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.
