Doing multiple outlets/facets of creativity, but perhaps feeling similar things I felt when I was still in college, committing myself to too many things. In a musical, helping do production design on a movie, writing/practicing music for my first 45-minute set with my sister at a highly populated venue, making crocheted crafts for said venue... I may be in over my head again. Also trying to keep up with friends in Japan and trying to be a little be responsible helping take care of the dog we found abandoned in the woods, provide a place for nomads and other people seeking sanctuary to rest and be safe.

I don't want any of these things to not be happening. I think I just took on a lot at once, maybe in a desperate attempt to avoid having to think about my estrangement from both Japan and America, now not knowing what "home" is for me. It's not fair of me to use my creative outlets as a means to an end other than the good of the creative outlets. I'm just a little confused and lying sideways inside my head, looking at everything turned at a 90 degree angle. It's not necessarily good for me, but it's a temporary means of coping till I have my seasonal nervous breakdown.

Yes, the move is over, and here I am.

The creativity should sweep over me soon, I'm sure. I need to start drawing again. So much inspiration with these new cats running around the house, catching all the bugs and eating them.

Oh, yeah, and it's spring, too.

Damn. How many blogs do I have, that I update stuff once every six months, talking about the same thing in all of them?

Uh.. yeah. So, after that first documentary in school, I have graduated to have completed a 17-minuter and a 34-minuter, both (literally) made in Japan. My second year in Japan is coming to a close and I have a gargantuan amount of packing/cleaning/shipping to be doing (yes, Japan still let's you actually *ship* items in the mail, which makes for a much slower, but FAR cheaper sending).

And a new chapter of life begins, post-Japan. This should be interesting. The reverse culture shock should kick in in about.... four to eight weeks. Maybe. Ha. We'll see.

Well, I look forward to make music with my sister, making movies with my friends, and doing the storytelling that I've loved to do for a long time.

Holy shit. I have a lot of work to do...

i completed my first documentary and my first short film. WOOHOO!

i will be switching (and/or adding) to my list of majors here at ohio university. though now double-majored in theater performance and visual communication's interactive multimedia, i will be entering the domain of telecommunications under... that's right: animation and video game design: boo-ya! i feel delicious right now. scraping off the viscom and rubbing on the t-com.

so yes, it will be five years when i finish here. i don't care, i'm doing and learning what i love- better recognize!
