Just me being.... me.
Well, I guess I'm back. I kind of died there didn't I? I'm sorry. It won't happen again... I hope. This is a continuation of my angry-crappy-cryptic thing on dA.
Um, what have I been doing? Sewing. Lots of sewing. I am currently volunteered as the costume-sewer for the Valley Players at the Rye Playhouse. I can say with honesty that sewing is starting to become rather calming and therapeutic. As I learn more about techniques and tricks I can feel more creative. It's not about the end-product but the process to get there. I'm waiting on a new digital camera (the old Kodak finally died!) so that I can take a picture of my new skirts. I love wearing skirts now. So comfy and just really pretty.
Drawing has been difficult. I mean, it's not like I don't like it anymore but I'm just stuck. I don't feel as if I can get past 'me'. It's like, I'm restless or something. Maybe I'm still trying to fool myself into thinking something will just fall out of the sky into my lap and be all, EUREKA! Even painting on Painter doesn't feel... something. I haven't been able to do anything but angsty-crap. I'm not a angsty-person, I'm a upbeat-happy-and-very silly person. It is just so off to be angry and moody and make angry moody doodles.
Friend-wise. Nothing here. I'm struggling to make friends (what a laugh!) and I am definitely down-n-out on being social. People are really nice in Colorado but I'm making the mistake of opening my mouth and not thinking first. I really should try more to keep in touch with Heather and Alex but it's Heather who is the best to get a hold of. I'm not feeling abandoned just... terribly lonely. I'm writing long letters to both of them and I need their new-addresses.
Mom and I are still exploring the area. We picked three bushels of Jonathan and Golden Delicious apples on Monday (how I wish Honeycrisps were grown here!) and we had a lot of fun. Bought one of the last Rockyford Melons for the season. Delicious. The aspen-trees are starting to turn golden on the mountains. It's beautiful and I can't wait for Fall to be fully upon us.
I really like my Art-History 112 class. It's online but that works out very well for me. I'm cheating a bit because the teacher wanted Stockstad's Art History book but I'm not paying for that when I have my $250 Gardener's Art through the Ages book instead. I'm relearning how to write a research-paper...>.<
I'm busy but not that busy. Figuring things out is keeping me away a lot but here's some of that terrible angsty-stuff.
Question-time: What are you looking foward to about Fall/Winter?
