More Truthy Goodness
Sep. 21st, 2006 09:24 pmMore drawings will be appearing this weekend, with any luck, but for now, further proof:
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!'
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass), or who had no glass at all, because they were at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.The Truth, pg 25 (UK BCE)

Date: 2006-09-23 11:20 pm (UTC)I hope you don't mind that this is off topic, but I liked your picture on artpad.com, so I colored it, but the link didn't work . I actually did WAAAY better coloring on that thing than I thought I would. But it took forever! So I decided to complain. I'm leaving now, don't worry.

OK, but are they nice at least ?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-28 08:18 am (UTC)I'd say Carrot is nice. Good character to be. I don't know if an orangutan can be said to be "nice," but the Librarian's a good character, too. I wouldn't mind being the Librarian. He likes music, bananas, and preventing people from checking out books.
(Sorry, this is not my journal, but I saw your comment and, being a fan of Discworld, decided to respond.)
Could you provide a link to this Discworld test (if Tealin doesn't mind, seeing as this is her journal)?

Date: 2006-09-28 08:53 am (UTC)Now I remember there was a question about bananas, but I LOATHE bananas, so I must have other "librarian answers".
So sorry, but I can't find the link ! I did an other test though, but it's not very good I think... But it's the only one I re-found ("re-found", is it correct ?!) :
quizilla.com/users/anaemus/quizzes/What%20Discworld%20Character%20are%20you%3F%20(FINSIHED!!!)/
According to this test I'm Rincewind (...?).

Date: 2006-09-28 02:03 pm (UTC)Rincewind is the most inept wizard in Discworld. I think you were better off as Carrot or the Librarian. :)

Date: 2006-09-28 02:41 pm (UTC)I said it wasn't a really good test this one... ;)
no subject
Date: 2006-09-28 03:57 pm (UTC)As for this quiz, I think I did it a while back ... try checking things under the 'discworld' tag. I'm pretty sure I scored as the Librarian, too. I've yet to find a really comprehensive and/or objective Discworld character test online ... is this because there are simply too many characters? Or because the crowd who usually develops these online tests is not the primary Discworld audience, being much more likely to write quizzes along the lines of 'Which Harry Potter/PotC "Ship" are you?'

Date: 2006-09-28 04:42 pm (UTC)As for the stupid tests, I agree. I'm either Dumbledore or Cho ! Or I like the pairing Harry/Draco !
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa !
I don't think so.

Lol anyway.

Date: 2006-09-30 05:59 am (UTC)I'm a big fan of Potter and Discworld and, incidentally, your artwork. Checking your site, I saw you had a LJ, so I decided I'd add you.
I was shocked to see this quote as the first thing on your page. I had the same quote in my AIM profile for months.

Date: 2006-09-30 03:58 pm (UTC)I saw a poster today for what looked suspiciously like the next in the Wee Free Men series... hmmmmm... but unfortunately I can't remember what it was called. Anyway, I may be very mistaken.
Also, <3 your artwork, it was your Harry Potter art that found me this site.
