A few days ago I decided it'd be a good idea to start reading manga, so I asked Zeynep for some suggestions. She suggested Fruits Basket, and I've finished three volumes of it so far. It's so addicting! I bought volumes 2 and 3 yesterday. I was only going to read volume 2 only, but I couldn't help myself and read both. The sad part is, I think the volume 4 is the last volume that's been translated to English so far, so I'll have to wait until the other volumes come out! The thought brings me a pain in my heart. Reading manga is a paradox in itself. I want to read it as fast as I can so I'll find out what happens next, but I also want to go as slowly as possible and pay attention to all the drawings. So this means I think I'm reading it too fast and too slowly at the same time, and these conflicting thoughts make me feel really uncomfortable. wah. bleh. posted by Melike at 16:22

comic is up
As I've mentioned before, I started a comic last week. It's only been 5 pages and kind of unclear so far, but I wanted to put it up anyway. Maybe it'll motivate me to draw more. I hope it flies. I've been spending the last six or so years of my life nagging at myself to draw a comic. I've started a few before, but the longest was about 51.5 pages before I quit. Maybe you don't quite understand this, but I feel like I have to draw comics in order to feel like I exist. I have other plans for this website, but only less than two weeks before I go back to school. I hope I can kill my urge to sit at the computer all day, because then I wouldn't be able to see my friends before I go away. posted by Melike at 04:57
