Well, hi there, folks!
Um, in case you're wondering about the name, it was meant to be Pinecone Tortoise, but if it told me it was going to lop of the last two letters, I didn't see it coming. ^^;;;
Anyways, about me - I is from Aussie-land, that drought-infested (excepting the spots what is currently flooding or on fire) place down south and out in the water a bit.
My likes?
- Miniature umbrellas and exotic straws. Novelty items just don't come much neater than that.
- Birds. Had two, both deceased. Cocktiels they was. Adorable and affectionate.
- Computer. I hasn't named it, but why would I? Do you name your hands?
- Drawing. MUCHLY BIG ON THIS ONE. ^^ And seeing pretty things, which basically counts as seeing in general.
My 'don't likes'?
- Static electricity is a big one. >< Nooooot nice.
- Cat behaviour. A day or so after scooping a turkey chick out from a neighbour's stove where their kitty had chased it is like, so NOT the time to be brandishing these cute critters at me. As much as I think they're pretty to look at and presumably pleasant to stroke, I is somewhat sick of them removing the wildlife from my locale and replacing it with ... droppings.
- Anime/manga as a series and, in general, culture.
Uh, please don't boot me out on sight for that last one. I STILL HAS REASONS TO BE HERE!! Most of which can be found in the last point on my likes list above. The anime art style, I find, is gorgeous. Detailed, beautiful, delicate and simple. But I've yet to come across it in a story that both held my interest and didn't start my conscience gnawing me into submission. I know there's a lot of ways to justify following a lot of fandoms - but justifying justifying something contentious suggests I'm looking for how I can get away with pleasing myself in ways I know are dubious rather than trying to please God as best I can. I isn't as dutiful as that in all areas of my life, but this is one I feel I can pull through on. Got too deep before my conversion and feel much... better... for abandoning it since. And hey, yeh never know - some talented artist might someday take it upon themselves to produce something WITHOUT the crudity, sensuality and magic/demons but still WITH the interest. Mhmm... that'd be nice. ^^
So yeah, if you can tolerate someone veering away from canon anime and fangirlism, I hope to linger around the art section and pick up a few tips. Can't say my stuff is solidly anime (though it might be nice to try something for yer technical reasons... hmm....) but it sure was anime influenced.
Anyways, gotta scoot!

Feel free to post lots of your pictures in the gallery! Anyways, have fun, post a bunch, and drop by the chat sometime!
Yes, it is a great tragedy that perfectly innocent words are sometimes "dirtified" as language progresses... or regresses, as the case may be. I look forward to your linguistic revolution.
