Earthquakes, drawing and gaming!

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 19, 2006, 8:28 AM
Right, let's try and make a concerted effort to use this thing, shall we? XD

Today I experienced my first earthquake! I think I've been very lucky since I moved to Japan, it's been more than three months now and I hadn't had even the tiniest twinge. Unfortunately, talking to one of my friends who has been here for nearly a year she said that Nagoya hasn't had a big earthquake in a very long time, and everyone had been advising her that it's due one! I'd rather not think on that too long, since the tiny one earlier had me a nervous wreck for a bit. XD

It wasn't very bad at all, only a 2/3 level earthquake (on the Japanese scale, which is from 1-7 with anything under 3 usually not noticable at all, and 7 being a "great" or disasterous earthquake, causing serious damage for a radius of hundreds of kilometres.) but the epicentre was in the north of my prefecture/the south of the neighbouring prefecture. So yeah... Scary!!

I mentioned games because at the time of the earthquake I'd been playing Harvest Moon 3 for about 8 hours solid, with one of my friends here playing at the same time on her DS . It was kind of amusing, since the only thing that got us to stop playing for even a short period was an earthquake XD

Speaking of drawing, though, I'm kind of working on something else at the moment but it's difficult so far and I'm not liking how it's turning out, so we'll see what happens. I really need to find something to motivate myself to keep producing on a very regular basis at the moment, so I'm trying to establish little trading things with some artist friends, but since everyone is so busy at the moment with their so-called real "lives" we'll see XD

And that's it from me for the moment! Let's hope there are no more earthquakes! It was like I'd just stumbled on the next colossus... Ok, let's leave the other gaming in-jokes for another entry... XD

Hello 'ello

I have been a long time watcher, and I decided to come out of the shadows to tell you about my new account. I used to be , but something has taken over my imagination, and to celebrate the Trojan Horse victory, I've created a new account..

So, step in. Relax. Let me know what you think, and your imagination has permission to run amuck..! I would be honored..

Peace, and I'm out :D

Gorgeous paintings, you use Painter, and a tablet? Gosh how I'd love one of those in my stockings, but my technologically impaired mother wouldn't know where to start! I keep getting kittens.
Cool gallery anyway!:)
