We've been teaching English at Japanese exchange students for the past two weeks trying to get some understandable responses... We've seen some great "engrish" shirts!

Examples include (but are not limited to)...
-"Born under popstar lucky."
-"Fight good with your frends [sic.]. They will still be there tomorrow."
-"What's wrong with being crabby?" [this was really cute because she's ALWAYS happy. And we tried to explain crabby to no avail...)
-"I love shiny babies."
-"Bread the good news."
-"Good gesture put hand on my shoulder happy."

News: I love this new watercolour stuff, still new at it, but I hope to improve over the next few weeks. I feel a little awkward breaking into manga/anime style because it's so common and there is a pluthera of amazing artists. On one hand it's nice to have the references, tutorials and help. But on the other hand, you can't be mediocre because no one will notice you. xD ^^ But I just have to keep working and it may come thru, ne?

Doing another photoshoot with today! I hope to have the pictures up tonight. ^^

10-4 over and out!

So anyway, I've been rather heavily drugged up for the past couple days (has it been a few days? I'm not paying attention...), and it's immensely difficult to type cos everything's confusing... Like, seriously, the key placement makes no sense to me atm, and it feels funny on my hands... So, er.

There was a point to this journal when I started but now I can't remember. I'll go back to sleep now...

But first! Some features I suppose...

Kay, last night was really fun. Played D&D for three hours with , , , and and others which was spiff.

But then...

There was the pizza orgy...
In the car...
Driving home...
With MattDawkins...
And an uncooked Papa Murphy's...
It all started with laughing and singing "wash that boy right out of your head..." and before we knew it, we hungrily engaged in acts never dreamed of in the daylight. The car started commenting, "oh, good one," and "thank you" as we devoured every morsel of unripened pleasure. And so the night wore on, as things came to a close, Jesus squeaked, and the lights revealed the mess we had made. We cast a horrified glance at eachother and quietly exclaimed, "What have we done?"


and I got stabbed by needles today, and I'm just now starting to feel my left ear again. woo? so happy friday. geez.

feature of the day!:
I love this style... she's fetching the moon for herself

<--yup... still in a club ]]> ~CyanSprinkles http://CyanSprinkles.deviantart.com/journal/19294169/ http://CyanSprinkles.deviantart.com/journal/19294169/ Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:36:15 PDT and thanks again for the sub!

And look! If you wondered what my facebook status message meant, you have an answer!

oh, and mood: solemn contemplation

The primitive tribe circles around a tiny pit in their dark cave. They bow their heads and grovel to the feather god for prosper and protection against the wild animals. Moments later water trickles down the stony wall. At the sound, I look up and see it's the main water pipe for the WorldView center, and in the center of the room sit my fellow college group members. Their heads are bowed, collectively uttering honest praises to our God.

...

And I'm sitting on the edge of the circle wondering, "What makes us different from the ancients? What makes us different from the Mormons or the JW's? Does God even exist?"

...

I filled a dixie cup to the brim and set it on the bathroom counter. I had just read the story of Gideon and in my six year old mind, I reasoned that if God could give a sign to him, He could very well give one to me, too. And so I spoke out loud, "Okay, I'm giving you some water, God. Will you drink it, please?" I wanted something amazing. I wanted God to scoop the water up in flames like He did for Elijah's offering. But nothing happened. No flames, not even the slightest accelerated evaporation. And so I filled another cup thinking, "Maybe it's not enough water. Perhaps if He knows more water is coming, He won't be afraid to drink the first one." It all made sense in my small mind. But the water was still there. Stagnant. Wet.
My mom came in the bathroom and asked what I was up to. So I told her and she laughed at me. She picked up one of the dixie cups and said, "God doesn't need water."
"But it's an offering!" I protested.
"Then let's thank Him for the water He gives us," and she poured out the first cup.
"Thank you for what You give us to drink," she said as she emptied the second cup.
"Thank you for the water to wash ourselves," the third cup sloshed in the sink.
"Thank you for the fun in the sprinkler," the fourth cup empty now.
"Thank you for the beautiful ocean," the final cup ran dry.
She left the bathroom, but I stared after the final drop in the sink drain.

I find myself staring after it again twelve years later, still asking why, still hurt and frustrated.

...

And so I find myself angry at God. Jealous of others who have an easy relationship with Him. I'm fighting against Him, telling Him He doesn't exist. And telling Him his religion is ridiculous, and His followers are nutjobs. But I'm talking to Him the whole time.

There's a freedom in being angry with God. There's comfort in knowing there's problems in my relationship. At least I know it's there. When I fume at God, I know He's there to fume at. And it humbles me.

<--yup... still in a club ]]> ~CyanSprinkles http://CyanSprinkles.deviantart.com/journal/19170832/ http://CyanSprinkles.deviantart.com/journal/19170832/ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:03:52 PDT bought me three months! *gives lots of squishy s!*

This is one of the many things recently that has reminded me that I really think of my friends as family. I've been super depressed lately because of my unemployment, but last night I realized that because of my work-less schedule, I can spend time with the people who mean the most to me. For the past four years, I've been so stressed out about excelling in school (despite how lazy I pretend to be) and working when I'm not in school to pay for more school that I've forgotten to maintain relationships with those people who are precious to me. Yeah it's frustrating to have to pinch and scrimp in some places, but it's brought perspective back.

It's like my grandma with severe Alzheimer's. She can't remember a good portion of her education or even who we are, but her family and her friends are still there with her, even though she doesn't mentally comprehend it. Education can fail us, acheivements are forgotten, inflation kills savings accounts, but loyal friendships stay.

I love you all, and I give you permission to slap me around if I get too serious about my career. ^.^

Anyway, back from the beach, alas no good "photography photos," but a couple good ones of myself sticking my head in a historical landmark... I would have taken billions, except I dumped my camera in the sand during a freak dune-climbing accident involving Austin... x.x 'nough said. But fortunately, mercy hath been granted to me as I exchanged my camera for a new one no questions asked. *phew!* ^.^ But there's my explanation for no good beach pics! So...

Happy Monday!

Ha, and just when you thought everything would work itself out...

So today I bought a camera (Sony Cybershot W120 in Cyan, duh) at Freddies and I strolled into the gardening section to see if MattDawkins was working. Sure enough, I found him studying weed spray. So I waved like a moron, and he gave me his typical confused deer-in-the-headlights expression (it's the exact same one my grandmother with severe alzheimers wears when the toast burns). And I must admit I was astonished myself. Frankly, I believe I gave him the look right back.

SO WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME HE WAS HANDSOME?!

um... kay. I'm going to double-check tomorrow and let you in on the details...

I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to..."--Breathe (2AM) by Anna Nalick

I came to the full realization today that all my poetry, all my journals and most of my private emotional roller coaster is public. I'm not asking your to approve of what I'm doing, or how I feel. I'm not asking you to validate it either. All my writing means something to me. Everything I post is a piece of myself. If you know me in person, you know I'm outgoing about everything but my personal struggles. I don't talk about myself on the inside. Because there's a lot there that hurts. I am in essence exposing the deepest part of me through my confessions in my journal about infidelity, the infatuation I'm most afraid of in my poetry, and my dread of where all this could take me in The Lighthouse.

In Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, the painter won't show his portrait, not because it looks like anyone, but because in it, it reveals everything about the deepest part of his nature.

I'm not afraid of my emotions and my soul being publicized. Well, no. I suppose I am, because I have a lot I live for that doesn't allow mistakes. Like other relationships and a face to maintain. But I don't care about that. I want to be honest with you. All I'm asking in return is respect. I am putting on display extremely private pieces of myself. Please respect that.
