Hey guys, how's everyone doin'? :)

Thinking about what a terrible adult I will be. I am completely unable to make a snack for myself, despite the full fridge and freezer, and two snack drawers. Food incompetent, anyone.  :-\
I say vol, you say tron! Vol!

I'm doing pretty well. Parents're at work, sister went with mom, so I've got the house to myself. Which might mean I might do some sort of arts or something, since I have a terrible fear of showing anyone IRL my art, especially WIPs. I don't even know why, I'm fine with showing it to you wonderful people... :P
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Is this some magic wisdom you've brought back from the outside world? :O (or when you stopped doing the Daily Page Updates and changed to a Weekly/Fortnightly Catch-up for the comic? Because that sounds like a good idea)

I actually agree, not sure how to phrase the "why", but I agree.
I used to be super addicted to the comic and the forum, and then when I took it down a whole lotta notches, I realised how dependant I was and that I didn't really need to be there all the time... (also I remembered that I had friends and responsibilities and stuff <_<) and now I barely remember to log on or even check the comic O__O Like, not completely, but I do for]Gotta fit the forum into ya life, not ya life into the forum?[/size] Gotta be balance and moderation~

Or am I misinterpreting? :I
I mean, I'm happy that people like it here so much, but there's much more to benefit and learn from, outside of here and in the real world.  This kinda goes back to the self discovery talk from last week with Red; I think the internet is one of the worst places to find out who you are.  Good for getting information, not good for puzzling that information out.
(At work, this response took me 5 hours to successfully type out, walking place to place :O)

Mmmh. Yes and no. Yes it won't be enough to know yourself better and won't replace the real world and all the possibilities outside, but, to my mind, not internet but community might help sometimes :) (And if I don't understand properly what you wanted to say, I apologize...)
I understand Haiz and Feartheviolas on this subject, a place like this forum can be somewhere... something else. And sometimes, a place in which you feel more free to speak or allow you to be yourself than in the real world, for a lot of personal reasons. In an other hand, I agree with you, it would be a mistake to stop at this and not try to live outside too :) Am I clear ? I doubt...

Have to make sure you don't get steel and aluminium mixed into the same crucible or you have one big sparkler on your hands.
You know, this gives a totally new meaning to the concept of the "flaming sword" ... Can you imagine a sword being made of thermite, and when the battle goes badly, the wielder activates some primer and WHUUUMF the thing starts dripping white-hot metal on the foes?

(Yes you could potentially light a bottle of it but then you are being careless.)
I note that the guy in the video did leave the containers standing right next to the dishes ...

Hm, I guess the only problem would be making the thing. I mean, if you can't melt them together, how...

Yeah, I thought that was ... an interesting choice.

That would be amazing, but what would you do when it melts through the blade?

Hey...not so good. After an incredibly busy weekend my body decided that a break would be in order and I came down with a nice gastroenteritis. So lots of sleep for me and hopefully tomorrow it will be better.

Oof, that doesn't sound good. Bed rest sounds like the best idea, and I hope you feel better soon. Don't forget to drink plenty of water!

Well--
Guess who has a new haircut.
Yes, me.
It looks like Emil's lol
And it looked like Sigrun's but now I modified a bit.
Now I need to dye it. New Red Cloud's hair SOON in movies(?).
I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet.

There are some special sorts of steel which are described as having been pressed together from powders. I have no idea how much pressure is required for those, though, and I'ld suspect that it's still not quite done at room temperature ...

That would be amazing, but what would you do when it melts through the blade?
Um. Say "ouch" ... ? ;D

I don't even like showing my parents my art. Also, if someone sneaks my sketchbook I will blow up at them. or just get really embarrassed and almost cry. I am selective of who I show my art to.
