I'm social phobic. Too many people in one room freaks me out, so I don't go to parties. Some weeks I have trouble going to lectures.

My friends know this, and they give me space. But every so often, I need to reach out to people, to have a proper conversation, to be close to someone.


It always seems to be when people have other shit on.

Flat skies
Suits and black umbrellas

My little brother starts high school next year. Absolutely terrifying.
But as scary as it is for me, I'm worried about him.

You see, my older sister is good at music and arty stuff, while I excelled in science and maths.

He's pretty good at sciency stuff too, but he'll always be compared to us.

Unfortunately, he's not good at sport, so he's not going to find an area of school for himself.



Geography and History.

So here is pic number 2, for A Thousand Changes.
Not my prettiest, or most polished drawing, but Most. Fun. Ever.

So, the whole... 1, 2? People who read this know I've been working on the cap_ironman Big Bang challenge.
And by working? Not writing.

Here is my artwork for Tsukinofaerii's Per Expectations

The first computer game I ever played was Lemmings. The original one, not a port or sequel. I absolutely adored it.
I thought those little guys with their bouncing green hair were the cutest things ever!

Why yes, I was 7.

The strange man who smelled of cigarettes waved a crumpled piece of paper in my face.

It waved so fast I couldn't see it properly
Some writing what did it say?

A4 paper.
Printer paper.

Was it something he'd made himself?
Or maybe a charity pamphlet.

Something else maybe

He continued to wave it, obnoxiusly, but also hopeful

He had a pile of papers, maybe I was to take one

Waving again and words, spoken words lost among the crowds and the traffic on a city evening

the crowds that pushed me further down the path away

"Come on!" calls a friend nearly physically dragging me away

I never did see what that crumpled piece of paper said.
