Last night I dreamt that I ate a tiger.
Stolen from Maggie's journal:
1. Do I have a distinct style of drawing?
2. If so, what exactly is it that defines my "style"?
3. Would you say my art usually follows a 'theme'?
4. Is there anything I really need to improve on or change?
5. Does my style (if I have one) remind you of/look like the style of anyone else?
6. Judging from whatever art of mine that you've seen, what do you think I do the best at?
7. What do you think I suck at?
8. Should I do a comic? If so, will people bully me sometimes about it?
This week I watercolored for the first time in almost a year. It turned out swell. I might put it up here, but that means going to the library to scan it, and I'm a little lazy sometimes. The radish I did doesn't count--that was more of a doodle than anything.
I feel oddly zen. Maybe it's that I feel really comfortable with myself at this moment--there's deadlines looming up before me, but I've lived with the monster called "stress" so much for the past few weeks that it doesn't even phase me very much anymore. This summer I'm looking forward to going home, coming back, and cooking like nobody's business. If I can't manage a job then I'll totally cook things for people if they pay me. I'm looking forward to exercising this summer too. I just need to carve out a time for myself to do that.
I wish I could hang out with Maggie and Daniel more without feeling like a third/forth wheel when they're with Karis. I think part of growing up is realizing that my relationship with people will never be the same as the one they have others. I don't have years to hang out with Maggie, I have weeks and days. I don't think I act like an attention hog, but sometimes it's hard not to flail my arms and scream "look at me! Please look at me!"
Now: to laundry!
