capri0mniThe truth is, as I've been reexamining my relationship to ASL and my tenuous connections to D/deaf acquaintances from the past,* it just feels off kilter to have my journal so music-and-phonocentric. So I'm in the process of coming up with something new.
For those who view everything in your own style, this is a miniaturized screengrab of what I have up on my LiveJournal page, now:
Also, what with the cartooning I've been doing lately, I've discovered that I'm quite fond of black and white. I'm thinking of drawing some new black and white line art for a wallpaper/background design for this page (up until recently, the background for my LJ was a musical score for the song "Vive La Compagnie!" with green and yellow swoopy stripes) -- ferns and vines, that sort of thing. And making a new black and white icon... maybe from one of my monster pictures (I've got several -- I like monsters).
As you can see, I'm stumped for a title (feedback would be welcome). Options running through my head are:
Sticking with "Witty, Meaningful Title (clever subtitle)" or
"Odd Bodikins (and weird wonders)" or
"Gregarious Hermit" or
"Into the Forest (Where the Silly Things Are)" or
"Life is Just a Bowl of Queries"
*(for a whole host of reasons, that I've touched on before, not the least of which, my mother died just as I was studying for my midterm in my first semester of ASL at university... So that was a very intense time for me, emotionally. And the funny thing is, ASL class was where I felt most calm and at peace... maybe spending focused time, thinking in an entirely different language, gave me a break from the relentless, terrified, voices in my head... I dunno; It was during this time that I realized how stronglyour my adrynal gland was tied to auditory imput...)
