Glyph Awards

[spqrblues]

 
The Glyph Awards ceremony is tonight. If the weather were better, and if I weren't such an incredibly shy recluse, I'd travel to Philadelphia for the fun and to meet other comics people. It would be an excuse to wear my fancy-schmancy designer dress again and to stumble around on my twisted ankle in my especially dramatic high heels.

I've been nominated in the "Rising Star" category and find myself amongst luminaries such as Marguerite Abouet, creator of Aya. Since I'll be home tonight, I will put the time to good use and do much drawing.

I can't help but be all twittery and excited about the Glyphs, either way :)

Good luck.

Thank you. I'll toast the winners this evening, whoever they are :)

You totally deserve an award, but then so does Marguerite Abouet... Good luck !

Thank you! I'm just thrilled to see my name mentioned in the same context as hers.

The later the afternoon gets, the more I wish I could get to Philadelphia. If I had a working car, I would hop in it and go. On the other hand, I can sit here and daydream that I did go, and met an editor who offered me a million... uhm.. euros (dollars being what they are these days) to create 12-book epic graphic novel series about ancient Rome XD

Eew, twisted ankle? How long since you got hurt?

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I think it was exactly one week ago.

Oh... I guess I should see a doctor :P

[amberdulen.livejournal.com]

Go to doctors! Get better! (Brag in the waiting room about your Glyph nomination!!) :)

I'll have to make an "Ask Me About My Glyph Nomination" t-shirt that I can wear even if I have to put on one of those paper robes that open in the back :)

[amberdulen.livejournal.com]

Obviously if there's a chance of paper robes, what you need is an "Ask Me About the Glyphs" tattoo on your back. ;)

"Oh... I guess I should see a doctor :P"

I smack you on the head. Get Thee to a Doctor!!

Suffering builds character? Okay, okay, I have been sufficiently browbeaten :D

I'm so proud and happy for you, amica. And I wish you could be there as well. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and holding good thoughts for you. :D

Nice icon :)

Aw, fooey, I think I should have taken today off so I'd have had time to rent a car or catch the earlier (less expensive) Amtrak train (and would have had time to figure out how to take public transportation from the train station to the event). Tomorrow is the actual comics convention... I could try to get to that, maybe... Or, I could celebrate the nomination tonight by eating an entire pizza tonight and downing a bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade and sleeping it off tomorrow. Because I am just that classy!

[xanath.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I haven't mentioned often enough how much I love that movie. The ending might have been rewritten for Hollywood, but I'm a sucker for fairy tales that end well. :)

And pizza with Mike's Hard Lemonade sounds pretty good. I probably would have picked Jack Daniel's Downhome Punch or something equally sweet and fruity, but MHL would do the trick too. (Actually, now I want some sangria. Or a White Russian.)

However you celebrate the occasion, congratulations!!!!!!

And hugs.

And go get that ankle looked at!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

But, hobbling around is so... sexay? exotic? ridiculous?

I'll make sure I'm in one piece by next weekend :)

[ktempest.livejournal.com]

so instead come over and chill with me? I will award you with something. (dinner, most likely)

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Aw, I just saw your comment.

I've awarded myself a big pizza, garlic rolls, and pyjamas. I'm not actually eating the pyjamas.

Party time for me and the cat!

I hope you win! Because you are the awesome. And I luv you.

Of course, you're also very talented and stuff too.

Kissies.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Aww, shucks. Thank you for the luv and support :)

[kit-the-brave.livejournal.com]

I hope you win! And that you enjoyed the pizza. Mmmm, pizza. :)
