I'm currently a 15 year old in England applying for 6th form subjects in my school which will shape my path to university; as of just over one year ago now, I grew a frantic obsession with manga, drawing and comics, inspired by Mark Crilley and Scott McCloud. Since then, I've been doing drawing after drawing or experimental process to hone my skills, though I'm still not very good at what I do, if even decent (the "Art!" thread here pretty much contains all my bigger works). Nevertheless, I try to motivate myself to get off my lazy ass and do more to improve, because this is the only path I really want to take; I was previously obsessed with computers, gaming and robots, but I quickly realized that only gaming seemed to be a thing that could have a potential future career for me in it; and I haven't even done anything regarding that, so this is the only option I really have.
I'm currently building a portfolio to submit to the art department in school so I can apply for Art A Level, and am also planning to study English Literature and Psychology. Subjectwise, I hate Maths and most of Science, and any other subject that requires heavy use of formulas and facts. I like subjects such as Art (which I didn't do for GCSE...) and Philosophy in R.E which require more creative or imaginative thoughts, however.
In real life, I'm rather shy, sometimes hostile, to those I don't know (particularly shy around girls I don't know, for some reason that I still can't figure out), but I've pretty much stuck with friends I've known for the whole of my life, or just from the beginning of high school; I am not a "make new friends" person. I'd rather stick to the ones I have because I understand them and know them the most, (even if they crack sex jokes whenever we gather). Therefore, I'm usually extremely hurt if one stabs me in the back. I'm very sensitive, but these days I've learned not to exaggerate smaller issues (though the big ones still hit me hard), and I have trouble keeping some control on most of my emotions, something which I've wanted to do for years. That aside, I usually act very silly (something which I also want to stop doing), and I can not resist speaking out puns whenever I think of them. Unsurprisingly, nobody ever laughs.
Umm... is that it? Well, life at home is nice; my parents are respectful (they have their flaws, like anyone), and respectable, and I'm free to play a lot of games and draw (although I wish the former didn't take up so much of my time; c'mon, Roo!), and provided I do my dreadfully boring homework I'm not really yelled at or anything, so it's fine there... though I do wish I stopped feeling tired all the time, what with the null limbs and all. I'm most worried about my upcoming GCSEs because they're tough but involve a lot of subjects that I just hate and don't want to put the effort into.
That's about it.
