To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
I And these are the moments
I've been drawing a lot lately.Some are originals and others are 'Inspired By's because I've seen lots of pretty things lately and I try to draw them.Its been fun ,what surprises me is how much art I've been doing.
Somehow after last year I've found that its the best way to get rid of any negative feelings.It also makes a lot of people smile.And that my friends is an amazing thing.
When it was time last year for my class to write goodbye notes on each other's notebooks I decided to decorate each page I wrote in with comics.I wanted to stand out and I did.Some were grateful and I was excited that I had finally allowed myself the chance to try and be me with them.
I started drawing for real after I failed at drawing a cartoon back when I was 5.I wanted to learn and I entered several schools through the years.Every teacher I went through left me with something.The most beautiful thing I remember from those days was that the teachers always had faith in me.Then came the best art teacher I had.After she left my last school wasn't the same and soon I forgot about drawing.
And now that Im back at it ,well things are sort of falling into place in many ways ...
Just because Im talking a lot about my past doesn't mean I haven't been making new memories..
II Making New Memories
Studying for a career in the arts is crazy but fun.
When I first decided to study music people stared at me in disbelief.Because they did not know I loved it.Back when I was a kid ,I wanted to learn pino but my moher forbade me from going near hers.So i never learned but I sung instead.All of this was forgotten as the years went by and I fell into a srt of surviving state.
My last few years at school were helpful in many ways.Somehow I decided to look into my blurry pasts for answers as to who I had wanted to be that would lead me to decision.
Slowly like a puzzle things began making sense in my head.
Now Im here studying for a bachelor in music.So far I have two music classes in my schedule and so far they've been good.Im also learning guitar once a week.I've had the luck of making some good friends and I've kept in touch with some of my old ones.
I've had the chance of meeting people who are really passionate about what they do instead of dong it for the money or something.It really shows when you truly love something
Over there I feel a bit more comfortable with talking in public than I ever did in Highschool.
A lot of things have changed and Im seeing things more clearly.I knowwhat I want to do and how to slowly work my way through it.I feel so young but so old at the same time.
And even if I've had bad days ,something good always happens in them to make me feel better.
"Don't give up when you're so close, don't give up when you're almost there..."
I love that quote because it always stands true in some aspects of our life.When we are ready to give up,ready to stop waiting for the rain,ready to turn our backs because theres no way we can win something happens.And we realize how close we were to winning it all and losing it all in one moment.
"And faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the don't-know
That keeps me hanging on to you"
The other day I went to college without an umbrella and suddenly after my class it started to rain.I met a guy who helped me cover my guitar with a black bag so it wouldn't get damaged.Later i was left there alone,in the empty Music department building waiting for the rain to stop.It was a beautiful sight but I felt mostly bored.
I didn't have many options until I thought on calling one of my old best friends.Surprisingly she immediately picked up.We talked for a long time and then it stopped raining.
It was one of those strange moments in my life because I remembered having thought that If I ever needed someone to talk to I wouldn't have anyone.I had friends who were too busy or faraway,friends that didn't have much to say,friends that would look at me like a freak and no one else.
That day however I thought of three people.I realized that If I had a really bad day I could call my music classmate who was a bit crazy but had a heart of gold.She would listen and care.I could call Piper* who was my friend from highschool.She was always busy as hell but she always had some free time if my call was really important.I could also wait till i got home and talk for an hour with Dany who would make me forget how bored or sad I had been in an instant.
Somehow this makes all the difference.
III How could you not miss this?
I once used to love a band called Lifehouse.I loved them for one too many reasons.Not only were their lyrics inspiring but I loved the haunting music.There was also a strange coincidence with them.When I had realy bad days I would have their new cd to calm me down.Whe I had good days and I got inspired to write stories back in the day ,their music would give me more ideas and set my writing mood.When my dad died ,I remember I had their second cd on repeat all that evening.It helped me to get through the day and it was a miracle I still loved them after hearing the whole album several times.Thats my story with Lifehouse.Why I loved them so much.Also one of my favorite songs of all time is 'Spin'.
Here's a lyrics excerpt ::
I'd rather chase your shadow all my life
Than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know
Where I'll be than be alone and convinced that I know
When the world keeps spinning 'round
My world's upside down and I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you and I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I wouldn't change a thing
So now I must share with my friends,the excitement at having found out that they have a song in the Wicker Park Movie Soundtrack !!! The song is hauntingly beautiful and a proof they haven't changed much even if the band has changed.The song is titled "Everybody is Someone"
stumbling I fall away it's hard to make a change
easy to be who you are when no one knows your name
walking past the lonely walls with eyes as cold as stone
climb inside the emptiness it's safe when you're alone
don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just look around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone
all this time you lived alone without a memory
built your life upon the ground that sinks beneath your feet
step outside the misery for once you feel alive
second chances only come around once in a life
don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just turn around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone
don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just turn around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone
don't be alarmed
don't be afraid of what you are
just look around
everybody is someone
everybody is someone
IV Oceans Tide You Home
So now that im back studying almost full time my little spec of a life reduces but it doesn't mean the funs going to stop.There's so much to look forward to.So many things are going to show(new TV show Seasons,CDs,Movies a new latin soap wih my fave actor,onversations with friends ect) to help me make it through this year sane.
I love the fall season.But I don't want to be eighteen in december.I dont wanna be older :P
Now I must go study for my tests and overload my brain with annoying junk(my teacher says knowing all kinds of stuff/junk can help me with my future huband who I've never met:P).

IV If you still wonder..
If you wonder if I'll post any drawings for you to see if i can do more than stick figures(My arts teachers and me hated them so you will never see them :P) I will someday.If you still remember Pinted World and want it back,your wish will come true someday but I suck at deadlines so I can't give one.Just know I have worked on it and will keep on working.If you wonder if Im ever going to be known as the girl who has one too many ambitions and makes them real someday,the anwers yes.If you wonder why Im doing this,the answer is I don't know.
If you wonder if im being funny,the answer yes. :D :P
V A really small meme
I Ok.We all have a song that touched us deeply,inspired us,was heard at the perfect moment on the perfect day or something.We all have a song that to others means nothing but to us it means so much.We have songs that perfectly tell the story of a moment in our lives.If you'd like yu can talk about all those songs in answer to this meme.
I already told you about Lifehouse so moving on...
II At this moment which song makes you giddy? :P
In my case it's Spin and Everybody Is Someone by Lifehouse.The songs are not exactly cheerful but they give hope and say so much.Since I love Spin so much I feel like dancing and what not when i hear it.That song was also an inspiration for a story I wrote back when they released their cd.The lyrics wouldn't tell you what the story was about though.For that you'd have to ask.
