No school today! -40 degrees! :D

In the eleven years I’ve lived here, there has never been a cancellation of school. Not when it was -26 and the heating was broken nor when we got three feet of snow in one afternoon.

Thank god. I’m going to spend all day playing Call of Duty :D

satanicsnail asked: Where did you learn to draw bodies?? I always look for some type of guide online but i never really find n e thing. I want to learn how to draw bodies!! :( also i think you would like this one user i know of. But its from Live Journal.com I use LJ more than Tumblr. http://coppergecko.livejournal.com/ She also has a blogspot, the link is in her livejournal info (profile). Hope you enjoy it. She has some really cool things and some of ur bodies and weirdness remind me of her

If you wanna learn how do realistic bodies, I’d try Pose Maniacs or one of the many art references on devART.

My noodle-people body shape things are just a weird style I eventually got into. I don’t really know how it happened. I think Moosekleenex  had a big effect on how I draw. I used to study her work, so if you want more stylistic body shapes I’d look at hers art. It’s lovely.

And thanks! I’ll definitely check her out! :D

I decided I’m gonna do this challenge thing ‘cuz I am bored to poo.

So! Ten Secrets:

1. I’m really good at “being happy”

2. I don’t date because I hate to let people get close to me. I’d rather be a lonely and secretive than vulnerable. Loneliness hurts less than spewing my life story to a boy and then loosing him.

3. I sing when I watch Rocky Horror Picture Show, and dance every time to the Time Warp.

4. Sometimes I wonder if I just use it as an excuse to justify everything else.

5. I love being/staying single. That way I don’t have to look pretty for anyone. I haven’t shaved in weeks, I look like a Sasquatch.

6. I have a box of post secrets I don’t plan on mailing

7. Sometimes I wish I still didn’t eat.

8. I blow my friends off all the time to sit on my ass at home and play video games.

9. Sometimes I look through his blog to see if he still talks about us, or if he’s moved on to a new girl.

10. If I could grow a beard, I’d fuckin’ do it. It’d be beautiful. People would be jealous.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing this thing backwards haha :)

9 Loves:

1. Working in a candy store :)

2. Getting paint all over my arms and hands when I’m working on a piece of art, and just letting the paint settle and stain all day. It makes me feel like a real artist :)

3. My friends and family and meeting new, eccentric people. The quiet people that hang out in corners—and sport odd clothing or have have an array of piercings or tattoos or crazy facial hair—are usually the most fun to be around :)

4. Hot cups of tea. And sushi. And noodles.

5. Days when I just sit around, watch Netflix, play video games, and eat three times my body weight. I literally only move eight feet tops on those days. Fuckin’ fantastic.

6. Getting to pee after I’ve been holding it for forever.

7. Finishing books on my list of novels to read.

8. Creeping on people! Especially cute boys. If I’m going to tell you you’re cute in person, I’m going to do it in the creepist, most memorable way. With a mustache or an overcoat, or scream it across the street to make you blush in front of your friends, or using one of my kickass pick up lines: “Are those space pants, ‘cuz your ass is outta this world.” “Is that a mirror in your pocket, ‘cuz I can see myself in your pants.” “What’s that in your eye? A twinkle?”

9. Wrapping myself up in a blanket that was just pulled out of the dryer.

May 20th

So fuckin’ excited :)

Shocked that of all people, he invited me. I could have sworn that, underneath it all, he still hated me.

And yet I’m highly doubtful he really thought this one through. I think he realized after telling me that he doesn’t really want me to go with him afterall haha.

But, even if we don’t go together, I will be there. How could I pass up good music!?

8 Fears:

1. I’m terrified that I’ll loose my right hand somehow and then I’ll never be able to paint or draw well again. What would be the reason to live at that point?

2. That my father will commit suicide. I feel like the most unforgiving, piece of crap daughter sometimes, yet for some reason I cannot cut him a break. I’m so over it, I’m ashamed of him.

3. I’m afraid I’ll never appreciate or forgive my father. Or that, if I have children, I’ll end up like him.

3. That I won’t tell anyone about it.

4. That I will tell someone about it.

5. That I’ll forget about or neglect important people in my lives.

6. Whether my parents will ever crawl out of their depression—I’m afraid they’ll never be able to get on with their lives without medication or self-help novels or self-destructive habits.

7. That my negativity towards intimate relationships will be my downfall.

8. That I won’t be able to find my place in life.

7 Wants:

1. To get accepted to and somehow come up with enough money to attend MICA.

2. To learn how to cook more than ramen (even though I can barely make that as is).

3. To smoke something—even though I know I shouldn’t. A cigarette, a joint, a hookah, doesn’t matter. It’s been too long since I relaxed and a little cancer sounds nice.

4. To go to yoga.

5. To paint a painting of Iron & Wine that doesn’t look like fucking jesus (so many times I’ve tried, and each time he turns out looking like christ with a bunch of lyrics around his head instead of a halo—maybe it’s a sign that Iron & Wine is holy?)

6. To find a cute boy who wears flannel and skinny(ish) jeans and can grow a beard at the snap of my fingers. A big bushy beard that he could  hide a guitar in, so that whenever I want to be serenaded he could just whip it out of his facial hair and strum away. He’d be like an indie, hairy version of Mary Poppins

7. To shave my head.
