You're gonna' Pop it!

Today was deceiving... but expected in a way.
                                                     
Yesterday was the start of it all I suppose, what was I thinking? I really don’t know, but at least I was not alone in the event.
Of course yesterday being a Saturday, it was time for park run, to yell at all the runners (in support of course I'm not that evil...) then congratulate them when they finished their 5k run. A good morning in any case, and after hanging out with everyone at the pub for a while, them it was time for what had been making my knee's shake all day.
Running the 5k myself.
Luckily I was not alone, Nicki (Clarky) was there too, both of us running the plan B course to see if it was in fact 5k. The run itself was ok, though I could feel the effects of not doing it for about 4 weeks showing while I was doing it (I also need to remember to drink ALOT before running next, my head was not liking me...neither was the sun). Afterwards I actually felt ok, and was quite proud of myself for doing it (Thanks Clarky!).
Then this morning came.

Nothing was wrong until I got up, then my legs went "Nope, not happening!" and I promptly fell back on my bed. I was quite happy to spend the rest of my day in bed, till mother dearest came up to drag me to the shops with her.
Much to the disappointment of my friends, I promptly went and hid in the Waterstones books shop till mum got the presents she wanted.

However something positive has come from this week... I see running the 5k as a positive too but this is different.

As those who know me will tell you, I tend to draw a lot...and I mean a lot. Right now I'm working on a comic book with just a few of the characters I have come up with over the years, they will all probably get a mention at points in this blog as its something I find really important in my life. The reason I’ve decided to add these guys into my blog entries is because of the tip given to me by a new friend and fellow blogger Nev, she said that the secret to a blog is to start off with what makes you you...and for me that’s a lot of things. Of course the first thing I thought of was drama, but then I thought of everything else, and drawing is something very special to me as I was taught how to draw by some of the most important people in my life, namely my big sister Flash (or Geraldine if you want to go by birth records).

Anyway with the comic that I am drawing I have already come up with around 10 characters, and is still growing. This week that number has grown to 13, with 3 little brain babies jumping from my mind onto the paper. Starting off as 3 small mice that a doodled on some English notes while I was having trouble with an essay plan, they have now grown into 3 strapping young men...who can turn into mice... they make me smile.

I’m going to try and get some pictures of my characters up on here in the near future, I think its good to get feedback on work, but some designs still need tweaking and I’m still new with html stuff.

But fingers crossed!

Hope you are all doing spiffingly!
