Oy...

Airplanes wear me out. I'm so tired. I'm still tired. I got home hours ago. Like... last night. Midnight last night.

And I'm still tired.

And it felt like I had restless leg in the car on the way back.

AND MY SUITCASE BROKE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PILOT A HEAVY SUITCASE WITH ITS STUPID LITTLE GRIPPY HANDLE?


holy shit, I'm getting a new suitcase.


Anyway, the week was long, but not impossible. I managed to pull through alright, despite how little sleep I felt I got during the course of the stay. I tried sleeping in the laundry room of the "Big House" at the "resort" in order to get some privacy (since there were 8 of us in the building at one time), but that didn't last long when the bugs started invading and the water heater made me its bitch.

Fortunately, my dad moved the three of us into a smaller unit across the street, which made it a lot easier to deal. But with walls paper-thin and the neighbors without the ability to control the volume of their voices? eh...

It was easier. I didn't say it was perfect.

But I had my own tv.

And a futon.

And the Matrix.



hell yeah.



Anyway, it was good to see my family, but I'm so glad to be home. These next five weeks are going to be fast and stressed and busy, but I guess it's for the best. I work well under pressure. I mean, I have a checklist!

*other drawing for Jo
*call the guy and make the orientation
*artist statement
*clean my room
*clean my room (2)
*start getting ready for the move
*find furnishings for the move
*host a canadian for two weeks
*polish three portfolio works
*pray to GOD that those three portfolio works kick ass at the show
*pray to GOD that the ass-kicking gets 1,500 in scholarship money
etc.

oh.

*get less headaches




yeah.



*yawn* I drew a lot over the trip, tho, so I should have a few things to share. maybe I'll just drop it all in one dump and upload that. cut through the bullshit.

etc.


anyway, later gaiz. glad to be back.

Edit: By the way, I'll probably be leaving dA when I start college. It was fun to be here while I was doing the fly-solo kind of thing, but if I'm planning on being professional, I gotta ditch the ass-pats. dA was fun for a little exposure, but I need real critique to actually grow, and this is not the place for it.

It's a great place to get visibility if you're lucky, but it's also a great place to lose your work and meet a lot of unnecessary conflicts.

Hopefully, tho! I'll get together with somebody and build my own portfolio webpage, and link to it from here. :3 I'm not vanishing off the face of the earth, I promise.

I'm just probably going to vanish from the face of dA.

Too bad I have to get in one later.

Yeah, I'm going away for a week to visit family. Hopefully the cabin will have wi-fi. I don't know why I'm hoping, but I don't see why I couldn't.

bah.

Yeah, so. Airplanes. Shitload of fun. Hopefully I'll sleep. XD And hopefully there will be leg room. I don't know why I'm hoping, but I don't see why I couldn't.


Yeah, so I should be back in a week. Hopefully with art. or... whatever.

Bye gaiz!

Omg, guys, I'm out of my funk.

I dran-o'd my art block. 8D I can DRAW agen!


Granted, my work looks hella rough and all outta proportion. I can fix that.

Art has been pretty damn slow for me lately. D:

And it really sucks, because there are a million things for me to draw (paint, sculpt, etc), but I can't seem to have the real inspiration to create. I mean, I want to draw, but lately I just have no powerful motivation. Or something.

Whatever.


I really have no idea.

I guess a contributing factor would be the end of the school year drawing to its close (therefore meaning I have to bust my ass and get all my government work done before the semester ends). Or maybe it has to do with all the fecking stress in AP Art. What with all the slides and the matting and the cutting and the tiny fucking stickers to put on the slides. GREAT for the artistic setting. Ooohhh yeeaaaahhh.... =__=

Either way, it doesn't really matter. I have no motivation and very few ideas and blahblahblah.

Hopefully something will come to me. Or whatever.

Something.


Hopefully.



Pity me. D: I needs teh drawingks tiem.



P.S. Ian in less than four days.


pps. Black Sabbath > movie

I've been accepted to the CCA! I have a student ID number now! I'm starting in the fall!



Not just that! But I got 24,000 dollars in scholarship money already! Six-thousand a year! Omg omg omg! *screaming dancing*
