I hate posting videos that have no actual visual purpose, but I love this song and I didn't feel like finding another song

Cyclops?

For drawing homework, I had to do several self portraits without taking the pen off the paper for 1 minute then 3 then 10... and this one was the best one (this was one of the 1 min drawings)

in the middle of the 10 min drawing, my contact fell out... i did not realize this until i ran it over with my pen (quiet unfortunate) so for the rest of my drawing i had to close one eye because it was giving me a headache to have one out of focus so it looks like i only have one eye...

Mmm. Sleeping

I just had the craziest dream. I was driving in the rain and I had to park far away from where I live which isn't actually where I live (my subconscience makes up the most realistic non existant places where I live typically). I was pissed about parking far way because it was rainning but I got out of my car to run to my house (which I never got to see) and there were chickens everywhere. I was just running past them like it was no big deal that they were there just hanging out in the rain in this urban dream setting. Then my phone rang. that was upsetting.

someone's got a stalker!

I just don't understand the phase facebook stalking... if someone willingly put that information out there for people to read then why do they consider it stalking when people actually read it? I mean they took there time and thought into writing what they did on their profile, and then when someone looks at it they are shocked and appalled

I don't consider myself one of those people who spend too much time on facebook, I've got other things to do, but i have occasionally been accused of facebook stalking... and to those who i have supposedly stalked i would like to apologize for looking through the photos that you just posted from the party last weekend, I did not realize that simply looking through them was creepy in any way and i wish to apologize in advance if you post any pictures in the future

plus calling it stalking just makes it sound so creepy and slightly horrifying when the information is put on there to be looked at

speaking of creepy ... check out this video


EDIT to post (feb 23): i retract my entire statement ... i've discovered just how creepy people can get when facebook stalking

things i dont understand

my friend found this glorious blog today where this girl finds something almost every day that she doesn't understand and doesn't explain... (sounds kind of lame the way i explained it but it's funny... occationally)

http://thingsidontunderstandand.tumblr.com/

so in avoidance of writing my paper which needs to get done asap i shall also make a list of things i don't understand (but unlike the girl in the "things i don't understand" blog ... i like discussing these things):

- why they are called bangs? who's idea was that?
- why art always has to mean something? Can it just exist for the sake of the process behind it?
- pot stickers...
- kittens inspired by kittens (youtube it)
- my irrational fear of mischa barton being under my bed (the Sixth Sense) causing me to purchase a night light... but in my imagination it's never little mischa who is trying to kill me or something... it's adult sized mischa (even scarier)
- the allure of themed parties ... because you can't wear dresses with big sleeves and bows and sequins to just any party
- my roommate's theory on kids being like drunk people
- bra art - http://www.quiltersofsc.org/artfullbras/artfullbras.htm (that has to be uncomfortable, but once it's art would you not wear it? what kinds of bras do the makers of these artful bras actually wear? It seems more like a craft than art)

similar to a gang fight... if i knew what a gang fight looked like

how to sculpt without using your hands...

in sculpture class i wasn't allowed to used my hands to make the form of the sculpture... so i had to make paddles in the wood shop (which is very scary because of all the sharp objects one could impale themselves on) and basically i just beat the crap out of the clay until it looked like this. Beating something up wasn't as fun as you would think...

there was golden retriever present at the birth of baby jesus?

that was my dog, Hogan... and the dog from my mom's nativity scene of the entire village of Bethlehem ... my sister and i always put the little golden retriever right next to jesus ...

the village scene also includes an elephant ... which my mom doesn't bring out anymore because of all the places that the elephant has disappeared to

small revenge

at the joshua radin concert earlier this guy (who was deemed home boy) was blocking my friend's view of the stage ... home boy is abnormally tall (actually he's around the average height ... everyone at this concert seemed to be abnormally short) ... so i do what i normally do in situations such as these ... small ways of revenge ... i throw a piece of gum at the back of home boy's head ... it didn't stick ... then i ended up with it stuck to the bottom of my shoe ... karma i guess


winter

the real reason you toss and turn

my friend just showed me this awesome video ... it's beyond cool ...



i have to share it ... slash save it on here so i could watch it over and over

Work made funny ... well to me at least

it's my favorite time of year again at work (because you have to made work fun somehow right?) ... cheesy senior pages for the yearbook. exciting i know. So I was typing up all the lovely sentiments that parents have written and what not and came across the most glorious one ever.
at the end it states as followed:
"You are the flower of our family; (yes they even included a semicolon) carry our love in your heart and sow the seeds of peace, hope and joy"
you can't get any better than that ... I just want to know if these people talk like this on a daily basis

the next greatest was:
"you achieved what you set out to do four years ago, and you kept your scholarship.
We wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors. Love, mom and dad"
what? ...
