Do you think a pity approach would work? Begging? You know I think I once saw a picture of you in leather somewhere (cgtalk)? Ahh forget it, Obviously you are way smarter than me. I give up. You have great art by the way, but your writings seem a bit sarcastic though. This dialogue has been amusing, your wit is awesome. Toodles.

Pain?!?
Does turning the back help?
I say this because . . . how can I say it without sounding a proper fool? Maybe I can't so I'll just say it . . . if it would help to show or reveal the face, then I and many others would respect and support you.
It's a cliché to say we are each unique, but you are more unique (in a good way, the video game thing apart) than hordes of the normally unique. I treasure the tiny slices I see of you.

Somebody needs some Boost supplement!
I'm kidding, I really like the hair on this one, billowy and mane-y.
When I think of November, I think 'Steve', even though I don't know him. After seeing the rotten movie "The Tao of Steve", the name 'Steve' is pretty much ruined for me.

Surfer Dude - Eatpoo, I think--a picture with a red leather jacket, right? (Well, pleather, really, but who's keeping track?) Can't help the sarcasm, I'm afraid--I was born that way. Ha, ha. Glad you like the art. I can say I'm flattered without a hint of sarcasm.
naomi - Of course I remember you! I still have a painting of yours, which I bought on eBay just before I left Sweden. Still got your site in my bookmarks, too. Shame about EK--I seem to have lost touch with a lot of great folks since the forums went down.
jk - Ha, don't worry about me. I mean, not that your concern isn't appreciated, or anything, but the pain described in this picture is of a physical nature. I was frustrated after nearly a month of terrible health. Haven't slept lying down in ages, because I can't breathe that way. It isn't comfortable, to say the least. Also, my doctor is bloody useless, and I hate having to visit her at the hospital, where some sneaky sick person could leap out and vomit on me at any moment.
Gail - Hey, thanks! I was pretty pleased with this one, myself. Man, you hated "The Tao of Steve," too? That was just a terrible movie. My ex was obsessed with it, for some reason--seemed to think it was laced with deep meaning invisible to everyone but him--but I couldn't see the appeal.

Dear Socar, I went to Eatpoo and your pleather pic is gone...*sniff*
Also, I want to apologize for teasing you while you were sick, I had no idea, and I sincerely hope that your health improves.
