Kakurenbo (Hide and Seek): The launch pad!

Since a blog is basically a diary/journal that everyone can look at, and since we're talking about change here... I thought it would be a good idea to go back and look at the changes in my life so far. Soooooo...I went and found my journals from when I was 14! I have no idea why I started keeping a journal, but when I read it I really think it should've been a blog... because it really was like I wanted someone to read it. It even had an invitation on the front!

Apparently I wanted attention.

Anyway, it was interesting to read because I had started writing at a point when I was thoroughly into animation, but hadn't discovered anime yet and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life... and I couldn't spell for crap.

For example, 6/12/2004 "Melanie (my little sister) came home today and told us all about Tera (an episode of the cartoon Teen Titans). We (My big sister and I) did research on the episods to come, and boy are we excited. Ashly (Neighbor) came over today and we played DDR ("Dance Dance Revolution"). She's geting better. Neopets still isn't working"
........................ I really wish I had that kind of free time anymore. =.=

So, my analysis of myself from then to now, is that I've Japanified myself, set goals, gotten a job and proper schooling (I'm not griping about it anymore anyway), that my personality hasn't changed at all and I have no more free time. However, the interests that had at that time haven't died away. Rather, they have developed into skills and ambitions which I am constantly working towards attaining excellence in! This is something that I'm very happy about. And I suppose that from here on out we'll be seeing how this thing will continue to unfold together. Let me end this blog with my last journal entry from 2/23/2005:

"This is the second note book I have completely filled with my life. I hope you enjoyed it. And not in that 'Hahaha! What a Loon!' sorta way. 'Cause I'm not a loon!"

(Here are some of my old drawings I dug up as well between 2004 and 2009. Apparently in 2007 I thought I was amazing and afterwards I stopped caring if my name was on it.)

2004 (TEEN TITANS!)
