STARS AND GARTERS NEWS ALERT, 1:27 A.M.: COMPUTER FIXED; JOOLIE ECSTATIC
So I'm not going to.
When I was in high school, I was very, oh, what's the word? Insufferable pretty much nails it. If you think I'm being too hard on myself, that's only because you don't know that I decided in 10th grade that I would start taking class notes with a pen nib dipped in a bottle of ink. It was extremely inefficient, but I liked the way the letters looked and the general effect of me hunching over my flowery handwriting. At least I liked it until I tumped over the bottle in the middle of English class and ink spilled all over my desk and soaked into the carpet. My teacher glared, and 30 pairs of fifteen-year-old eyes fastened on my blushing face: you pretentious twit.
I went back to Pilot Razor Points after that and fulfilled my need for attention in more tidy and amusing ways, like painting realistic-looking head wounds on my forehead to scare my chemistry teacher. Look at me! LOOK AT ME!!!!
Anyway, that was just a long and self-indulgent* way of getting around to saying that I have been drawing with pen and ink the past few days, and I enjoy it very much.
I don't know, I just like the way the ink dumps off onto the paper.
Someday I will learn to draw something else, but probably not anytime soon.
That's pretty much all I've been up to. Our visitors are gone. The computer at home is still screwed up and we're considering trying
to fix it with a baseball bat or possibly a propane torch. I'm back at
work. I don't really mind. I have missed reading everyone's blogs and am slowly catching up on them. The new year was successfully rung in with many annoying noises and nice friends, and I'm not basing this on anything at all, but I think it's going to be a pretty good one.
*LOOK AT ME!!!!
