Um, I'm not quite positive this is what you do for the meme, but here you go:

Oh, my dear, dear seme friend. You should know by now that I love you to death and I'm sorry that I don't update enough or flickr enough or whatnot, but I WILL TRY TO DO SO... XD; And I love all the times we have together, especially the jokes at lunch and outside school and at birthday parties and photoshoots and just hanging out. I always regret not having more classes with you (or any at all), but since I am so damn stubborn I refuse to quit orchestra. XD Anyways, you make my life a lot easier to live in, and even when I accidentally hurt you I really don't mean to. You're a talented and cracky friend that I wouldn't be the same without. :)

Anyways, about the art thing- I understand what you mean by 'just providing guidelines and not actually teaching you anything'. >OOOO When I used to take art lessons, all my teacher would do was erase whatever I had drawn and redraw it for me. Which doesn't really help at all. They don't actually..... TEACH you anything. They just... sort of... push you to draw and hope for the best. >.>

And about your parents, I don't really know. At my old teacher (yes, I keep referring to them, but only because that's the only teacher I've ever had), I would draw still life for 4 out of the 5 weeks each month, and one week each month I would be allowed to draw and color an anime pic. :O Maybe that kind of compromise will work?

I think you understand best what I'm talking about. :\ This... Asian standard we're held to. Idk. I want to be at least decent but learning from you guys sort of intimidates me. It's most likely my damn pride. It hurts me to admit it but I guess it's good that I can, at least. Ahahaha.

But yeah. My parents just need to get rid of their prejudice. :\

Do you think I sound like an overpriveleged brat?

[dragonphoenix77]

Yeah, I get it. :O Because I can't draw. And whenever people are in a group project with me, they automatically expect me to be the artist. And thus I waste my time on weekends trying to perfect a piece of art that my group will be satisfied with, all in the name of being Asian. It sucks.

My parents just need to let me GET lessons again. >.>;

Um, no. You know, I am sure that every single other Asian feels the pressure you do. And it may not be in art- it could be in piano or violin, or grades and honors, or maybe even their appearance. No one's perfect- so everyone will have something they wish they had. They only see their faults, the things they lack; rather, they should be seeing the things they have and not that which they do not.

....You know, I'm going to go and write an essay on this one. I would keep going here, but then I'd be forced to organize it into paragraphs. XD;

[consequences]

PSH. XD IF YOU CAN'T DRAW I SHOULD SUICIDE. :) But you don't have to make it perfect, Tiff, you can let some things go. Well, that's just me. You actually believe them when they tell you to do your best. What best? Have they earned 'your best'? That's why I don't try.

>.> You're so tied up Tiff. I seriously think swim is going to be the downfall of your time. -squishes- ;_;

XDDDDDDDDD EXCELLENT. maxdis. :) But I mean, yeah. I feel like I'm going nowhere, having no fun, and if my parents care enough to give me lessons, can't you let me have some damn fun? Idk. I'll try your approach, animanga ___ times for every ___ phucking realisim.

[dragonphoenix77]

>.> I am NOT that good. Trust me. And anyways, it's more like I don't want to make something so crappy that it'd be something THEY could do. Because if THEY could do it, then what would be the purpose of me drawing?

Well, currently piano is kind of tying up my time. -sigh- Swimming is okay. I need to swim. I feel fat otherwise.

I would. ...Only, I forgot what I was going to say. >.> -frowns- I WANT art lessons. I don't mind still life. JUST GIVE ME LESSONS AGAIN. XD; Well, is that okay with your parents and your teacher?

[consequences]

I see, I see. You want to live up to their expectatinos. I was contradicting myself a little bit there, sorry. alskdflasdf. Conflicting thoughts.

>.> You don't?

...

-d'oh-

[dragonphoenix77]

XD Yes, mostly.

Don't what?
