Grades:
Art History: A-
2-D Design: A-
Persian History: B+
I really skimmed on those ones. Especially since I hardly studies for the last Art History exam, was absent for most of 2D, and totally turned in my final research paper three days late into Persian History.
I got lucky. |

More good news.
Zine hired me for $50 a cover pic.
The avatar job went through and Mac and I will be collaberating with sprites for $35 an hour
Need to e-mail vanguard about the $25 an illustration job over the summer.
So I'll be making roughly an extra $300 or so a month, ontop of the $800 at Blue Fin.
Cool beans. |

The good news never ends.
My Art Research Paper about Artemesia Gentileschi's Judith has been graded. 90/100. Normally, I'd be unhappy. Except that the teacher graded me down based on citation issues (Art History citations are fucked up), and requested I personally edit and re-submit the paper for student competition.
She wants me to go for student competition.
Jesus, life is amazing right now. |

Good to see old friends at Andy's party.
Bad idea to indulge in party favors.
I was so paranoid by the end of the night, talking to anyone was making me nervous. Hell, when I got home, I was even having a hard time falling to sleep because I thought the ceiling would eat me.
Thank you so much Holly for the ride (you saved my life), and Stephi & Andy for awesome fun.
Homework has become my name for the next month. So exciting. yaay.

Watching Pride & Prejudice + Rereading Pride & Prejudice = Heaven.
Its funny how characters and people's interactions change very little even after two centuries. Makes you think.
Some fascinating bits - Boy Band Formula
'After scouring the country for five boys who could belt out tunes while doing the splits, (Lou Pearlman) assembled a clean-cut collection of effeminate white and Latino-looking boys, all pink cheeks and crew cuts with peroxided tips. Just like the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, there's the cute blond guy, one with curly hair, the dark one with big dimples, the guy with the funny facial hair and the less cute, but really sensitive, guy.
Pearlman herded them into a tiny apartment, forcing these guys in their late teens and early 20s to share bedrooms (hey, less opportunity for illicit sexual activity - at least with the opposite sex), and forbade them to stay out past midnight. He dressed them in coordinated red and silver "rave" outfits and spoon-fed them sugary-sweet lyrics like "Would I cross an ocean just to hold you ... Would I give up all I have to see you smile?" And then he set them loose on concert halls full of 12-year-old girls, who dutifully screamed their lungs out in a kind of mass orgasm fueled by all that scrubbed-clean testosterone.' - Janelle Brown, "Sluts and Teddy Bears", Salon.com, 2001.
And -
Jane Austen's study of character in her short novel Lady Susan -
"Jane Austen demonstrated her mastery[citation of the epistolary novel genre in Lady Susan, which she wrote in 1795 but never published. Although the primary focus of this short novel is the selfish behavior of Lady Susan as she engages in affairs and searches for suitable husbands for herself and her young daughter, the actual action shares its importance with Austen’s manipulation of her characters' behavior by means of their reactions to the letters that they receive. The heroine adds additional interest by altering the tone of her own letters based on the recipient of the letter. Thus, the character of Lady Susan is developed through many branches as Austen suggests complications of identity and the way in which that identity is based on interaction rather than on solitary constructions of personality. Lady Susan’s character is also built by the descriptions of the other letter-writers; but even though their opinions of this heroine coincide with the image that develops from her own letters, Austen demonstrates the subjectivity of the opinions by presenting them – primarily – in the letters of one woman to another, thereby suggesting the established literary motifs of feminine gossip and jealousy. Readers recognize these subjective motifs and examine all of the idiosyncrasies of the characters in order to create their own opinion of Lady Susan – as they would of any real acquaintance." - * Austen, Jane; Ed. Peter Washington (1996). Sanditon and Other Stories. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.

Spring break. In less than two weeks. yes
Finals. In less than two weeks. no
Super Smash Brawl is fun. Pretty to look at. So pretty its distracting sometimes.
Crossing my fingers for A's and McKenzie's summer internship.
Looking forward to Aurora's birthday dinner tomorrow.
Loving life one drink of water at a time.
Also, the depiction of Jesus derives from Bacchus/Dionysus, Apollo, and Roman Philosophers. Did you know Mount Olympus contains thirteen gods? Jesus + 12 disciples = 13. Makes you double think a few things. I personally believe Jesus did exist, but I also believe four hundred years of political history will warp a few things.
Just a thought.

Also - McKenzie's first collaboration with me.
I suggested a Britney Spears de Milo, he suggested the worshippers.
I drew the worshipers, he photoshopped Britney's head on Venus de Milo.
It was for an article about celebrity worship.
So far, its my favorite piece for the vanguard. Moreso than the writer's strike. It's just hard not to look at and be repulsed by it.

I'm 22. I don't feel any older, but I do feel like 21 was a profound year. Profoundly impacting.
I haven't become a different person, I've just found the person I was all along. I've finally settled into my identity, my manifestation. I know who I am.
I used to care too much how people thought of me. I cared about what my friends thought of me, and so I acted a certain way that I thought appealed to them. I just cared way too much about taking care of people to the point of treating them the way I thought they wanted to be treated, or being overtly annoying when I wanted them to like me.
Now, I just stopped caring. I've become selfish, stronger, determined, ambitious. I'll take care of you to a point. Babysitting doesn't work, because people need to learn on their own two feet. For what I learned, I am thankful.
I've found my inner bitch, and quite frankly... I like her a lot. She's sticking around for a long ass time.
My hair is still blue and will be for a while. In many ways, it is a reflection of the change I had to endear. I'm not ready to move onto the next book of my life, but lastnight I turned to another chapter.
Life. Is. Fucking. Amazing.

Made up a quotation.
"Love is when you change for another person, not when another person forces change on you"
Thought it was cool.
More tea.

I am very happy this Valentine's. Sexy party tomorrow, and I'm going to dress like a 1930's-40's sleek vixen. I have a corset (60 dollars! And its double sided!) that I'm wearing under a very slinky black dress with a cut slit, and omg fishnet stockings. I need to go buy long lashes. I will be toting around my cigarette extender and have my hair styled ala Jessica Rabbit.
It will be fabulous. I'll have pics up of the sexy-stume.
Happy happy Valentine's day. My valentine gave me two boxes of amazing gifts (still in mail), will get back to you.

Skipped classes today so I could finish my art piece. Second time doing it, won't do it again. But I need to get this goddamn color theory piece done before 6.
Also, skipped so I could keep an eye on the Primaries.
Obama jumped seven points on the opinion polls in Cali, Hillary's dragging. This is good news. This is outstanding news. This means it won't be a clean sweep (I hope). I just want to see the two of them contest for the smaller states, like us here in Oregon. How cool would it be if we got to meet Obama here at PTown?
I'd be a happy bunny.

My table is cleared for the time being, but I have a whole slew of future assignments due Feb 12. Yaay.
I'm taking a week off of work for Spring Break. I really really need the vacation. Color Theory is draining me of time, ontop of Middle Eastern Studies. And I fear for that Art History report.
Yes. I am so due for a vacation on Spring Break.
Meanwhile. Alyx's Soundtrack of January 31, 2008 12:46AM; representing how i feel right here and now.
1) Trouble with Dreams by The Eels I will never let another person hold me down from my ambitions again
2) Paper Thin Walls by Modest Mouse Too much gossip & drama, and I want no part in it anymore
3) The Child is Gone by Fiona Apple I don't recognize who I was a year ago
4) Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson I'm really beginning to hate current politics more and more
5) Dreaming by Loudon Wainwright I really just want to take off this stress and sleep
I keep saying I've changed. I know I have. But I'm at a point right now where I've seen friendships slip from my fingers because of the change I've endured; I'm really no longer the person most people met three years ago. In many ways, I've moved on. It's bittersweet, but if I've learned anything from those that I love, I have a world of opportunities before me.
And for the first time, I am working very very hard to achieve them. I will not ease my pace to wait for people to catch up, not anymore. I have become selfish in my endeavors, and it will have to last.
Back to projects.
