Hi there. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Jeffrey William Naslund, Jr. I am high-functioning autistic, but I eat almonds, though. I also take Magnesium pills and just about any other supplements to help me relax, stay calm and have a positive attitude because it's quite a little bit hard for me to stay calm without them, and I do not want to be moody and loud at times over whatever during situations and other cirucumstances that might be happening at times. Instead, I wanna avoid problems. That is why I am on such supplements. No matter how hard it really seems, I am doing my very best to have a very positive attitude. I'm a born-again Christian also. I am a very respectful individual, esp. to those who are offended by something biblical or brought up in another religion (whether they are brought up in it by being raised into being one or by their own decisions). My favorite color is baby blue, yellow, and white. I am also on the healthy routine: I take long walks at times. I work out using weights and this exercise tool called the Iron Gym. I am eating right at times, and am taking care of my body, esp. by sticking with The Food Guide Pyramid. I drink milk as well as water and sometimes juice or lemonade, but I prefer sticking with milk and water, because water is better for me, esp. during hot weather or seasons and when it comes to sweating from working out my body, and I drink milk because it has a good source of calcium which is good for the bones. I am struggling into staying away from sweets and fatty foods, but I am not giving up on staying healthy. I eat honey, but not too often. If I eat too much of it, I could get sick, and I seriously wanna avoid such sickness. I only eat a cereal spoonful of it just to satisfy my sweet tooth and sometimes I eat it to satisfy my sweet cravings (but it is healthier than sugar). For the most part, I save it for later or for something else that might recommend honey. I also like to go swimming and get a sun tan (catching some rays is good for the skin and it has good source of Vitamin D which is also good for me as well as other individuals). But I don't go swimming during rainy days, stormy weather, cold temperature of the weather forecast or cold temperature of the season of winter. Reason: I do not want to get sick or hurt or anything like that from such things. But I'm not the only one that has a reason not to go swimming because of that sort of thing. Other certain people are in the same wavelength as I am over the situation.

Explaining what happened before:
Some time ago when I was still a high schooler, I learned how to create an anime girl of my own and I named her Nevaki. I learned how to draw her head from a flash tutorial on Newgrounds.com called Anime cell shade Tutorial, besides the shading parts. In a much, much, much later time after that (while I was still a high schooler), I watched a flash animation called Sugarland, and when I finished watching it, I emailed the author of Sugarland (Zoorah) asking her permission to use her anime girl's eyes for my anime girl's eyes and she replied back saying "Suuuuuuuure you can!!" so I have them. And I learned how to draw my anime girl Nevaki's hair from a girl in cooking class. She tried her best making the hair, but I edited it and the hair came out perfect. Months later, after I graduated from high school, I remembered the Anime cell shade Tutorial and the anime eyes from Sugarland from Newgrounds, and I followed those memories when I was taking my time sketching my anime girl's head, and the way I sketched her head, eyes, hair, and mouth, it came out great. Some time later after that, I scanned my sketch and it was displayed on my computer, and I saved it. In a later time than that, I spent many hours IN ONE DAY coloring her in and didn't save it yet until I was finished coloring it in, and it came out great. Later on, I submitted it to Photobucket.com. 

When I joined the Voice Acting Club back in 2006, I remember participating in ZeeChan's Free Sketch Of Yourself thread stickied in that certain Sub-Board of these VAC forums.

 

I have been on it for months, but by the time I uploaded my avatar, it was my same Nevaki drawings. But I didn't credit Zoorah for the eyes in my signature, and Nastashia for the anime tutorial. (Well, I credited her in Everyone post your character drawings thread, yes, but that thread will probably get deleted some day which leaves her no longer credited, and I feel extremely, terribly, horribly 100% guilty for that, because if I take all the credit, that's not fair to Zoorah and that's considered stealing her character's eyes, and stealing is a sin and it's also against the law. So I am going to credit her here just in case). I already know that my avy and sig (in my suspended VAC account) are both gone now, but before that time, this all happened. Here's a link to the drawings I'm talking about (and I'm crediting the owners, too):

Nevaki's eyes: Inspired by Zoorah (since I asked her permission to use the eyes and she said "Suuuuuuure you can!" through via email and I edited them a little bit after use)
Special Thanks to: Nastashia, for teaching us how to draw an anime girl

Inside this link, if you scroll down, you will see my old huge anime girl creation (christmasNevakiPic) | which I don't use anymore. This dude James (the co-administrator of these VAC forums) has drawn a Santa's hat on my old girl character's head and did script writings of some sort on the bottom of that old drawings of mine. Besides that was my bad mistake. I should not have opened my mouth on requesting for a Christmas version of my old and original NevakiPic artwork since I don't use it anymore and I'm no longer used to using it, either. This all happened when I joined the Voice Acting Club forums back in the year 2006. Now I learned my lesson from that, so next time I will keep it to myself and not let it all out of me and I won't ask anymore. I also made these credits a link to my old artwork because I didn't credit the owner(s) of the tutorial and the eyes and that is considered stealing and stealing is a sin and against the law, and this was my worst mistake I have ever made online, so that's why I'm crediting the owners here. And I made it a link rather than making a separate link to the drawings. Makes things easier that way.

Now please excuse me for crediting them in this late time, but I had to do something about it just to try to get it covered and try to get it all taken care of, too. Now I learned my lesson.

The moral of the story: 
Don't be like me. When using someone else's work, be sure to credit them as soon as possible.  

So in other words, from now on and next time I will try this again. I'm going to remember this from now on.

P.S. "Why did I make this mistake when I should've thought of this sooner while I was still active on the forums" you ask? Now I don't mean to make this excuse.............. but I am high-functioning autistic, and I majorly spent a whole lot of time on my computer, influenced and addicted with the internet which resulted in my mind wondering off (and getting corrupted afterwards). It felt like I was high on drugs but I wasn't. And I was not fully expirienced back then and I was sidetracted (and misguided at times). But I am lucky that no certain consequences in particluar was expected and I'm lucky that those certain consequences didn't occur. Besides, I get carried away sometimes. But now I, truly and most definately, surely have, learned my lesson from all of that junk I put on the internet, mentally.  That's how it all happened. I have learned to be careful of what I'm doing on the internet, so I don't make anymore of those screw-ups and mistakes online. You understand? I am high-functioning austistic and I have excuses, but I'm also trying to be truly honest about my explanation just so you know.

By the way, I re-edited this journal entry because of my last entry of posting my old anime girl drawings throughout the internet, those certain drawings are now gone and the links are broken now, so why bother mentioning them now when they no longer exist anymore? So I have justifyable cause to re-edit this journal entry from its old self to its new self.
