063: Musings

[livingmyths]

I didn't eat any of those candy hearts yesterday and after seeing what happened on the Network I'm glad. I wouldn't really want to accidentally find out people's secrets. If they want me to know, that's fine, but not that way.

I do wonder now, though, if anyone got a secret about me. I don't think I really have many. There isn't much really only one thing that I wouldn't tell people if they asked me.

Tony? How are you? I've been thinking about you and hoping you're doing all right.

Mat? I have kind of a silly question for you later if you're around.

Oooh! And I'll be 23 soon. Doesn't that sound like a really nice number?

I'm okay, been busy working and learning to draw.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I always wished I could draw.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

You can always try and learn.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd be any good at much beyond stick figures.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Did you ever make a stick figure cartoon with a book or a pad of paper?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Did I...? No...

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

You should try it. You can make your very own cartoon.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

My own cartoon? By drawing stick figures in a book?

That sounds... odd. But intriguing.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Do you have a pad of paper nearby?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Wait...

Yes, I have one.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Alright, in the corner of it draw a stick figure doing something, like getting ready to jump.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Done.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Now, on the next page, draw the same figure, only a little farther along in their action.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

And so on and so on?

Okay.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Now you got it. And when you're done, thumb through the corner really fast.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay...

...

Oh! That's amazing!

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

I thought you'd like that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do! It's so fun!

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

That's essentially how cartoons are made.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's amazing!
