Back to school

First week isn't looking up to be quite as exciting as I thought it'd be. :/ Well, the company of my peers is more than welcome, but I'm an artist, dammit. I can't exactly sit for hours listening how to measure chemicals with dead Italian people - Loschmidt, Canizaro, whatever.

On another note, just noticed that the blog's time setting apparently places me a little bit to the west. Being paranoid, I am okay with this. b^_^d

Contrary to what certain parties would have others believe, I do have friends just like all artsy nerds. As disclosing their personal information without approval would obviously be quite rude, I shall henceforth use painstakingly thought-out aliases. Ladies and gentlemen, I present:

• Ramius: Lad who introduced me to The Hunt for Red October, hence the name (not a good sign for creativity, I know >_>). Same age, same height as me but quite a bit leaner thanks to actually exercising. Got signed up for a good number of science competitions last year and hence tends to be a nice source of help for less pleasant subjects.
• Mabel: Short girl with Korean parents and what TV Tropes would probably describe as a Keet. Somewhat pushy at times, but generally nice enough and shares my artistic interests. 
• Hen: Actually a guy, despite what the name might imply, and a bit of a Crocodile Hunter enthusiast back in the day. Actually among the most popular in our year, oddly enough. Also a head taller than me. ._. Got paired with me for assignments quite a lot throughout the last semester and gradually came to enter our circle in some ways.

Apology for the uninspired nicknames - and hoping the descriptions didn't come off as too stereotypical. >\\\>

Other meatspace people may be written on from time to time, with nicknames should they be required. Assignments are coming up, and the state of internet access still isn't improving, meaning even less time to post here. ;_; Hoping to be able to return soon enough - in the meantime, thank you for reading!

In which a newcomer presents himself.

(note to self: refrain from spending all evening on a single blog post)

Just moved here with the rest of the family. Lovely neighbourhood: reasonable distance from the school, a few friends, some stores, and a little pond to hide unassuming victims in. But first and foremost, an introduction.

So... I happen to have a fair amount of free time for now, which I'm trying to put to use somehow. In short order I'll hopefully be working for my nth double-digit year of formal education. My family moved here as a result of, um, some family stuff, which might itself interfere with other affairs, for which I apologise in advance. I am also quite fond of arts, books and adorable/macabre objects of interest.

Also unable to describe myself if a nearby kitten were held at gunpoint. Le sigh.

For now, I'll probably look for things of importance and see whether the blog will take off or crash, and if it does crash, how long will it be until I return to glue it together, paint it in bright colours and big cartoon eyes and wish really, really hard for it to work.

So yeah. Cheers.
