I have this little theory that occured to me when I was riding home in a bus about an hour ago. It is NOT tested in any way and just pretty much a random hunch o.o but I thought if your memory is complete and utter crap, like mine, it could actually help.

See, I try to memorize how things look every day as I go to school, home and uh... well, that's pretty much it But you get the point. You can't draw things if you don't know what they look like. However, like I said, my memory is complete and utter crap, so if you asked me how the corridor in our school looks like right now I'd be like uuuh... there's a carpet? o.o

So! I've been thinking and came to quite an interesting conclusion, methinks. Imagine you're in a bus. What do you see? Seats, windows and poles, right? Those are probably the first things you'll imagine when thinking of a bus. Now, however obvious it seems, say to yourself "why are those things here"? The answers are simple - for people to have places to sit, to see where they are and to be able to hang on to something. That was easy, right?

Now, focus on the details. When I imagine a background, an environment, the details are always blurry because I just don't know what belongs there, even if I've seen it a billion times before. When I was on the bus today, I saw lines under the "STOP" light (no idea why that's there, either, eheh). And it kinda sucks to remember things as "random lines". So, I examined the thing a little more, and saw that it's a door and a lock, sort of like a little built-in box. I have no idea why it was there for, but I assume some emergency supplies could be stored in the box. Or I saw nails on the floor - to hold the seats in place.

See where I'm going with this? I think it would be much easier to remember something when you know not just that it's (usually) there, but because it's there for a reason.

Of course, you can't do this with everything and not always completely accurately (we all know humans have feet and joints and whatevs, but still, it takes looots of practice to draw them right) but I reckon keeping this in mind could provide you with some basic guidelines, whaddya think? ^^

O hai fellas.
I'm sick. For two days now, I've had a fever and I'm so cold it's not funny and it just won't go away. My head feels like it's going to explode. My stomach's killing me. My body as a whole is kind of out of order. I'm just saying because in case this doesn't go away anytime soon, it'll be baaaaaaaaad. I don't know what to do about it... I've taken so many pills I could build a city out of them, and still, the goddamn fever is kicking my ass.
Someone help me PLEASE T-T

The worst thing is, tomorrow I so HAVE TO go to school because we have this project going on and it's HUUUGE. The final presentation will be held sometime in December and if I miss the planning.. I'm so fucking screwed.

Must. Draw. Kunimitsu. -grabs the joystick & jumps back to Tekken- -smashes the joystick- OW DAMN STUPID PAUL BE KICKING MY ASS D:

That's right, if you watch House and don't want to know some pretty major spoilers (well, it's fucked up my mood for a few years at least), you shouldn't read this...

Anyway... I'm so not amused... and like SO @^#(& NOT... because you know what? I decided to stick with the show because still, there's Cameron, which leads to my neverending fangasm.. at least I thought it was... well... I won't say it, I just don't have the guts... just click the goddamn link... [link]

I'm heartbroken... I'm emo... I'm... I'm... pretty much miserable right now.
Pretty much? Not pretty much, I'm completely @^(#&*) wasted.
Seriously... This was such a low blow I can't even explain it... This is what I get for my loyalty... Thank you very much...

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie.

ETA because I'm lazy to do a new journal: There's this devitation on DA I've seen a few days ago, loved it, faved it, but I still don't think I did it justice because of how much win it's made of. So just because I feel like featuring... ya know I'm really happy fer yeh an' imma let you finish, but CLICK THE DAMN LINK. [link]

</intended Kanye West pun>

I am deeply disappointed. I just found out there is like NO Cougar fanart on DA and even less Chrodechild fanart. ;_; As soon as I finish the damn game I'm drawing some. FANART TIEMZZZZ -dives into bed with my DS in hand and the Suikoden Tierkries theme tune playin'-

By the way, am I the only one who thinks reading "Chrodechild" as "Chrodekilled" is odd? ;_; (I still have to resist the urge to say Chrode... well, child.) (But whatever, the game has a BUNCH of weirdly spelled names. Like that Razwen girl or whoever it was. Lazlen? Seriously?)

PS: Oh, yeah, the whole rant was about Suikoden. Go play it.
PPS: My head hurts like hell and I don't think the game's helping. But what the hell, it's fun. 8D
PPPS: OMOCHIKAERIIII~ -fangasms over Chrode- -does the Rena-chan omochikaeri nosebleeding pose-
