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...

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.)

UNEXPECTEDLY SEXY

DAY OFF
My internet is so slow it makes me want to cry. No work for me today. Yesterday I was called in early to be prepared for a local fundraiser. No bueno. So I'm looking for a new job. Applied to a few but the one I'd love to take is to be a receptionist at an animal hospital. The boring life of a college graduate.
I feel like your life is only as exciting as the people you keep in your company. Being an anti-social hermit does not help. It's hard to know if you are doing the right things with your life but I KNOW that me sitting around doing absolutely nothing is the wrong thing and yet, I just keep on doing it.
I tell myself things like "I would draw more if I had a workspace and a drafting table" or "I would exercise more if I lived in an apartment where it was free and convenient." It's too easy to find reasons not to be productive.
For example: Yesterday I got a reply back from my craigslist trollings the night before. I had messaged someone who seemed serious about having a work out buddy. I was hoping it was a chick seeing as they were adamant about dieting, yoga and making personal goals but I wasn't too surprised when I discovered Bill, my middle aged potential rapist. After explaining to Bill that we weren't what the other was looking for I went out to buy myself some on sale cookies and candy, take a nap, go to work and eat a foot long corn dog, eat ice cream out of boredom, and receive free fries at the end of the night. Needless to say, I was not the workout partner Bill was looking for.
I am however supposed to be working on illustrating a few short stories that I haven't really felt motivated to work on. I usually find myself fighting with my internet or playing pokemon till I have a boredom nap. I'd like to have a hobby that made me happy but everything I want to do requires me learning how to do it and it's more a pain than it is fun (knitting).
Here's a list of things I need to do: put gas in my car, get a new front wheel on my car, eat lunch, shower, pick up my package from ups/ make ups deliver it to me somehow (they're being bitches), sketch for the story I'm supposed to be illustrating, find my bike keys, find a new job. I haven't felt very motivated to do anything productive today. I've called around a lot about my package and why they won't deliver it to me. Currently waiting for a call back that I probably won't get. I'm starting to think they took my number down wrong. The funny thing is my package is my GPS. I suck at driving and if I want it I have to drive somewhere 30 mins away which gives me way too many opportunities of getting lost when they could have just set it outside my front door 4 days ago when it got to Austin.
I'm currently playing a game with myself called "pretend not to be clingy and needy" game or "make him talk to you first/only speak when spoken to" game. I may or may not have made things awkward with the current boyfriend by being lazy and indecisive and inviting myself to stay at his place while he went to work (hoping to take advantage of his high-speed internet and hot water). I was denied and told it would indeed be "weird" so I've felt like a creeper ever since and am playing the "I totally don't need your attention" game but it probably won't really work because he assumes I'm asleep if I'm not talking. It's too bad that you have to dumb yourself down for most people to be able to handle your awesomeness.
Here's a fun family update: Yesterday my younger sister Callie had to have surgery to remove/drain an abscess she discovered in her crotchel region. This fast growing puss wound is thought to have been caused by "shaving." Thank you world for making me paranoid about yet one more thing. And I've been needing to shave my legs....
I'm off to eat and not exercise some more today and maybe get one thing on my list accomplished even though I'm not in a showering mood.

OH RIGHT, A TITLE GOES HERE.
I am excited and intimidated and excited and intimidated but if I had to pick all the petals off this ~flower of inspiration~ it would probably land on EXCITED.
(And that is just a taste of the kind of prose you are about to be subjected to on a probably infrequent, rabidly inconsistent basis. Shakespeare levels here, peoples.)
((And there will be sarcasm. I'd brace for sarcasm.))
(((aaaaaaaand first forced edit goes to: FORGOT TO PUT A TITLE. Smooth move, Ferguson.)))

AND SO IT BEGINS
I'm curious to see how things will change by moving to a new medium of writing. My goal is to post things that need to be shared more frequently and draw more sketches and find more creative ideas through ranting. This is one more attempt at phasing out Facebook because it SUCKS and doesn't deserve the attention I give to it. This is a blog for sharing and holding nothing back. NOTHING. From one link, to a photo, to a sentence, to LARGE BLOCKS OF TEXT all is welcome. I have high hopes for this blog and *waves flag* MAY IT BEGIN!
