Some time in the next few days I’m going to do my yearly flist cleaning. Don’t worry. I’m only removing those that haven’t posted in 6 months and haven’t given a reason for being AWOL. (Why is it when people say this out loud it sounds like A WALL. I’m pretty sure if you’re missing you aren’t a wall. More like a boat or a small car, maybe

*hugs to you and Burt* I'm hoping right there with ya. :)

Maybe if you give yourself some sort of challenge or deadline, you'll be able to tackle some projects? I just checked out of reality to finish a 70-page sketchbook that I had to finish by today. I think I did more drawings than I've done in the past two years combined over the course of about a month, and it was kind of liberating. You could try telling yourself you want to showcase a certain number of graphics by a certain deadline, and then hold yourself to it to see if you can get there? :)

It's amazing. He's such a stubborn old koot.

That is spectacular! I can't even imagine it. I could try that. Maaaybe it'll get me going.

Just curious... what pronunciation of AWOL would you suggest? AW-OL? Kind of skipping the O a bit and saying AWL, like owl but with an A?

[gwyntastic]

I like A Owl because at least those can fly away. AWALL seems to be the way to say it. Yet when I see it, it just doesn't look how it sounds.

I wouldn't mind being a wall. Imagine the things they hear.
My that's a random thing to say. Hah.

You'd think a wall would be easy to find. Maybe they need a better tagging system.

How on earth did I make it through the last one? I went for a year without posting! Shocker. I am back, though. Huzzah.

I was kinda blah about everything last year. I'm not sure if I did a cut. I really can't remember. Did you post a reason for why you didn't post for a year?

[scifijunkie]

Well, I haven't yet, but I keep meaning to. It boils down to mild depression after I was laid off in Nov. '09, followed by working retail and not having access to internet during the day, and then feeling overwhelmed by how much stuff was posted during the day, and then the longer I went without reading, the more overwhelming it was. It was this downward spiral kind of thing. I'm making an effort now; using a filter, and ignoring my sister's pleas of "get off the computer!"

Oh man, that's the poops. I'm so sorry. I remembered how much you loved that job. YEAH my god, I popped out of SPN for Merlin and I couldn't go back because holy crap.
