A Little Late...

 I never posted about how excited I was that Seth Aaron won project runway.  I was literally screaming with excitement like a little school girl (which I guess I am? I'm little, a female, and am in school...)!  In fact, I have halted all spending in hopes of buying a piece of the collection on bluefly... oh man!  Hopefully there will be something $200 or under.  Yes, I know I spend too much on clothes and am crazy... but I feels it's worth it if it's unique and truly artistic.  I'm not gonna spend $200 on some crappy purse that is beige and has a whole bunch of C's on it.  No.  But this...

...is beautiful.  Strangely enough, this is the dress that the judges hated on the most.  Whatever.  I would wear this every fucking day, even though I hate the shit out of purple.  Hopefully it will be sold... ah!  I love his stuff so much!

Anyways, I don't have time for this.  I'm only posting because I'm avoiding the oodles of work I need to get done today:  I need to finish one drawing (~2 hours max), start/finish my final drawing (~6 hours) and throw together my paper/presentation for Hellenistic Art (yuck!) (~3 hours)... so that's about 11 hours of work, and I have 12 hours until I should go to bed to be well rested for crits tomorrow.

I still have about 10-15 hours left on my dress... I might have to throw it together and re-do it later... just pin it or something? Ugh... Oh well.  If I finish my paper today, I have 7 hours to work Monday and 10 hours on Tuesday.  Hopefully that will be enough to "make it work"... Man I wish sculpture crits were next week :\... I've already spent over 12 hours on this >.< grr.... okie dokie. bai bai.

Health plz. Thank you.

So... still sick.  Whatever.  My mom thinks it's stress... I mean, I am a stressed out person, but what college undergrad/grad who gives a fuck about their work isn't!?  But I'm actually less stressed now (mostly due to therapy, confidence, and a bit o' pharmaceuticals) so it's a bit weird.  I'm trying not to let it get me down.  My crap job might be a factor... hmm... I probably could work, but am totally avoiding it.

Applied for a job at the library today.  Hope I get called for an interview... I fucking love libraries.  This is most likely due to me loving books, and being an academic in the humanities.  Research!  Fuck ya!

I'm two short weeks away from summer.  But, I have a million things to do:  2 3 hour drawings, 2 6 hour drawings, a dress/cosplay (sculpture), a small paper (BS) and presentation (BS BS), a take home final (BS) and my Baroque Architecture final (which I'll probably study little for, since I have a 97%).

Speaking of Baroque Architecture - why do I know more about Catholic mythology than the Catholics in my class who defend the architect Guarino Guarin for his defense of a geocentric universe throwing out Galileo/Copernicus' work for wishy-washy "theology".  I don't like calling it theology.  It sounds too much like science.  I mean, SCIENCE*, they didn't know who St. George was?!  HE KILLED A MOTHERFUCKING DRAGON!  They thought I was pulling their leg when I said that... seriously?

You see, I love a good story, which is why I study religion a lot of the time.  It's also important for my art historical studies and research, since a lot of the art pre-modernism is driven pretty much solely by religious motives... I just can't wait until people present Michelangelo's pieta in the same way they present the Farnese Bull Group.

Anyways, I've been making art still.  It feels good.  I'm also sewing this costume, which feels double good.  Especially because the last time I used my machine I made the most horrible Poison Ivy costume ever.  Now I'm making a secret costume... that the people who read this probably already know about... and it's going well!  I mean, I've definitely fucked up things... there's some uneven hems, weird stitching issues, etc... but, still.  Pretty effing awesome for me... and most of the mistakes won't be visible after I go through the weathering process.  I also have this kick ass guy making me a prop for my costume - which I'm totally going to wear at ACen... a con I haven't been to in 4 or 5 years!  Plus, it's going to be a kickass Halloween costume - YES.  I'M PLANNING FOR HALLOWEEN ALREADY.  I've been planning for Halloween since November 1st.

So arts!

This is awesome.  I am proud of it.  It's a copy of Chiho Aoshima's The Red-Eyed Tribe

This sucks.  I said it.  It sucks.  I tried, though.  I really did.

This is awesome.  It's a neat self-portrait.  I'm proud of this one, too.

So, there you have it.  I'll post more shit later when I get fired up.

A weird thing I noticed today is that I was incredibly apathetic as a high schooler... In the last 4 years or so I have transformed into the opposite.  I seem to care about EVERYTHING now... it's crazy.  Even stupid shit.  Except sports... I still don't give a fuck about sports... well... ice skating and gymnastics... and the Olympics XD

ONE LAST THOUGHT:  I've been following this really great blog, Blag Hag, that is written by an incredibly thoughtful young atheist (like myself, but much more outgoing, intelligent, etc...).  I suggest you follow that blog and participate in her awesome event BOOBQUAKE, which may be the best idea ever.  See info here on her blog, or here on Facebook.

*It has recently come to my attention that I say "Oh my god", "Jesus!" and other such holy expletives... so, I'm trying to just replace it all with science.  Doesn't have the punch, but it also doesn't have the religion-part.

OME

The Doctor Who premier was fucking awesome.... and the new Doctor Who is quite the looker :D I'm a sucker for British accents and crazy hair ^^... oh wait.  I'm engaged =_=/// lame!

I spent most of my day trying to motivate myself to draw... I'm in the middle of coping a drawing of an artist by the name of Ryoko Aoki... quite a pain in the ass :\ We're supposed to spend 3 hours per drawing and I've spent about 6 so far on this one... ugh!

It's not really my thing.. I'm more into creepy and cute things... I actually really hate drawing flowers.  On the plus side, my mom will probably love it.  I guess it is a little pretty.... hope my final project turns out well.

This is much more of my thing :D

My final should be meshing the two aesthetics together... some crazy creepy, yet organic hair portraiture.  Should be pretty interesting.  I have no idea why I'm challenging myself so much when I'm just an Art History student taking this for credit...

Oh well.... at least I'll get my cosplay for ACen done for my sculpture final.  That's a win right there.  Now, back to the drawing board... lolz at the literal-ness ^-^

I've been getting all of my images from "Drop Dead Cute" - which is a nice text with a lot of pretty pictures from some contemporary Japanese artist.  There aren't very many good texts out there (that aren't $80 a piece), but this one's pretty good I'd say u_u

YES!

I spent 5 hours on my term paper for Baroque Architecture and got an A!!! YEEEESSSSS!!

This semester has actually been pretty exciting. Painful, but exciting. I had 18 credit hours, but it ended up dropping down a bit when I got ill and had to drop my thesis until the summer :\ That was a bummer.

I'm still pretty sick and the doctors haven't figured out what's wrong with me yet =_= ugh. That's the one big downer, but I have only two weeks of school left... so fuck yeah on that. The diagnosis has evolved as follows:

Arthritis -> some other skeletal/muscular thing -> heart valve issue -> lungs -> relfux/ulcer -> celiacs disease

These all suck, but I'd take any one of them at this point. It'd just be nice to know what's up and end all this pain and inconvenience. I'll be in the middle of class and my professor will be all like "Lindsay blahblahblah why is this so ?" and I'll be all like "FUUUUCCCCKK PAAAAAIIIIN" <-- interior dialogue. It is quite amusing how it comes up at the least convenient times.

My favorite moment so far, was when I was sipping on some wine over spring break while watching "The Room"* with my friends... In the middle of a sip my pain came on, and I ended up regurgitating on the floor a bit... ha. The best part was that they thought it was because I was drunk, even though it was only my second glass of wine over a 6 hour period XD Oh man. Embarrassment city.

Hopefully this will get figured out soon.... I really need to get back to work, due to me being poor... but at the same time I HATE MY JOB. My bosses suck the life source out of me and leave me a miserable shadow of myself =_= I just can't zombie-fy anymore at work or trick my brain into thinking it's somewhere else. It really sucks.

What sucks more is that I've been actually trying to find another job on campus (which is usually easy), and I can't seem to find one anywhere... ugh. So lame. Well, I guess I'll have to grow yet another pair... I'm becoming over laden with testicles :\ boo.

*Best movie ever, btw. WATCH IT. But know that it's awesome because it's horrible.
