The Batgirl thing makes me happy. I think that it's a genuine meme, at least as far as I understand the term - someone put up their drawing of the character, at which a few of their friends were inspired to design and draw variant Batgirls, and then some more of their friends thought, "Wow, everyone is drawing Batgirl! I think that I'll draw one, too," and then...

I looked through the whole list on Friday night (I think that this one might be my favourite), and every once in a while I would see someone speaking as though this were a more conventionally premeditated thing - using the word 'contest', or complimenting [livejournal.com profile] himynameisjamie on the idea, just as though this had begun with his sitting down to figure out how to convince everyone on the internet to draw Batgirl. I think that to talk about it this way is really to undervalue how cool a phenomenon it is: it happened organically, and it happened by accident.

I have not drawn as many hiragana as I should have this weekend so far. I need to telephone some people, and then I suppose that I will get to remedying that.

One of the neatest things is how they even feel pretty to write.
