Wow

just frikkin wow.

You ever just sort of stop, and turn around, and realise "Holy crap, I can barely see the last plaace I stopped."

Okay it's not particularly poeting but, jeez. It's crazy to look back a year, two years or more and just see what all has happened.

Saw some crazy stuff did so amzing thing, might sum it up a bit, but it still boggles the mind to thinks that a year ago, I had one blog, now web comics, now online store and now collection of word puzzles. I had ideas and a few gifts worth of hand made jewelry and a few things that were going on that seemed like a lot at the time.

I've since then sold things as an artist at a convention, signed actual autographs (I'm still slightly embarrassed and confused by that but amused anyway), been assaulted, made a few things, thing I hadn't even thought of before.

I've a computer and a new freind, I'm looking very seriously at switching over to making money in some of my creative ideas.

I mean it really feels like it was three years ago I was sitting in that room in the crazy landladies place getting frost bite on my toes and planning a few projects for the coming year. But by most peoples measures of time that was a year ago.

To put in perspective: Goober, People of the clear waters, Runcible (the superheroine), rayguns, halloween costume, and many other things...
they didn't exist a year ago.

Heck some of the ideas for the starting of them hadn't even completely gelled yet.

What will it be like in a year?
Take care of yourselves.

Upward and onward my friend. I'm glad you have some joy and creativity in your life.
You've made me smile and laugh in the last year on many occasions. It was just what I needed. Thanks.

good to hear it, now I've got to get you to shoot a drink out your nose and I can claim the ultimate success.

hopefully you arn't have a really bad spot in the cold part of the year that sees a lot of sadness as well.

I don't know about shooting liquids out my nose, but I can do some pretty gross things with salt water. When I first got my septum pierced, I had to clean it with salt water. I got use to sucking water up my nose. The gross part is what I ended up doing with it next.
