Is it me or are things a bit dead on LJ lately? It's not necessarily a bad thing for me since I have been rather out of it. I am busy and preoccupied and slightly sick. I have been having thinky thoughts and stuff. And I have been thinking of making a big rambling ranty post. But then I can't find the energy, or the right words. And then I start wondering if I will offend people with what I want to say. You never know. People are easily offended. Especially by the written word.
Anyway, I have been cautious and only signed up for three fests these days. They all have deadlines in february. I managed to finish the main art for two of them - now what I call post-production is left - but the third and most ambitious one is still just in the idea stage. Yes, I know time is tight. But I usually manage it.
I have been making stuff for my shop and having ideas for stuff. Many of them have been set aside or nipped in the bud. I am seriously constrained by money, resources and space.
I had stuff to share with you, but I just remembered I have to fix up the photos first and everything and it's a rare nice-ish day outside and I have plans to meet my sister to go the Science museum and the V&A and I really wanted to have the time to walk down the King's Road first. So I got to go.
More later.
God, I AM the world's worst blogger. You can tell by the fact I actually would rather go outside!
And by the fact I didn't actually manage to say anything of interest or substance in this whole redundant post.

What are you up to and have been so silent? Not still looking for the perfect paper I hope.
(I have read the posts and like the block printing stuff a lot, btw, but just haven't got around to commenting.)
I won't be offended by what you say. If I don't agree with it, I'll probably ignore it. I'm really really good at not letting an opinion come between me and people I like. I find the way people's minds work fascinating, and we've all got such different things about us.
of course, I hold back for fear of offending or hurting people too (there's a reason I talk so much about my writing or cooking, but not other things) so I guess I'm worried about that too.
Now I have to remember what I said!
So, yeah, I hear you. I also swing from anti-social hermit to annoying chatterbox.
As for my thinky post, I should get round to writing it. LJ is for discussions after all and I do want other people's opinions. But I just can't sit down to write, I am too busy making stuff, or drawing, or posting tutorials. But I will!
As for people getting offended. I keep on being amazing how even the tamest statement of opinion will offend people on the internet. So I will use a disclaimer to keep such sensitive people at bay.
I totally get the not just sitting down to write... I have loads of things I want to post about, but organizing my thoughts takes so much time away from the writing and the cooking and the life things.
Yeah, it's amazing what sets folks off? I have learned that if I don't agree with something, I look away. It's not worth getting up in arms about stuff when I know we're all different and we all have different views.
:D
Hope you're feeling better!
I am feeling a bit better, but not a whole load. Thank you.
