where has all my creativity gone

Dear self,

"For the lulz" is an unacceptable reason to consider minoring in a subject you have lamented taking and were constantly genuinely worried you would fail for six years.

Love,

Me

80's party happened, was fun, and I totally won my age group of the costume contest. $20 and Mentos, baby. Photos: One in which I look somewhat sane, one in which I look sort of evil but displays the outfit better, and one in which I am planking.

Rolled on out with my family to the open day for most of my friends' high school today, seeing as my baby sister will be starting high school next year. I wonder if our tour guide was alarmed by how well I know the school without having actually studied there... We spent a lot of time in the Japanese room because our cousin was there and sis likes to show off her mad chopstick skillz. Despite this, we actually got through the open day quicker than expected, so I went to Starbucks for a frap and a cinnamon roll with Dad before he went to work. :)

I have such mixed feelings about dA right now: On one hand I have been getting some lovely commissions over there (guys! meet my pop idol canon OC!). On the other hand I'm growing steadily more annoyed with a commenter with no apparent reading comprehension and absurd, almost impressive persistence in trying to get art of a particular pairing that just is not going to happen where she is looking for it. (She's been accused of art theft to boot, so I'm extra wary, but my Tineye investigation turned up nothing.) And I do not have the permissions to block her. Ugh. Come on, self, focus on your beautiful commissions.

I am really not happy that the Wellywood sign is going ahead. It's tacky and unoriginal. I have yet to hear any support from people in the industry it's celebrating, and not even the PM/Minister of Tourism likes this poor attempt at a tourism generator. Seriously hoping that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce lawyers up to smack this down.

I am blanking so hard on my solo performance. Well, on structure/premise, anyway; I know all the bits I want to put in. Irritatingly, I've had quite a few ideas for the accompanying artwork, which isn't due for like a month, whereas the performances are next week.
