But I'm updating my journal. Not much, just one of those little chain messages.

Leave your name and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest/funniest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.

And if any of you are even vaguely interested in what's going on in my life, let's see...
I've started my second semester at my university. This one seems to be going better than the last, and I hope it stays that way.
I'm taking capoeira again this semester--exhausting and fun!
I'm able to go to the origami club this semester. (Yeah, it's about as nerdy as it sounds.) I couldn't go last semester, because it conflicted with my schedule.

That's it for now. Later!

Peace,

Fraze

Not entirely sure where to begin. Perhaps a little about me?

Not yet. I know most of you probably won't read past the first three paragraphs, so I'll put the most important thing first. I'm currently 1000 miles (1600 km) away from home and any means of taking pictures of my art. For this reason, I won't be able to add much for two months or so.

Now that that's over, where to begin...my name is Frazier, but online I prefer to go by my nickname--Fraze. I am currently a freshman attending a university in Arizona (for those of you outside the US, that's a state in the southwest of the US). My major is aerospace engineering.

I'll say it right now--I can't draw. Can't paint. Can't do anything visually artistic involving a pen, pencil, paintbrush, or just about any other implement. What do I do, you ask?

Origami. Yep, paper folding. I've done origami for about five years now. I think I'm now at the point where, in order to improve any more, I'll have to start spending a lot more on my art. High-end origami books that you can't find at normal bookstore, quite likely written in Japanese. High-quality paper, also probably from Japan. And so on. I would like to start developing my own origami models at some point, but I think I may be too busy at present to try that.

Wait, you're still reading? I'm flattered. More about myself...I'm a nerd. I admit it with pride! I am six feet tall, thin, and have hazel eyes and curly brown hair that gets bushy if I don't tame it daily with excessive hair gel. And a whip. Yep, a whip. *Nods*

My social life isn't all that much. I'm not the type to go out every weekend and get wasted. I much prefer spending time with a few friends, playing video games, watching movies, going on walks, telling bad jokes, etc. I go online a lot, too. Primarily, I visit the game site Neopets. Hehe...and if you think I'm too old for that site, I'll smite you with my Table of Smiting! (Don't ask, inside joke.)

I enjoy creative writing, too. I don't actually write stories that often, and those I write, I rarely finish. But I'm always coming up with new ideas. If I find any usable stories, I'll post them here.

That's about it for me. It just turned 4 AM here. I need to get to bed. Goodnight, and I hope you can find some time to check back here occasionally!
