Girls wrestling in Pudding.... for Charity!
I thought it would be a good time to update, seeing that I am in a bit of a writing mood. These are pretty erratic inspirations, but one of the few things I've learned is to just go with them. Usually it's crap, but it is good practice.
First, allow me to update you a bit since it's been a while. I still live on the sexy blue couch. School is going well and there are only three more weeks left of this quarter. Ruben just finished all his classes for this quarter yesterday, which makes me jealous although he doesn't have much time before he's out on the big open highways of America. He's leaving next Wednesday morning. This means I'll have the place all to myself for about three months. I really don't know how I'm going to handle living solo.
Allow me to sidetrack on this for a minute. If you know me well at all, then you know by no means am I an extrovert. BUT, I do enjoy being in the company of good friends. I shared a room with my younger brother up until my freshman year, he was only two years younger than I, so we kept each other company in the Fortress of Solitude. I've always had at least one good friend that I would see many times a week, a 'chosen', if you're familiar with the Chaim Potok book. Whether it be Jeremy, Brad, Colin, or as of late, Ruben, I usually am most comfortable when other people are around. I don't know why, but it's who I am and I recognize that.
So, my mom told me that she's pretty sure I'll just end up going crazy and being miserable. I am known for bouts of melancholy (and the infinite sadness. WHAT!? I had to throw in a good ol' Smashing Pumpkins reference. If I were to ever shave my head again it would probably be because of 1)Billy Corgan and 2)my love of sci-fi and the fact that every decent space/time traveler has one). I don't doubt that I will get lonely, but here's my plan: stay super busy with homework, which won't be hard to do at all. I'm graduating in December and I have a whole portfolio and demo reel to work on. I also might take that internship after all. Plus, the whole Chandon thing will definitely take up a large part of my life, although I've recently started to get a calm about the whole baby thing. Sort of a peace of mind, and dare I say... excitement? Anyway, the forecast is for busy-ness with light showers of loneliness.
I've started to read 'House of Leaves' by Mark Danielewski, on Ruben's recommendation. A good book, if a bit wordy. Half of it is an exhaustive essay on a film that doesn't, to my knowledge, exist. I enjoy the narrator's interjections, it helps pick up the pace and adds a great deal to the story. I'm hoping for more of that.
Well, I've run out of things to say and I sort of lost my train of thought. That's what happens when you go take Top Ramen off the stove. I've got homework to do, all the backgrounds for my 2D studio class need to be re-painted. The girl who was in charge of coloring the artwork really dropped the ball. Basically, the only coloring that was decent was the stuff she did in class as I stood over her shoulder and directed her. Ugh. So now the burden shifts to me, the head background artist. At least this time they'll turn out right.:)
