Tagged.

This is the first time I've done this so what the hell. Let's give it a shot. If something's wrong with the linking and tagging, just bear with me.

1) You must post these rules
2) Share 10 facts about yourself
3) Answer the 10 questions asked by the person who tagged you and make up 10 questions for people you tag
4) Choose 10 people and put 10 icons in their journal
5) Not something like, "You are tagged if you read that".
6) You have to legitimately tag 10 people.
7) No tag-backs.
8) You can't say that you don't do tags.
9) You MUST make a journal entry! No comments.

How do you find the way to DeviantArt? My friend introduced the website to me back in high school. Been using it ever since.

Which one is your favorite picture? To be honest, I don't know which one is my "favorite." There's so many I appreciate and keep coming back to look at I really can't decide. :/

Who is your best friend on Deviantart? Five. Speedway66, LightninRob , Niji-Cookies , DragonAllons-y , and DJXtremist (who recently retired his DA account and moved to Tumblr).

Who is your favorite cartoon character? I'm stuck between Shaggy Rogers and Scarecrow from "The New Batman Adventures."

What is your favorite cake? Oreo ice-cream cake. Yes, it exists.

Which animal is your favorite? Owls. Barn Owls to be specific. They are the stealthiest of all birds-of-prey and have the most intimidating vocalizations (intense, high-pitched screeching). I should know, I have barn owls living near my house.

If you can build a house on every place you ever want, which place do you choose? I'd build a house in San Fransisco, just outside the city limit so I'm in a more rural and quiet area but I'm not too far from the city itself.

Optimist or pessimist? Neutral. I can be both.

Do you got a secret your parents doesn't know? They don't know about my plans to become an intern and writer for Cartoon Network. They also don't know about the stories I'm writing. They'll find out eventually. Parents always do.

If you can choose one superpower, which one? Indestructibility. I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!!!


10 facts about me:

2. I have 10 sketchbooks filled with drawings and I'm closing in on my eleventh. Speed has me beat by thirty, though...

3. I have an unofficial twelfth sketchbook that is used solely for pin-up sketches. No, I won't put it on DA. I'm taking that shit to my grave.

4. I'm not good with technology. Kinda sucks for me in this day and age.

5. My father and I are both craft-beer enthusiasts. We even brewed our own beers, from Porter's to IPA's (India Pale Ale).

I am involved in two music projects: Glass Phantoms, a Dubstep-Metal fusion band consisting of  LightninRob (keyboards, vocals), DJXtremist (Turntables, DJ, Bassist, mixer), my little brother (drums), and me (Guitarist, bassist, vocals). The second project is Ravens, Progressive-Metal. This project is just my little brother (drums) and I (guitar, bass, vocals).

7. I have fourteen total ideas and stories I am making progress on.

8. I live in Watsonville, California. This is the same town the famous voice actor Grant George grew up in.

9. My music influences my art. If I want to make something more family-friendly, I listen to Pop music. If its more abstract, Classical. If it's cartoons or comedic, Punk Rock, Rap or Hip-hop. If it's anything else, Electronic and Heavy-Metal with all it's sub-genres.

10. I'm actually related to Boris Karloff, the original Frankenstein Monster. He is a distant cousin on my father's side as my family tree puts it. While incorrect, I like to call him "Uncle Boris" just for the fun of it.
