Got tagged to do this and my lunch date with my mom got pushed back, so why not?

The tag rules:

1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. tags should write a journal of these facts
4. at the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

8 FACTS (you probably never wanted to know)

1. I'm a bit OCD. I think a lot of people are and it's not any big deal-- I'm sure not on the level of Monk, or anything, but when I don't have anything else to do at the library (where I work), I straighten the spines on all the books so they're even. I used to eat the carrots out of my food before anything else, but I made myself stop 'cause that was a little weird.

2. I love animation. That's not much of a secret, but I'll watch just about anything if it's animated. Back when it came out on tape, I voluntarily watched "Cool World" twice. In a row. I didn't care about the plot or anything else, I was just watching the animation. I actually have no idea if a lot of the movies I have are any good as movies because I'm too blinded by the animation.

3. I'm emotionally addicted to coffee. It's not too physically hard for me to stop for a while, and in fact I do it just to decaffinate every few weeks, but if I'm stressed out I'll want to get espresso every day, sometimes multiple times. I'm sure that doesn't help my stress levels any.

4. I'm irritated to distraction by sloppy building on movie previews at the theater. I used to work in a movie theater, and while I never learned how to build movies or preview reels, I did learn the other projection duties, and now I'm very conscious of all of it. If the previews are poorly built, or if the focus is off or the film goes off the sides of the screen, it really, really bothers me.

5. I'm not really a fan of action figures, but I absolutely adore maquette models and statues.

6. I buy a lot of cookbooks that I think look really interesting, and then I never wind up using them.

7. I hardly ever wear makeup because it makes me more self-conscious than when I don't wear it.

8. I have no idea what to put here, so we'll just pretend it's something terribly interesting.

Oh right, tagging. Uhhh... I dunno, do it if you want to, I guess.

School's been keeping me busy for quite some time (and will continue to do so for quite some time, too), but I have a very short break at the moment. I have a question for anyone who might know: I'm having trouble viewing any gallery, even my own, past the first page. The thumbnails won't load, and sometimes the entire table the thumbnails are in won't load. This happens with browsing people's favorites, too. Has anyone else experienced this or do they know what it is? Aside from extremely annoying, I mean.

Well my vacation is drawing to a close and classes start this coming week, so unfortunately, I have to close the commissions. Thank you to everyone who expressed interest, I really appreciate it, and if you didn't wind up getting one this time, then hopefully we'll catch each other next time. Also, if you had a reserved spot on the list, but we never really conducted business, I have to take a rain check. If you paid me but I'm still working on your commission, don't worry, you'll get it ASAP. ^^ Thanks again to everyone who contacted me about it.

Figured this journal's been up long enough, I need a change. Also, I'm thinking of selling my Nami Portrait of Pirates figure to finance a purchase of the reprint coming out. Why trade it a first print for a second printing, you ask? I like the colors better on the second version. Shallow, yes, but what else is a statuette for than looking at? And I find the dark brown pants on her more pleasing to the eye than the purple ones my current one has.

Of course, I still want the Ace, Franky and Luffy ones (why haven't they reprinted the Zoro yet?? Grrr), along with the second Nami mold and the Usopp/Chopper, Robin, and Smoker figures that I never wound up getting. I'd like to get Vivi but her mold is kind of bland, so she's at the bottom of the list. But yeah, contemplating selling her. I'll put it up in here if I decide to. Mostly just needed something to talk about.
