(no subject)
So November was full of fun things. Aside from proving that I certainly have a back breaking schedule, and one day into December proves it's only killing me further. I'm miserable, still taking Airborne, my eczema has decided to flare up in strange places such as on my eyelids (what??) and forearms which has never happened before and I'm just overall exhausted. I believe my whole body is rejecting me.
But there were good things. Like the story story that has been sitting on my computer for months is done. Needs to be cleaned up but it's done.
Also, my icon is a result of November. See it's a crop from a much larger print that Jonathan drew. Of me. A few friends were having a "share all your creativity" party and Jon was there. I was reading some of the short stories and poems and overall enjoying everything. So I was going through the mini gallery we had of other people's paintings and I turn and lo and behold I see Jon finishing up a sketch of a girl with a ponytail in a bow. Yeah, that was my current hairstyle, no mistaking it. The fact that he spent so much time drawing every individual twist is quite impressive. It was totally cool, but I didn't think much of it. Until it occurred to me that no one over the age of 10 has ever drawn me. That's pretty awesome to finally be drawn by a real artist, and I asked him to give me a copy. So send me he did. I have a much larger full version of the image (that I'll share later) but I wanted to icon it first.
The kicker? I showed it to one of my friends who works in the same office as Jon. He said, "You do realize Jon has drawn you before that day."
Wait what?
Apparently, right now as I type, over Jon's desk at his job is a white board. On that white board is a sketch he drew of me that he hasn't erased in a little over a month.
*hopeful thinking is hopeful*
