h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't know how to say
What I need to say today
After thinking for some time
And going over in rhyme

I have made my own choice
And now I do use my voice
By myself I did decide
And in a few I did confide

That I was having a break
As my creativity does awake
I'll still be here now and again
I need this to keep me sane

My mind is fragile it needs rest
Please at me do not jest
Don't try and convince me otherwise
Do not to the occasion try and rise

I won't be stopped no one can
Not even my greatest HooToo fan
I will be back, and I have a spy
So for me, please do not cry

But I haven't left totally
Please don't think badly of me
I need this time to find my style
Though it may take a while

The fight will be worth it
Once my styles for humans are fit
Coming for the return of the assassin
As a lot in my head is in

Anthea is coming tomorrow, I can't wait to see her again, even though it hasn't been a month yet. Once she is here I shall be cutting down on my Hootoo time, probabily perminantly. But I will still be ACEing and helping out with New Researchers and writing for the post.

My decision to cut down on my hours is due to many factors, but I think the one that need to be most meantioned iss that I want to spend more time developing my writing and poetry and my art. I did a little painting today, but it was many non college related. I ahve been writing a story and it is going so very slowly as I am spreading myself so thin, and I feel like the place I'm least needed and wanted is HooToo, as I can't cut out anything else, asides college and if I did that, then I would be stuffed as I couldnt develop my art as easily. I have only stayed around for so long because of my darling girlfriend who is so surpportive of me, but I have another way of talking to her now without getting eye strain from staring at my monitor

My contextual studies tutor has always been busy, but yesterday I finally got a tutorial with him only been waiting since october. He was amazed by my work, both my 200 word essays(which are so hard, you can't really say anything about 2 paintings in 200 words really) and my sketchbook work. Only problem was that he said he would have to fail me if he did my assessment now, as my sketchbook has no words and my essays have no pictures I knew I needed to add the things to the oppostite, but wasn't sure how much to write for my sketchbook and my printer has been low on ink to print off the images, so I will have to sort it out... But I showed him my poetry and flashed my story and told him how many I had written and he said that he could see me writing poetry and doing book illustrations for a living . I hadn't told huim that was what I wanted to do, but it is.

All this got me thinking and know I am planning on setting up my own visual resource catalogue, as I will need it. So if you ever see a really nerdy tall guy walking around with a camera taking random snaps of just about anything then that is me

My main drawing impliment at the moment is my biro, ah the wonderful biro, never needs sharpening shame I can't erase your marks. Yes I know I could use a clicky pencil but tonally and speed wise, it isn't the same. There is something about the deep black lines on the white paper that makes me prefer it, the only problem is that you can't really watercolour over the top, which doesn't matter to me as I can't use paints properly to save my life. The thing with a biro too is that I can do things very expressively, which seems to be my style at the moment and my tutor (visual studies one) likes my work, though I can also do the more labourous technical work, but I will never make a technical illustrator, as my tutors and parents say " you are too creative" this wasn't so a year ago but it is now.

I'm helping with the Assassins Guild Relaunch still(then with the guild when it gets started), as the history for the guild is coming out of my head, it is actually based on a story I am writing at the moment, and its prject name is "The Assassin 1" okay not the most original project name in the world, but it will do for me. I am hoping once the story is illustrated it will be the piece that manages to get me pushed into the real world of writing and Illustration.

I really don't know what to say to you all... I really don't...

If anyone wants to contact me in a hurry, email me, the address is on my PS, I will check that most days, me thinks.

This isn't goodbye, as I can't stay away perminatly so shalom, till we meet again

Khamsin

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, let us know how things go

Take care!

thanks, see you all later

Byeeeee...

(Today is now Thursday )

ah a fellow lover of the humble biro, probably the best drawing tool ever


Good luck to you

hope it all works out the way you want it.

just on doing a little research for an essay or two.

Have fun

Especially with our own Anthea holding the reins.
