I really enjoy your music and blogs, but I just thought you should know….most thirteen year old girls don't draw guys in jackets. Or even guys. Guys are a lot harder to draw, so we kind of avoid drawing them like it's the plague (I'm a thirteen-year-old-girl-with-a-deviant-account, but I can't blame you…..) Sorry for ranting, but I keep hearing that, and it isn't true. feel free to ignore this whole post.

This is almost completely irrelevant to the blog, but I also have a Wacom Tablet :3
It is my first love, and if any guy trys to come between me and it, I shall have to stab my tablet pen in his eye.
Sorry if that sounded remotely creepy.

Tom-
I really just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much. Your music is brilliant, your writing is phenomenal, and your videos are fantastic. So, thank you. Thank you for creating these things and bringing them into public existance. Mostly, though, thank you for helping me. Last year, my life was hell. Just…so difficult to get through. I had very few friends, school was absolutely awful, and my parents and I were fighting constantly, mostly about the aforementioned awful school. Needless to say, i wasn't very happy very often. I hate fights, i hate them, i hate them, i hate them. In most cases, i end up a sad, crying, pathetic wreck, angry at myself and the world around me. Have you ever felt so terrible, in that way that you need something nice to escape to? Something comforting, or distracting, like a book, or a movie, or an album, or the internet? That's what it was like, and your music was my escape. My savior throughout the darkness that was encasing me at the time. Now, here I am, a year later, and things are looking up. They're still not fantastic, I'm still fighting with my parents, and the schoolwork isn't going splendidly, but i've got some good friends. And I've still got your music. I just got into a fight with my parents and, as expected, came out an emotional wreck, even after my dad left the room, i was still crying. So, I played Painfully Mainstream and Awkward Ballads for the Easily-Pleased. And i got better. Sorry about this stupidly long comment going on about my life, but i needed to write it, to distract myself until i was better, and to thank you. I don't think i could have made it this far without you and your music.
<3

Hi. Great blog =)
The arms on your drawing is a bit short, but cool.
I've made my own comic book, called "Gøglermand" (in english conjuror-man) I've made a group for it on Facebook (Gøglermand!) But it's in danish, so I don't know if you can get anything out of it.

I like your music =]

I love Blankets. I didn't put it on the list because it didn't hit me as strongly as a lot of things, but maybe with a few more reads it'll work its way into my heart.

I approve greatly of the fourth sentence of the second paragraph of this blog post.

…and thanks for the reminder on Black Holes! I'd found it in the Neon Monster last summer but never got round to returning with actual paper compensation. grrrr empty pockets
