School Chicks and Art
School is so great this semester! Most of my classes are easy, or at least have easy textbooks, and studying or homework is not relentless, and the tests don't all coincide. Its amazing! The math class I thought was going to be reeeeeeeally hard is only realy hard, but is balanced by being equally interesting, and the physics class that was supposed to be off the chain hard, so far is pretty easy to folow and the prof. doesnt ask a lot out of us (We derived why and how E=mc squared the other day. It only took like 10 minutes, and was super simple. Now thats cool!) so it's at least as cool as it is interesting too. My film and video class is a lot more work than I thought it was going to be, but like EVERYONE in there is kickass, including the teacher, and the projects are fun. So school is both easy and cool this semester, a winning pair!

On the downside, I met a lot of chicks, and I had a class with this super cool girl I've known for a while, but none of them want to go out with me, or at least already have boyfriends. Oh well, looks like I'll be buying myself a box of chocolates this 14th. No biggie though, at least Michael will keep me company in that regard. A relationship would really kind of muck up the life I've become accustomed to now anyway though (time-free and care-free, I call it "O'Kelly 101"), but there are more than a few times when I wouldn't mind just cuddling with someone and watching a movie together, or at the very least, having a serious conversation with someone. Sometimes I wish I could just go to a girl and be like 'hey, I don't want to touch your girl parts or anything, but you're super-cool, and you're also lonely, so let's just cuddle up and watch Shaun of the Dead or something,' but somehow, as inocent as my intentions may be, I suppose there's no way that can sound not creepy. Le Sigh.

I've been drawing a lot though! I drew this pretty cool picture of Dead Redd and Clarence in a delorean, just out of nowhere and for fun. Right now Michael's helping me put together a deviant art account, but it's hard because the only things I've drawn since I was in highschool mostly went to my gfs. I don't want to put stuff online that I drew 4 years ago! So instead, I'm trying to draw a million things to all upload. The more I cruise Deviant Art too, the more that scary little guy inside of me tries to convince me that I can still go to art school in a year. Every time I see someone's art-desk or animator desk, or pictures of an animation studio, or test animation and character designs for tv shows being made right now, my heart skips a beat. I'm not as good as them, but I think I have every bit as much potential, if not more, than a lot of them had. I want to be a part of it!
One thing I'm doing is pushing hard to become an editorial artist for out school paper. They need a cartoonist and an illustrator. Michael called dibs on the cartoonist, since he found the add, but I read a few editorials and drew up some comics far better than the ones we had had, and sent it in with an illustration resume. Hopefully we'll get the job! We made a pact to give them a new comic EVERY DAY until we at least hear back from them. That at least will show how dedicated, and potentially responsible and disciplined we can be ... (with deadlines anyway, heh heh). So hopefully some of this 'artsey' on-the-job-experinece will make me look at least a little less like a total loser walking into art school with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics someday. Maybe. If nothing else, it'll get the old hand drawin' comics again.
