Lol.

You know, I didn't believe people when they said Skyrim was ...addictive. I thought they were just a bunch of social rejects like a lot of WoW players are (not all of them, mind you - I know that there are quite a few that actually know how to balance a life and their MMORPG), and that I would be fine. I've played Oblivion, after all, and quite frankly, didn't really like it. Too convoluted, and the controls were...messy.

So, I bought Skyrim on a whim, really. And...well. Addictive doesn't quite cover it, does it? >.> Here I am three months later, completely finished with the game, and I'm still contemplating just running through and killing off everyone. Why? Just because I can. I'm the biggest, baddest mofo on the block, and I really like killing poor, defenseless people. Setting them on fire is hilarious.

...is there something wrong with that?

Anyway, I'm also contemplating starting a new character. I was a Khajiit, and now I want to be a wood elf, if only because of the bad-ass mohawk/tribal tattoo combo they have going for them. Lol.

On other news, finally starting to sit down and draw again, after my inadvertent three-month hiatus. Sorry about that, by the way. I have a lot of half-finished pieces of works floating around that were once entries into events and contests, and are now simply going to be gifts.

Also, I picked up this new set of markers - Spectrum Noir - which, from what I read on the package, was supposed to be an affordable version of Copics. Archival quality, alcohol-based ink, non-bleed-through, capable of blending well, and they came with a colorless blender that works on copics as well. Well, I'm here to tell you: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!! They bleed like a crazy mofo, they don't blend well AT ALL, and their color variation sucks ass. Thankfully, I'm only out $12 for 6 markers, but still. I guess it's true what they say: You buy cheap, you get cheap.

I did manage to make it to Katsucon this year, and I even managed to drive down there without my parents going all freaky on me. Interestingly enough, I learned one, big, valuable lesson while doing so: Don't speed in DC. I ended up with a $200 speeding ticket, and that amount was considerably lowered because it was my first driving offense, ever. The cop that pulled me over told be he usually writes amounts around $450. So, valuable lesson earned. Yes.
