It is a blistering 109 degrees in my home right now. Blech...
I'm just sitting on my couch ( trying to keep cool ) and all of a sudden, I feel this huge urge to find Irish people. I know it sounds really weird, but there are times when I just wish I could chat with someone from Ireland. Why? I've been obsessed with Ireland since I was very small, I love the color green, all the Irish people I've met are amazing, I just love Ireland, to list a few reasons. Not to mention the fact that I get the feeling I've been Irish in multiple past lives...and all of those past lives seem to be going " Ugh, WOMAN! We're home sick, go find Irish people!!...NOW."
*sigh* See, this is why I make an effort to not post things when I'm really, really hot. I become extremely random...and weird. Really, really weird.
I'm in a really, really good mood today and I have no idea why, but I felt the need to share some of my, uh...faery spirit with people who I know would appreciate it :D
I think part of the reason I'm so happy comes from the fact that I love my daily drawing prompt for today. Not too long ago, I joined a Daily Drawing Prompt group on yahoo! to help me practice and improve my drawing abilities and today's prompt is: Draw a fairy.
Yay! Golden sunbeams of happiness and joy to everyone! :D
duh, nah, nah, nahnahnah...oops, I forgot the rest of the song :/
Go me and my faulty, gold fish memory! ANYWAY.
As of about two weeks ago, I've decided that I'm saving up money to make my way up to Eugene Oregon the weekend of August 1st so that I can attend the Faery World festival up there. I'm so excited!! I've been dying to go to a faery festival since, well...since I was made aware of their exsistance when I picked up my first Faerie Magazine. Now, it's finally going to happen!
Well...I do have to get a JOB first so that I can afford to be up there, but the interesting thing about my life is that whenever I really need money, the universe pretty much goes," mk. If you look to your left, you'll see the opportunity you're looking for at this point in time. It'll give you what you need for now, so...ENJOY! :D <3 ". I know I'm going to find a job and be able to go so the next big issue is...what kind of faery costume am I going to make myself? :D
Well, I haven't signed on here in a while. Yikes *cough*.
ANYWAY, just a tiny little update, seeing as I have to go buy shoes for my cousin's wedding >.<..I'm still working on my Faery Book project, but it seems the students at my school have less faith than I thought. I've had some people respond to my request for entries, but I've had a few who think it's more fun to mock me than help me. I had one faculty member actually tell me to " Grow up" because I was being so "immature." Excuse me? How am I immature for believing in magic? If people can have faith in God, why is it so outragous and unacceptable for me to believe in faeries and all things magic? I don't understand some people's logic sometimes, I really don't. Ugh, whatever. The due date for submissions is May 9th, so we'll see if anyone sends in anything last minute.
To those who have already contributed to what I have been trying to do, I thank you. It means a great deal to me that you showed interest in my idea and acted on that interest. <3
Within these last two days I've experienced some kind of an artistic boost for whatever reason. Something kind of clicked into place and it's become easier for me to draw people. I'm really with the pieces I've come out with recently and I've decided to stick with the faery theme as much as humanly possible seeing as I draw things with wings best.
The two sketches I just put up in my gallery today make me especially happy because they are of my two best friends. The first one " The Vampiric Bride of Dero" is of Ashley ( I have her marked as my best friend in the little friends bar on the bottom of my page, and the second one is of Murphey. That's not her real name, but she doesn't like it when people she doesn't know, know her. I made her a troublesome HAT STEALING....*grumble*....pixie. From now on, she has her own hat to wear rather than constantly stealing mine...
