Where most posts live. Contains general news that I cant otherwise categorise.

Avast! University!

I really should have posted sooner but the horses, just wernt up to it.

I’m at Uni now studying Science and Engineering. Its been 6 weeks into the course and its going swimmingly 😀

I also have a job at Greggs the Bakers (obvs its me we’re talking about.)

So things are all going peachy at the moment.

Should post more, the computer is right next to me most of the time… Maybe I’ll set this as my homepage 😀

Im still alive…

Good morrow kind sirs/madams,

I have moved into uni now and this should allow me to keep this a bit more updated than usual since I’m right next to the computer most days.

Move went ok, however the journey here took at least 2 hours which was awful. Nice room with a bright pinky-purply door.

I’ve got to go and get some milk since its all gone :S

Second Edition …

…Okay, so here I am in Wales. On my new PC, vista and all that Jazz. Got a pretty neat set up, had to buy some speakers, but for  Â£9.99, I’m not too bitter 😀

Now, ATM I’m listening to Blink 182, as that is what I was copying, and it seems that SouthanUK General, at this time, has 182 posts. LOL. [This’ll be 189. Kinda ruins the magic XD]

Now, I’m here in Wales, and have found that I HAVE HIOMEWORK xD Nah, my uni has sent me some shit about a “PRD” [personal reflective diary …I can only assume the faggotry of this name is cause I’m taking an art fag course which is probably mainly female] and it means I have to write what “inspires me” each day. Hmm. Could be interesting. It’s going well. I’ve done a “title page”, but need to catch up for teh week otr so of august that has passed me by xD. It’s only A5 big though, so it’s okay 😀

AS WELL AS THAT I have to do a load of drawings in an A4 sketchbook, of me, the world etc.

It should be fun though. Trying not to look at it as work. I like to draw. Should be good 😀 Hmm… I’ll let you know how it goes …

AS PER OTHER NEWS… Nah, actually that’s about it. Had to go into town twice today to sort out shit, and I find that [the second time I went] I needed a hundred pounds deposit to start a flex account. Fail.

Oh well. My space should be up now-ish. southanuk.co.uk/chij.

My first edition

This is Chij and here I am, on SouthanUK. I am a “Contributor” and will attempt to do so as much as possible.

Er… what to say, what to say.

Well… For any who don’t know me, …theres not much to tell really, unless you’re really interested, in which case, read on. If you’re not interested, WHY ARE YOU HERE? XD

I have [hopefully] completed A levels, and am going to do a foundation study in Art and Design at Glamorgan in Wales. Yes, Wales. I know. Far away. Blah.

I draw. This is, essentially, ALL I DO. That’s why there is a “[hopefully]” in the previous …paragraph? It was kinda short to be dubbed a paragraph, but the grammatical constraints deem it so.

Now. More stuff? I also play guitar, work out when I can, dress weirdly. I dont know. Nothing really out of the ordinary for the quintessential art student 18 years of age.

Blah. You’re still reading?

WHAT IS IMHO? Okay, let me explain. When you [in predictive text speak] type “going”, you press 4-6-4-6-4. Now, when typing 4-6-4-6, you come up with “imho”. Is it merely In My Honest Opinion? This I am told, but I do not like to agree with.

So yeah.

Chij out.

Shit Happens.

Bored Now.

Summer-Time Blues

Well, more like summer-time RAGE.

Why are jobs hard to come by?

All the good ones are gone by the time you get there.

Ah well. To stem this summer boredom, I’ve taken to watching some neeeeeeeeeeew anime.

Hidamari Sketch/ Hidamari Sketch x365

Hidamari Sketch Characters Hidamari Sketch centers around a young girl named Yuno who finally is able to get accepted into Yamabuki Art High School, which she has longed for. To attend the school, Yuno moves and starts to live in a small apartment building named the Hidamari Apartments (ひãÂ ã¾ã‚Š荘, Hidamari-sō) located near the school. Once there, she starts making new friends like her classmate Miyako and the second year students, Hiro and Sae. There is no real plot line to the story but rather the events of the characters’ everyday lives are shown as they attend the school together and get to know each other better.

Pretty Cool Anime, About art, although the first series doesn’t have much art in it.

Strike Witches (a bit NSFW)

Strike WitchesSet in a world similar to Earth in the mid twentieth century, Strike Witches tells the story of a fight to protect that world using a combination of magic and technology. The titular Strike Witches, a group of young women with high magical potential, have been gathered together from various nations in a task force to fight against the enigmatic Neuroi. This puzzling enemy force has appeared frequently and without warning in many areas across the world.

The opening song is very good, although some questions remain about the way they fly…. and why do they have fox (?) ears?

This should tide me over for a bit
