LOOK WHAT I FOUND ON CRAIGSLIST

It sucks when someone cancel on you...its been last few days that my girlfriend is changing plans at the last moment and it seems that we are gonna break up very soon. I was counting on her for today evening but she flaked out and it hurts now. I need to get over this girl and as per a famous anonymous philosopher, you need a girl to get over another girl. So, I am posting to find a cool girl who can help me out. I am 23 yrs old UT student, who likes to live life every moment. Hit me up if you want to know more...

PIE CAT

It's kinda a bad quality photo but this is what I painted for Alex for his birthday. He knows nothing about it yet and hopefully it will be dry by tomorrow because it's oils. But he wouldn't tell me what he wanted me to paint just that he wanted a painting and I took two things he liked and created pie-cat. It's a little wonky but I'm okay with how it turned out.

HIPSTER COW





So, I went to a customer service class for my job at local ice cream joint Amy's ice creams and somehow got to talking to the people there about designing a "hipster cow." I'm looking at it kinda like a logo design. I did a few sketches today of just a few heads and this was the head I liked the most. Digitalized it and cleaned it up. I'm sure eventually I'll need to put a body on it but I was just playing with cow heads for tonight. I'm not sure yet if this is the style I want to go for but it's the first and most natural thing that came to me so I'd like to be able to just go with it. It's nothing super amazing but it is what it is. Just glad I drew today. I don't know why but I always get stressed when I try to talk to my parents about art. Opinions would be nice but I guess the only opinion that matters is Amy's.

GUESS WHO'S LAZY!?

So, I just got home from yet another uneventful night at work. I'm at a point in my life where I really don't know where I'm going. I feel like this is a common thing now for kids of our generation but it seriously sucks. I'm tired of having to hype myself up to get anything beyond a minimum wage job. I thought that college was supposed to help you get jobs beyond that of ones you can get in high school? This is my whining because I'm too lazy to decide what I really want to do with my life.

I've been sitting around too long every day not really doing anything so I can't really complain. Life isn't bad but it's nothing worth bragging about. It also sucks when people expect "great things" from you. As nice as it is to have people look up to you it doesn't make me want to but my ass to fulfill their expectations. My goal for tomorrow is to clean before I have to go to work. It's technically Jacqueline's birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACQUELINE). I haven't been able to get a hold of her today but she talked to me two nights ago and informed me that she failed what I assume to be all her classes and won't be graduating this month. I had been hoping that we would get an apartment during the summer but now I don't know when she'll be able to move over here if she's not graduated yet. I'm sure she's more stressed out than I am but still.

So, now my Dad is thinking maybe it would be a good idea for me to move in with my older sister because her roommate disappeared and I guess my parents are having to pull the weight of that. If life wasn't so complicated then I would actually be tempted to move but would it really be a good idea? I'm actually pretty used to my current roommate and although the space I have to live in is tiny and almost everything here sucks it's really not that bad. It's very close to where I work but if I got a job within the month closer to where my sister lives I may think about moving. I really hope my roommate doesn't depend on my rent to get her through the month because I am not a permanent fixture.

That being said, I think things are progressing well with the boyfriend (I know I haven't told you much about him yet). I meet his parents supposedly this weekend so that should be interesting. He just moved into a new place and was kinda stressed out about all the paper work and financial responsibility it takes to buy your first house but I'd say for a 23 year old to be worrying about that kind of stuff he's doing pretty good for himself. More than I can say for me. He told me if I painted him something he'd hang it in the house but I have no idea what to paint/ what he would want. He has a birthday coming up in June (any ideas welcome). I need to paint more someday. For facebook stalkers there are recent photos my mom tagged us in where I look like I'm in pain but it's only because I don't know how to smile in photos.

It's too bad life can't be full of having fun and being around the people who make you happy and doing things you're actually good at. I'm starting to get hungry so I'm going to try to old eat to get sleepy trick and hopefully at least accomplish cleaning my room tomorrow. You know how hard and painful this task can be. More rants coming your way soon. I need to send out my real letter so you can be filled in on the past 5ish months of my life.

Now to combat the Visually Appealing

So Ashcan's post of a Sexy Dexy pic (shut up. Rhyming is cool) instantly reminded me of this certain type of Japanese doll known for its pretty features, emo expressions, and hefty pricetag. Like this one:

But I'd forgotten the name and decided to Google Image search my way back into knowledge. I typed in "dolls Japanese". Aaaaaaaaand this is what popped up:


In retrospect, I don't know what I was expecting.

(Oh and the one I was actually thinking of? They're called Super Dollfie. Doll number two's pic is taken from Pink Tentacle and is one of a series of images of dolls that were apparently used as obstetric teaching devices. Helpful learning tools or no, the pics still come across looking like some serial killer's wet dream. Actually kind of worth a view.)
