Updates at bottom.

Well, it's been awhile, and though I'm not normally one to make Journals, or talk about myself, I'm going to make an exception because it's 3 AM and it seems like a good enough reason right now.

I've got big plans, maybe a little too big. Maybe I don't know what I'm getting into. But I've got plans. I know they're going to take a very wide range of time to complete. Some short, some long. As long as years. Some might last me my entire life. But that's a bit premature to say, since I haven't died yet.

I'm going to seriously work towards all of these. I hope that those who are close to me, on MSN and Skype, will be patient and understanding. I may be even more distracted than you have known me to be previously, but I will not be absent.

I'm going to make a game. An RPG. Probably using a version of RPG Maker. I'm gonna do all the graphics myself. Things are gonna get ugly. [Estimated time: Unknown. Probably several months to a year.]

I'm going to draw 1,600 pieces of fanart, with some strict limitations on size and color, and arrange it into one massive collage that will be about 12,000x12,000 pixels when complete. (In probably a few years, assuming I did one a day. Which is unlikely.) [Estimated time: It will take longer than I think it will, and I think it will take at least 5 to 7 years of frequent drawing.]

I'm going to create a webcomic. [Estimated time: To start or to finish? Heh. Unknown to both.]

I'm going to write a book. [Estimated time: This is a back burner. I got the whole plot thought out, but it needs some padding, and some actual content. Maybe more characters. Probably will take years to start.]

I'm going to learn a programming language. [Estimated time: A month or two to get productive in a language. I will probably learn PHP and/or Python.]

I'm going to practice 3D Modelling. [Estimated time: Probably about 6 months to go through the tutorial I'm thinking of.]

I'm going to complete some really old, backlogged art requests and art trades that people have probably forgotten about, but I haven't. [Estimated time: This will be including 3D requests. It will likely take a few months.

I'm going to record a Lets Play video of a really obscure Sega Saturn game because Saturn games have been a bit overlooked for Lets Play videos. Probably for a few good reasons, now that I think of it. I'll overcome those challenges. It's a pretty obscure game too! I'll need money for a video capture card, so this comes after the job.

I'm going to get a job, and save up for some more real life projects. [Estimated time: In this economy?]

I'm going to get my driver's license. (At 21, I'm about ready.) [Estimated time: A week or two. I'm reading my manual tomorrow for the most of the day, and will continue till next Saturday, where I will take the written test.]

I'm going to go to college to become a chef. [Estimated time: I am sorry that my life goal of becoming a chef is the most unknown factor here.]

I feel powerful.

Updates (new in bold):

I have my learner's permit. The task of learning to drive is nearing completion.
I have added a new task for a Lets Play video. I should probably number my list.
