So, as the more astute of you may already be aware, my 23rd Birthday is rapidly approaching. At the end of this week, I will have to try to remember to tell people I’m 23 instead of 22. On the subject of whether I have converted birthdays to my calendar yet, no. The calendar does not officially begin to take effect until 1.1.1.0, and it is only 1.3.3.-1 today, so realistically, the old farmer’s calendar still applies. If I were going to convert, (which incidentally, I just did for the first time) I would find that my birthday is 4.3.3.-29, which means that I will be 28 new years old on Thursday and 23 farmer years onld on Friday. Weird. That they would happen to fall so close together, I mean.

Anyway, my birthday is coming up (one way or another) at the end of this week. I would have said something sooner, but it didn’t occur to me that it was coming up so quickly until Friday, when someone mentioned that they had ordered something for me for my birthday and it had not yet arrived. Looks like I’m back to my old habit of missing important calendar dates until they are right upon me. A couple years ago, I didn’t realize Christmas was coming up until December 23rd, and I had to run around pretty crazy-like to be ready in time. Last year I overcompensated, started too early, and ran out of steam before Christmas arrived.

“I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a hot-gushing, butt-cramping, gut-hosing orgasm.”

In case you don’t read Modern Evil regularly, I wanted to point out a lot of activity that has been taking place not just on the main page of the site, but also in the forums. Most of the posts are from me, but we had a surprize reaction from IQPierce which resulted in some more interesting comments from me. Me, me, me. I have so much to say. I wish someone else did, too.

If you do, please, go post.

So, in terms of raw creative power, this weekend was … fair. I wrote two poems this weekend. The first two in years. One of them I typed up and mailed off to Spain. After it gets there, I’ll probably put it on ME for everyone to read, but at least for a little while it’s something special for her. The other I would have posted today, but I just plum forgot that notebook at home this morning. Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep writing poetry, now that I’ve started again. Now that I seem to have surpassed my old bias against free verse and blank verse.

Still seem to make patterns with my words, but they’re not just rhymed couplets anymore.

The other creative thing I did this weekend was to work on learning to draw in an anime style for one of the comics I’m going to be doing. I’m comfortable with the slow rate things are going, and am now planning on a 1.1.4 release date. 26 days and counting. I seemed to be able to draw in a convincingly well-done manner last night, even while wearing latex gloves. Now, if I can just convince myself to spend the next 45 minutes adapting females from popular college comics, I can finally get started on actually completing some more strips.

So, I only got eight out of ten right. But average adults not being able to answer questions designed for 7 to 11 year old students does not come as too much of a surprize to me. Take a look at this and find out more, plus, see how you do compared to 1000 UK adults.
