ART & KITTY!

Jun 12, 2009 17:24

This week was really good. I applied to another (local) art school after I got the rejection letter from Konstfack. And on Monday I got a letter from this school saying I got in! Only 10 out of 60+ got accepted so it makes me feel special. :D *gets a big head* Anyways, this is really, really good news for me! Basically, since I learnt to draw by ( Read more... )

Beautiful stuff! I love the self portrait sketch especially. And congrats on art school!

Thanks Jem!

I've actually kinda itched for a rat from reading so much about your and Cinnamon's relatinship. But it's such a shame that their life span is so short.

Hehe, yeah, she is pretty awesome. But their lifespan is totally not long enough. Cinnamon turns 2 in two weeks, which is getting old for a rat. It's weird thinking about her as being old, since to me she's still my little baby rattie.

I would love a cat, but I'm not at a stable enough point in my life to have one. Plus it seriously reduces the number of places I can live that are close to the city. When I am, I'm going to rescue a deaf white cat though, I've wanted one as long as I can remember.

Are there alot of deaf white cats? :O

Something like 2/3 of all white cats are deaf, and it's even higher probability if they have mismatched eyes. So quite often people will buy them not knowing this and they'll get abused and abandoned because of it.

My aunt had a couple of white cats who were deaf over the time I was growing up, and I bonded really well with both of them. The second one I liked a lot. She was too shy to be around anyone, let alone strangers. But after two days she was spending most of her time sitting in my lap purring away like she wouldn't even do with my aunt.

I've always remembered how much I enjoyed bonding with an animal that I had to use different kinds of communication to get through to. And since they're often abandoned it seems like a win-win for me to eventually adopt one. :D

Oh, I had no idea about that! :O How very interesting. And it seems like a very good choice for a pet as well!
