Ah, that's too bad. But it can't be helped; it was a drawing from a long, long time ago and you've moved several times... if you still had it, it would actually have been really amazing. Even I who only moved once have already given up on the stuff I had as a kid, such as my collection of PS games... they're all gone now. And sure, I would highly appreciate it if you would show me some time later!
I've actually never participated in competitions. I'm just a casual photographer and don't do it for the money, since I don't see myself changing gears as often as those professional, or at least semipro, photographers. However, I do think that I should have entered in some, because I tend to see my photos as at least decent... so who knows, I might participate in a competition in the future just for fun. The problem is the registration fee, though, that can be quite a blow to my wallet. XD
As for chef, I actually wanted to be one, thanks to my uncle who actually worked (and still does) as a restaurant chef. However, I understand that you need to have a degree in culinary arts if you want to become one, so I might have to enroll to a culinary school in order to pursue that dream. I would probably start with taking a cooking course first, though yeah... money again. If only it were no object.
Haha, I loved the background, but I actually don't like how the Darkside turned out to be. The head is too huge! But I didn't expect to draw it well anyway, so I'm pretty cool with that. And no, I don't draw by hand... I plain suck at that. As embarrassing as it might sound, I can only "draw" well by tracing... XD
Ahh, music? I love it, too. My love of music was what brought me to choir. I don't play instruments, but I know how to utilise our own natural musical instrument, which is our vocal chord. That said, I haven't been in a choir for quite a long time, so my voice has shifted a bit... but with practice, I'm sure I can get back on my feet in singing. I'm also looking to pick up a musical instrument (leaning toward clarinet right now), because I personally think being able to play an instrument is cool.
You've got such wonderful aspirations! Go and shape the path to the future; your future is bright!
(I feel really old just by saying that. I'm just 6 years older than you, yet it made me sound like I'm already in my late 30s. XD)
