I want to have it known, I approve of that t-shirt. Also, for some reason I always expect you to have dark brown hair, and I don't know why. Maybe it's your Mighty Boosh icon that has crept upon my consciousness.
Guilty pleasures... I think the biggest one, that is kind of silly, but not actually guilty, is the way I keep talking to myself all the time. Okay, so everybody does that, but I do this thing where whenever I'm alone I act out scenes from stories I'm planning or whatever -- sometimes I'll sit down for an interview, other times I'm, like, having a chat with Gerard Way or something, whatever -- but it's kind of like the playacting you used to do as a kid. Except in English. And it involves a lot more adult concepts. It really helps developing dialogue, though, and voices of different people, not to mention I can get as melodramatic and stupid as I can be, before I even think about putting the scene on paper.
Guilty, because I can't explain it without sounding insane, and for a moment I forget I'm me, and my characters can use my voice for whatever they want.
