very "me" things

Occasionally, I go through my computer (and by "occasionally" I mean "rarely-ever-almost-never", if I'm going to be completely honest) and when I do manage to scrounge up the courage it takes to delve into the dark abyss that IS my computer's hard-drive, I come across all kinds of useless photos, gifs, videos and pngs. of just... shit that I saved however long ago for whatever reason thinking that I might use it for so-and-so but never ended up DOING it, or, maybe I did but just never got around to deleting it because even in the virtual world I am THE #1 Queen Packrat of the Century... a lot of it probably got posted on facebook at some point or another, or, perhaps, I just... wanted it. To keep. For an indefinite amount of time and for absolutely nothing. Whatever the reason, every couple of months or so I end up with a CRAPTON of just, well, you guessed it! Crap! USELESS CRAP! A crapton of useless crap, in fact. I've had some of my more technology-friendly friends literally gasp aloud when they catch sight of my desktop, which normally looks equivalently as gross as the floor of my bedroom - a complete and total unorganized mess 99.9% of the time (the other .1% of the time that my desktop is clean can be compared to the kind of tidying-up that includes just, shoving crap in heaps underneath the bed... I end up making one of these babies:

and calling it a day... does anyone else do this? I'm sure I'm not the only one, right? ... right???)

ANYHOW,

moving on,

I am in desperate need of a clean-out! I guess this is some kind of form of SPRING CLEANING, if you will, just, instead of sweeping and dusting and organizing my closet I will be going through the entirety of my computer (fucking GULP, wish me luck! I MAY NOT COME OUT ALIVE!). I'm going to post some of the random photos and things that I have collected over the months... and months... and months... 

You get the idea. I've decided to title this "very 'ME' things" because a lot of this stuff truly reflects the things that I am interested in as, you know, a person and I think having them all side-by-side on my blog will be pretty neat-o to see. I don't have a LOT of the sources for the photos I'm about to post so, if you see something that's yours or if you know the source of something, please, feel free to leave a comment below so I can fix it! Okay? Cool. Here goes nothin'!

annnnnnnnd I'm done.

 Truthfully, I have a lot more (a lot a lot) but I'm going to spare you all the rest of them... for now. I think I'll continue doing posts like these, though. Going through all of my old stuff and posting it has been a lot of fun for me, and this crap just barely scrapes the surface of all the other junk I have tucked away. I also have a whole other computer I can go through so, I hope you enjoyed this little photodump. It's nothing much but I think it really says a lot about me personality-wise. I hope you're all having a great week (all... 2 of you that read my blog, haha) and please leave comments if you want, I don't bite (hard! ha ha... ha ... ....) ! 

SPRING

SPRING is almost officially here and i'm feeling SUPER INSPIRED artistically,i'm not much of a winter person TBH, mainly because in cali winter = slightly gloomy days and a drizzle here or there with cold nights that make 0 sense because snow isn't a thing so what's the point of it being fucking cold? like why is it cold if we don't get the benefit of a winter fucking wonderland? i hate it. and i don't like rain v much either. i also spent like the last 3 winters being seasonally depressed and drinking myself into what i like to call the SAD COMA so, no. winter, befuckinggone, and welcome spring! and summer! and art! so SO much art x_x

usually i'm just an avid doodler but this season i am going to try new things, like painting, and making things with mana beads and working with clay and photography. when i'm in a bad mood i don't want to doodle as much and i get discouraged about my art easier so hopefully i will move on past that.

here is my first ever painting:

which was more of an experiment rly and less of an actual painting, but now that i know that it's a thing that i can do i am TOTES STOKED and gonna make art all the time. so. expect new things from me. n_n

other things i am hoping to do:

- skateboard more

- wheat pasting

- making stickers

- finish my zine

- make t-shirts

- learn how to sew

- get more film developed

- weaving/knot tying bracelets

- cook better/more often

- have more outside adventures

- sell my art (WOW)

- roller derby

- learn more about makeup application

- d.i.y. shit

- meet more artsy people

- make musiq

what do you wanna do differently this spring?

um doodles

just an update on my latest doodles. you can see my style shifting slightly and i'm p happy about it. i am becoming more and more "in tune" with cartoon bodies imo and although it's not exactly EASY for me i am at least kinda starting to get the hang of it... which is something, right? sashiko aka wishcandy came and visited me last week and while we were kickin' it she gave me some p solid advice about pushing yrself and making things happen thru practice and perseverance and consistent online posting. she also gave me a deadline to complete my zine, nay sayer, and it's sometime in may or march i believe so i had better get to work on it, huh? (i would also like to point out in a kind of sidenote that she is an intelligent, beautiful TALL creature with cute lil dance moves and good taste in movies. hopefully we will hang out again soon!!!) anyway, here are my d00dles, i truly hope you like them... or i at least hope that they don't make you wanna scratch yr eyes out. and if they do then you can go fuck yrself because i am an amazing artist. ok bye!
