You know you dont want to read this- you subconciously think its stupid before you read it!
Mood: complacent (yet I am also feeling at ill ease because of this)
Music: telepopmusik

I got my learners license permit today- that means that I can finally learn how to drive a car; yes I should have got it when I was 17 but the need never arose until last year when I got discouraged after I failed the exam the first time around.
Today I got one of the greatest compliments that I have received-
Someone that was once close to me came past and we started to converse…after a few moments of interacting, she came out all of a sudden saying “you know, you're very much like that director what’s his name…Tim Burton”. Now for all of you that don’t know me (that’d be most to all of you)- Tim Burton is in my eyes possibly one of the greatest directors of our modern times, in fact there is not one of his movies that I have seen that I don’t like- one of my favourite movies is actually Edward scissor hands. Anyway getting back on track, I consider Burton to be one of my most welcomed “influences” (I hate using that word because I HATE being influenced by other artists), this compliment could also be interpreted as an insult to my originality- I have never seen Tim Burton in real life but have heard that he is rather odd and wacky in his sentiments but at the same time has a hidden deepness and a really soft inside…that is what she really meant by the “compliment” if you will.
Well I’ve been working on a new comic (doesn’t that phrase seem quite familiar ^^ at least to my friends that have been coming to my site very often) but yes I’ve completed the first page and it seems like its really grabbing me seeing that I’ve delved deeper into my inner psyche and have stuck with a more natural approach to my graphic novel. I’m not making any promises but I really hope I get to upload some of the pages.
I would talk about more exciting things like my current obsession with talking about tuna fish or rubber gloves or certain kinds of names like Robert but I’m sure if I make this too long then no one will read, so if you want to hear about those things then all you have to do is PM, IM, or e-mail me with the topic.
Other than that I was going to talk about all the new art supplies that I got or The House of Isis…but boredom and heavy deadlines have overcome me.
So seeya later ballerinas (man I miss calling you all that lol)
