    Dullness Really

    So, I have some paper topics now and I need to find some examples for my landscape class...

    My ancient philosophy paper is based on a quote from Aristotle's "Poetics" in which he says that astonishment gives pleasure. I'm going to expand on this sentence for him and use his own examples of great tragedies combined with some psychology to prove this statement is true. My first draft is due before Thanksgiving Break.

    I meet with my Scope and Methods of art history professor on Tuesday to discuss my major paper for that class. I've decided to continue my work with van Gogh and write about how his work changed based on where he was living at the time. He moved around a lot and I think I can write about the changes in his works especially the colors and lighting. I think she'll approve but I can't get started on it until we visit next weekend because all of my van Gogh books are in Tulsa. Bleh.

    I'm doing my "Age of Reptiles" mural still for Landscape and it has been approved. I need to email someone at the Linda Hall library and get some information on it to write about it. Also for this class if anyone has any ideas I need...

    1. Example of ecotourism that is people choosing to go into the environment for amusement over a movie or something for example national parks, visiting farms etc...

    2. A contemporary artist dealing with environmental issues.

    Figure drawing is going just fine.. I got an 85% on my 3rd portfolio. I continue to post my work on SheezyArt.Com

    I'm having a hard time handling going this long without seeing Shawn and then knowing when we do visit in January that I will be going a long time again. Even though he can't give me a real answer I am going with the assumption that he will join us in KC this Summer when we get the next apartment.

    JT and I are going to start searching in April. We'd like to get a town home apartment so there's more space and it's divided. We made a list of things we'd like and I'm keeping notes of apartments shown online that fit our criteria and price range. The plan is that Shawn and his room mate Jeremy will be joining us so we will need 3 bedrooms. We'd also like an extra space which most town homes have for our craft area. We keep accumulating crafts and currently we're doing a lot of sewing which takes a lot of space so we need the room to do that.

    We did finish my Halloween costume and then we did a photo shoot at a local park. Here's one of the photographs and probably the one we will submit to the contest:



    Way cute neh?

    Now we need to finish hers... we're also working on a denim dress with this same design only a longer skirt
    and I'm going to wear a t shirt underneath. I ordered some new one's so maybe we'll use one of those. They're from the same place I got my other ones. It's called Snorg Tee's They're amazing.

    JT took her computer in today... three different parts are dead or dying so she needs to replace it. It would cost $100 more to replace it than it would to fix it and keep it going for an extra year. Bleh. She's currently transferring her data onto her desktop computer. She needs to work on her book... and fill out applications.. oh well.

    Anywho... I have some school work to do and lots of cleaning... plus Shawn should get on tonight so yay for that... except the fact that we're both pretty depressed about everything right now. Oh well... as he would say.. it can't be helped.

    Blessed be Everyone.

    School days school days...

    Hey ya'll (ITS PAULA DEAN YA'LL!) Haha... just kidding...

    I decided to write a post about what's going on in my classes.. I dropped French 3 because I couldn't keep up with the work so that leaves me with 4 classes now... here's how they're going..

    Figure Drawing: I just turned in my 3rd portfolio. I have high hopes which may be crushed. I can never tell.

    Ancient Philosophy: He hasn't approved my topic.. I don't know if he got my email or not because the school email system doesn't let you see sent messages. I'm wanting to do a paper on a comment Aristotle made in Poetics about how people love astonishment and that's what makes a good tragedy. I have an exam in there on Tuesday which, I am not prepared for at all. Better get on that... not that I could until now since he just sent the study questions. Bleh.

    Modern Landscape: I'm going to do a paper on The Age of Reptiles mural by Rudolph Zillanger. Look it up it's pretty awesome... I have an outline and working bibliography due on Tuesday. I also need a topic for another paper about ecotourism. No clue what I'm doing for that yet.

    Scope and Methods: I have until next Tuesday to come prepared with my idea's on my major paper. I have the ok on working with van Gogh again so I need to come up with a topic. I'm thinking of writing about how as he moved the places he lived in changed his style or more specifically his color pallet.

    I need to sort out the classes I'm taking next semester. I need to make an easier work load so that I can find a job.

    I'm currently saving money so that I can see Shawn after Christmas. I'm going to need at least $600 to pay for gas and my hotel room. JT said she'd pay for her own room but if I can I'd like to save up for that and food as well. It will have been the first time we see each other for 7 months. Try and fathom that why don't you. And then imagine going another 6 to 7 months without seeing each other again. Good thing he's worth it.

    Going to go have a think now... will post more eventually.

  • Birthday Dinner!

    First off Happy Birthday to Shawn, love of my life.

    Secondly, tonight was my birthday dinner and we took pictures.


    Bunny didn't enjoy the gift opening.

    So he hid in his house.

    The whole family waiting for dessert. The dinner was wonderful.

    Great picture of JT and I.

    And just one good one of me to top it all off.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the full moon!

  • Worst dream ever...

    Just woke up from a nightmare...

    It was Halloween and I was alone in a hotel room waiting for someone. I had suspicions about a woman who worked there trying to hurt me so I was locked in tight. I heard a trick of treater and went to answer the door for them. I barely opened it.. it was her and she made a grab for me. I managed to get the door closed and locked and she started breaking it down so I went to the back room and crawled out the window. I started running to the closest gas station I could find with her and some men behind me. I was screaming for help as they chased me and a group of men outside hit the one's chasing me to the ground holding them there I thought. I ran inside crying for someone to call 911. They did and I spoke into the phone trying to explain. I called my dad... I told him what had happened and talked with him as he drove there. At a certain point I wasnt getting a response so I said "Ok... I'll meet you at a crime scene then.." and I hung up. I went outside.. there were cops everywhere and an ambulance. They were loading a body and I asked why. They said some of the men had guns and that if I needed to be sick I should turn around. I asked why I would be sick and he nodded towards the body. My eyes widened when I saw the arm. I ran over... lifted the plastic sheet.. saw my father dead with a bullet hole in his neck. I was screaming in my dream and woke up practically hyperventilating. It was horrible...

    A week alone

    Well, JT is gone for a week and she kind of picked an excellent time to do it. You see I realized I was sinking back into bad old habits. Because I have found so many happy things in my life I had given up the things that kept me happy in my depression.. such as exercise. The night before she left I had horrible flashbacks of when my life was a mess last Winter and knew I should take that as a sign and do something about it.

    So, for the first time since I went home for the Summer I played DDR. It felt amazing. I ended up playing 5 games in a row. I can't believe I ever gave it up. I've decided to do what I was doing before which is leaving it out all the time so if at any point I feel bored or feel like snacking for no reason I play DDR instead. Add to this the promise that JT made of joining the gym so we could work out together and swim whenever possible and I should be back to losing again. I went to check my resolution for this year... it was 20 and I've gone beyond that already and you know I can't stand not having a goal so I'm officially changing it to 40. Yup.. after 22 (in a week) years of never doing anything good for my body I'm finally doing something.. I mean... I was for a while but now I'm doing it again and that's what's important. Anyway.. yeah... I'm also going to try and cook some healthier stuff. JT has said she wanted to join me in this whole healthier lifestyle but I feel it's my duty to start it and then she can join when she wants. I need to do this for myself... I need to feel better about myself...

    I remember the reason I enjoyed it so much before was because I was in charge of something. I had control over what I ate or what I did and I was making progress on something personal. I had lost so much.. my security blanket had been burned and replaced with one so fragile it tore in a matter of 2 weeks. I can't control my emotions... I can't control my mental state all the time... but damn it I can control what I do physically.

    In other news... I have a shit load of homework to work on. I'm currently working on my iconography paper. I'm doing "St. Jerome in his study" by Durer. It has a lot of iconography to work with so it's proving to be a good piece to work with. The paper is due Thursday and I havn't begun writing it.. but at least I know what I will be writing about. My Dad helped a lot.

    My ancient philosophy paper isn't due till the end of the semester but the thesis statement is due this Tuesday. I'm doing a paper on Aristotle's definition of a good tragedy. I have not developed a thesis yet but that requires reading the work and I have yet to do that. I will though.. My next French quiz is next week and the next test is the week after. I promised myself I would get a B on both this time. Yet again.. I do love a good goal. I need to memorize a lot and I havn't not started that either. Yup... I'm right on top of things.

    My group expects my input on our project Tuesday and we present the Tuesday afterward. I have yet to work on it... I need to research Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom. Amazingly.. this is for an art history class. Yup... try and make sense of that one.

    I'm going to spend the day playing DDR and writing the iconography paper at least until Shawn gets online. So.. I have at least 4 hours of working time. I did so little yesterday that I need to put some effort into today. I expect good things from myself.. Hope all it well with everyone else.

    OMFG What a day

    Last night I dropped a jar of green olives on my laptop. As you can imagine it never started up again after that. We got up at 10 am to go to the Apple store. They told us we could come in at 12:30. JT said fuck that and went to bed. I stayed up and fumed. I was pissed... I babbled at my dad about it... screamed.. and went and paid for my parking ticket and got a meter card. Might as well do something while I'm awake and fuming. I left and went to the store to have them sit for 20 seconds, sniff my computer and tell me I had to get a new one. $2000 later I'm home with a new computer and TADA! the screen doesn't work. So I get to drive back there and replace it again.

    May I also add it was raining all day so each time I left I had to walk up the plaza in the rain and back down again in the rain... fuck.. Now I have my new laptop. By the time all that mess was done JT was back from her interview. She gets a third and final one now. We both hope she gets the job. By the time she got home I was too exhausted from everything to fight... she admitted she was being a bitch again... I shrugged... we're back to normal. Some things just arent worth really fighting... JT and I decided long ago fighting just isnt worth the energy.

    On a good note I'm not failing french like I thought I was... I have a D I think. Which is better than the F I thought I had. I've promised myself I'll do better on this next exam. I also promised everyone else. I also discovered tomorrow is my turn to bring snacks so we went to walmart and bought stuff and I'm currently making about 4 batches of muffins.. 4 types: chocolate chip, blueberry, pumpkin and banana. JT and I like the banana recipe most but the pumpkin is delish as well. I wasnt really in the mood to bake but.. it had to be done so I'm trying to find my usual enjoyment in it.

    JT is working on our costumes for halloween. I'm a sexy maid and she's a male pirate. It works. I'll be cooking and baking halloween as well. Fettuchini Alfredo with grilled chicken and shrimp and then pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread and roasted pumpkin seeds. Apparently food is the only topic I always am up for talking about. I like design too though... and fashion..

    I hate my major. I'm going to finish with it and be done. I'm adding studio art to my major as well but I'm not sure in what way yet. I'm meeting with someone on Wednesday to discuss this. But, I don't really want to continue with this major into my masters right now. It's dull... and I'm not finding any enjoyment in it. That's just not right... one should love their major.. all I enjoy is figure drawing and french (even though im doing horribly in french I do love the class.) Im thinking of taking figure drawing and french 3 repeatedly for my last three semesters just cause I love them so much. I'd hate to have a schedule that didnt involve Joey (my french professor. Major crush on him... but I'd rather do Shawn any day)

    So yeah... muffins... maybe watch a movie... eat something.. and then im falling asleep like woah. I have to get up in 12 hours anyway. ~.~; Ugh... Hope all is well with all of you.

    Wow.. way overdue for an update.

    Uh Hi Everybody ^.^;

    It's been a while... and um... I really have no idea what to write so... let's just see how this goes...

    I am currently:
            Tired, Exhausted, Worried, Anxious, Disappointed
    In the last week I have been:
            In love, Angry, Depressed, Lonely, Confused, Flirty, Desperate

    I had my first semi fight with JT which was really just me getting upset and staying in the bedroom until I got over it.

    I didn't speak to Shawn for a week.. it was hard but now it feels easier not having him around for days at a time.

    I thought I had reached some inner peace but now I see that I am never really going to find that. A bipolar can never come to a simple solution and keep that solution forever. It just doesn't happen.. at some point it will sound stupid.. or be too hard.. or you'll be too depressed.. or something will be good enough to make you let go.. something will happen. All it takes is the right mood swing and everything falls apart. Everything... there are a few things I can know for sure. Even if I have no idea if I will be happy, sad, angry or what have you tomorrow I know a few things..

    JT is my room mate for life and as long as I don't let shit out in her she will remain so
    My parents will never understand but they will never stop trying to
    I have people I can talk to... I always have someone.

    Shawn is perfect for me. He can handle me because he doesn't handle me. He doesn't force me into submission or put up with my antics or lead me around to the proper place. He just... wants to help.. he doesn't get angry.. or bitter.. or pushy.. he can wait for me to figure things out on my own. I will never find another person like him. I will certainly never find another boyfriend like him. And while in the past I would have said I should be careful not to fuck things up. I don't have to.. he knows what I'm like and for some odd reason he seems to think I'm worth it. So I don't have to be careful... or make promises I'll break..  just stay as myself and remind him that once the battle has passed and we've seen the casualties I will still love him and he will love me.

    Also.. I made a new friend. His name is Toby and he lives in Springfield, Illinois. He's a business major and a workaholic so we click pretty damn well. I met him on Furaffinity.net. My new favorite site. Mwhaha! PsuedoFurry!

    JT and I have some movies to watch so we better get down to that... make get down to some frozen pizzas as well. Mm... so tired.. but so good.

    Love you all.
