I, too, have only been known to have a love for this particular forum; hell, it was a large portion of my life at one time, and on occasion I mourn the lack of such a community of fun-loving, artistic and fascinating individuals from around the world. This place was home away from home. It's time to go home, guys!

I'll let Dragon Warrior know about this, Pumpkin :P

Oh, I KNOW, alright :P Haha.
But hey... we're all gettin' older. I'm no longer the young pup I was when I first arrived at OB back in Version 1 (when our laptops were made of rock and dinosaurs on giant wheels charged it). That also means I'm getting older looking and facial hair has found its way into my appearance. Fwhat?

Hey, everyone. [b]NaNoWriMo[/b] started earlier last week and those that are participating are either furiously writing or procrastinating like usual (I am occasionally both). For those of you who don't know what [b]NaNoWriMo[/b] is, it's National Novel Writing Month. It takes place every November and you get the whole month to attempt to write a 50,000 word novel about whatever you feel like. There's also a [url="http://nanowrimo.org"]website[/url] for it. It's called a contest, but the only real prize is the satisfaction of accomplishing such a crazy goal. It can be tough and will really push a writer's limits.
I was just curious if anyone else is doing it this year. I know I am and I'm surprisingly doing pretty well compared to previous years. Perhaps if there are others out there, we can discuss each other's works and maybe even give some feedback. So share your stuff!
I live in Michigan and my friends have been trying to get me to go for the past five years, but I always have something going on on those weekends. And, as usual, I do this year. I'd go if I didn't have to perform in a show. I swear I'll get there next year, damnit.
I use my [url="http://www.twitter.com/iindie"]Twitter Account[/url] sparingly to update people I don't know on my life. Or so it would seem. I'm followed by a vast number of folks I've never met. I do have friends on there and they occasionally respond to my witty banter, but I think I [b]could[/b] probably [b]live without Twitter.[/b]

I won't spend much time rambling about the comic, but basically [i]Eddie Skizzorhands[/i] is just me passing the time when I feel like doodling. I whip out a new strip quite often so don't worry about waiting a whole week for a new one. Obviously it parodies Edward Scissorhands and I basically make cracks about little parts in the film. If you don't get the joke, you probably should watch that part of the movie to see if you can catch what I'm poking fun at. Either way, enjoy!
