Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.

I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.
