YAY, ESPN3's streaming el clasico! So pumped for this~

My friends got me a RM Ozil jersey (the purple CL away one!) for my birthday, and I'm hoping it arrives in time for Monday!

Happy thanksgiving, you guys!

 what i've drawn this summer. 

oh god i hope the lj cut works because if not these pictures are ass-sized.

I FEEL LIKE ONE DAY I WILL GET A REAL SCANNER AND SCAN STUFF... instead of just taking pictures and having to edit in photoshop (which probably takes longer than scanning would, actually, but i'm honestly too lazy to dig out a scanner, so.) i need to anyways, because i think i'm going to do a visual arts supplement for college apps. i keep saying i'm going to organize my work but i never actually do :\


SPEAKING OF COLLEGE APPS. my family is being really helpful and supportive and nice by giving me all these tips and suggestions for essays etc., but all it's really doing is making me even more reluctant to start. idk i want to skip the next six months and go right to the partying half of senior year, hahahaha.

 OH MARIO. FINALLY. <3 <3 <3 i'm so proud

btw i have art to post...... soon.................... i'm trying to get organized for college apps and i've come to realize that i hate about 99% of what i draw. 

 OKAY GUYS I'M LEAVING NOW FOR CALIFORNIA SO I CAN GO STALK REAL MADRID AT UCLA :D







LOL J/K I'M NOT 

but i actually am leaving for a week for a conference/workshop at a college that apparently HAS NO WI-FI.......................... so i won't be able to go online for a while! (and i'll miss all the dramatic transfer rumors lolol)

to all the cool new kids from _football, sorry i am so lame, you'll probably find i'm boring anyways! all i do on here is post crappy old sketches but yeah


SEE YOU IN A WEEK

i'm totally busting my ass on this comic strip for art, and it's not even like... halfway done. and i need to finish by monday in order to submit it to artscape!!!! sucky. :|

i have to say that quite frankly, this has not been of the better spring breaks. you'd think that all the quiet and introspective alone-time would have propelled me to drawing something worthwhile, but unfortunately that has yet to happen. everything i create is focused on textures and has a pretentious name like 'effigy' or 'elegy' or 'phototropism'



anyways, i was thinking today after running (note to self: do not run in the cold. running in the cold gives me headaches.) when im all grown up and married in my ideal life with my ideal house and ideal job, im going to shanghai my ideal husband into buying wood planks from the local home depot and building me a terraced herb garden on the back deck overlooking our ideal backyard (green green grass, hammock, lots of daisies)

there's maybe room for a zen garden in there but i'd have to work that in with the landscape artist

of course this is all speculative









i really love richard siken's poetry. he was the first poet i ever really admired so he has this special little corner of my heart
