Guy and Jen’s Koko Dog is so lazy. She just plops her butt down and stiffs up like sack of potatoes when you try to walk her. http://gifshop.tv/m/PA8IW27J93/
Aspiring ninja with numerous interests: video games, photography, art, drawing, anime, comics, martial arts and Harry Potter.
This site will have a bunch of random crap, drawn from my various interests, hobbies and passions (see above). It's also a centralized domain that siphons all my posts of random interest from around the internet: from my webcomic and DeviantArt, to my Twitter and Flickr. It's basically my life in one place, put here by various internet services. I know, I'm such a tool. It also contains updates of my "101 Things in 1001 Days" list (see below).

101 Things in 1001 Days
A while ago, I read about an interesting online community centered around one major concept: to make a list of 101 things they want to do in 1001 days. I was immediately taken in by this, as I like to run my life somewhat similarly to RPG's. I consider things that I have to do as "quests" in my log, and once I do them, I cross them off and feel accomplished. It's like I have my very own subconscious leveling system, and unless I level up from my experiences, I find myself worthless. Suffice to say, officially making my own list kind of forces me to abide by a palpable, real life quest log...except, no saving the world from horrendous evil or collecting 100 Nirnroots or anything like that. Somehow I think this will help motivate me day-to-day, help me run my life better, and definitely appreciate it to its fullest extent..... I tried to pick stuff I've never done before, or put new spins on things I've already done. Many of them are things I feel I missed out on in childhood, and some of them I stole from other people's lists, lol. So yeah, here it is.
