Haven't written here in a few days.
Nothing of worth, anyway. The past few days I've spent my computer time watching episodes of Skins and trying to work up the effort to write the code for my photo-comic.
It's going to be an interesting experiment. I've done three so far(although only 2 have gone up - laziness) and I already feel like I can say more in four panels and a few captions than I can in these posts. I don't think I'll be abandoning written posts, though.
Another reason I haven't written here much is the letters I write Natalie. They're pretty long, for Facebook messages, and leave me kind of 'written-out'.
Oh, and obviously the biggest problem is that my life is empty and boring. So there's not much to write about, really.

Looking back
I'm slowly putting the 6 month archive of posts from before the ...unpleasantness... back onto the site. I'm barely half-way through January right now, but it should be all done in a week or two. At some point I'll have to work out a nav system that works with this design scheme. Why is it always the little details I forget when it comes to this place?
Looking over my old posts is a little... disturbing. I talked a lot about my general craziness, a lot about depression, loneliness, my various addictions to things like coke, pizzas, subways, comics. I was, and still am, a little wary of putting the archives back up, because they paint a picture of a not very pleasant me - and there are people visiting this site who I would like to like me.
It's important to have those posts up, though, because it really highlights how much I've changed over the three months I was in America. The craziness is still there naturally, but now it seems to work in my favour. Instead of being introverted, alone and depressed, I'm now insanely confident, and don't give a crap what other people think about me, because when it comes down to it - I like me, and that's all that matters.
Even the odd addictions have been conquered to some extent. I'm sick of Subway. I'll happily have a glass of water over coke. I'm not blind to how much comics cost, and won't blow hundreds of pounds on pretty paper anymore.
The new subtitle for this site is "Watch Genius Grow". I would be worried about the arrogance of such a subtitle, except... it's kind of true. I'm a very smart, very funny, very imaginative human being, and I'm going to be famous before I'm 25. To make that subtitle count, therefore, I have to post all the posts that I don't really like anymore, even stretching back to my entries from 2004 - because they are my evolution. They show me growing, changing. To borrow a phrase from a Newport University lecturer - they show me blossoming.
If you're new to the site, you're starting at the best possible time. The only way from here is up - check back every now and then, see what I'm up to, and watch the growth of a superstar.
Actually, scratch that. Kochalka already has the 'superstar' thing down. Good thing I'm going with Genius.
