I doodle, sketch, paint, draw, photograph and share the occasional short poem. I also do cut-ups including spam poetry (spamoetry) and clusty search cut-up poems.
My art reflects me I suppose - often humorous, sometimes dark and on occasion practical and technical.
Life
I was diagnosed with CFS in January 2007, but have been ill since mid 2005. It's changed my life.
I love to laugh and I love to love. Creativity is an important part of my being. The internet has saved my sanity - it's my lifeline to the world and to wonderful people.
Come and enjoy Dr Sketchy's Birmingham - Hollywood Babylon - with us on 17th January 2009! We kick off with some fun and mayhem at 3.30 pm at the Victoria pub on John Bright Street in Birmingham city centre.
Hey Rachel, How are you doing? I'm still the same but going in late June to get my cortisol and insulin levels checked. Guess it couldn't hurt to get more tests done, oh joy :P
hi. I'm alive. I'm floating in western space-land and trying to be cool. It isn't easy. But it's ok. I have 51 days until I'm back "home" where I belong, so until then, I'm trying to love all my peeps here as much as I can..because what else can i do?
When no one writes I complain, and when everybody does I can't keep up!! Argh!
I've been so tired lately, and so clumsy... mentally. I see the long messages and I just can't face trying an answer! But then... I love getting messages!!
I think you know what I mean? I wish i could get rid of the mental extenuation, even if the physical stayed! :D
I've forgotten how to breathe. Really. I know it will pass, but this is harder than I could have imagined. And culture shock is not an accurate moniker..
Hey there! I thought I'd get on myspace before I start work...it was one of those nights where I didn't get a wink of sleep!!! My eyes feel like they're glued open like in one of Mr. Beans skits!!! I hope you're doing well and hanging in there ^_^ Hugs to ya
We could have a group on flickr or a collection of sets if we're going to do it on a more regular basis, or we could just post them on our profiles here. What do you think? :) xx
If I don't say anything, remind me of it! With the trial on the 25th I might forget about everything else! It'd be nice. We could just do that systematically every now and then. How're you doing?? Doesn't the song on my profile make you dream?? :)) It does make me. xx
Ouch! Three weeks! I'm sorry to read that. I hope mine doesn't last so long. My mother will have to go to hospital next week for quite a few tests, and if I've got the flu they won't let me be there with her... :(
She's a fighter yes, and a stronger woman than what I'll ever get to be..
I know how boring it is to stay in bed so long, I hope you can get rid of it soon.
I'm sick with the flu. I caught cold yesterday morning when I had to go out early to the employment office. I knew getting so early in the morning wasn't good :P
Thanks for the comment. I try to take things one at a time as they come, and not to worry too much over the court thing, but yesterday my heart skipped more than a beat when I got the call. Right now what worries me the most is my mother's illness. I hope you're a bit better love. Keep warm... xox
Hello Rachel... how is it going? I hope you don't get too stressed these days! I'm just here, having a rough time with my hypotension and being cold all the time, but I'm fine.
