimon. I loved those. Everywhere there'd be some boy with a digimon keychain too, and my brother and I would just battle away. (my proudest achievement, by the way, was getting a megaseadramon.)

I wonder, where have those kids gone?

I suppose they went and grew up, and forgot about all these little things- sequences of buttons that were supposed to let your digimon win (the one I always pressed went CBACBACBACABA), killer numemons, randomly jogressing to see what you get..I remember them all.
It's still hard to believe. Does growing up meaning having to throw all these things away? You know- if anyone still played them, I'd carry digimon keychains to battle with them. Except they don't anymore.
Digimon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards..all the things I loved to play with as a kid. Everyone else grew up, but not me..I still want to play. It'd look weird though.
My brother, whom everyone calls immature at 16, is the only one I know IRL who would still go for these things now.

For the record, when I was 11 (Primary 6), nearing the end of school and there was nothing to do, I played Beyblade with the boys. I don't know what the other girls were doing. xD Gaia Dragoon was my favourite.

So I thought about it, and I think-

WHY THE HECK DO I NEED TO GROW UP ANYWAY.

Well, too bad. I'll go on liking these things, and checking out kids' toys forever. (Has anyone noticed how so-called girls' toys get worse and worse? Or maybe it's my general dislike for gender roles.) I'll just be more lonely than usual, I guess. (the next hottest thing seems to be Bakugan. I don't quite understand it.)

Life should just be the way I like it. Do what I like, even if it means I don't earn much, or have to work hard, as long as I can stand at the end, look back and be proud that I did more cool stuff than the average person. That the world is in some ways better, because I made it that way. In the end, fame and money are only means to whichever ends I choose- to know more people, to survive, to make the people I love happy, etc.

Here comes the 18th year of life. I suppose the media makes it all important sounding and all that, but that's just trash.(So's a lot of the things the media glorifies, and that I hate to the inner core of my being.) I won't feel any more grown-up than before. 18 used to be a target. A few years ago, the artists on the Internet that I respected were about 18 years old, and I made it my target to be just as good or better when I reach that age. Whether I've managed it or not is something else, though.
..ah, and drinking won't be illegal anymore..xD
For the past two years I've felt like an observer rather than a participant. So this is what normal people like to do- dress up and go to prom? Read Teenage and Seventeen magazines (to be honest, I thought no one in their right minds would. I was wrong, and horrified.)? Is this what they talk about? Is this what growing up means?
A less-than-fascinated observer. Time passed in a flash. This is why sometimes I tell people I'm 17, but mentally 15.

Something I've thought of time and again- my mum once told me that learning slows when you hit 15. I've desperately tried to deny it. ..and what would you know..my learning speed's been increasing. I think it's trainable. Which I will continue doing.

In all- here's to a good year ahead. Christmas is coming soon, so is the new year.
I didn't originally intend this to be an entry filled with a lot of thought, but I guess I needed to write this somewhere, and it just flowed out. Thanks a lot if you read it :heart:

............and I should stop sleeping late. (it's 3.30am heredlfskjk;ldj)

Oh and. Hackers. They're pretty awesome. In the actual, proper sense of the word "hacker". (don't misuse it!)
See here: catb.org/esr/jargon/html/
I almost cried reading that- their mindset and behaviour, I know far too well. To the point that it was slightly eerie. It prevented me from fitting in with much of the crowd (read: JC environment) but well, I suppose I have a reason to be proud of it.
