BirdSomething
So, you’ve probably been wondering where I’ve been the last month and a bit (unless you’ve been keeping up with my first and currently latest rp here, which is kinda starting to heat up towards something really really great 
—I’d like to think that anyway
) Well…answer to that’s quite…multifaceted (hey, like a gem—now I’m making SU gem puns --goes to show I’m still sobering up/now high on caffeine and love 
—more on that later)
So first off…uni. Actually, UNI!! YEAHHHH!!! 
I’ve started, and it’s been a heck of a lot of fun (I’m really glad I chose my course, which is pharmacy btw—yes, I’m an creative AND a scientific force. Right brain AND left brains I have aplenty--the best of both worlds! What are the odds? 
)
However, I’m up to week 4 of my uni now, and let me tell you…it’s quite hectic. Not as stressful as high school—at uni I’m actually really really motivated to do well—even more so than high school, and ESPECIALLY more than fucking VCE. For one I’m actually really passionate about my course, and I actually like learning stuff (one of my top ten traits actually---see if you can guess the other nine 
, hint, one's of them starts with l, another one starts with t, and both result in an optimistic yet kinda naive dreamer ) So yeah...it’s a vicious cycle--only here I’m actually getting better and better and more and more on top of my work, unlike VCE…where it was the opposite...like I said, I love high school, and its community, and what it did for me in my growth and development as a person, but fuck VCE. FUCK IT. Fuck it right fucking away, and never have it come back. Ever (sorry about the profanities--still kinda drunk, and on alcohol and coffee and love too --once again, more on that later)
So yeah…I’d say I’m settling really well into uni. Still, there are hiccups—I’m a first year, so I’m still trying to learn the ropes (like first year high school, or year 7 for me—only I’ve come out of the majority of my shells, and am actually quite confident with myself now, which is a lot better than freaking six years ago—heck THREE years. …If you met me three years ago, you wouldn’t even bloody recognize me—it’s that big of a change. And one that’s for the better 
—I hope so anyway )
Also, my laptop decided to be a total flaker, and has pretty much died on me, the bloody little bugger. Thankfully after I got it backed up, otherwise I would be feeling REALLY peachy—sarcasm so so intended btw 
(and yes, I am writing another laptop—a good friend’s actually—he’s good with computers, and had a spare, and yeah...the rest is history 
) So in regards to vids—and even stories…I’ve been quite delayed--believe it or not I had something prepared for you—my very first let’s play series! Currently sitting raw, and unedited on my expansion drive, waiting for a worthy laptop to realise its true potential...probably not my old one—not before it does a lot of redeeming itself anyway (and update...it probably won't, the flaker...)
I even have ideas for some new series, including vlogs, which I really want to get started with. And something really really cool with my flute—I play flute btw 
More on those gems later )
Plus, I’ve been really in the zone for ideas lately, particularly for my Inquisitor Chronicles (which now officially has--to me anyway--the abbrivation IC!) main series and my Inquisitor Chronicles Zombie Apocalypse (now with the semi abbrivation ICZA!) Future youtube series, still currently in production. (as well as one I might one day do...the only hints I'll give you is that it continues from a certain story of mine, will be a future comic series, on youtube with audio if my crew can take it...which probably won't be for a while, busy lives and all that . And lastly...it may or may not be a crossover between IC...and Steven Universe/SU --stay tuned for that one too )
I will say though...while ICZA is still early in production (not even started the art for ch1 early ) I’ve got a lot of new characters for a starter, and I can really start to see the whole series coming together—right now a skeleton (barely even) but hopefully eventually as something more...maybe even as a whole someday (which I hope is soon—but hey, can’t rush good things, now can we?)
So yeah...what else is there...what else is there...well, some fun stuff actually—first off I’m in the middle of production for the start of a new club at my uni. What club I hear you asking, a rhetorical question that I’m sure is igniting your excitement for what I say next? Why...A WRITER’S CLUB OF COURSE! For creatives, academics, and all those who want to improve their writing, or enhance it—a community of fellow creatives, and hopefully fellow friends (if it does become a reality, which I hope will be sometime this year—maybe even sometime this semester ) Right now I have its proposal drafted up—and now my uni union (try saying that a hundred times) know about it, and are actually very open and welcoming about it. Next stage will be hearing me and my proposal out—about 2-4 weeks from now, and then...well hopefully after that good things. I’ll keep you informed on that gem (and yes, SU will be one of the things we’ll cover, in terms of plot, themes, stories and characters—which are by far some of the best you can ever ask for—and which are some of my favourite of all time )
Also...I had a first birthday! (not me obviously —my 19th is in June, where I’ll finally be considered a true adult...by my local public transport guys... Both a blessing and a heartache, for reasons which I’m sure you can figure out yourself ) A cousin of mine, Oscar, who is one of the most adorable babies ever! He loves music, FOOD, his family, friends, and people in general. I hope he grows up to be someone great—I can already sense it—his positive aura and soul too
I am aware btw, that with Oscar’s 1st birthday...marks a milestone later on in the month, something that well...not something I really want to talk about. I will say though...I hope my father’s happy that I’m currently doing pharmacy ...He wanted me to be a pharmacist after all...it was also one of the very last promises I made to him, days before well...I rather not get into more details, it’s well...not exactly the easiest thing to talk about.
...Now, on a much brighter note, right now I'm pretty damn happy. For reasons I've already outlined, and some others...actually, have I left anything out? Well...oh nothing much really, just the fact that I had my first St. Patrick’s day as a fully legal 18-year-old (a lot of fun I can assure you ) It also marks now (heh heh self-name puns! God I'm bad sometimes the first time I got legit drunk (not just tipsy, which I have before—I can let loose if I really want to ) And well...
My very first kiss
...that’s not from family/grandmothers—nonnas in my case—by accident
WARNING--THIS JOURNAL GETS REALLY MATURE HERE--ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN AND MATURE MIND, AND/OR LOVE PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, IN WHICH CASE YOU'RE AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL. AND IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT DIVERSE LOVE, OR HAVE IDEALS AGAINST THE SUBJECT, THEN SKIP THIS PART...IT GETS REALLY DEEP HERE
...First off, yes I am Italian, and yet I channeled quite an Irish spirit on St. Paddy’s (something I honestly don't regret in the slightest) And yes, the kiss was magical—I’m still buzzing from it. I'm still in a really lovey-dovey mood...despite certain implications of what my feelings regarding the kiss actually mean.
As for who kissed me...well let’s just say that it was someone I’ve liked for a while. Like A WHILE. Like, I'm not even sure if they know (and if you did, well...I got nothing on that one) It was nice, and I was hoping that they shared my feelings in that way. ...Turns out they were just really really drunk (something I’m still trying to process—but I’m fine now, relatively anyway) And yes, I still feel really good, and I still love them, but I also feel...well rejected. I understand though—and if you’re reading this, I’m sorry for the feelings I feel, and I’m sorry that I can’t really forget them—especially now. Maybe ever. Because there's something you should know. I've loved you for quite a while Despite your shortcomings. Despite mine. And while it may not have seemed obvious to you before, perhaps after all this, perhaps after this reading this, and thinking over stuff for a while, what I've been hiding from you for a while, you might finally realise just how much I really...well love you. Like love love. And if you still don't love me in that way, after all this, not even after a 100 years, well...I wish you all the best, and I hope we can still be friends. Because I do enjoy your company. No matter whether you're at your best, or at your worst. ...I just hope that after all this, you'll still enjoy being around me.
...Okay, for everyone else--and yes, the dear friend who surprised kissed me on St. Patrick's--if you’re still wondering what my sexual orientation is by the way, well let’s just say it’s...unconventional (I’ll give you a clue: insert any gender this dear friend could have been--and anything in between--and the kiss would still have been magical ) And yeah...I feel really comfortable with myself now, my sexuality too. Overall my identity feels...enriched. Where I feel like I belong too—my friends, family, and really my entire community and now uni community, really make me feel comfortable being who I am. And yes, there are certain people I know who still can't get over this revelation (including members of my family) But I hope in time, they'll still love me, for who I am. Because honestly...I've always been this way. I've never really...been in the norm, I've never really fit the status quo (if you've read my stories, or know me in real life, you'll see that for yourself) And now I know that for a fact that I DEFINITELY don't. And you know what? I'm okay with it. I'm okay being me. And really, that’s all I can ask for.
...and my dear friend's understanding—the one who kissed me--and yes--even when drunk, I remember you saying that you love me (even if you don't remember--or if you happen to--even if you didn't mean it the way I thought you did) Despite everything, I still love the person you are, and just know this...you're a really special person. Even despite your flaws, even if you don’t love me back in that way, as long as you're happy, it's fine. Even if it pains me. You see...I've never loved someone this way before. ...And by God, after that kiss...I can't stop thinking about you now
OKAY, NOW I'M DONE, WARNING ENDS HERE
Anyway, I think this update’s getting pretty big as it is. And yeah, I’m not kidding, this is probably the last big update I’ll make on my deviantart (unless it’s something that can only be communicated appropriately in words like this, which is my forte, as you may know ) But don’t fret, this is not the end of big updates, or rather updates in my life. ...That’s right, from here on out, I’ll be vlogging important stuff like this! You’ll finally get to see the person behind all these out-there writings (hint, I’m an Italian guy with really wild curly hair, who somehow loves both the sciences AND the arts, which includes the performing arts! Now I’ll just leave your inquisitive minds to do the rest. Use your imagination! --and if you already know me in real life...well, why hello there, and I hope you don't hate me for writing this journal...a lot of this really couldn't be bottled up for any longer you see)
And so, I’ll bid all of you adieu. Hope your day’s been wonderful, and that you are happy with who you are, and what you want to achieve in life, and that if you’re not happy, if you’re not comfortable with who you are, or if you don’t know where you’re going, or even who you really are...I believe in you, and I hope that your lives get a whole lot better
That’s all for now folks! Cheerio! ~And I hope to see you all soon!
PS: Yes, this entire journal was written while I was still sobering up, and while still buzzing from caffeine--which is now gone. So yeah...it's a bit more raw, and vulnerable than my usual journals (also a lot less rational, as you can probably see... ) Now, if you'll excuse, I'm going to collapse on my bed now, and try not to think at all for a bit...hardest thing to do in the world before, and still the hardest thing now, only much harder now Night! --zzzzzz
...zzz
Something Important I Need To Talk About
xiximagicramen.deviantart.com
If you want to help her please, go do that--comment on her page, note her, or something. Don't harass her though; just write something positive, motivational, something that'll help her out. Just please, if you can, even if it's only a little, please do it--she's one of the most positive and bubbliest peeps I know, but right now she needs some positivity from you guys.
So...I've been on a bit of a hiatus (aside from a very fun rp ) And yeah...that's probably going to continue, for multiple reasons. Firstly, I'm going into uni! (starts end of this month actually...woah, it really has been a while, hasn't it? ) Secondly, work work work (family franchise business kind of work, if you know what I mean) And thirdly...some other stuff. Background stuff. Personal stuff. All of that.
Anyway, I recently uploaded a little something on the good old youtube ...And yes, there are some characters from Inquisitor Chronicles in this Valentine's Day themed vid. Some really main ones. And yes, they are talking about Valentine's day. Some really really fun stuff
Now I'm sure you would want to know why. Well...aside from it being a bloody lot of fun obviously, and it being around Valentine's day, there is something I would just like to let you know...a project. A fun project. A project me and quite a few others are a part of. A really fun project, with some characters from Inquisitor's, thrust into a zombie apocalypse. MY INQUISITOR CHRONICLE CHARACTERS IN A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE ONLINE COMIC, WITH AUDIO AND VOICE-ACTING AND MORE MORE MORE...
Now, we don't really know when the first part's going to up. All that we know is we have the script, we have played around with it, and we have some concept art...that's pretty much it. ...Still...PROGRESS
Anyway, that Valentine's day vid was just a fun little something me and a couple of close friends did (who are also project and cast members, as you can see): Nesceda, and Emily, also known as the wonderful Xion Kelly...or Xiximagicramen over here (also forgot this xiximagicramen.deviantart.com) And yeah...we had a lot of fun with that. You will too, if you click this little itty bitty link right here
Just letting you know, this project has been in the works for a while (since mid Jan actually) and will continue to be of course. Of course, that does mean that this little hiatus will continue for a bit, but I'll see if I can submit something when I can...just don't expect it for a while. Of course, if you want to rp, I'll be more than happy to do that (I've already got one, with Em, and it's been a hell of a lot of fun )
Anyway, first part of INQUISITOR CHRONICLES ZOMBIE APOCALPYPSE (that's it name, probs not in caps, I'm just really excited about this ) probably won't be up for a while (we are all pretty busy peeps, and that includes the visual, comic-drawing artist too Chloe) So yeah...till then, enjoy this Valentine's day vid, and enjoy the hype for this project! The group's certainly is!! I certainly am!!!
Belated 2017 New Year Resolutions!
So we're pretty much halfway into the first month of the New Year, and I know, it's pretty late for this...but damn it, I'm still going to do this!
(...And we still have Chinese New Year coming, so that's...something else I wanted to bring to light...to further validate this...)
Anyway, before I begin however, let's take a look at my 2015 new year resolutions, see if I actually fulfilled them. (somewhat fulfilling them kinda counts too btw)
"A couple of good stories here and there" Well, I think that happened. Opinions are subjective though, so...yeah.
"My own little series" Well Inquisitor Chronicles is well under way. Only five chapters, but I managed to sneak in some fun stuff (specials and that), and I've got a lot more notes and ideas (especially after November...I've done so much fleshing out with Inquisitor's you wouldn't believe it!). So...yeah. Progress!!
Anyway, without further ado, here it is; my second round of new year resolutions, for 2017!
1. Continue Inquisitor Chronicles (of course), and get up to...let's say chapter 10, 15 (although with my pretty busy life...heh...I'm making it at least...five more chapters? Maybe?) —Hopefully anyway. It can be pretty tough at times, and then there's uni to think. Oh and Btw, I'm starting uni this year. So...that's something. ...Here's to that too!
2. Get Inquisitor Chronicles out there. A mini-series or something. It's a universe very dear to me, and something I would love to see it branch out into something else. In fact...I'm in the middle of developing something BIG at the moment. ...As for what it is...that's going to stay secret for now. I'll let you know, all in due time now, don't you worry now. Anyway, stay tuned for that. It's something I'm really excited about.
4. Get my youtube more developed, and do some stuff with it: narrations comic dubs, songs and song covers, skits, let's plays, and more. You know, fun stuff. Making fun content and all that jazz. (Really excited about this too!)
5. Post more stories, and create more!
Hope you enjoyed that. I do have some more...personal new year resolutions for 2017 as well. I'll let you in on one of them though: do more this year. Be more efficient with my time and all that. It's something I kinda need to work on...
Anyway, there you have it folks, my 2017 New Year resolutions!
2017'S STARTING OFF WITH A BANG!!!
So it would seem I had vanished into thin air
...Or did I?
No, but seriously, let's get down to business. First things's first: HAPPY NEW YEAR!! YEAH!!! 2017!!!!!
Sorry about the lack of activity—I've been...preparing something.
...Yes that's right.
The surprise is finally here.
The one I've been trying to show you since last year but haven't yet due to multiple MULTIPLE delays!!
UNTIL NOW!!!!!
...
...
.......
...I HAVE A YOUTUBE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's right!!! To kick off this exciting new year (and with a pretty sizable bang I might add) I HAVE A YOUTUBE NOW!!
And I have a vid over there now! Literally just finished uploading it...Something that was supposed to be up for New Year's. But has just been uploaded now!! Because of...a very troubled development process! (over two months, 34 takes, AND THE EDITING MY GOODNESS 
...There were also some other complications...in regards to that...let's just say that that up til now I've been stuck behind in 2016...
But now I feel freaking fantastic! And excited for this freaking 2017! Woooh!!! YEAH!!!
Here's a gigantic link right here to a narration of my VERY FIRST story here on Deviantart, now more than one year ago. (ahh, good times...) go check it out!!
here's a little link right here as well btw [link]
Btw, just letting you know, I was aiming to start last year. ...But now it's 2017...so yeah...this is a fresh start for me in terms of youtubing. After the fiasco that is THE END OF SECONDARY SCHOOLING, I've been trying to get my youtube underway—and yes, the youtube surprise was this. Give yourself a hug if you guessed right! ...Oh who am I kidding? Give yourself a hug anyway! You deserve it! All of you! 
However, there were been...complications. Like figuring out certain video editing and uploading shtick. And how to curb my perfectionism and OCD (...as you can see, it's been a long brawl with those nuisances...) (and yes I do have OCD...I'm a bit of a quirky individual in case you haven't noticed—a well-adjusted one, but not without my quirks. And I've got A LOT of quirks)
But finally, with 12 days into the New Year (and getting out of the house and doing productive stuff, like work, being with family, working with family at work) I've been able to soar into 2017, and actually make a youtube channel that I can commit to. And boy do I feel renewed (especially after all the...setbacks...)
Anyway, to prepare for this I've done quite a few little things here and there! I got a mic! I got my laptop "revitalised" (replaced hard drive to make it a mean clean fighting machine! I got video editing software! I...'ve yet to get a capture card, so occasional let's plays probably won't happen for a little bit. (but it's something I DEFINITELY want to do in the future) ...I...also need to actually work out how to record an actual let's play (to me for some reason, I'm just not getting the setup right)
And...I still need a camera (other than my laptop camera, or my family's 10 year vintage camera, or my tiny little one that I brought with me when I went to Japan in 2015—and yes, I did go to Japan) But for now, you'll be hearing a lot of my voice! ...And maybe some flute... (btw I also play flute, as well as sing...hmm...I've been telling you a lot of things about myself that you probably didn't know before, now haven't I? 
)
Regardless though, I've got a mic, so expect a lot of narrations ( and songs! (and yes, if you've already seen the vid, that is my voice) And maybe dubs—I'm not too sure yet. For now, I'm just going to have fun with whatever, and find out what I really enjoy (already know I love acting and singing, so just got to see if I enjoy other people listen to me...I'm getting used to it... so feel free to check that out! It's a lot of whimsical fun!!!
Here's the link to the channel itself, where I'm going by PrinceofBirds (doing different stuff, might as well have a different name ). I'll still stick with BirdSomething here of course! (despite a certain...paradox...) Because A: I really like the name, and B: I don't have core, and I can't get core anytime soon (don't have online cash) and therefore I can't change it anyway. ...So...yeah...enjoy the paradox...
So...yeah...I'VE GOT A YOUTUBE NOW!!! I'M NOW A WRITER AND A YOUTUBER!!! THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!!!
HERE TO'S A WONDERFUL 2017!!!
P.S: This took me another all-nighter to finish... (...My God, why can I only complete big projects like this with all-nighters? I hope this doesn't become a regular occurrence...I kinda need that sleep. ...Also I don't think I can take another one...for at least another month )
