I haven't posted in awhile, and nobody seems to notice... that's okay, when I'm famous, I shall laugh at you puny mortals from my seat atop fame and fortune...
But anyway, i'm going to be posting about Ikkicon as soon as I get pictures from Kisa-chan. And i'll have some artwork too.

Thou art... something?
From how I act online, your opinion of me may be of a rather outgoing and hyper girl... but the internet allows me to show my true self, around anything but the computer, I am incredibly shy.
But that didn't stop me from participating in a Homeschool shakespeare play: The tempest.
Many people forgot lines, but we held it together, in fact, the only main problems (From my view) were the following: The hyperventilating that nearly occured as I hid behind the curtain before the first scene, the confused scramble due to too many characters and just plain getting lost, and lastly, The girl who seemed to get worse after practice.
The stage-fright was easily cured after the well-meaning-but-inadept-at-calming-people-down-girl gave up keeping me from shaking, which occured when another girl, who's talents never cease to amaze me, managed to calm me down without even really trying.
The scramble, nothing we could do about it, and we did manage to get in mostly on time.
But the third... Well, how can someone get worse after more practice? the more we tried to fix what she was doing wrong, the more she got it wrong! I told her several times each rehersal where to move in the fairy scene, and told her five times before the play, and whispered twice on stage, yet she STILL got it wrong. The first time we practiced, she got it right. The same with her lines, she did okay her first time off script, but she was getting worse the more we practiced.
The not-even-whispering while we were offstage didn't help my opinion of her.
But in any case, I survived, I think i have a sunburn from the stage lights, but we survived.

Old drawing, new look.
I drew this a long time ago, and posted it on my first day of deviantart. Since then, i have re-shaded it, added better bangs, fixed the eyes and arm, and added a good (For me anyway) background.
Here is the original:
And here is the new:
It's just amazing how people can improve! I like my newer version much better, and i'm getting even better at photoshop... Plus i'm just pleased that I managed to find the lenseflare.
See ya!

Konnichiwa!
Hello everyone! Michiyo isn't my real name, although I wish it was. The closest anyone will come to knowing my real name is 'Si' And I prefer to be called using a honorific. So call me Michiyo-chan or Si-chan.
According to my Japanese phrasebook, the url bit means "Michiyo's" and the title of my blog means "Michiyo's Diary" Although i'm not certain if it actually is or not, considering varying reliability.
What can i say about myself? Well... I'm very obsessed with Anime and Manga, which lead me to explore the culture of Japan, and later Asia in general. And I have the rather silly dream of becoming a manga artist, despite coming from pretty much every place but Asia.
So, If I actually get any readers, good for me.
