WANTED: a style of drawing that fits my personality

Huuu, haven't posted for a while! (not that anyone ever notices)

As it can be seen from my thicker, returning to uni is less than 2 months away!. Heaven knows I can't wait to start!!!. I just wanna go back to England, I wanna LIVE MY LIFE!. It's a complicated thing, don't try to understand. But basically, when you are living somewhere that is NOT the place where you want to spend the rest of your life, well, at least I don't quite feel like living.

On a brighter, sunnier side, I've been posting lots of doodles on my deviantart account (just follow the My Doodles link on the navigation bar), but the one that I'm most "proud" of, is the one called titled PORN. It's the first time I draw something expressing my true opinions on a particular topic. I know it's not good enough, yet, but I'm getting there. I keep improving, which is what matters. What bothers me, is not that my doodles aren't "perfect, neat looking", like, say, CLAMP's, but the fact that I can't seem to find a STYLE that I feel comfortable with and STICK to it. It must be the hardest bit, finding your style. I spend most of the time looking at other people's work, copying what they do. I know only one thing: it HAS to be FUNNY. So lately, I have turned from "anime" style to a one more "comic", as I consider it funnier. If anyone has suggestions to make, ie: "this style is MUCH better", they will be happily welcomed.

- So, Mary, why aren't you working RIGHT NOW?
*sighs* Well, because I don't seem to be able to muster the strength to make myself work on anything "placement" related. I don't know why. Lack of motivation? Sheer lazyness? Feed-up ness?. Again, if help of any form and color is offered, I will be most delighted to consider it.

Speaking of which, I think I SHOULD get back to writing this... contribution... thing. Oh, help.

Back from Holidays

I can't believe I'm back. It's been so wonderful!. We have been to Cornwell and we have visited lots of nice towns: Penzance, Padstow, Newquay, Oxford. We also went to see Stonehenge, and The Eden Project.
I think this doodle summarizes it nicely!

I HATE WAXING!!!

Humph!

I'm going to England next week and will probably end up in a beach, somewhere. Impending "swimming suit" wearing has forced me to reconsider removing of "bikini-line" hair. Total disaster. Have tried new waxing system consisting of bands with wax on. I have pulled the damn thing from a "not so populated" area a grand total of 3 bloody times!!! The hairs are still there, perhaps sadder than before. My skin is red and BRUISED. Why, why do I have to go against the overwhelmingly powerful force of nature that clearly wants my pubic hair to remain in place?. I have made a decision: I SOLEMNLY SWEAR I WILL NOT EVER TRY AGAIN TO WAX BIKINI LINE FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. Come rain, come shine, come lovely, cute prince charming. I am resolute.

Just for the record, the bands with wax on have worked quite well on legs.
