I've been undertaking the seemingly impossible task of organizing all the schoolwork that I've collected over the years. And OH MY GAWD how I regret setting foot into that back closet and setting my eyes upon those boxes of paper.

I have an uncanny love of paper and it verges on madness. I swear I've kept every single scrap of paper since I was 12. The purging process is nerve-wrecking. Two things keep me from throwing things out: possible usefulness and sentimental value. I keep thinking things like, "What if I need to re-learn how to do long-division? This worksheet will be useful then!" and "When I'm old and wrinkly I will be pleasantly reminded of the days when I used to go to the school library when I come across this note informing me that I have an overdue book!" and other such nonsense.

During this process I've come across countless pages of notes covered with doodles. And I've been thinking how it's even possible that this kind of stuff comes out of one's brain...

Seriously?

Seriously, I miss collaborative doodles.

I love doing remakes of my old drawings. It just affirms that I've actually improved or something like that. And since most of my drawings are of people, every time I draw a character that character becomes more concrete. It's somewhat rewarding seeing my character "grow up." More accurately, I think every time I draw a character that character is reinterpreted by my current mindset.

It's interesting to see how my style has changed through the years. More interesting is seeing what's stuck. The stuff that practically defines my style. I think it's silly that the words that I'd use to define my drawing style can be used to describe me pretty well. It's pretty scary when you really think about it...

So I'm back on the dollie train. ChooChoo~

It's really because I like doing faceups and making accessories and taking pictures. Basically the reason for that is because the turnaround time is so short. Other upload-worthy stuff takes way too much time, and patience is just one of those things...

I think it's the coloring that takes much much too much time. I just don't have the skills to whip 'em out, unfortunately. I wish I did. Perhaps it's a good idea to try some more of that kind of stuff that makes me want to chop off my fingers. Seriously, more than 10 minutes of coloring drives me nuts. But the idea of completing a picture makes me want to try at least. Hopefully I'll still have all my fingers when I'm done.

So, Naruto & Kakashi are stored up in a box like I suspected would happen because there were no serious takers.

They still need a good home. Just let me know if you're interested.

I've kind of lost my passion for dolls.
I knew it was coming.
I really have a hard time keeping any sort of long term interests.
I just get bored of the same old same old.
I'm always looking for the next new thing to obsess over.

So, the time has come...
If anyone is interested in either Naruto or Kakashi...
Just let me know.
The price is definitely negotiable.
If no one wants to give them homes, they're going into a box to be stored with all my other past obsessions.
That would be a sad end...
but I've got to make room for whatever comes next!
