apparently my camera phone picks up infrared. that's kinda cool...
so i just realized that i'm a little bit drunk. perfect time to post!
don't worry, it's not a wallowing sort of drunk, just a quiet saturday night watching tv and cuddling with the kitten sort of drunk. coke and vanilla vodka. i'm not even through my first glass yet. granted, i'm not so drunk that i can't type. but i am using the backspace a lot.still loving having my own space. i find that i can have so many more quality conversations with myself. and i had some fun with my first painting experiment. nothing amazing, but they're mine and i kinda like them:

i went to the library today to write. i was there for at least three hours and all i did was chat with garett and buy some overpriced dried apricots from today's amazon local deal. i dunno, peeps. starting to feel like i'll be an office bitch in north carolina forever. *shudder* all i've wanted to be was a writer or a musician. the music career didn't quite pan out and it's starting to feel like the other won't either. so what am i now?
i'm loving the spring rains. not loving the allergies. those are new to me. i think the pollen here was genetically engineered to be fucking annoying. but i've always been a water person. i love the sound. i love showers. it's kinda funny considering my astrological elements (depending which calendar you subscribe to) are earth (virgo) and fire (leo). but i guess i love all four. hence the paintings. partly also my love of harry potter. yup, i went there.
otherwise not much going on. i work and i read and i try to forget all the dreams i had for myself. hmm. sounds like it's time for bed. ninight!

As Samuel Johnson wrote, "Few things are impossible to diligence and skill", and you have skill.
so, this art you are showing is YOURS? I love them. I particularly love the second (orange/redish) one and the fourth (blue) ones!!! Very cool. And please explain to me the Harry Potter reference? I love HP and totally didnt get it, or maybe I'm just tired (although not drinking at this time).
@BubblysLife - four elements, four houses: water (slytherin), fire (gryffindor), earth (hufflepuff), air (ravenclaw). the fifth element (quintessence) in classical greek was aether, the pure element that was breathed by the gods and used to create the universe which encompassed and integrated the other four elements. the word itself is related to other greek words meaning to burn or shine, and it is symbolized by the lightning bolt. ...
see it now? rowling really is a fucking genius.
and thank you. the second and fourth are my favorites, too. i finally like the third, but i still don't think i've finished with it yet. i've already painted over it a couple times.
@Mr. Mysterious - currently my skills are focused on season two of drag race. i'd have started at one, but sadly it wasn't on netflix.
Mr. Arteest!
