Haha I've actually had your profile bookmarked on Firefox since I first saw it, it's the sort of thing I hope to achieve one day XD. I'd like to get more involved in the art gallery section of the forums, but I fear if I do I will just be dying with jealousy every time I click on a thread haha
And I don't blame you re: my blog - they can definitely become tl;drs, but I do try to make them interesting enough that people don't notice that :P
