Heya,
I'm good, as per usual.
Long time no speak. What have you been up to?

Wish we had labor day here, I remember liking it when I lived in PA. I'd rather have Thanksgiving off though since I always end up having to stay home to help mom cook even though it's not a holiday here. We have a bunch of other silly days off here though; old Norse holidays and stuff that for traditional reasons still are red calendar days.

Thanks for the nice words
I'm right handed but for a lot of purposes (not including writing) I can use my left fairly well. How come you ask? *curious*

Favorite Brite book would have to be Drawing Blood followed by Lost Souls. It always amazed me that so few people have heard of her, personally I think she's brilliant. She's one of the few authors who can write about anything really "wrong" but make it seem so okay and acceptable.

I love the shadows in your work, as well as the subtle colours. Please make more.

I asked solely because of weird reasons - the placement of your scars. The ones I've noticed are placed on your left arm, implying you're right handed, but there are also some on the right side of your abdomen, so I was wondering whether you made those with your left hand.

I read Drawing Blood a long time ago, and I loved it, but Lost Souls is the only one I own and therefore have reread recently. Yes, I don't understand her lack of fame either, since she's a lot better than most of the authors focusing on vampires out there. Her lack of moral high ground when it comes to her characters makes me love her.

I will as soon as I've convinced my gf to pose for/with me as well

Almost starting to get a little freaked out by people suddenly noticing and commenting on the placement of my scars... in all the years since I cut myself no one's commented on it. But in the past month I've had three people mention that and actually comment on the right-handed part.

I'd offer to lend them to you but doubt you're anywhere near where I am in Sweden. I have several of her short story collections as well but have to admit I haven't actually read all of them. Don't know why tbh, but get to that once I've finished reading Blink.

Cool! I wish you much luck in your convincing!

I guess when it rains, it pours. Perhaps it's just gotten less controversial over the years, or people have just become bolder and ruder - choose your pick. I, for one, am mostly just rude, but the question genuinely intrigued me for some reason. Scars, and especially intentional scars, show a lot about a person.

Actually, I was very surprised that after viewing your pictures realize that you're also Swedish. WTF. Well, we probably live very far apart anyway, since I reside in the far south.

Blink? I've not heard of that book. Do you refer to the one by Malcolm Gladwell?

GhostSparrow In reply to Vidrig [2009-08-21 09:30:41 +0000 UTC]

Rude... well, if that's how you prefer to phrase it. I'd prefer to call it honest and/or upfront, but most of all curious. I tend to always ask people whatever comes to mind and deal with potential consequences afterward

I'm half Swedish at least, other half is American.
I'm from Stockholm but live in Norrköing at the moment (studying).

Yes, I was indeed referring to Malcom Gladwell's book. It's a brilliant book, I'm only like half way through but I'm loving every page of it. It's not exactly Poppy Z Brite but it's a damn good read.

Vidrig In reply to GhostSparrow [2009-08-21 11:03:37 +0000 UTC]

I'll go for curious, then. I prefer to be upfront as well, and sometimes the consequences are indeed interesting. In this case, I got an interesting conversation. Yay.

Hah... yeah, Norrköing is indeed a bit too far away for me to come and borrow one book, but it sure would be fun in its own, demented way.

It seems like people agree with you on account of Blink. I'll definitely check that one out.

Well, good luck with your future photography. I'll definitely be cheering you on!

Thank you again for the favs on my work, but mostly for the conversation ^^

How big is the hard-drive on your laptop? You store movies on it? Really?

And I'm already jealous of this cop fellow!

She's really made quite an impression on me and I think the only conclusion I can draw right now is that this is going to be an interesting fall...

Uhm. It's a Macbook... think the hard-drive is like 150GB but I don't really store much on it. I keep some movies on it but usually I just watch and delete. My external hard-drive crashed a while ago so I don't trust them atm.
