ltgmars1. I sneeze in groups of five. If I sneeze less than that, I feel emotionally empty for a few minutes (seriously). If I sneeze more than that, I feel accomplished.
2. I haven't forgotten about the lovespam posts. I just wanted to get the reciprocal ones shipped out first. :D
3. I take back ever saying I can't draw. I draw well enough. You can kind of tell who the characters are and stuff. It just takes a FRICKIN' LONG TIME. It took five hours to draw four pages last night. I still have six pages to go, if all goes as planned. And that's just the sketchy pencil rough draft. Without backgrounds. Then I have to draw the clean copy with all the random details, and then I have to ink it using the one size pen I have (I need different-sized pens, I say), and then I have to scan it and edit in all the text and do all the shading on the computer without a tablet and/or stylus.
And then maybe if it doesn't make me cry on the inside, I'll post a LQ version of it. And pimp the anthology it's going to be printed in. And encourage everyone to go to Malaysia and buy a copy. :D
4. My to-do list for tonight:
- finish placement essay for first-year writing seminar, GAHH IT'S DUE TODAY YOU FREAK
- edit Blood+ because I'm a loser and I've been sitting on it for, like, a week
- finish rough draft, cry into my pillow when I take back ever saying that I take back ever saying that I can't draw, because I can't draw

So what i'm trying to say is, you're on the fast track. Yaaaaaaaay. And if you pimp SMASH! i will love you forever and ever. If we get enough excess profit to do more printing, i might sell it to people overseas. Just a thought.
GANBATTE.
