In·fo
So hi again, everyone. Well, you guys already know me for my username (which I admit, is quite silly, it being all numbers--but hey, I'm trying to be different here, no?). Some of my S2C friends (a comm for The Sims 2 that has been long gone since I don't know when) know me simply by 1306, and--some would even go as far as to call me Stephen (well, that is my real name--and my third nickname ;) ). But yeah, that's much about my name and what not.

I'm 17 (didn't you guys know? :P), and I'm from the land of seven thousand and a lot more islands--the Philippines. It's a pretty hot place right now, but trust me--when rainy season hits, disaster usually follows suit. Thank God I haven't been struck down or anything. But yeah, this place is quite colorful to start with, and truthfully, I wouldn't leave it for anything (although there are a few exceptions).

I'm a guy who probably doesn't know much about the balance of real life and interwebz life. Well, first of all, what balance do you speak of, good sir? I'm pretty much that guy who prefers to lurk around on the web, finding all sorts of interesting stuff (while scarring my mind on a few good times), blogging and what not. And one thing about me is that I DON'T have a Facebook--mainly because I greatly dislike the idea of it. Besides, I'm more of a blogger than a Facebook-er, in simple terms.

Also, I tend to fawn/obsess over my fandoms a few times often so much that it's not funny anymore. And I have a LOT of fandoms. What can I say--I'm just taking in whatever's there and testing the waters, so to say. Although here's the funny stuff--I don't write fanfic or RP or any of that. Hey, I fandomize and what not, but I don't do those. I don't know, too much politics and drama that come with it. Really, guys, I admire you guys who do dabble in RP and fanfic, but seriously, you guys are braver than me, dealing with the drama that comes with it. Still, trust me to fawn over things once in a while.

I LOVE MY MUSIC. That's one thing important about me. I love, love LOVE my music. 90% of what I do most of the time is listen to music (of course, you don't have to trust me on percentages :p) Music helps out a lot of times in my case--especially when I need a good mood boost. Well, you have to consider what I listen to. Maybe I'll list down some examples later.

Also, with the knowledge of not writing fanfic in mind, I write original stories a lot. I write fluff. Mostly. And usually it's about werewolves and what not. Well, what can I say--I'm hopelessly obsessed with werewolves (and want to cuddle and pet them) :3 (I am a proud user and abuser of that smiley--affectionately named the Werewolf Smiley). Also, as of late, I've been rediscovering my love for minotaurs. Well, why not? They're awesome--and yeah, ADORABLE at the same time. Well, what can I say--I'm a weird kid. :P

I tend to be really quiet and shy IRL, given the right circumstances. Well, unless you ask my friends, they won't say that. But I can be shy and a bit of an introvert at times.

Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Well, that's me in a nutshell--a huge nutshell, that is.

Fandom·izing
There's a second post after this, refer to it if you're looking for all my fandoms/interests. Although I don't think it'll ever be complete :P

Friend·ing
I tend to friend anyone, as long as they don't have a dead journal (aka, not update for months or years, but heaven forbid the latter happens). Also, it would help if we have the same interests/fandoms, and/or know each other IRL.

Because there was a definite need to do this soonish. And look, trying out new fonts too! :D

...But once you go Cintiq, you never go back. Seriously, there's nothing to complain about the monitor being the tablet itself. And I had like a six-hour encounter with it. All on a first time using it.

Gotta say, I'm going to love Thursdays from now on. :D

So yeah, this pretty much sums up all the stories that I haven't written/in progress. A lot of these are fragments that make up a bigger, overlapping story. So yep, busy as always.

Of course, college joins in on the to-do list. We're doing experimental animation this term, so next we'll be doing stop motion, and then after that, we're doing pixilation, sand animation, paint-on-glass, to name a few.

Life's exciting, don't you think?

I found it on Tumblr (like most things :P), and I don't know about you, but it reminds me of when I used to want to become an "spaceman".

That was when I was about four or five years old, to be exact. But now that I think about it, if the writing or art thing doesn't take off for me, I can always hope to go into space instead. :D

Who knows--I might just reach Pluto. AND LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE.

Okay, thanks to a topic over at the bunny_den, I am suddenly imagining some of my OC's as superheroes.

There's this set of characters I have, for example, that are basically the nine planets in human disguises. They already have powers canonically, since they're the planets, after all, but since that topic, I've got these thoughts running around in my head now:


-Earth/Terra has power over nature (self-explanatory
-Neptune is a waterbender, Uranus is an icebender, Venus is a firebender, Mars is an earthbender, and Jupiter is a windbender (yep guess which show I've been watching as of late)
-Mercury has powers over temperature
-Saturn creates rings of ice and rock to defend herself and others
-Pluto can raise the dead and form a zombie army. Also, he turns into a gigantic stone golem and is the most powerful out of the nine planets (there's no bias here, none at all :P)


Now they need a Nick Fury. You know what, I'll volunteer myself :D

I have this habit as of late that involves playing Amelie (the movie) and working on stuff while watching it. It's become one of those movies that I love so much I can work on things better when it's playing. It's a weird habit, I know.

But people have special music/movies/whatever that they work on stuff better with. What say you, f-list?

So, Mary Sues/Marty Stus.

To be honest, I've wanted to write one, just for parody purposes. He/she could be the most obnoxious character I've ever written, and everyone might just become interested/annoyed at her/his behavior. It could be fun, but at the same time, I might read through it and suffer second-hand embarrassment (or just flat out embarrassment). I don't know.

Also, since I'm extra careful about things like this, I've resolved to putting my characters under a litmus test to see if they're Mary Sues/Marty Stus or not. So far the two characters I've tested scored really low (8 and 3, respectively). So that makes them a not-Sue, I guess. Dozens more of characters to go!

So what about you, f-list? Have you ever let your characters take a litmus test like the one above? And how's your experiences with Mary Sues/Marty Stus?

I've never been to Reddit. Up until today. HOLY HECK THAT PLACE IS HUGE.

Tell me, anyone--is it worth making an account there? Am I missing something or what?

Link to my thread :)

Also, Happy Mother's Day to all! I was going to have some art here, but it's still pretty much WIP. I should have it up soon enough.

Yep, what of it? We all know the world is ending on 2012, right? :P

This is my reading list as of today. Well, one of them I've finished, but I'll start with the top.
My reading list under the cut~ )
So that's that, and now, for a meme! Haven't done one in a while, so yeah, here's one.

Pick ten songs from your iTunes/iPod. It can be random or carefully picked out, whatever works. Everyone else, leave a comment with the name of your favorite fictional character at the moment and a number between one to ten. The number corresponds to one of the songs in your list, and whatever number was given, you have to explain why you like that song or what's so significant about it to you. Then post this in your own journal and let the musical madness ensue!

Ten songs, huh? Well, here we go:

...I guess you could say in the middle of the day, I felt this overwhelming urge to go out and give every person I meet a hug. It's creepy-sounding, I know.

So I'll just leave this here and say I love you all. I may not know where you're coming from right now, but I love all of you. :)

Yep, that's right. I don't even remember why this is what I picked to rewatch, but oh well, an awesome series nonetheless.

This is what I'll be going through in the next few entries. I rewatch the whole 2003 Astro Boy series, post some thoughts on it per episode, and then I profit.

Episode 1's up tomorrow. Hope to see you guys then :)

If there's one problem artists/writers have that I've noticed from lurking around places (and other stuff like that), it's the problem of not being noticed. I should know--the feeling's all too familiar.

And it's a poisonous feeling--either it could stagnate you or make you increasingly jealous to the point where you start hating everybody. Either way, you're screwed.

Ignorance and jealousy, go together like endives and gratin. )

So apparently I have 470 tags as of now. Ummm, yeah.
brb cleaning them up

(What about you, f-list? Do you have 400+ tags on your journal? :P)

Also, I'm still reeling from The Avengers. 'Cause you know, it's awesome and all.

And I didn't think I care so much for the Hulk so much as I do right now. Maybe it's because I haven't seen the two Hulk films yet. Or because I really haven't given the character much thought.

But now I'm like "omg the hulk is so awesome sfhsdfshdghsdhg". Yep.
