I get thrown off so badly when I realize that people who are 18 years old today were born in 1995 or 1996, depending on if their birthday has happened yet. I know where I was in ‘95/’96, and it just hurts my head.

Yes, oh my god.  I had someone tell me they were born in 1995 when I was at STLV last year and I wanted to lie down.  I remember doing so much shit those years.  I made so many characters and wrote so many stories just damn.  And I was ten for the last third of 1996, so I definitely remember that time even better than I remember stuff in 1991. 

And obviously, people older than me have my alarm layered on top of their own, so I'm done with posting age freakouts! It super annoys me when people spend too long getting blown away by how young I am (though that happens less and less now since I’m primarily on tumblr), so I won’t be posting any more of this stuff~

I did have a conversation with someone the other day though about how my brain seems to be stuck in like, 1998-2001.  For some reason those years are stuck in a little bubble of ‘this is acceptably recent’ even if dates after that make me think 'holy fuck that was forever ago’.   I don’t know if I just have exceptionally strong memories of that time period, if that was the last time as a teenager that shit wasn’t straight up horrible, if I just created some of the things I still cherish most then? A combo of all of them, maybe?   But that’s a very strange bubble of time for me.

They’re pretty too. I like that shade of gold. :D (I’ve heard that if you drink a lot of milk, that helps the nails stay strong too?)

This is the shade, if you want some for yourself!

This explains a lot.  Left unchecked, I can go through a gallon in less than a week.

… Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, yo’ nails be fine, grrrrrrrrl.

Ahahaha thanks~   I have nails the approximate hardness of granite, and like 200 bottles of nail polish, so my fingers can get sort of formidable at times!

I like Jeeves and Bertie, but the idea of Garak and Bashir as Jeeves and Bertie sounds adorable too. <3

It not only SOUNDS adorable, I assure you that it IS.  Definitely. There is a really large project in this very vein in the works, but it is taking considerable effort and skill on the parts of myself and the other magnificent party involved and is thus taking a while.  

Never before have I so enjoyed drawing a man in ridiculous leg wear as I have when drawing DS1920s Julian as Space!Bertie.

Star Trek Las Vegas - all I ate for breakfast at that convention was the fruit and nut oatmeal at Starbucks.
