If you want AX, go to my siblings' journal or my dA; I'm too lazy

I really hate summer school. XD; My computer teacher cannot teach, and why do I have to make brochures on MS Word? Then again, I might just suck at computers. >>; But I've already had an in-depth computer class before, and instead of being graded by keystrokes I'm being graded like it's a reading or art project. And sentences have to have one space between them? D: *Still sticks to the two spaces* What kind of homework is grab a dictionary and define all of this for computer class? ^^; Well, yes, it's a rushed class, but still. I'm so used to having a computer teacher give powerpoints and lectures. But enough about that. It's long enough. ^^;

Lengua de gato's are really yummy. :D I fail to understand how "cat's tongues" are appetizing though. And that "brazo de Mercedes" that my mother brought home once. How the heck is "Mercedes's arm" appetizing? DX Considering that I'm playing a game with a character named Mercedes in it, too, well, hmm... Spanish names for food is funny. They changed a Chinese food's name into "arroz caldo". Oh, oh hey~ what's the difference between goto, arroz caldo, and...uhh, there was something else, and rice porridges in general?

I'm glad that light novels are becoming more popular here~ This means that I can understand them. Boogiepop Phantom, Kino's Journey, and Brave Story~...I wonder if Shinigami no Ballad will ever be released here~ I need to read more since my vocabulary kind of sucks. D: I'm okay with grammar, but vocab is bleh. Speaking of reading, I want more Artemis Fowl novels~ ...truth be told, I never got into the Harry Potter thing. XD; And seeing how thick those books are... Oh wait, sophomore year is book death at my school, so I wouldn't have time anyway.

Voice-acting looks really fun. Ever since I saw that Magic-Schoolbus voice-acting thing, I've wanted to~ It didn't sprout from anime. And I scare people with my range to especially when I go high from my normally deep voice. My voice-mail message tends to either freak people out or make them laugh~ It's quite fun. But I've also wanted to be a marine biologist. I'm not that smart though, so I might be better off acting. I have to enrich my vocab for that though. ^^; Everyone wants me to be a doctor though, and they laugh at my aspirations and say that I won't get enough money, etc. etc. :/

I want to voice all of my characters if I ever successfully make that visual novel~<33 I sound silly and nerdy, I'm sure.

On a sidenote, my cousin saw my Lola's (her grandmother) ghost in the Philippines.

Ohhh neat~ I never thought of you as being the actor type! That is awesome that you have an interest in it. Acting well is extremely difficult. *_*; Try not to let people's opinions of your aspirations get you down... follow your own heart ;-;. I have no doubt that you are smart enough to become a doctor if you wanted, but someone who becomes one for the money rather than for the love of it is not going to be a happy person.

You can get "enough" money from any number of jobs... I guess it depends on your standard of living and how much money you really think you need. Doctors do make quite a lot, but you don't have to have so much to live a happy and successful life. I know that I would prefer to live a happy life in a less-expensive city with a job I hopefully enjoy somewhat, rather than force myself into a field I am not inspired by just so I can live in a big house with a fancy car. People like that... they have so much, they look happy, but inside they are just stressed out all the time, and that's not my idea of a good life.

Maybe you could do some voice acting for our visual novel with Fawkes? *_*;; Pompi is (hopefully) going to be helping us with the CG backgrounds and stuff, and we currently don't have voice acting planned, but if you would be interested then maybe I can talk to Fawkes about it~ *_*

<33 I'd love to try voice-acting for your visual novel! I think it'll be better until after I take drama classes so that I can get used to scripts instead of just yelling out random phrases that pop up in my head. I don't think my microphone's too great sounding either. ^^; Too many male voices will be a problem though. I can only vary it to about three voices for older males. :D;; If I do do the voices, I suggest a turn off voices button since I'd probably still be new at that point. :)
Whee, visual novel project~

Yeah, I agree with you that people who make a lot of money tend to be really stressed out. Enjoyment is much better than the material gain, in my opinion. Voice actors tend to be really happy, too, so I look up to them more than a chunk of materially wealthy people. On a more random note, I guess I'm slightly agoraphobic since I find big houses scary. DX;

Hehe~ XD that is a good idea! Crows project is pretty small and almost complete (waiting on me finishing arts >_<;; ), so that one will probably be left as is. But currently we are working on Noctua~ and don't worry about the male voice problem. X3 I believe the only characters are two girls and then the 1st person character, who is male.

I don't mind a big-ish house as long as it feels lived-in. A big empty house is scary. @_@ But if there are enough people roaming around for it to feel alive, then it is okay. ^^ A pet helps a lot too... my doggie always made the house feel warm and alive when he was there. Without him, the house felt cold and empty.

Good luck, Jamu! DDX
Oh, wow, only that many characters? XDD That's a lot of male talking though, so I'll practice!

I live in a cramped apartment, so even our fish makes it seem alive even in that little corner of his/hers. If I know the people in it, I wouldn't have a problem with a large house if, as you said, they made it feel alive. :3
