That post took longer than I'd anticipated. #_# Apologies for that. Still getting a bit caught up with everything. Also, I hope you're feeling better this week!

I'm badfool,
I've been on this site for a while now and just became active using threads. Check out some of my interest checks and maybe we can work something out :).

Finn didn't feel like his confession was anything extraordinary. In fact, he didn't recognize it as a confession much at all if it hadn't been for Eli confirming it as such. He shrugged, his puzzled face washing over with a comfortable satisfaction as though he expected something far more rigorous and complicated. That's how it always sounded, right? His thoughts didn't often turn towards God, or Jesus for that matter, and the only time he'd ever called out to either of them was in situations far more amoral than he figured Eli's poor tolerance of provocative speech could handle. In all honesty, Finn couldn't remember the last time setting foot in a church, much less folding his hands and earnestly praying. He found his own luck, or so he'd like to believe, in a fast and unabashed life that Eli was sure a stranger. He liked a fast life; he liked his smokes and his alcohol, he liked banter and rebellion, pretty women with round faces and rouged, cherry-colored lips, handsome but sheepish young men who turned a blind eye come morning. It was cheap life with even cheaper morals but it was a life Finn knew well. He didn't suffer, he didn't complain, and he couldn't imagine anything but.
Eli explained the order of confession. Frankly, he didn't understand how God was supposed to hear about them anyways and even more frank he wasn't all too sure what constituted a sin or how most of that worked anyhow. Was it a kind of special tally carved into the clouds by God Himself? What exactly happened to a man's sinning once they were offered up to the Lord anyways? It must have been written all down in that Holy Book, he concluded with a quizzical ponder at the leather-bound prize that the young priest was always clutching so dearly. He wasn't sure exactly who it was that wrote it, honestly, and it wouldn't do him much good to try and read it himself. Illiteracy wasn't a bragging right necessarily, and he'd gone thirty-some years without sitting properly with a word book in front of him. He knew enough phrases to get by, a good handful of his own vocabulary did the trick, but he wasn't sour of the fact.
Finn found it interesting enough to scoot the Book closer to the corner of where he sat. He fingered the rounded corners of the leather but did not bend them. Instead, he flipped through, watching each page cascade before starting again in idle patience while Eli was pardoned. The words were meaningless to him, too small of a print to be comfortable enough to read and in no way did he understand its formatting. It was a story? No, a rule book. Or perhaps both? It was the Word of the Lord, at least that's what he'd heard so many times before. When spoken, it was a wave of gibberish and nonsense in the sense that it all entered one ear and spouted out the other. He was close to raising a few questions that itched at his curiosity, but when the small man returned in garb that wasn't near-killing him from the heat, Finn cracked a much familiar grin.
“Now you're foolin' me. Hell, I coulda took you for a regular person wearin' this.” He gestured to Eli's change of clothes, one hand in motion while the other idly tapped on the outer cover of the Book. "'n here I thought you lived in all that black."

I'll be replying this evening! A busy day since we started classes! But I'm thinking up of a post in my head in the meantime (:
Yeah! It's a good and useful field that takes some guts so that's awesome! It seems like it'll be cray fun and interesting if you're super into it. I took a criminology course which sort of ties onto that??? Crime, at least, and that direction of study seemed so cool (I just wasn't committed haha)
Italy is beautiful! Food is amazing and for the most part people are kind. Small city I'm in with narrow streets so it's interesting to just get lost and find your way back. The main part of Florence which I'm in now is great when you're near the main church but it was a little sketch when we dispersed and went further out. Unfortunately there's way more unwarranted catcalling than what I notice in America. BUT so far things have been pleasant and it's not as confusing as I originally thought it would be (':

boomp
Oh no! ): I'm sorry! Get some rest and feel better.
Forensic science? Now that always sounded interesting to me but I could never imagine being smart enough to do it. That's like one subject I always admire from afar haha. That's awesome though, I say go for it.

I use SAI because it wasn't nearly as expensive but my friend uses this one called Manga Studios (it goes under a different name I think when you buy the program versus trial version) and she makes some pretty wicked stuff. Oh man and good luck with guitar! Never could learn an instrument. Do you play any other one?
Well aside from writing and drawing I like painting when I'm able to get my hands on some paints. I like reading about history and naturally that runs off in the things I write, haha. Foreign languages are also a hobby, I'm a junior I think and a German major so I'm just trying to push through school. Too bad I'm not going to Germany, honestly because I'd be just fine there if English wasn't an option. I'd love to learn Russian or Swedish perhaps in the future. What are you studying?

It can be such a pain sometimes I agree. Especially because most often you have to just get used to the programs and the device itself on your own and essentially teach yourself. I'm sure there are classes out there somewhere but I've had to rely on tutorials and a lot of frustration haha
Definitely! I've never shared any files on this website specifically but I'm sure there's an option to do so. It'd be awesome to see some of your stuff sometime! (: aha it's been so long since I've actually sketched out without my tablet it's almost foreign to me. I got myself too spoiled with technology.
Oh what kind of animals? :D I always need a reference for animals. I can't say that I'm good at them just because of the anatomy being so different than humans. Given all of the species and whatnot.
