Anecdotes to Learn From

Here are some more "visual" ideas of what art life is like in my little world of fun and insanity. Along with my usual anecdotes.



At my school there are two high school dorm buildings, each consisting of three floors and are connected by the "connector building." The two buildings are called Sanford and Moore.
To get into these buildings you need a "one card" which grants its wheedler access to virtually any high school building.
Also I have gained 5 pounds

One day I woke up at the usual 7:00 a.m. and got ready super duper fast. I decided that I should go back to sleep seeing that I had half an hour to go until Algebra II. I set my clock for 7:55 and snuggled back into my clean Ikea duvet. 
To my despair my alarm failed to wake me and I saw through my sleep blurred eyes that it was in fact 8:18 and I was late for my 8:00 class. 

Remember Pam?

I have a younger brother who recently turned I think 11 two weeks ago. He decided to take a trip to the south's favorite theme park CAROWINDS! I didn't want to be stuck with overly excited parents and five preteen boys so I begged requested that I bring a friend of my own. My delightfully overwhelmed mom allowed me and so my theme park adventures with my beloved Stuart began. 
We wandered along by ourselves and got into the line of "The Carolina Cobra"
The line was the shortest of all the rides that we had seen so we were only standing for about 20 minutes
However, when it came our time to strap on the plastic and eat our own stomachs, the ride broke down. 

We were assigned a project recently in Pam's glorious class. It involved many patterns so it's easy to make your composition look muddy.
I thought I had achieved a new level of cleverness when I made all my patterns based off of the human body. Not according to Pam.

During my two months at this school I have learned many things.
1) you are not learning art, you are learning how to be your at teacher
2) If someone is wrong then they will get their ass handed to them later in life so you don't have to bother
3) Forget sleep, you don't need that shit anymore
4) Showers pssssshawwww not important. Artists are supposed to be stinky
                        

We were handed a task one day after we "drew" sound. Take down any pieces of newsprint that don't portray the sound correctly. my good friend Austin began to rip down sheets and the feeling of ripping the hopes and dreams of children from the wall overwhelmed him. He ripped down everything in sight with no proper reason. 

If you have ever heard of the fan fiction My Immortal then you will understand this. If you have not, please cover your virgin ears and run away whenever the atrocity is mentioned. 
Well, my lovely friends Austin and Bailey, both aspiring artists, were reading the horrible abomination with me in a small artist studio that stank of ball sweat. 
For those of you who have read My Immortal you will understand how hard you laugh when it is read out loud. 

Hopefully you have learned from my little fables:
1) Lord of The Rings jokes are ALWAYS funny (to a point)
2) Clocks are shifty bastards
3) It's still morning at 1:30 p.m.
4) It takes a lot of energy not to cry sometimes
5) Shower yourself in work and you will feel like crap.
Shower yourself in water and you won't smell like crap
6) Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, keep your art away from Austin
7) Fart jokes... he he he
