Joyeux Anniversaire!

Mr. King of The Balkan-Banging World!

Now make me some damn music.

Another Rose

I seem to have misplaced my journal where I wrote down all my thoughts and feelings on this movie I watched, Wuthering Heights. I want to find it and share it with you guys, so I won't post it just yet.

I'm going to Virginia until Friday!

Then, I promise, I'll start posting again.

The reason I have waited so long is because I wanted to wait until I got my new camera! Now I'll have some real photos to post!

And don't you worry, plenty of pictures will be taken. Big scary dinosaurs, statues, all the snow outside my Grandparent's house, all the beautiful splendor INSIDE my Grandparent's house... I might even get to bring my labtop so there might be a post on Wednesday, if we're all very lucky. 

Saturday I am either going to a boy's house or a show with a boy, and if you MUST know, because one of my friends insists that I write about it, his name is Conrad, and he likes Death Cab For Cutie and American noir films, and that is all you ever need know. That, and if I go to his house that means I get to make Tiramisu and other things watch movies with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. Ahhh yes. Happy fun times. :)

Otherwise, Sunday post!

Merci. xoxo

I am an Awful Human Being, Aren't I?

Yes well my month vacation from www.blogger.com . . . is over.

Back to work, I suppose.

Movie review in a little bit. This one is good.

(Well, it's Sunday, isn't it?)

Oh no they couldn't possibly be so innocent. One day they will all come in wearing that backless scarlet dress, to show me what they have all really wanted the whole time.

Yeah give me a break.

I want to know that not every dude I meet is not going to immediately assert that all a girl wants is some form of romance, and for them to know that when girls asked them about their lives, it wasn't just because they wanted to be a part of it or something.

I wish that they knew that people can in fact be really just social and kind by nature.

I want a friend. And then, maybe something will happen. What breaks my heart is that they don't.

Ah, but what can you do.

Art Post!

Well I thought this would be appropriate.

I want a yellow rain jacket. Used to have one when I was a kid.

Bare with me on the last post, I was totally tired and deranged and should not have written while I was so sleep deprived.

Yes well while my awful disgusting and very evil 5 megapixel camera refuses to give me any photos, let alone decent ones, of art I have finished over my winter vacation, and I can post pictures of my next subjects.

This will be an acrylic painting. When I finally get the materials I need, what I'll do is take my guitar pick and trace it, and cover the canvas with rows of the outlines of the pick, and then probably trace the outline of the guitar very very lightly, and paint inside the tracings of the picks. This piece is sort of inspired by one that I saw at the MOMA in August when my mother and I were visiting my Uncle on the east coast. I hope that it turns out. I might not start it this break, simply because I have so many other things (most all of my song interpretation pieces and studying for my honors history class) that I need to get done by Sunday evening.

This is the French Horn that I stole from the art room (well, not exactly, the sub said I could take it, but you know.) Isn't it beautiful? Even though it looks like somebody had batting practice with it? I don't know why it's so beat up. But I think it is completely and totally amazing. It will be a drawing. I really massive one, too. Done on some sort of yellowed or off-white paper. I am especially excited to finish this one. This is one of the good ones, so I'm going to take my time to make sure that it's perfect.

And now, I must go draw in the Octopus for my Octopus's Garden drawing. C'est tout!

Full of Stealth

Wish I could have gone to Target yesterday. Ah well. I haven't any money for me, just other people.

Just thought this was sort of... interesting. Yes indeed!

Red post later. 

Wait and see.

The House That Got Away

We are staying.

When my father and his friend went to mitigate the basement floors of the property, they found that it wasn't precisely as perfect of a house as ol' Greg made us think it was. Thank goodness that we hadn't yet signed the lease.

He says that my room was really the only great part of the house.

(the bright coral walk-in closet which would have been mine...)

That, and the bay window in the study. 

The pool's engine is broken there, which was something my dad said he wouldn't fix, so the pool would've been useless. The German foreign exchange student we are having stay with us in May still would not have her own room. The bathrooms were still tiny. This needs be mentioned: I did not cry big and salty tears when I heard the news.

Now, we just have a few boxes to unpack. And I quite like it here now that I know just how messed up that house was. My rooms are painted white now, but I don't really mind. And I'm still near the Goodwill, and the very convenient bus stop that takes me right to Buffalo Exchange.  I'm just glad I'm living in a warm and clean house, and that we have enough room to have the whole famdamnly over for christmas day. That's actually very exciting, because we've always had to drive to the land of far away for the holiday festivities, and when you have to drive for hours after a christmas eve party, you don't get home until very very late.

In other news...

The artistic going has been--well not exactly tough, but just a little bit frustrating. My camera is taking really fuzzy pictures whenever I attempt to take a picture of new shirts and outfits with no flash. So, it is only natural that I ask for a decent working camera.

Right?

My folks gave me crap about being "completely ungrateful", that's why I asked.  At any rate I hope that my mum gets me my own copy of 500 Days of Summer, which comes out this Tuesday! ...or, finalement, Amelie! ...or some more Polaroid film. But, I'm mostly excited to make fudge and cookies for my fam and play games with my cousins on Christmas eve. That is the absolute best. Only a few days away until Christmas!
