It seems I do. Quite a shock. I've never been any good at keeping blogs or diaries because...
a) I can't remember half of the things I've done.
b) half of the things I do are either insignificant or best left unexplored by a mainstream audience.
I can, however, sum up what's been happening during the past few years.
I've been drawing, most of the time. I realized I should work out, so I did some exercising and started paying attention to a proper diet. I'm taking it slow and I occasionally eat sweets and junk food, but I've lost ten kilos during the last year, which is quite a lot for a short person like me.
Back in September I came in fourth in a very big national comic drawing contest and my comic made an appearance in the biggest tabloid in Finland. Also, for the first time in my life I'm actually getting paid for illustrating a real book. Although I'm still trying to find my niche in this dog-eat-dog world, nowadays I'm actually getting paid for the freelancing work I do.
I've been playing some games, reading books and watching good movies and that sort of stuff. I mean, who hasn't? These things indicate that despite having occasional illusions of being a unique snowflake, I'm actually quite an ordinary person, and if you still happen to be reading this entry for some bizarre reason or another, I apologize for utterly wasting your time.
