Turns out what I was feeling was Limerance, not actual romance


which means things are not as bad as they seem, and I didnt miss out on something wonderful after all



In other words, it was just a sprain- no broken bones



i intend to make a full recovery

I must say I like the campus. It has a great mix of greenery and city, and im getting familiar with the street layout.

However, I'm prematurely stressing over finances, as I'm still waiting for my various loans to go through. For all you high schoolers out there- dont wait until the eleventh hour to worry about loans and crap. *sigh*



Still, I know what needs to be done, and I'm doing what I can. So I'm keeping my worrying in check. However, I'm limited to the library's computers until I get one of my own up here, preferably the one I left behind at home.


In other news, I've been doodling again, which is a good sign that more art is on the way. Assuming that is, I get my scanner working. Its been acting retarded alas.


But, I'm going to cut myself short, as I have other things to attend to. So, I bid you all a dieu, and god bless!

And yesterday I finally got some contacts. One word:


HALLELUJAH



I can see! Granted, taking them out and putting them is a pain in the ever-loving ass, but I'll get used to it. And I also picked out some really cool rimless frames that bend like crazy and arent metal.

It was the most amazing book I have ever read.


I won't go into detail as to the plot; its far too good to spoil- but think Jane Austen meets Tolkien.


I advise everyone who has ever enjoyed magic to go read this book.


Be warned tho; this is traditional English magic, not the flashy Harry Potter stuff.

BC- The Baker's Crust. Place of my current employment. Where I am a prep cook, sometime fry-man, sometime dishwasher, and all-time apparent useless bum, perhaps, in the eyes of the head chef, Jerry, Mr. Best Friend of the Bald Guy Judge of Top Chef. Argh. But, despite this journal being a supposed repository for any and all of my thoughts and feelings, I will not rant or go off like most. I'm better than that....but I swear if I hear him say, "Ok lets hurry it up, get it done" over and over again..argh! I've come close to tears quite a few times, but then, that might just be because im a pansy-ass queer. Its entirely possible.

GAL- Getting A Life. I'm getting there. I don't do much besides work, other than scoot by in History 2 and scrape by in Precal, but I'm very, very happy to say that I might

ACTUALLY
FINISH
A
PIECE
OF
ARTWORK!

...


God. Am I that sad? I'm on deviantART, without a single real piece of work to my name. But honestly, as long as I've called myself an "artist," I don't really think I've ever felt like one. Just cause you can put lines together a bit better than other people doesnt make you an artist. Nor does taking art classes and passing them with mediocre grades. Its having the drive, the motivation, the excitement of drawing that makes one a true artist. And for a long time, I havent felt it. True, up until high school I adored art. Loved it. Worshipped at its altar. I look back now at all the "art" I did and cringe, but those crappy doodles made me feel proud back in the day. But when I started high school, something changed, and I no longer ad the drive I used to. I figured I could skate by with just an occasional drawing here and there, but they became fewer and fewer. There were so many other, better things to do! TV, AIM, haning out with friends, doing stuff, having a life (such as it was)- these replaced the me that loved being alone in my room, content to explore the four corners of an empty sheet of paper. I ceased to grow as an artist, but continued to call myself one. I even continued to pursue a career in it. I almost went to AI for chrissake.
It was taking AP Art Studio that made me realize that I was no longer an artist. I avoided drawing. Avoided it. Every assignment (that I even attempted) was a chore. My heart wasn't in it. You know what I got on the AP exam? A 2. A fucking 2. No, I didn't really try, but wow. I've called myself an artist for how many years, and get a 2 on a national exam that judges how fit you are as precisely that. Ridiculous.
For the past few months, I've pretty much given up on art, possibly doodling a little (its in my blood, after all), but really accomplishing nothing. I've mostly just been trying to figure out what to do with myself, seeing as I have only one real, honest to God friend in the whole world, and don't really do much with my time. And I'm slowly realizing that I've been doing art for all the wrong reasons, much as I have been living my live for the same wrong reasons. I've been living for others, trying to please, tailoring myself to suit those I hoped would love me. In doing so, I stopped the growth of my true self. I'm so far behind everyone I know, in so many aspects. I've never been in love, though I was with someone for over a year. I inadvertently took a year off from real school, so now I'll be a year behind all my friends. I'm only just sort of getting close to my family, who I've kept at arm's length my whole life. I'm starting to care about being gay; trying to get over self-loathing and the fear of rejection, as well as trying to straighten out my relationship with the Guy Upstairs. I guess I'm just taking a stab at growing up, and getting back to the things that are important to Patrick Cowart.

maybe, for those of use inclined to being used, a little selfishness isn't a bad thing?

Still, slowly I have been becoming more reacquainted with myself, as well as my art, and I think I'll be taking up my pencil once more. I have renewed vision, and I really think that I can really do it this time.

But the one thing that troubles me is that it seems I'll always have to choose between familial peace and love, or a boyfriend's love. Seems I wont be able to have both.

It probably woulda helped if id played the game.


Yeah yeah, everybody and their sister knows that Aerith/Aeris (so many spellings!) dies at the end. Big whoop.


But you know having the whole party reunion, touching though it was (that Cid fellow was smokin btw), probably would have been cooler had I known them before the movie, you know?


But the fight scenes were kick-ass (literally) and the graphics...


Well.



I was speechless.



And it occurred to me then... this is the sort of stuff I want to do. I want to make this sort of stuff. Cus its friggin sweet.

Not only that, but I've been struck by an atrist's block the likes of which I've not had in a LONG time its like all my artistic inspiration is gone poof! (i wonder where... )

But yeah the majority of my "block" comes from my inability to create unique character poses. Lame, eh? But there it is. It'd be nice if i just had a big ol list of poses to choose from... :sigh:

The basic plot of the "game", or more acurately, the world itself, is that it is a different world altogether. The 3 main Gods, Veltorin, Raevyn, and Ilcario, mostly the latter two, play with the peoples of the world and the world itself like a chess board.

To spice up their game, so to speak, they have taken various individuals from our world and placed them in their own. They've taken people from many different eras, leading to a mix of different cultures and ideas. That, mixed with the indigenous cultures and peoples of the world, which currently doesn't even a name yet, really, makes for a very unique playing experience.

This isn't your typical elemental rpg, but is more about the struggle between good and evil, or Ilcario and Raevyn, respectively. This is a world of angels and demons, werewolves and faeries, humans and elves.

The possibilites are endless....

Unlimited
The damage is unlimited
To everyone I've tried to help
Or tried to love
And, oh, Joshua, you're the latest
Victim of my greatest achievement
In a long career of distress
Every time I could, I tried making good
And what I made was a mess!

No brief kiss goes unpunished
No act of liberty goes unresented
No such deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was he really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all those deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All lustful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let every one be agreed
I'm hopeless through and through
Since I can not succeed
Joshua, forgetting you
I promise no such deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No such deed
Will I do again! ]]> ~Telpelin http://Telpelin.deviantart.com/journal/6332551/ http://Telpelin.deviantart.com/journal/6332551/ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 09:33:41 PDT

School is coming....

And I'm too dang smart.

It would seem that being in the "advanced" classes is not wonderful as it sounds. Most of my friends are perfectly average in classes. I, on the other hand, is in mostly advanced classes, for a junior.

Thus said, it looks grim in way of having friends in my classes...

*sigh*

Ah well...should I be surprised? Its amazing (and a little scary) how many of my friends moved last year.. WHAT IS IT WITH TEXAS?? Its like a vacuum I swear! I've so far lost like 5 friends to that black hole...

Its even more ironic when I remember that Madrigals is going there this year for our spring trip...
