That's My Sister.

Right now, as I am typing this up, there is a kickback going on at Eddie's for his, mine, and Kelsey's birthdays. But of course, I have to be at home, away from everyone, and bored as hellz.. just waiting for Crystal's phone call.

And why am I not at this celebration? Well, that's because of last night's drunken mess: my sister. And thanks to her, my parents have gone crazy with the curfew rules. How wonderful.

So, until 1:00, or whenever my girlfriend gets home, I will be up with these three boxes of food from the Cheesecake Factory, probably watching Edward Scissorhands, and NOT having fun with my friends at the party. I can see it now: someone asks me why I was a no-show. My reason? "Ohh... well that's cause of my sister."

Thanks, Melissa.

You're the color,

You're the movement, and the spin.
I've had this song on repeat for the past 30 minutes.

But the past few days were pretty amazing. Minus all the family bullshit, of course. My birthday, which felt like 3 or so days, were nothing less than awesome.

Midnight birthday kisses, pancake breakfasts, funfetti cupcakes, dinner at BJs, pizookies, tennis (lol) and movie night with my girlfriend, feasting, surprise adventures to the Getty, Kabuki, cheesecake, presents, and cuddling = BEST BIRTHDAY EVAR. And then kickback this Saturday? I haven't gotten drunk in a while, so it can possibly turn into a disaster.

Pink or Blue.

So like I said earlier, I need a 70% in the class and a 50% on the final to pass math. And like I also said earlier, the final was so very fucking hard, that I needed to spend $140 in an overpriced art store just to calm down for a while .

Well. There must be a god, cause I passed exactly with a 70%. I got a stupid 66% on my final but whatev. Math can fucking suck it.


So now....

this color?

Coupons.

I had my math final this morning at 9:00, and that bitch was damn difficult. I need a 70% in the class and at least a 50% on the final to pass the class. My current grade is... not that nice. I've never been much of a math student. So, I'm pretty scared. On my way home, I decided to stop by Aaron Brothers to pick up some paint brushes and a canvas board. There's nothing as soothing and calming as the smell of new, unused art supplies. I ended up treating myself to an early birthday present.

About $140 were spent on 6 itty-bitty tubes of oil paint, a bottle of linseed oil, one quart of turpenoid, a basin, matte varnish, Pink Soap brush cleanser, a 24 x 30 canvas frame, and a sketchbook.

Oils are expensive. It's a pretty big investment, unless I can learn to be really, really thrifty with my paints. Needless to say, I got carried away and forgot to buy the brushes. But my budget wouldn't allow it anyway, so I guess its all fine. And if it weren't for those three coupons I printed out, I would've had to pay 50 dollars more. So I'm not complaining. But it would be so completely awesome, and the-best-present-ever if I got some natural-hair oil brushes for my birthday.

Just saying.

Figure Drawing.

Today was my last figure drawing class.

-

And I'm both relieved and sad. I'm excited to start focusing on my art outside of school again, but I'm incredibly depressed as this was my most favorite class ever. And I had the best professor, who was incredibly funny, and kind and laid-back, but extremely knowledgeable and tough as well. I didn't even mind waking up everyday at 6:30 and dealing with morning traffic, and the expensive costs of parking passes, and the frustrations of my morning class, just as long as by the end of the day, I got to draw.

Here are some of my favorite studies from the course.
