Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch should paint your portrait. You are a very emotional person. You are always up for a good talk with one of your friends. You don't like to keep things bottled up. Often, you are friendly and outgoing, but that can change very easily to being introverted and cold.

Its been forever since I wrote anything. This journal is basically futile, everyone who reads it knows me and frequently talks to me... I'm going to write something anyway.
So my horse (Romeo), who was already sick with a nasty cold, got colic on friday, which is the number one cause of death for horses. It was terrible, he was only demonstrating subtle signs. Finally I called the vet, who had to come out late and stick a tube down Romeo's already inflamed throat into his stomach. I had to hold his massive head down for 30 mins and use a twitch on his nose (for distraction), al this was only possible after sedating him three times. After the vet left I was paralyzed with worry that Romeo hadn't recovered and would need surgery, thankfully that was just paranoia. After all that my stomach hurt like hell. And I'm pissed off at the stable owners, who were being insensitive and pushing antibiotics for his cold, which the vet did not recommend, and could potentially cause more stomach upsets. I understand that they are tired of having him in quarintine and the potential that other horses will also catch cold. I already feel bad about that, but damn it, my horse is sick! He could have fucking died, and all they can think about is giving him antibiotics.
I'm trying to begin my drawing assignment, a self-portrait, which has to be completed on massive paper and with messy, messy charcoal. I think its an odd first project, as we haven't even begun figures, but my young teacher is pretty damn scatter-brained, not to mention difficult. He's not mean, but when I asked him if we could use a mirror he said "don't even ask me that", I felt like an idiot. He basically told me last class that I had weak lines and that I needed to "make him believe it"...silly but probably true, drawing isn't my medium. But there is this really interesting girl in my class, who i'm making friends with...
In general I feel a lot more confident and mature this semester, its taken long enough, but in just about every aspect of my existence I'm a late-bloomer. It just takes me forever to progress, hopefully that means that my evolution is long lasting rather than just some fleeting phase, I think it does....
