Hidden Spring

The forest was her throne with a crown, of sticks and stone
jewels, lay in the dirt where the seeds of fern would grow.
The trees remained her castle towers, kept safe inside the moat,
her hollow voice spoke as the wind and to the river's ends she follows.

Just Kidding

Did I tell you that I am secretly going to grow up to be an old cat lady... and when I do this is going to happen (these are "beat boards" that I did for storyboard university)....

1. I am going to tell everyone that I am the most awesomest crazy old cat lady ever...

2. People are going to start giving me cats...

3. And more cats....

4. Those cats are going to leave little presents on my pillow (like mine did on April 4th).

5. I am going to get really angry.

6. Instead of giving all the cats away I am going to prove that I am still the most awesomest crazy old cat lady ever...

7. By opening an extermination business.

BAM!

Be Right Back:

1. I planned a cinder block vegetable garden (and laid out the cinder blocks):

I still need to actually start growing stuff....

2. I put out an ad for roommates and I met the three that I will be living with....

Alyson has to dye her awesome hair into a natural color for her job, but doesn't it look great?
Ari is Japanese :)

3. I joined a writer's group.

So you're writing about mermaids... I guess my nymph story doesn't sound that strange.

4. Oh and this happened....

And that is after twenty minutes of scrubbing and soaking. The other hand wasn't as bad.

Stupid printer trying to poison me...

My Thoughts Exactly:

On the 4th: Crisps Attack Us!

On the 12th: Cat Upside Down

On the 15th: Dive

On the 21st: Forever Alone

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GOING ON MISSIONS!

I'M NOT.

On the 26th: First Attempt - Sarah O'Maid

Here we are at the end of February and so much has changed. I'll be paying for utilities for the first time in my life, I'll be doing my own grocery shopping for the first time in my life, I'll be fending for myself for the first time in my life. It's about time. Really. I applied for a food server position at an old folks home... so if I get that job then I don't know how much time I'll have left to be able to commit to my creativity. I know there is so much time everyday, so it is possible, it most certainly is possible. After this week, helping my sister and her family move and then going on a winter retreat... maybe things will calm down just a little. Here's to making new friends and developing talents! Cheers! - April

Scripted: Ravioli Vignette

MY SISTER

Oh hey April, thanks for house sitting.

My pleasure.

MY SISTER

As always you're free to eat anything.

Okay.

MY SISTER

There's a ton of pasta in the fridge.

Okay. Have fun on your trip!

24 hours later all the pasta is gone and BECAUSE I ate all those carbohydrates I'm craving even more. As I scrounge for food in the cupboard I come across a can of ravioli.

Oooh! Perfect, I'm going to eat this ravioli.

I then spend about ten minutes going through all the drawers and cupboards searching for a can opener, but to no avail.

I REALLY want to eat this ravioli.

I take a device that in some distant age was probably used to puncture aluminum cans to get the liquid part out. I have no idea how to use it.

I AM GOING TO EAT THIS RAVIOLI!

I spend about twenty minutes tearing apart the can so that the hole is big enough for the pieces of ravioli because I love it when the pieces come out perfectly. Amazingly, I do not injure myself.

YAY! RAVIOLI!

I then take pictures to forever immortalize one of my happiest moments of my life.

This is what life looks like...

This is what life looks like... when you don't plan things out:

Crappy watercolors...

look better from a different angle.

Sketches of Mischief look best from two angles.

The Summary, Character List and Vocabulary of my novel provides a new angle of reference:

Guide to Oblivion

And depending on your angle, life can be good or bad.

PERSPECTIVE!

Imaginary Deadlines:

March 26th : Ninja Mailman

April 30th : Drivers License

May 28th : Oblivion

August 27th : Episode One

Explosions of Epic Adorableness

Puppies playing in the backyard. All of them have been sold except for two of the spotty girls.

And I know that I should really move one from Doctor Who, but how can I resist sharing the epicness: this Poster my friend gave to me as a late b-day present. Arigatou Gozaimasu!
