Feel free to let me know if these are boring. I’m afraid that I have less talent at jotting down things that had happened to me in an interesting way and more talent in the scribbling art department. It doesn’t help that I sort of feel like there are still people eying my journal in the hopes that bad things will happen me or something. Paranoid delusions aside those people can suck it. I would think they would have hopefully moved on with thier lives.

Is it just me or does it seem a little like the comic/art crowd has filtered away from the LiveJournal flavor on the internet to some other site more interesting? Not that I’m any better with LJ. I don’t honestly read through my friends list. I just pick journals of people to vist that make me happy and I don’t even look at the rest. Right now I think it’s down to 4 journals at the most, Which are, in no order: ursulav (artist of cute and odd things, her journals are always interesting no matter what they are about and she makes me feel happy and lighter. She’s getting a chidrens book published next year and draws the webcomic Digger), twigcollins (a writer, at the moment working on an original story for NaNoWmo… or however that thing is spelled… but she also writes fanfiction. She amuses me and makes me smile,), mistful (another writer, started off writing fanfiction that I really enjoyed and will have a three book young adults novel series published soon. All of her post are way more interesting and witty than mine. Makes me laugh when she does her movie reviews… er rundowns), and officialgaiman (also a writer but one in his prime. Started in comics as the writer on Sandman for DC comics and currently all over the map. I like his posts because he always seems rather busy and does a lots of different things in both his writing and his life.)

I sometimes read more journals then just those four but it depends on how often the journal gets updated and whether I can keep up or not. There are some people I want to read more posts from that don’t post enough and some that I want to read that just post a little too much. Which is neither here nor there as I think those people are awesome even if they are/n’t posting. =] But yeah it seems weird that I get this odd feeling that people have moved on. It’s sort of sad I actually still really like Livejournal way more then most of the sites I post to… heh, including my own site. =D Anyone have any journals they would suggest? People that make them happy to read their posts? I’m sort of interested about who’s still out there in the wide world of Livejournal. Gimme names, plz!

And here’s some sketches of one of the guys from my very old Hooligans folio. Trying to get a handle on how I’d draw him now that my guy bodies are a little more structured. Dragons sadly, are still really hard to draw. Maybe I need to practice them more too. =<
