Sing with me! It's a small world, after all...

Step one: Get twitter account to make nuisance of self regarding Joker in ME3.
Step two: follow virusq
Step three: check out her recent conversation re: swtor.
step four: discover person-tweeting-to-virusq was also tweeting to Amerikate... whom I met at pyoor_excuse and bluwyngz wedding. In the lake district. In England.

Person I met in video game fandom on the internet, two degrees from person I met through a high-school-friend. Across an ocean.

Funny ol' thing, life.

A study in contrasts

So, I'm taking a lunch-time writing break with a site called Written?Kitten!", which provides incentive to write in a more positive way than Write Or Die: every hundred words, you get a new kitten picture!

It's awesome!

Only... I'm writing about a somewhat vengeful chase-scene gun-fight that ends with someone getting double-tapped.

And I was just awarded with a sleeping kitten.

It's like BAM. DEATH. ADORABLE.

Creativity Challenged; pre-turkey-week

I have a so-far unused deviant art account that didn't have an avatar picture, so, since I didn't get much traditional sketching done this week*, I drew a me for it.



I don't think I've drawn comic-me since college or shortly thereafter. Not much has changed -- my hair's in a bun more often. If I refine it I might add mitts, since the reynaud's thing is kind of a big deal, and make the pencils stuck in the bun more obvious (My bun is usually held up with only one stick, but it is still a handy place to stash extra pencils. Or would be, if I didn't promptly forget about them).

I'm not sure I'll keep the pointy ears. They were a random addition in college because I was struggling with whether or not to draw my limb-length discrepency. I decided not to, on the basis that it would just confuse people or make them think I'd screwed up the drawing, and then figured, heck, if I can zap away defining features in my comic-me, I could add things, too. Also that one kid in middle school told me I had pointy elf-ears once.

EDIT: I forgot the most important thing! I sketched it straight onto the computer! And I think I'm going to spend the money from the painting commission on a tablet (extra incentive to start the darned thing).

*Well, I drew a motorcycle. It made my cycling buddy freak the hell out, because she was sitting next to me at the D&D table while I drew it and she thought I'd gone over to the darkside.
