So its Saturday if I want to follow my timeline for my Art challenge/project, I need to finish my self portrait today because I have to start the portrait on Miles tomorrow. I need yellow, even though I normally avoid using it for some reason. I need magical art supplies from heaven, hello god are you listening? Hm he told me to go to the store and buy some. I guess I will have to pry myself away from my silly yet addicting facebook games and do something constructive.
So with all these "I am America's next",....model, idol, fashion designer, hairstylist and so forth. Finally there is one that is true to my soul, on bravo, Sarah Jessica Parker's Work of Art, America's Next Great Artist, except its missing one thing,.. me! I found out about the casting to this about a week after they were done, Doh! Well anyhow, I decided the hell if that is going to stop me. I am going to compete anyway, since my art is done mainly for myself anyhow, what will it matter that I am going to be doing the show from home. The pros is that I cannot be eliminated, unless I don't finish my challenge, and I think this will be a good challenge for my skills and mind. I will also get some art to come out that is outside of my box and realm of thinking and that is nothing but good most of the time. At the very least its going to make a fun project, and with the week long timeline I will be motivated to follow this through. I will document my progress here, because its easy and I can add pictures of my progress. I recorded the first episode and have yet been able to watch it, so I am already 2 days behind, but thats ok 5 more days are to come and I have been through times when I have created dozens of pieces in that span of time so I am not concerned. But I will start tomorrow.
So I have to make a few rules for myself. 1: Watch the episode up until they are given the challenge then stop and work on my own 2: Do not watch any extra online footage that might give me an advantage they do not have 3: Keep a written and photo record of my progress online 3: Do not finish the episode until my piece is done, but 1 day before the next one is viewed.
Of course I wont be able to get any feedback, unless I get it here and more people start reading the nonsense I talk about.
Here I am holding an ice pack on my lip, I just had it re-pierced. It is so swollen, but that is not what is irritating me, its also totally numb and not from the ice pack. I guess he nipped a nerve or something and now this little section of my lip directly under the piercing is numb. It was not even a NEW piercing, it was an old one, he even used the same hole. Perhaps it was from the scar tissue, perhaps he just messed it up.
Either way I just wish the swelling would go down since its making the bar actually sink into my lip and it even came out yesterday and I had to mess with it for an hour to get it back in,..that may be partially why its so swollen but I guess there is nothing to do but hang in there.
I have had about 21 piercings in all, some I let close, then redone,..but most are gone now and I wanted to start again fresh. *sigh* So much for that. I guess I should be lucky that I NEVER had a problem until now, especially after all the horror stories I have seen and heard, guess I have my own now too.
Such abstract trapped in this silly skin, but not so much stuck as lived in. My days amaze still even me, a gaze dismays of tragedies. My heart apart of the fact with broken proses of stars in the abstract
The transition from youth to adulthood can be smooth or incredibly difficult. What is the most important lesson you learned since middle school, and how has it guided you?
Just because an opinion is your own, does not mean that it is correct. This has helped open my understanding of myself and others greatly. Not only am I capable of understanding my own actions, where before I was just acting on them, but I can see parts of where others' perspectvives stem from and their actions. It has helped aleviate much stress in my life as the number of misunderstandings are cut down.
I always have an assortment of projects that I am working on, here is the current run down:
Fairy Tale Theme, Snow White inspired painting set. My first real scrapbook with beach trips to display. Ideas and business plans for 2 different ventures. Diet and workout regiment, which does count as a project because of its commitment level. Writing a horror theme short story series. Collecting a new wardrobe.
This is my first entry here and I'd like to say something profound as my opener but I'm tired, stoned, one of the cats are howling in the other room, and I have to be up in 4 hours to make breakfast and lunch for my boyfriend before he leaves for work. The only reason I continue to sit here writing is that I am setting up my profile and journal still from earlier and I can't go to bed with it unfinished and just a shell of nothing. OCD a little, not so much, I just prefer to completely establish my page so I can just begin journaling tomorrow instead of over customizing the layout and never writing anything.
