And so it begins...

Mon Jul 11, 2005, 8:23 PM

It's a little after 5am, nothing unusual for me to still be awake at this time. My bed beckons, and I have no idea why my partner puts up with my terrible sleep patterns. At least the furry ones have company during their nocturnal activities.

What brings me to deviantART ? I found some work by someone I have always had a lot of respect for. I couldn't see any way to contact him without becoming a member of the site, so I signed up. Now I'm trying to figure out what you say to someone when you haven't had any communication for 5+ years.

I'm inspired. For the first time in a little over a year, I am truly inspired. I am no artist, but I know how to use a camera, and I have a basic grasp of Photoshop. I think I will put the next chunk of spare time that presents itself to good use, and create something to display for all to see.

Hey Reefie,
thanks for the

s, and welcome to dA!

Got to say I'm intrigued now, wondering who you are and who you haven't been in touch with for five? I think you should just introduce yourself and ask "hi - remember me?" Should get the ball rolling.

You do sound sort of familiar - but then when I think about it, the only insomniac doper with a camera, a penchant for Dan Simmons, and an inate capacity for losing touch with old friends that I know is . . . well . . . ME!
(God's horns, it's surely not gotten THAT bad?!)

Good luck with the inspiration - look forward to seeing what comes of it. I've just blagged a little free time too - torn between doing something creative myself, or checking out the 896 submissions made here by artists on my watchlist since I last visited about a month ago. <sigh>
As soon as I've worked out which actually represents the path of least resistance, I'll be doing that (to distract me from thinking about everything else going to the dogs!)

This incoherent ramble was brought to you by the letters M & X, the number 23, the movie "The Machinist" and the medication Prozac - todays theme was "Hello" sung by Lionel Ritchie.

Welcome Reefie, and thanks for the fav. Nice to see another Brit knocking about.

As for your dilemma, 5+ years is a long time if you are under 25...kind of pales into insignificance as you get older

Can't be much more help as I don't know if you are m, f, gay, straight or hobbit? but if you were ever friendly, then I don't see any problem in reintroducing yourself. I have always been better at rolling blunts than psycholgy
