Hmm..

A lot has happened over the years.  I can't believe it's been 5 years since I've posted anything here, and really.. had nothing to do with a mental block or art getting "old".  I have had my own 'black dog' as Churchill so succinctly put it, and have made major changes to my life.

As a result, I've been pretty.. artless.. for the past 5 years.  Literally, stopped everything.  Now, it's starting to trickle back in slowly.  

Some of the things I've learned:

*  As a rule, most people who stay in Second Life for a long long period of time.. are generally broken in some way.

*  Creativity is not infinite.  In order to remain creative, there must be 'recharge' times.  Times of new stimulus to help jump start the brain.

*  I cannot make everyone happy.

*  Change hurts.

*  Having my life on my own terms and no one elses does more for one's soul than any amount of therapy.

*  I don't really like fruit.  (this may seem like some sort of hidden message, but it's not.  I genuinely don't care for fruit.)

*  I like red.  And loud places sometimes..  and actually hanging out with friends.

*  Do not mix wine and bourbon.

*  My body rebels against me when I eat bread or carbohydrates.

*  I still like celtic knotwork and creating..  

*  I like furniture.. as in, learning about it, touching it, seeing the designs, the creators, I see the art in it.  Yes, I understand how Wright was a genius.

*  I don't like sad or horror movies anymore.  I've been sad and/or scared for most of my life, and I really don't like being manipulated into feeling that way generically.

*  I like having tentacles on my walls.

*  I'm REALLY REALLY good at making sweet scones.  Irony is something I have to live with.

I'm about, just.. different.
