roxy | Oh For

fucks sake. I'm spending too much time doofing around when I should be finishing this part of 'Moon'I had a great jumpstart to the brain administered by Abi--thank you so much!But, my brain is being a pain. It's that (whispers in old maid voice)time of the month, that time when anything that's not nailed down gets eaten. Everything.Or beaten. I get crabby too.Or, *koff*

I read 'The Killing Joke' today...fuuuuck.Wish I could draw like that.I'm like a non-self esteem will-o-the-wisp.Every time I read a great fic *eyeballs various folks you know who you are* I drown in "I suckitude' I'm ok, I wish I were great. Yes. I confess. I want to be GREAT! But, I'm good, so I guess that counts for a bit.If I'd kept working at my art, I'd *be* great, but naw, I had to fritter away years being a mom...kidding.Not about the mom part,I did a damn good job there. *pats self on sloping shoulders*

Best part about this obsession? Finding out the world has so many bright, creative and funny people in it!

Ain't it cool!

In other news, I've been playing with my journal,YaY!

This is beautiful, Roxy! Much nicer, IMHO, the gray and blue was kind of cold, didn't really feel like you. I recognize the wallpaper too, one day i went and looked at all your art in previous entries, i was going to mention, but i forgot. You've got lot's of time yet to become great, especially now that the fledgling(s)? have left the nest. You're only 50! :)

Thanks! It is a little friendlier, isn't it? Plus a lot easier on the eyes, as far as reading goes. And if I may, *pinches your cheek* Thanks for the kind words. I also wanted to ask where else you posted your story?

I posted it at cox_and_co. 4 people commented and liked it there. i was so surprised! i felt like an imposter, like it was just a trick and I'm not a real writer ~ yeah, i know that's bullshit! I may not be posting much 'til I get something else written. i got a weird idea that came out of nowhere in the bathtub yesterday. i always get my best ideas in the tub. I also got an idea for another H/W drawing. You must have seen that painting of a man with a violin and a woman sitting at a piano who have been playing a duet, but in the pic the man is grabbing the woman around the waist with one arm and kissing her and he's still got the violin in the other hand? i think it was used for a perfume ad. I don't think Watson played piano, but he could be sitting reading, or something.

Good for you!And yeah, I know what you feel like. But, wow, that's great. And I hope you'reging to keep checking in , I enjoy talking to you. Strangely the tub is a very fertile place, inspiration wise.I get in there sometimes just *so* I can think.Or is it just the one place the beloved little family will actually leave me alone in? And I do remember the pic, oh yes. It would be perfect...erm.Request, or bunny plopping? *g*

*facepalm* Never post without reading first...

"...erm.Request, or bunny plopping? *g*"

Bunny, i guess. you can do it if youwant to. it just popped into my head. I think you'd make it good. I'll still be around probably. It's just that i have so much reading that i ought to be doing to research the stories i want to write. (sigh)

hereto help if you need it! *wishes good stuff on ya*

Ooh!
I like the background of the journal!!!
I must do that to mine - i must play with my new paid account!!!
:)
And yes, it SUCKS to read really good stuff sometimes and then just go...
I'll NEVER be that good!
*sob*
But fuckit.
I'm just gonna...WRTIE!
Fix my bois, fix the Whedonverse and... damn, get my 'summer of spike' freakin' contribution ready.
Wanna beta it for me and tell me that i screwed up the Xander voice totally?
'Cause i think i did.
*smooches*

Keep writing! You ROCK.

*baps you up side the head!*Hello! I'm talking about you in this group--Every time I read a great fic *eyeballs various folks you know who you are* I drown in "I suckitude'

My dear, If you don't need it tomorrow, than send it on! It would be my pleasure! God, I'm so lucky! I get to see all the great stories!!And talk about how much I like them, 'cause ya'll are so damn good! Love you all *Roxy sobs, and leans on your shoulder like she's stinko drunk*

Sheesh.
Talking about me.
See, when i read something like that...
Well, first i do the spastic chair dance of the total squeeeeeeing geekitude.
Then i sorta boggle in utter wonder.
Then i do the dance again.
Heh.
You're a good writer, though - don't fool yourself!
And no, don't need it tomorrow...
Just watch your email, i'll get it out to you in the next couple of hours, just need to do a re-read.
:)
Thanks!
I always hesitate 'cause, well, annoying! and also, you read this and then when it's posted you've alREADY read it and that might be irritating.
So, anyway...
:)
Thanks!
*bounce*
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

ok, I'm going to bed now, but first--I'm going to sell off the team of dental floss inspecting ponies, so's I can afford to fly out there, walk up to your front door and BAP YOU IN PERSON! Never- read that again-*never* irritating! And you know I don't say shit to be nice 'cause you're a tough kid, and can take it. OK? OK. ;) *huggles*

Nooooooo!!!!
Don't sell the pygmy ponies!!
I'll be good, promise!
See, it's this way.
I've been writing since...fuck, childhood. And i've probably had a total of three people respond in a positive way to my writing. And probaly only ONE who really wanted to read more.
Now, i'm online and posting stuff and - DAMN. It's almost overwhelming.
And, you know, a little freaky.

But i'm glad to know you'd come here and bap me. That makes me happy.
:)
Just watched QAF - i think next week is the season finale - ??!!! Fuck, too short a season! So i'll have the eps out to you in a couple weeks if it is, these last...five, i guess.
*sob*
Anyway, yeah - thanks, Roxy-luv, you're the best!
XXXXXXXX

Nooooooo!!!! Don't sell the pygmy ponies!! I'll be good, promise! *loves you to pieces*

Heeeee.
:)
Check your email!

OOH! *runs to check!*

It really is beautiful, Roxy. My most hated prof in art school told me that the only way to be really great is to practice a lot. (stpid bitch...) You have plenty of time to be great.

Also, happy to lend you the brain jumper cables any time. :)

*hugs* Thank you! Love the image of brain jumper cables! And ,many art school profs would benefit by having stick removal therapy.What is it about teaching it that seems to suck the joy out of it for some folks?

They are all evil bitches who can't be kind to anyone even when they need it (I know, bitter much?). BTW you aren't suck-tastic. I love your stuff. Makes me laugh and or think and or shiver.

Yeah, I remember one class, everyone warned me what an evil bitch this instructer was, how she cussed folks out and whatnot. Naturally it was a class in which I was teh suck--3d design,god help me. I was so bad!Any way, she wasn't mean to me, she was kind of nice, after I cussed her ass out once.'Course, I was a baby Roxy then and since have learned good manners and tolerance.(Earth rolls wrong way on it's axis in shock at bold-faced lie) Good times, Good times....

I had this one prof who I will just call Cruella who banned me from using color for my first 3 years in an attempt to give me dicipline. (Like anything could give me dicipline.) Her critiquing was so painful when directed at me that one off my classmates asked if I had to go to the hospital from the burns from being raked over the hot coals. Hated her!!!! Others were nice and completely useless. Why does it have to be useful or bearable?
