My Bio
Every time someone (or something) asks me to tell them about myself I sit there staring at them. I draw a blank.

Out of everything to tell about yourself, how can you choose one thing? How does "Tell me about yourself" help you narrow it down at all? There's so much information that can be gained from one individual and there's so many different aspects and factors that culminate to create a person that surely someone can't sum it up in a few sentences?

Isn't it better to be asked specifically rather then to try and define someone from so broad a question?

I'm going to let everyone in on a secret. I'm really shite at being active :nod: It's true, I'm really bad at being active. It's amazing how much it's not obvious isn't it? ;) I started coming on here and setting out to do things with positive intentions, like most of the things I set out to do in life, and unfortunately I've had to have a period of forced hibernation which is ongoing. At the moment I'm pretty bored and feel some inspiration so I'm making the most of it and telling my body it can get stuffed for the day because I'm entertaining myself. I wanted to update my journal to let everyone know, if you want to know, that I'm fine

About time for an update, maybe, What do you reckon? First I want to thank everyone who has re-watched me after my old account and thank you for all the comments, :+fav:'s, and new watchers. I'd thank you individually, but I may miss you by accident. I really appreciate everyone who has followed me thus far. I haven't finished moving all my stuff from my old account because I can't seem to find all the original copies. Not yet anyway. I'm a bit worried I may have lost some stuff because there was a time there where my computer died and I lost everything on it, but I was pretty sure I backed everything up on disc. I just have to find them no

Howdy to anyone who reads this and to visitors. I'm an old member (been a deviant since about 2006/7) and already had an account, but after not being active for a very long time and then recently being bitten by the painting bug again (I love art bugs, don't you?), I decided to start a new account. I could upload to my old one, but I feel like a fresh start. Or almost a fresh start. A semi clean slate. Sometimes it's so lovely to have a clean or semi slate to start with isn't it? It's so calming. I say almost clean slate as I will be transferring some of my older work over to this account. Mainly the ones that were favourited or the ones

Thanks a lot for the watch.
Thank you so much for the watch. I hope to be creating more art soon. :-)
Well, I just thought I'd say "Hi" since I haven't seen you around for a while. Cheers and happy new year my friend.
Thank you! Happy new years to you too! I hope it was a good one :hug:
I just stopped by to say I agree with the tell me about yourself thing. I tend to see a lot of undefined things in what would seem to others simple questions. These often get me stuck xDDD People need to be very specific.
For example, what is your name? now are you asking me for my first name, last name, first and last, first last and first middle, all names... If written, is this in block capitals or normal? Gets a bit confusing ^^;
Anyways hello :aww:
Thanks for stopping by! It's nice to see someone else thinks the same about all these non specific questions and descriptions. I've been wondering if anyone else ever gets stuck with them. There's so many ways you could answer "Tell me about yourself." Amongst other things, I'm amazed anyone ever gets to have a discussion.

I always answer with my first name with people and then surname with orders because that used to trip me up too. So many people who take orders for something never specify. And then the question when people ask who you are, but they mean what is your name. They should say that or else you could end up taking that all sorts of ways :faint:

And hello to you too ;)
No problem :aww:
Yeah tis =] and yeah nobody else really seems to see how complicated they are... Same :XD: You can't really sum anybody up very quickly.

That's a good system =] Indeed x.x who are you is a VERY complicated question.

:wave:
