I'm 26 now and I enjoy various other things outside of anime and cosplay; some which include art and writing as well as "old-school" text-based roleplay (multi-paragraphs which were more common during yahoo's roleplay golden age haha). </p> <p>In any case I'm looking forward to meeting new people! </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/multimedia-arts-classes-opportunity-for-everyone#post-1404 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:35:49 +0000 MMArts 1404@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Learn the latest versions of After Effects, Flash 2-D, Illustrator, Photoshop, Protools, Final Cut Pro, Dreamweaver, and Cinema 4D in Fall 2009 multimedia arts classes at Berkeley City College for only $26 a unit.
