Have a nice night, then. o_o
About the critters: usually I run into them and just... pick them up before they scramble away. You gotta be quick if it's a frog, or something. If there are lizards in your area, you have to be like, wicked speedy for those guys. Snakes, you can look under wood or pretty much anything and just grab them. They'll pee on you though, and it's horribly stinky. You have to wash it off like, five times before it starts to let up. x_x
For reading, I'm mostly into Stephen King stuff. My drawing isn't very good, but it's not horrible. No sense of anatomy for the most part, but I draw cartoons, anyway. So it's more about the jokes than the art. I can't draw ponies! Tried so many times, and my hands don't want to cooperate! It's terrible. D: I'd be happy to give you some tips if you show me some drawings. They may be some mediocre tips, I warn you.
Thanks for a warm welcome!
Oh, you are? Well, welcome then! ^^ I don't really have a favorite- I'm torn between Fluttershy and Rarity. >< I wish I could draw ponies. ;~;
