I was an actor in highschool, supposed to get a freeride to an art school in Cali. Was told it'd make me too "gay". Hit by a truck in '24.

Acting, writing screenplays, books, anime and manga. I was stopped from learning to draw properly by my mother beating me over a Da Vinci sketch of a naked lady. I've always been good at drawing, but never sketching first. As a result, all the proportions are always slightly distorted, and I lived to hate my own work. After my TBI, I was able to watch ALL my memories, even suppressed ones, with no taste, pain, smell, or feeling. It revealed SO much about my life I didn't know.
Where do you find inspiration?In media, mainly, but also in everything there is. Everything I see. Everything I touch. I've been writing novelizations of the experiences of my life in my mind for years. I would've been able to PROVE MYSELF A PROPHET, but during my coma, cjb.net's Wikipedia-like system, the system I used to Wiki out the ENTIRE PAGETURNER WORLD AND EVENTS, was lost.
What would you do with $25,000?Survive + buy sprites. I'm DESTITUTE, .82 in checking, and that's only because I got a .70c refund last week from turning in a coupon. My accident left me with a cane and a 1.5 year gap in my employment. As a result, not one of the 2,000+ apps I've filled out will even interview me. 4 tried, and saw my cane and declared (as soon as they could) that I'm not disabled, sound like a great guy, but I'm just "Not what they're looking for" in order to avoid being accused of being ablist.
