So, the 19th was my birthday; there’s a whitechapel post about it Over Here, and I got some birthday greetings from folks on twitter as well. It was very nice, and I’d like to thank everyone who said happy birthday to me, or got me stuff, and who have just been there for me to listen to me ramble on for the past year.
As far as celebrations go, I didn’t really do anything. I drank coffee, I drove the car around. I got a skeleton necklace from 86 made of moose antler, my box of comics from cata, and harley davidson swag from my mom, as well as money from the grandparents for coffee. We didn’t have a party or anything; and mom’ll take me out to see Indiana Jones and the Geezer Crusade for the Crystal Skulls in all it’s awesome glory next tuesday. Though there may be skeptics among you, who say Harrison Ford is a) Old and b)Cannot Act, I counter with the fact that as a child I was a rabid Indy fangirl. Your logic cannot sway my want to see this movie. It’s got INDY in it. It could be Indiana Jones and the Magical Butt Monkeys from Plannet Zeon, and I would still see it.

I did not start out as some totally awesome artist. To prove that I was not always super talented (childhood drawings making the paper be damned), I will share with you this childhood crayon drawing of a girl and some black sheep.

I’m working on reorganizing my ‘internet house’, if you will, sorting through stuff. Expect content to be moving around, some artwork, and a lot of chaos the next few weeks while I chew at it in my spare time.
