working on a really cute little ink and watercolour (ok right there. i spelt color with a u. you know how long ive done that? i can trace that back to a spelling test when i was little. i dont know where i learned that spelling but ive always used it!) project to get myself working on a few other mediums than paint and pencil. well.. that is paint.. but ive been using so much acrylic that i need to branch out. and i also plan to something in pastel but in mot (hahaha typo! im not going to change that cuz i think it is cute :3 it was meant to be im not if you didnt already know) sure what to do!? maybe a landscape? im horrid at landscapes. something cartoony? i was going to d othe vintage pooh bear project in pastel but since it was originally done in ink and watercolour (at least as far as i can tell, but im only guessing) so i need something else that would make sencse in watercolour. maybe like a seascape, or an underwater thing? maybe like a fantasy.. shit the whole time i was talknig about pastels i was imagining watercolours! uuugh. all i can imagine is like a cherryblossom tree. i say like too much X(. im not so great at trees as you may have seen in the 2 paintings i did of silhouettes of harry and the crew. i thought about painting over those.. but what could i do with a black background?

well im going to get back to work on my pooh work (guess whats in this one? A RABBIT go figure.




side note, ive been working out a lot lately, and when i say working out i mean rollerblading. which is still working out, it is just not as much work. but an average of like 3-4 miles a day! thats pretty good! except that my average is more like 4-6!! (the loop around kasson-mantorville is rumored to be 6 miles.. and ive done that almost every day this week or else we just roam around kasson)

if you cant read it it asks if this is the guy that we saw walking around roy wilking auditorium. remember that? we saw him walking around and he was in one of the opening bands. i am 99% sure this is him.

so it has been a while! i got some banging new headphones! :D they are so sexy!just listening to some music, reading other blogs. looking for good quotes. here are a few i like just cuz:


"Color my life with the chaos of trouble" from the song "boy with the arab strap" by belle and sebastian. it was used in (500) days of summer as summers senior quote in her yearbook. thats sort of what i was looknig for, but

one of my all time favorite quotes:

"youre just as sane as i am" ~luna lovegood.



listening to alot of music for quotes. but that requires actually listening and like.. analizing the words for a good quote, you know? and im also looking stuff up.

oh and if you are looking for a good radio station 89.3 the current is awesome. thats where i get alot of my music. i listen to it online all the time.


http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/

right now im listening to the jeremy messersmith thing on the current :) i love it. i want a flugelhorn.

i guess life has been pretty mellow lately. not much is really going on. i go back to school in.. a week or so? yeah sept. 8. senior year!! :D i am really excited for college! on tuesday i tour 2 colleges, alexandria tech or something, it has a really nice 2 year art program that is supposed to be really good. and st. cloud state university. im really thinking st. cloud is the place for me. i dunno. it seems comfortable? farmilliar? i guess maybe cuz my brother is going there. and i know people there. they also have a nice art program.


thats just about it! going to work with some new mediums seeing as paint is getting a bit old, and i need a wider range of skills. im thinking pastels. but eh, we will see. i have to bring a few pieces to the alexandria visit. havent decided yet. a little nervous. D:

akajfbghjk;fhgk3

ahh! daily booth! ~ check it out! i love talking to people that i dont really know! (that sounds really bad D:) sometimes i feel like a major creeper, but dailybooth is just a place where you can strike up a convo with someone, and they are happy to talk! at least thats how i feel so far!!


pulled an all nighter, it is 6:30 in the morning, im going for a lap around the town's bike path on my rollerblades :D see you soon.

6 miles of awesomeness? or 6 miles of hell?

(hell)

(with a little bit of awesomeness sprinkeled about)


the number 1 thing about daily booth is the british people <3 scratch that. the culture in general :) loving my choice to join daily booth.

the owl one...... D: not a bigfan of it! but that is why i am practicing!


the pool closed today :/ sad. and alot of my fellow employees wont be returning :( sad, but whoop whoop for more hours next summer!!!


so i was thinking about other countries and how people dont call things the same thing even in countries thatspeek the same language. and i always hear words like jumper, is that the same thing as like a dress that little girls usually wear? cuz it kinda seems like it could be the same thing as sweatshirt? any explination?

and i want to know some other slang!!!! like just what are some words you use?

examples:

-do you call a toaster a toaster (thing that turns bread into toast haha if you didnt know what i was talknig about hahahaha this amuses me (: hehe)

-movies? cuz i remember that one disney channel movie where they called movies something else? but i think that girl was from africa, even though she was white.. i bet i sound like the BIGGEST LOSER EVER!

-lamp?

-book?

-Poster?

-stuffed animals?

(im just looking around my room...

-coffee maker?

-stove?

-pencil sharpener?

-notebook?

-bulletin board?

-magnets?

culture amazes me so much (mainly britain, ireland, and like all the cool awesome amazing places across the pond!!) i want to go there sooooo bad!

so if you know of any slang terms for ^those and anything else, or just throw out some common words or utencils or something? i dunno.

one thing i have heard about is cuz, i guess cos is commonly used. and mum :) reminds me of ronald weasley talking about molly :) warms my little heart <333333

(i am obsessed with daily booth, i dont know if im supposed to only take 1 pic a day, but i take like 4 a day, im sure ill settle down once i get used to it, but i just do so much it is hard to narrow it down to 1!!!!!!)


(it is up to you beccychan to fill me in on everything amazing about your culture)

:)
:3
<3

forgive the mess coming up right here



the few people i trusted, that i actually cared about have.. well i have other things i want to waste my time thinking about.

i guess it just sucks. the reason i freaked out was cuz i cared about these people! i dont trust alot of people. i dont tell peolpe things unless i really trust them. i was comfortable with having a small group of friends. after years of trying to be friends with everyone, i found a small group of people id much rather be wih. we are so much alike. but not even some similarities can keep people together. i honestly dont care about being alone this year. i am done with trusting people. the one person i trust is eden. she knows everything about me, and i honestly trust her with everything i own. maybe my problem is i put too much heart into my friendships. i just regret spending all my time chasing people who in the end turned out to only blame me. at least i admitted my faults. i didnt even want them to admit their faults. i just wanted to be included. and what do i get? sarcastic remarks about wanting to know everything. no. thats not what i asked. i just asked to be invited. to feel included. i wasnt. and no, i didnt invite them anywhere. imsorry but you guys are always together. even if you dont think you are doing anything you are at least together. but i guess i dont get invited. well you had to invite eachother? i dont really get it... ugh. this is like a relative died or something. but i am the only one that cares! god! everything i say is just fodder for sarcasm! i care too much. i loved you guys. you were like siblings. except i told you more. is friendship only something deep to me? i dont understand why i am the only one who seems to be effected by this? maybe im just being emotional? maybe im just caring? maybe im just full of myself? but im the one who cared about you guys. dont lie to yourself and say you cared. you didnt. i wish you would have. no one texted me, called, tweeted @me for a fucking week straight. i feel like bianca on 10 things, trying to be chastity's best friend. and in my defence, i did that to see if anyone would text me or call, or care. im done. and im embarrassed that ive spent this long writing about it like a little girl. this wont be published, in fact this will probably be deleted. i feel really fucking stupid, and sad. i could cry. but im gonna go solo this year. i wish eden would come to k-m this year :( ill work on my art more. and ill take some tuesdays and thursdays off to spend with eden. and ill save up to go to the brand new/manchester orchestra and regina spektor concerts by myself. i hope lindsey does go. bah she is probably reading this :P i always forget that someone actually reads this :) hehe, hi :) im looking forward to going, especially if lindsey goes, cuz she is super awesome. ill spend lunch in the art room i think. doing extra work (artwork that is). i know i may be a drama king. but im not going to get involved with that, cuz ill just have eden, and.. come to think of it, we have never gotten in a fight. we have those times where im a dumb ass who doesnt stay in touch, but she forgives me. and i know she trusts me. and she tells me a lot (i dont know if there is anything she doesnt tell me..) :) i take friendship very seriously, but when you do that, you end up with people like eden :) ugh. i know i can do this. ugh im so cheesy :)

i strongly believe in the power of karma. if i looked how i acted, id be a priest.


not that im perfect. mistakes are for everyone.

ok im done being a fool. i have to remember to delete this post.

the first in a series of 6.

not that i have the series planned out.. i just have this one, plus 5 more blank canvases hehe :)

it isnt finished completely, im adding words to the left of the rabbit. i already know what it is going to say, but i have to print something off, and it is almost 3 am, and i am not going to wake anyone in my house up! so i will post that later.

i have already posted this on facebook, so it shouldnt be anything new. just working on painting,cuz it is my weak point. but i am fairly proud of this one, but by the end of my "canvas challenge" im sure this one will be lacking in compairison.

yeah. so i have another long blog planned, its going to bereally fun,i think, so look forward to that, and also 5 more paintings, and this one when it is finished!


on another note, im in a really big fight with sara and krysta.. so i dunno i guess i sorta did this to take my mind off of everything, but... i dunno, i guess ill talk more about that later. :(it sucks though.

so ive been drawing alot lately, and what i have really been working on is bodies, as in full bodies. usually i will draw a head, torso, arms and maybe some leg, but usually i wont fully finish a body, because i like the face too much to ruin it by drawing on a bad pair of hands. but i have been practicing a lot and getting far more comfortable, and better at full bodies. oh and it isnt realism. i am awful at realistic people, they always look like really bad cartoons. so i stick with cartoon-ish people.

i also have been really obsessed with drawing really stareotypical cartoon-ified animals. i will probaboy post a bunch of stuff on deviant art soon. i have so much free time, that i will be able to get out my tablet and work on photoshop. it has been so long since ive photoshopped anything. probably cuz i dont like how any of it comes out.

ill post more later.

so ive been writing a lot lately, in fact i have a few stories in the making, some are just ideas, others i have actually started writing. now im not really sure what im doing with these stories, because i always come up with (what i think are) good ideas for books, but i write them so fast and short that they are almost too short to be short stories. ive been trying to extend the stories ive been writing, and write more, and in more detail, but it seems like the longest it goes is about 10 pages.

so the real reason i am writing this blog is to talk about this story that (i think)is really interesting. so it chronicles this kid who lives his life, but he imagines these crazy things happening, like sharks in the pool. and (what i think) the cool thing about it is it is writen so that you arent told that it is his imagination, it is just written as if it is happening, or as if it is a real occurence. i just found this idea to be so fresh and interesting. it is diffrent from anything ive ever read.

i was just swimming at work when i thought of this idea, from my own imagination. haha so far, what ive written is almost a true story. maybe ill post it.. idk. it isnt very long, only a page, but i feel like i could keep writing this character, and it could reach the length of a book.. i dunno. keeps me busy i guess.

the music i like is about the beat. thats what music is. the words come second to me. i guess it is diffrent for each artist, like lily allen, i love her upbeat tunes, thats why i love her, and her words dont really mean as much as the feel good rythmn. jeremy messersmith, and bob dylan, on the other hand, are 2 artists that really get me with their words. it is very deep, having many meanings, and the music sorta seconds it. it fits the mood that the words portray, and it fits. kate nash, much like lily allen, is about the beat, but it is also about the words, cuz they are so personal, they really show who she is, and so does her music, thats why i like her so much, she is genuine. the decemberists really impress me with the stories they not only tell in a song, but with an album, it is beautifully laced together in a tapestry of beautiful music. death cab for cutie at first got me with the sound, but looking deeper, and listening to the words brings out so much more in their music. regina is another one of those amazing artists that harnesses not only the words, but the rythmn, and beat. what really draws me to music is not the words but the sound, cuz that is primarily what music is. words can take so many other forms, but music takes one, thats why i am initially drawn to the beat, not what the artist is saying. but if i am intrigued, i take a closer look.

so i have a huge list of blogs i really want to do, but am nevre in the mood for, and i want to be in the mood or i will rush it and they will all be bad. but im in a really bad mood right now, so im just gonna vent a little.

so i am told by a lot of people that i hate a lot of people. and yeah that is probably true, but i am a very posotive person. i only hate people for a good reason. and i dont go around on facebook and judge every person who has ever posted anything, cuz i know what it is like to be the one being commented on, and i want good karma on my side, so id much rather dislike people for doing rude things to me than dislike them cuz their senior pictures were cheesy.

and yeah i love harry fucking potter.
