I don't want to start this by saying "It's been a long time since I've updated..."

BECAUSE I HAVE NOT POSTED ANYTHING FOR A YEAR AND THAT'S A FACT! I AM PRO-MIAAAA (missing in action)
*runs and gets bricked by DA-ians*

AND THIS IS MY FIRST POST OF THE YEAR?



~Prologue~

*adjust shirt back in place* *err-hemm*
First off I'm seriously gonna have to apologise to and for not completing your gifts. I realised that I was trying too hard to do art gifts for people and ended up never doing them. I hope both of you can forgive me for not completing them...
m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m

Your progress pic can be seen in the webcam..that is what I did so far! (I put this together sometime back, only never started to sketch and paint it)

~Chapter One~ Life Camrecorder

My life so far has been full of +++ and - - -.
The Minus is having failed subjects over and over again until it has become like a ritual. Total eff minus.
The Plus is I am still alive after all that and I am able to still try and make a difference in my life and others. Starting today, I'm going to have to make that difference bit by bit. I hope I can get all the support I need to continue and push the boundaries. >___<
My term has just recommenced and I hope I can survive this.

I started neglecting this site because...I was thinking of opening a new account. RaeVeone was a random name that I made up in high school, and later I adopted the name everyflavourmintos (MinTos for short). Now, I'm getting pangs of an identity crisis because :

1. There is another DA user named mintos and it's not me.
2. Starting another account would create confusions?
3. How do I watermark my future works? Raeveone-MinTos? Everyflavourmintos? I heard that DA takes off artworks that do not have the same name as their DA ID...Gaahhh!!!
4. Will my posting of anime-related art make my gallery somewhat weird? @__@

Recently a friend of mine started using the term "MinTochuu" on me...so should I go use that instead? (I am confusing you am I?)

~Chapter Two~ Blockage In need of Cleaning

I have been creatively blocked due to my severe addictions to :
cosplay.
CF.
internet.
watchinganime+readingmanga.
playingrandomgamesonrealarcade.
worry (yes worry is addictive and it's bad).
procrastination.
lackoftimemanagement (err...ok, this is not an addiction but contributes to the rest. well it contributed to my failures.)
fear.
slowness.

So right now, I'm going to tell myself that :
I can make it through!
I should learn how to ignore other people's comments about me and be more thick skinned. (which i will prolly phail anyway)

My LJ > [link]
Contains more of my own ramblings and cosplay related stuff. I am not a frequent poster, so expect to see me MIA when my workload comes in. Remember that it's F-locked, so do drop a note there and I'll add you back! Or else you won't be able to see my entries!

That's it folks! I hope to accomplish these bit by bit. Please bear with me?
