Awesome. I'm planning on medicine for myself actually. Surgery to be exact.

That's cool. I also wanted to be a surgeon, until malpractice rates skyrocketed. The people in the United States love to sue since they don't understand the complexities and anomalies of the human body. One major blunder in surgery, (my preference was neurosurgery) and I could be the Grouch's new neighbor in a trash can.
Anyway, nice to meet another likeminded individual. What field of surgery do you prefer.

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 10:24 PM

Hi Mick Ignis,
I am attending The College of New Jersey, a state university. I need art in my life so I am minoring in it. What school do you attend? I need to move there if you have such awesome profs. jk

Cicero · 12-13-2006, 10:27 PM

Neurosurgery, too, actually, haha. Luckily people aren't quite so trigger-happy with sueing people in Australia (yet), so hopefully I won't get charged with malpractice when an 80 year old man dies of natural causes under anaesthesia before I even crack his skull open. Ahem... I should probably avoid language like that when facing the judges!

I'm just exceedingly interested in how the human body works really. The brain especially, but I'm also keen on reconstructive surgery, transpants and cancers.

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 10:34 PM

Awesome. I think the relationship of neurology to psychology is really cool. I suggest you also try some psychology courses since it relates so well. Also, I guarantee you won't get bored. You'll have so many classes and laboratories, that by the end of the year, you could pass for a vampire. You won't see the light of day. (insert maniacal laughter)

Also, I think cancers are the extremely complex due to their amazing rates of mutation. I've never seen anything like it. You always pick the hard subjects. I like it

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 10:38 PM

Oh man, my last post sounded extremely hyped up.
Just wanted to tell you that I am practically high on energy drinks (frickin Chinese herbs like Guarana). So please excuse any incoherent babble.

Oh cool, I have family from Jersey. I'm going to LA Valley College...kinda. It's an odd situation. I left high school in 10th grade for independent study. I'm in my senior year, taking classes at LAVC in order to graduate. Basically, I'm completing all my high school classes in college. I hope to enter CALarts next spring for film and experimental animation.

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 10:42 PM

That's pretty cool. I heard that some of the best film schools are in your area. It must be awesome for an artist living in such a place like Hollywood. Are you into manga or anime animation? I think Asian film and animation is incredible.

I'm taking VCE Psychology for that very purpose

. My sister is a psychology major in university at the moment, so I've also been stealing her books and papers.

I can't resist what I find so facinating. They always talk about medical school as though it's "oh such hard work", "oh so difficult", "say goodbye to your social life!" - but none of that matters when you're learning about such interesting things.

I look forward to passing for a vampire!

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 10:54 PM

I agree with you. Even though your social life takes a huge hit, at least you are learning fascinating concepts. Anyways, like you stated, passing for vampires can be cool. We're goths you know!
I think its cool being interested in dark literature and music while simulatneously being fascinated with life and saving it. It's pretty cool.

I love asian film! I'm actually in the process of learning japanese, so that I can one day work with the great artists in Japan.

I'm not a huge manga fan, but a few animations have really impressed me, such as Vampire Hunter D and Akira. As long as it's not done in the cutesy style, I usually like it.

Cicero · 12-13-2006, 11:07 PM

It certainly is pretty cool! I'm glad to see I'm not the 'only goth in the medical village'

.

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 11:14 PM

Mick, that's awesome! I love Asian films too, even though I don't get much exposure since the arts is my minor. I wish I can learn Japanese since so much great artists are Japanese. They are so highly evolved art wise that they are sort of like the dadaists of animation. Like instead of tough American GI characters, they have feminine heroes. Their stories are also so original, like Ghost in the Machine.

Cicero, I am also surprised in finding a medical goth since it is seemingly a paradox.
Well, that makes two goths in the medical village in the entire world. jk

Mick Ignis · 12-13-2006, 11:27 PM

The Japanese are way more experimental than we are. Not just with animation but with technology and fashion as well. Their insane culture in highly inspiring.

I'm also surprised there aren't more medigoths. Everyone I've met seems to have an enormous interest in anatomy.

Cicero · 12-13-2006, 11:34 PM

Anyone with an interest in anatomy should watch "Anatomy for Beginners".

[Not recommended viewing while eating lunch (learnt that from experience).]

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 11:36 PM

What is impressive is that they could still maintain such a decent society with all the emphasis on experimentation. They are original and respectful. Usually experimentation relates to overt sexuality as seen in some countries in Europe. As an artist (semi-artist in my case) their fearless experimentation in spite of stereotypes is fascinating.
I think that maybe since Japan's art culture is not restricted by stereotypes and religious fervor as in America, experimentation is encouraged. But that is politics. Also, it'd be nice if you can post some of your art. If you will draw it, I will come and post also.

You're telling me. What is more surprising is that I found a pretty medigoth.

Mick Ignis · 12-13-2006, 11:42 PM

When I start shooting this new stop-motion, I’ll be sure to post plenty of production stills! I hope to have a website up by March with plenty of clips and such.

The funny thing about Japan is, it's split in it's extremes. People there are either highly conservative or highly artistic.

knightmare · 12-13-2006, 11:53 PM

Looking forward to it. Always nice to see the worldview of a different artist.

It's not like the Last Samurai though! The highly conservative don't impose their standards on the others like in a country I live in.
I want to visit Japan someday. Also, Sony is based there, so that's a big plus.

You know, I am actually going to a fancy dress party as a lesbian pirate.

I'm so glad I have less than two days of school left this year. I'm more grateful for the time off than Xmas.

Paigeybobert · 12-14-2006, 08:39 AM

It's Thursday morning,
My hair is a mess,
I need to pee,
But I won't turn away.

She_Is_My_Sin · 12-14-2006, 08:46 AM

It's thursday evening here. I have a history essay to do...anyone care to tell me whether Italy was unificated due to Cavour's diplomancy or foreign help?

Including factors such as Cav's interests in Piedmont, Napoloeon the Third & Garibaldi.

The fun never stops with me.
