#in all honesty...

I actually enjoy being asked about my characters, stories, and drawings (though not as much as the other two). I'm not really sure why, but I have a few reasons. I know I like it because it helps me get to know my own character; sometimes people asked questions I hadn't thought of, and I go, "Oh! Good idea -- that could be important".

I also like it because it makes me feel likke people are actually interested in what I do and the characters I create. I mean, I totally get it if your busy or your brain doesn't know how to really express your interest in any shape or form (or whatever it is)--I don't want to sound pushy or desperate. I don't *need* to be asked questions, I just enjoy it.

I also like answering questions about myself, but only light ones that aren't personal. Even then, I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I do with the previous topics.

I like to ask questions, as well. I'm a pretty curious gal, but at the same time, I'm cautious with my questions--I don't want to seem pushy or intruding, even it's just about someone's character. I know there are somethings authors and artists prefer to keep secret until the time is right, and I *totally* respect that. I'm the same way! (Though I still have a bit of difficulty keeping it secret from *everyone*). But I feel Im a bit too cautious, mainly because I don't want to anger the person or annoy them. Even with my friends who have a pretty rational temper, I still get nervous. I think another part of it is that I try to ask unusual questions, but I don't want the person I look up to think I'm weird--and not in a good way.

Anyways, just wanted to get that off my chest. For those of you that have, thank you for taking the time to read my rambling, even when you could be doing something else.

Lots of love,
