Color Me Happy.

I'm in college, uncertain, mercurial, despondent, a non-conformist but only to a certain degree. Insatiable, unsatisfied, unhappy, stupid, reckless, naive yet deceitful, a tad twisted, indecisive, damaged (not of lovesick things thank goodness). Bottom line: teenager. I am what every teenager feels and acts like yet I am at the age when I can no longer be called one (tho I may not look like it). And that is not good. Reblogs of anything and everything that piques my interest are what fills this place. MY actual blog is at blogspot which is over at the link up there.

This isn’t a Miyazaki film. It’s a gorgeous homage by a French animation student.

Glenn Germain spent five months crafting this beautiful homage to Studio Ghibli for his final project. The French animation student’s work has gone viral in Japan. We think Miyazaki would approve.

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, I had a pokemon. Second, there was a part of me - and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be - that wanted to be the very best, like no one ever was. Third, Gary Oak was unconditionally and irrevocably a douchenozzle.
