Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. One of my old friends-of-a-friend who I met, like, once, she went to art college, right? She was your typical anime artist.

Her first mistake was going to art college.

But that's none of my damn business. Lots of people go to art college and do just fine. Maybe she's having fun with stop-motion animation.

Stop-motion animation. I can almost see the progression. She says she's into anime. They say she's into animation. She says she doesn't want to draw Superman or Bugs Bunny. They say she's into stop-motion animation. Dinosaurs follow.

Right, so she went to art college or something and now she doesn't draw anime anymore. It makes me want to puke.

EDIT: Ahhhhh SHIT. I gained eight pounds since last October. (When I went on vacation and started this overeating spree I've been on.) *walks off muttering*

EDIT:
1. Eat more slowly.
2. Pay extraspecialtwinkly attention to when I'm not feeling hungry anymore.
3. Consider switching pepsi for ice cream. (I get tired of ice cream faster.)
4. Let go of the Azumanga manga; there's a lot of talk about EATING in that.
5. Lay off the retort curry, it's making me sick anyway.
6. Go pick out a bunch of lean cuisine things to eat for lunch.
7. Make mom put out broccoli or carrots before we eat, when we do eat together, so I pig out on those.

Ah. Are you talking about who I think you're talking about? Yeah...I was dissappointed by her sudden desire to stop drawing anime. It's like people go to art college, and suddenly that style of drawing isn't MATURE or HIP or ARTSY enough. Arg.

Yeah, it's probably the person you're thinking of. Technically it's called being a sellout, but that would imply it's all her fault, and I think it's not. Art schools do everything in their power to make people feel like anime isn't good enough, or they at least refuse to acknowledge it. So it's really no wonder. The more I think about it the more I want to run away to Neptune.

But to add another disclaimer, it really is none of my damn business.
