I was on a volleyball team (an actual team, out of school) for about 5 or so years as a setter. I had to quit because of an injury to both my kneecaps :/
But I miss it a lot! And as soon as I heard about a volley anime coming out, I read the entire manga and I've already watched the entire anime at least twice and I always get so pumped!
But what I love most about volleyball is the teamwork. People talk about teamwork in other sports like soccer and basketball but sports like that, if you're good enough, you can basically play the entire thing almost by yourself. That's impossible in volleyball. You do that and what that's going to earn you is a permanent spot on the bench.
My team wasn't that big and we had a limited number of really good players so we didn't have a libero and until my last year there, I was the only setter in the team. On my last year, a girl joined that showed interest and talent for the position so we trained her for that too (our first names were the same so it was a bit comical too). My favorite thing to do though is receives but while on the team what we needed most was a setter so I got trained as one.
My spikes are terrible though... and I mean terrible. And I always do a serve uh... "underneath"? I only used EU portuguese and BR portuguese terms so the english ones confuse me a bit and I don't know the words. We don't even say setter lol we had another name for it. But yeah, if I ever join a team again, I'll try out as a libero and see how that goes.
I'm in the mainland now but I'm going home for my birthday so I get to play with my cousin! She was the one that made me join the team and she was my captain as well. She was the best overall player of the team (I was always so proud T_T) but her serves just about killed you hehe

My ten facts:
1) I often forget to put salt on my rice when I'm cooking it. I have eaten a lot of savorless rice in my life because of this...
2) I've seen 7 seasons of supernatural in roughly 2~3 months. I was o
Back for real this time!
My laptop's screen broke last month and I just got it today. That is the good news. My laptop is back. The BAD news is that there was another issue they found in it and they had to restore the laptop's software to how it came from the fabric. Meaning they had to format it and re-install windows 8. Meaning I LOST ALL MY STUFF. Including DRAWINGS and WRITING...
Sigh... So This is a bad news to everyone waiting very patiently for an update. I have a lot on my external hard drive but I didn't transfer stuff recently so I lost a lot of work. The drawings I made a few backups online so I'm not worried. But a lot of what I wrote is lost. For both T
I'll be back shortly
Hey again!
I'm going back to the mainland for college soon. I'll go before classes start and even when college starts, the start of the year is quite slow, so I'll be active during that time. I'll be home just another week (not counting this one) so next week or the next, I'll be here again. Promise! I even have a few sketches and new thoughts about a story I think you guys might like ^.^
Hiatus
As you might have noticed, I have been and am on hiatus. I just came home from long weeks filled with college exams and I'm beat. I'm going to relax now that I'm at home and spend as much time with my friends here as I can before I have to leave again.
I live in an island and to study I have to go to the mainland which is far away (nearly 3 hours by plane) so yeah, I can't do this very often.
I'll be back to drawing and writing when I can, possible in a month or 2, but for now, I'm on vacation to everything.
I'm coming here once in a while to check on how things are but I won't be active. Sometimes I'm just seeing fanart of comics in here.
