An introduction!
Yes... This is the author of the filthy bloggy rag you now hold at your fingertips. This pic's a little old, but I happen to like how I'm wearing my brown silk headband. (And I don't have a more current one I feel like sharing.)

... Oh, come on! Blogs aren't that bad! *raspberries* Besides, this isn't just a blog, it's a display of artistic expression... A cry for critiques (Constrctive preferred...), a plea for...

... No, sorry, lost it. But, anyways, it's a showcase. I come here to blah about my week, maybe, or drop off some pictures of STUFF I drew or made, entertain the miniscule masses actually paying attention... You name it.

Alright, uhh... Brief Bio...

I prefer to be called Ru, Ruhane, Ruchii, or Ruhane Chiisai, primarily because I'm a mild nutcase paranoid about releasing my real name on the web. (I have a facebook account I didn't even use my name for.. You'll find me under Ruhane Chiisai, if you're interested...)

Uhh... I'm a games whore... on facebook... Don't really... Get the whole... Social networking thing. It's beyond me. (But I'm a pessimistic asshat who's opinion of the place mankind is turning our home into dwindles in hope each day and every time I hear my man's computer shoot off the news with some depressing story about racism, death, disaster, or the weather, so that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.)

Uhh... I'm 23... My birthday's on March 4th...

Huge pokemon fanatic (This will NEVER change, so shut up and stop trying.) Anime nut to the core (The only 'bad' anime is one I have watched to death...) Lover of all things oriental, and generally a japanophile. A sidenote... While I AM an admitted pokemon addict, bringing up pikachu brings out an AK47 and referring to mudkips at all in a grammatically incorrect format will PROMPTLY get you SHOT... With a wet fish...

I'm not your stereotypical 23-year-old, I'm no cookiecutter blogger (I actually have a burning despize for blogging, but I'm doing it anyways to try and work on my dependability.)

On the other side of the SAME hand... I am by no means PERFECT. My teeth are crooked, I'm a terrible cynic, I have acne, on top of Psoriasis, and the associated Psoriatic arthritis. This doesn't necessarily stop me from doing my art, because, let's face it, I'm a CHILD in a woman's body. I have the mentality towards life and people of a 12 year old (AKA: It's meant to be LIVED, not Muddled through, and everyone is an innocent friend until they prove themselves otherwise), although most 12 year olds hate pokemon nowadays, it's depressing... This mentality also breaks once in a while when I allow myself to think about the state humanity has fallen into with the greed and corruption running rampant throughout all of his weak little knees.

Never grew out of Gatchapons, either. Those little machines that turn out the random stupid prizes and bouncy balls? I'm more picky about them, but I still LOVE seeing what comes out of that pain-in-the-ass-to-open little capsule. It's amusing how much childlike wonder hits my eyes. And I collect temporary tattoos from the same machine, now that I have safe places to put them. (I used to, but we had problems with gremlins making them disappear for a long time. By the time I found them again, they'd been ruined by any number of occasions that pissed me off. TT-TT)

And, as far as my art, the clay, particularly, I WILL make you a piece if you want. Contact me via one of the methods below to arrange it and mail me 5.00 US cash plus shipping costs, per charm. (If you order more than one charm at a time, you probably only have to pay the shipping charge once. I'm new to this, so be patient with me. I'll reiterate this in the 'Solids' page.) I work on commission, and each piece is hand-made, so even if two people order the exact same thing, and they are shipped at the same time, they will be two unique pieces, in at least some small way. (I try harder to match earrings appropriately.)

I'm also minorly yellow-smiley phobic, so I have the damned things turned off on my IM programs.

Speaking of, if you'd like to get hold of me, I'm easiest reachable on YIM, with AIM and MSN as secondaries and Gaiaonline.com as a tertiary contact line. (I'm on all three nearly every day, almost all day, as long as I'm awake, until I have a job.) If there's something you wish to talk to me, please feel free to send me an IM. (Please include more than a blank message: I've been having problems with hooker services doing that lately, and I now automatically report all of them as spam. So... Again... Do NOT send me a blank message, if you're not one of those services.)

Here is my contact information, if you need me.
