So I guess I can't stay away. I've moved to a different account.

BUT DON'T go running over there if you're expecting more Hetalia fancrap or something, okay? I've stopped drawing it, and I'm kind of disgusted with myself that those poorly crafted comics are the most popular thing in my gallery.

Still not deleting this account, so don't worry.

Yeeeeup. Don't ask why. That's just how it is. I won't deactivate my account, because I want to leave my art up for those of you who still want to see it.

Bye bye now~

I just looked at my calendar and I realized that the school year is ending in 3 weeks. I think now is a good time to look back at all the valuable information and life lessons I've accumulated during my time at KCAI.

...

Yeah so basically this is what you learn in art school.

- You will never sleep like a normal person ever again.

- You will dream big. You will expect great things from yourself. You will work hard. You will make a point to work hard. The end of the semester will roll around and you will have achieved nothing.

- Living in a dorm will force you to be more social than you've ever been in your life. You can try to resist it. You will fail. You will forget why you were so anti-social in high school, but soon the realization that everybody sucks will come careening back to you like a shortbus full of nuns.

- You will discover that emotions are terrible, horrible, evil things. They are proof that there is indeed a god/goddess/greater deity, and he/she/it is cruel as fuck. All of those friends that you made, all of those relationships you were nurturing because they had so much potential to be something pure and beautiful and good, will be left shitty and broken because you will be overloaded with all of these crazy fucking emotions that you won't know how to deal with. They will leave you blind. They will make a liar out of you.

- You will memorize how to use MLA style when citing sources for papers in high school. You will come to art school and wonder what the fuck Chicago style is and why everybody uses it.

- You will suddenly find deep, personal meaning in almost every song lyric or movie quote or magazine article or billboard you hear/read/see and you will waste countless pages of your sketchbooks writing them all down. In a few days you will be disgusted with yourself and you will rip all of them out.

- You will become addicted to gas station food.

- At some time or another you will be forced to choose between buying art supplies or gas station food. You will most likely choose gas station food.

- You will develop a love/hate relationship with Mac computers.

- You will make a Spongebob reference almost every day.

- You will be an optimist. You will tell yourself that you're an optimist. You will tell yourself that you used to be an optimist. You will forget what it was like to be an optimist.

- You will make sure that you always go to class. Then you will miss class every few weeks because you slept in/got high/stopped giving a shit.

- Eventually all of this will lead to you making an uncharacteristic, melodramatic list of crap at 4 in the morning.

HAPPY EASTER.

but the sign outside says leave me alone~

Is anybody else obsessively listening to the new Panic! At The Disco album? Or is that just me? IT'S SO GOOD. *foam*

So yeah, haven't seen much of me around here lately...I've been busy with other shenanigans. And uh, a lot has happened recently.

I'm now in the last workshop of the semester. It's Portraiture. Painting faces. Our faces, our classmate's faces, naked strangers' faces. All goddamn day. It kinda sucks but I'm getting a lot better at painting. We're getting down the to wire what with there being only a handful of weeks left in the school year, and soon we'll be scrambling to put the end of semester show together. And then next year I'll be a sophomore in Animation! FINALLY!

Nicole, Merriam, and I have an apartment set up and we'll be moving in in August. I'm so excited! I can't wait to be out of this tiny ass dorm. But um, Merriam and I broke up, so I don't know how that will go.

I am in the process of getting supplies together to make stickers that I hope to sell on Etsy. Anybody interested?

In other, less important news, I finally saw Tangled! Gawd, it was beautiful and adorable and I really need to see it again. It's also finally getting warm enough to wear sandals everyday WOOOOO.

I have tons of stuff I need to post, so I'm gonna go get on that now.

The ups and downs of this and last semester have successfully rolled my life up into a big ball of wtf and I've realized that I feel differently about some things I thought I was certain about. Hell, I don't just feel different, I am different. I feel like I've changed so much, and not in a good way. But that's not a discussion to be had here.

I'm getting new glasses today because my old ones inexplicably broke on Thursday while I was at Merriam's over spring break. I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT A BREAK LOLOLOL--*shot*

I'm back in Burlingame right now and it's soooooo nice to be home, but I'll have to leave tomorrow. I wish I had another week off. I'm not ready to go back to school yet!

I kind of got sick again this week. It's just a cold though, and I think I'm getting better. My head is all stuffed up with snot and yuck and I'm coughing a lot, but that's about it.
