When you're trying to draw your cousin (also female, also with an Emilesque haircut) and she just ends up being Emil, but it's OK because they look similar enough to pretend you just can't make people look like themselves very well

I choked my laughter back while rocking back and forth and beaned myself in the back of the head on the back of the chair while snorting!

It is the three in the morning and I couldn't sleep till I finished my character insert picture and uploaded it.

I have been planning how to use my sheep's wool to make character dolls just so I will develop the urge to get out there and shear them.

Yes, yes, yes; we definitely need more dolls!
Are you planning to make felted dolls?

Yes that is the plan. I haven't decided how I am going to do all of the structure. The heads will be needle felted because you can achieve a great deal of detail with needle felting. I am trying to decide if I want to felt the whole body or stuff the body and felt the limbs or even learn how to make them jointed and movable. I have seen some teddy bears made with movable joints and I was thinking that the technique might work with the dolls too.

At some point I transitioned from "argh this does not look like her" to "Let's see, her arms are mostly hidden, so her black T-shirt looks kinda like the sauced shirt. Ah, good, she's wearing light-coloured pants."
Unfortunately, she didn't let me keep it. Sigh.
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

You know you've gotten your sister addicted to the forum when:

*accordion music plays in supermarket*

Me: accordion noises
Sister: nooooo stop that's terrifying!

When your mind jump on everything remembering the comic, as yesterday.
Friend : Do you eat with us this evening ? We're going to eat out with Émile, a friend.
Me, inwardly : Shut up, brain...

When you make this instead of sleeping:



I was curious to see when people would start reaching the Captain of a Sunken Ship title, and got a little bit carried away. The people graphed are as follows:
 
1) Fimby
2) Sunflower
3) Piney
4) Haiz
5) Laufey
6) Mélusine
7) Me

If people post according to their average posting rate, Fimby will get there first in between 2-3 weeks (Haiz will also pass Piney around this time). Then Sunflower and Haiz will get their promotions within a few days of each other. Of course this changes slightly all the time, so it's only a rough estimate.

You're posting too much? Hahaha just look at my average. And I am on vacation in Japan. Using subway station wifi. To top it all off, my posting rate was 12 before I left. You have no reason to be worried about your posting rate at all  ;)

... when you have no reaction whatsoever to this revelation because you already were convinced that everyone who matters in this world must already be following all things SSSS, just in lurker mode.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Math. I didn't actually do any math. I just typed numbers into a program and it made pretty lines for me :D

As for the level of seriousness, I have no idea. All I know is that if my posting rate gets much higher I may have to change my forum username to Haiz II or something ;)

Or just introduce the "haiz" as a unit for posting frequency... Hertz, Haiz, it's almost the same... :D

"Your posting frequency is approximately 0.93 haiz!"
