Fine, Bed Head, I'll do it. But only because I'll do anything for a gold star sticker. (And for the record, there's no "n" in "frumious". I looked it up.)


Just a test to see if I can post images, really.

I *am* making it happen. This weekend. I have a bunch of sketches and scribbles ready and waiting to be worked up. So, we’ll see. Everytime I go in my living room, there's little scraps of paper spread out everywhere, but its okay, because I know what they all mean, and I'm going to use them.

I’m loving the Barbelith art gang at the moment. I feel like I’ve been permitted to hang out with you and Nelson for a week or two. I love your Christmas card, I wrote a big PM about it that, er, I never sent. Anyway, you should get Q to post something next, keep the ‘show and tell’ vibe going.

frumious. I knew I should have checked. Damn this new window that doesn’t show you the thread you’re posting to. *shakes fist at screen*

Sorry, Sean. I stand corrected.

Oh, balls. I just lost a whole post!

Um... grrr.

I like the arty vibe at the moment as well. Although I thouhght I was getting to hang with you guys. And...uh... everyone's done something, but my contribution is measly. But send your PM!

I am jealous of those who get stuff done, becase I just seem to put stuff off and lay around in bed. You see, all my little scraps of paper have gotten out of control. I thought I knew what they all meant, but it appears they may need some serious organisation and sense made out of them. I don't like to soldify ideas, because they always dissapoint the ones in my brain. But it is inevitable.

My bedroom is the exact same. I've always made indecipherable notes and multi-layered drawings for my comics or such, and my so many people have thought I was plotting some evil conspiracy.

And, hey, no worries. I thought it was fruminous, too, until I made this ficsuit and found out I was wrong. And I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland/Looking Glass fan.

I think it’s two different modes, man. It’s not always useful to be able to combine the two. Just that sometimes you’re better at unbound, unorganised creation, and sometimes you’re able to organise and filter and edit. They’re both crucial, you shouldn’t necessarily have to stop doing the one because you’re not doing the other, just as long as you’re doing something, and you’ve enough material for when you’re in the mood to work differently.

And I’m saying you, but of course really I’m meaning me, and looking back I realise this post may well be meaningless garbage to anyone who doesn’t currently live inside my head. But I think I know what you mean, Suedey.

And I know what you mean. At least I think I do.

If we were outside a pub now, I'd laugh manically and we would both *understand* I'm sure.

Duuuuuuude! It's like... I mean.... we both know what it's like!

Dude.

I know you'll miss my riveting contributions these past few minutes, but I'm off to bed. Kissles, hope you all find some art-asprin.

Goodnight Sallllllllllleeeeeeeeee!

I like to think being incredibly drunk is the perogative of the artist. I don't understand words anymore.

That's not right, is it?
 
 
Bed Head
02:22 / 04.12.04
Oh, damn. Sleep well, Sally. I really wanted to hear about the steak, too. It’s that time of night when I love to hear about food.

Food.

02:23 / 04.12.04
Yes. All this talk of toast has made me hunger for many a thing....

BH, how do you manage to be up this late? I don't seem to be able to wake up anytime before the afternoon.

*whispers conspiratorially* I try to have a nap around sixish. Early evening is always a rubbish time of day, so I figure I’m not missing anything.

Oh, and...

...but I don't think anyone noticed.

Man, I knew that (because of the Britney cover/Bobby Brown song) but my brain could only accept there might be something wrong.

I do nap when I get up early... but I can't get up early! And napping messes with my head.

Damn you!

Am I cheating the lateshift by living in the states, on the other side of the world? Whatever. I think I'm leaving now. I need to practice the flute, so that one day I can command my army of pygmy cowboys to type for me. Yeah, that's it.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
02:37 / 04.12.04
Dude, you stole my idea!

I need to go outside... damn, this is my problem. I want to party NOW. Ain't nobody can keep up with this.

napping messes with my head.

It’s never messed my with my head, not since I heard some boffin explain on (probably) Radio 4 that the human body is totally meant to nap: our temperature/heart rate/brain waves all take a dip twice in every 24 hour period, and in our ‘natural’ state that’s when we’d be napping, and other cultures have this figured out, but the evil western industrial model demands 8, 10, 12 hour shifts of its poor downtrodden citizens. And so sleeping all night was institutionalised, even though it’s really bad for our long-term health. Or something.

... and, all that may very well be complete baloney, but I really like the sound of it, so I’ve avoided all possibility of hearing any counter argument ever since. Just like the time I read that smoking protects against Alzheimer’s. Or drinking wine daily is good for...something. I forget. But the point stands. Whatever works. I am, in fact, fighting The Man with my napping ways.

Dude. I can get with that. It's just whenever I wake from a nap I feel so groggy it always seems like I shouldn't have... and it confuses me with days.

And I wake up in the middle of the night.

ANYWAY. I should probably go sleep now.

To stop me phoning people.... um. Yes.

One day, I will find a friend. One day - I will find love again!

La la la la la.

Sleep well, man. I think I’m about to turn in, too. Damn, I can’t think of a single toast, either. I’m too drunk already. I hope Sean’s thread does okay.

ha ha ha.

I made toast and a gin and tonic instead.

DOH.
