Hey, guys?  I just want you to know, I'm not talkative.  Not in an online sense.  At all.  That's why I hardly ever "write" in this "journal."  Oh, sometimes I'll get going on outrageous tangents (in fact I can be irritatingly verbose), but when it comes to casual communication, well... I'm often the quiet one.
  The one who watches, and says nothing.
  I only mention this because I don't want you to feel slighted or disrespected when you leave comments on my work and I don't respond.  I wouldn't think this was a problem, but other artists often reply to MY comments, so... perhaps some of you feel it's standard etiquette.  Therefore, if you've complimented me, and I didn't respond directly, I want you to know that it's merely my way, and that you were always in my heart.
  My gooey, blood-filled heart.
