I’m a blogging machine!

LOOK AT ME GO!!! I’ve been the best blogger EVER and I owe it all to you. My adoring fans. Haha. So I really have nothing to report today except I totally understood almost everything in my drawing class on Monday night and I’m excited. I understood how to draw a staircase from two point perspective, I totally finished my homework, and I can totally cut a piece of paper out the size of my shoe. I did have issues with drawing a staircase in one point perspective but luckily I have a couple friends who always repeat to me what our teacher tells us five minutes earlier. Hee. I’m sure that was really exciting to read. Soooo I really like my girls night friends. They’re awesome. That’s all. This weekend I think we are going to go the gallery stroll and then afterwards have a funeral for alias. Poor Poor Alias.. Has anyone been watching this season? So far not so good. So I need help. You see my “links” section? Yes. It needs help. Does anyone have any good ideas on what websites I should link to? Do any of you have websites? Let me know in the comments section! I was thinking about adding this site… but I don’t think I will. Well kiddos I think I’m a little too scatter brained to be blogging so I am going to end it now.. But You all have a good’un!

Happy Anniversary

As you can see I put pictures up again! (see here and here for past photo postings) The boy and girl are myself and my little brother Mikey just screwing around one night with a camera. Good times. Anyways I didn’t go to work today, and I am the biggest slacker ever. Last night I had a minor breakdown due to the fact that I can’t draw so my mom made me stay home. Yes. I’m 20 years old and my mommy had to call in sick for me today. Ugh. I have to say, the day off has been really nice, I have gotten a lot done, even it wasn’t work or school related. I am supposed to be writing a paper right now on 3rd world poverty. I think it should be pretty interesting. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it or not, but lately I’ve been considering joining something like http://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/ the only thing is I don’t know how I would afford it. I talked to a counselor or something and she said that I could probably qualify for grants of some sort. I dunno, I just think it would be really cool. Lately I feel like I need to do something more with my life then just work, go to school, socialize etc. I know it sounds kind of cliche but I want my life to mean something. Anyways, onto more superficial items- I have again concluded that I will remain single for time and all eternity. Over the weekend I was hit on by a man missing half his teeth and a naked woman tattooed on his arm. Oh how I attract the winners. Oh well as long as I have girls night everything will be fantastic. hee. Speaking of girls night I have officially decided to be sally for Halloween. I bought fabric for my costume last week, hopefully I will have enough time to make my costume. I’m excited about it. So today’s October 17th. I still can’t believe its been a year since my dad passed away. Its just crazy to me. I went to the cemetery yesterday to pay my respects, and for the first time ever, I cried. It was weird. Dude.. My blogs are depressing lately. Sorry about that! (Don’t cry M!)Well kiddies I better get back to my homework, but I’ll post later! Have a good’un!

Okay.. Here’s the photo of the day?

This is my little brother and myself..

October already?

Dude. Its hard to work full time, go to school almost full time, and maintain a website that almost nobody reads. Now that Elder Smith is on his way to Peru, I don’t know if anyone will read this anymore hee hee. Well a lot is going on so I thought I would take some time to post to you about it. (whoever you are) My classes are going really well, I have made a lot of new friends which is really awesome. Almost everybody in the art department is really REALLY nice (with the exception of stupid suck up boy who I spend too much time hating..) The actual curriculum is really frustrating though. I am awful, I mean AWFUL at drawing. I would hate my drawing class and probably never go if not for a few students and a really cool teacher. However, I find myself going to school more to socialize then to actually learn which probably isn’t good. My 3-d Class is also pretty challenging to me, I just don’t ever seem to have enough time to do my homework well and its frustrating. This weekend though I’m going to make a gigantic sphere made out of sheet metal.. It should be fun. Or disastrous.. I guess we’ll see what happens. I always feel like I do a pretty decent jobs on my projects in that class but when it comes time to critique I always leave wanting to change my major from Art to something like sociology. Its actually been a hot topic in my mind lately, changing my major that is, while I love art, I don’t feel like an “Artist” but I think that its due largely to the fact that I have never taken any sort of art classes aside from photo before this semester. I’m trying to keep a good attitude about things, but its hard. Also, I have a really hard time asking for help, because I feel like I am so much worse than EVERYONE in my classes, especially in drawing. Anyways.. Other things are going on besides school. The girls night group (which includes the fine females from twolooseteeth) are having a Halloween Party and its gonna be rockin’! We had our first official meeting last night to start planning it. I haven’t decided what I want to be yet though. I’m thinking I want to be Sally from the nightmare before Christmas, but I don’t know. I JUST DON’T KNOW. I will probably end up being a UPS Store employee or a punk rock princess or something lame like that. BUT MAYBE I will get a wig. Because we all know wigs are fun. Hmmm What else is going on? Oh I had the pleasure to see Mister Trent Reznor in concert last week. It was pretty good. I have to say I will always love Maynard James Keenan more though. The concert was a lot of fun. There were many an interesting hair style and costume, which was very entertaining. Queens of the Stone Age opened which was really cool except the lead singer kept saying “your mom” jokes, but he was serious. Dude. Nobody should seriously say “your mom” jokes, Especially if you’re a white front man of a rock and roll group. I’m just sayin… SO ANYWAYS- Its October. And Monday is October 17th. Crazy. Part of me can’t believe its only been a year, while the other part thinks its been so much longer. SO MUCH has happened in this past year. I know I have changed a lot and I hope that it is all for the better. Ironically I am happier now than I have ever been in my life. I think that comes when you lose so much though. You kind of get the attitude of “well it’s been worse and I survived that.” If that makes sense. I still miss my dad a lot. He loved Halloween. Every year at the beginning of the Halloween season he would take us to the grocery store and buy like 10 bags of Halloween candy. It was the COOLEST ever, especially when you’re twelve and not worrying about your waistline . He would also always buy my mom a new Halloween Decoration. My dad didn’t really like candy that much. But he loved doing things for us to make us happy. Even last year when we were cleaning out his apartment he had our big crystal bowl, full of candy, even though we weren’t there to eat it. Its weird how something can happen so fast and change your life forever. Since his passing away I’ve decided that I don’t want to have close relationships with people who drink or use drugs. (regularly) I’ve ended two really important friendships this year because of it and its been really hard, but I think that it was the right thing to do. I’ve been thinking about this decision a lot lately… I dunno. I know people don’t understand why I feel the way I do, But this is what I do know. Every person I have ever known to be involved w/ drugs and alcohol its ruined their life, which consequently has taken a toll on mine. So I guess I’m just selfish in not wanting to be close to users, but it is so hard for me to deal with. And if people don’t understand that, I guess they don’t. I really miss my friends though. Anyways.. I better get back to work.. So have a good’un
