Whaddya' know, it's been exactly one month and here I am again.
I don't want to say that LJ has fallen by the wayside, but I guess I've just found other and quicker ways to vent lately. I have my art blog to talk about my art on, and sometimes I go on tumblr and complain about my family or other problems I'm having. I really hate doing that though, since I hate being "that girl'!
But anyway, I hate you all (as if there are many of you) thinking that I've forgotten about LJ or have disappeared off the face of the earth. That is why I'm posting.
So, hello.
Summer has been, well, a bummer. Aside from Maine, of course.
no job, my family is pissing me off constantly, I never see my friends which makes me paranoid that they don't even care that I exist anymore. The other day, I actually just started crying. It's been awful.
But on the bright side, Monday, the 25th, Mr. Kennedy is having a figure painting session at his studio downtown and he invited all the Sons of Turner to attend. There's going to be a lot of us there (including some Sons I don't know...or who may not know me very well), but I'm excited. I need a little bit of structure in my life. I know I need a job, but I miss these people. And I want to see them and paint with them for a little while. It might really suck, though since I have to walk 5 blocks in the heat to Halsted, then ride a bus that I've never been on to a part of Chicago I've never been to. I am meeting up with my friend Elisa from school after the painting, thing, though. Hopefully it'll be fun.
Next Saturday, I'm going to the Renaissance Faire again. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not as excited about it as I have been in the past. I don't have a lot of money to spend and I just remembered I have to buy a ticket as well. Not to mention that it will be hot and we're having a big group this year--mostly made up of people I either A. Don't care much for and B. don't even know.
I received my diploma in the mail today. I thought it wasn't coming until September. But yeah, it's officially over now. Also, I did go to graduation...lol, they just sent our diplomas through the mail for some reason.
Saw the very last Harry Potter movie today, as well. Now, I don't consider myself a huge fan of Harry Potter. I only read the first three books. I liked them, and that was that. (Please don't kill me, friends who are diehard fans!!). But this movie...dear lord. The part where Harry was watching Snape's memories, I lost it. This lump formed in my throat and I was just quietly teary the rest of the film. That movie was amazingly good! It does feel kind of sad, now that it's over. The movies, if anything, were a big part of my life.
renaissance faire,
summer,
real life,
art,
friends
