Tonight was the show closing. It went really well, everyone enjoyed the art and I enjoyed people watching. Since I am with broken foot I just found a chair and sat there and let people come to me. My favorite part was when people first walked in when they saw all the food. They faces lit up and then after they got food their faces lit up again as they saw the artwork. I think that is the best part of a show… to be able to watch people and their reaction to your work. Sadly though I didn’t sell anything, actually no one did (which is not uncommon). I wanted to sell at least one piece to hep pay for framing cost, but maybe there are some buyers still to come. I’ll stay cheerful about that though but I’m not going to hold my breath on it.
UPDATE: I have a buyer for my safety pins painting and my silverpoint! If those both go through all of my framing cost will be covered! ::victory dance::
UPDATE UPDATE: I have a buyer for my Gipsy mastercopy! Wooo wooo!
I haven’t been posting in a while, it has been busy. The new semester started, 2 jobs, internship at CAM, broken my foot, lots of doctor visits…. ech. I’m feeling okay even though I am on overload. The closing reception for the show is this friday, I have that to be excited about. That and on the weekend I get to do something that I haven’t gotten to really do all week, I get to sleep!
On a side note, I’m in this color and the figure course with Connie teaching it and every class is like an orgasm for the brain. It is truly fantastic to have something like that at AAC!
So…. I just got home from the ER. I did break my foot and I’m going to be on crutches for a min of 6 weeks. But while I was there I asked the doctor to check out my back, it has been painful for about 2 1/2 to 3 months now. After she chatted to me for a little and figured out a game plan they ran some test. I found out that I have a kidney stone, UTI, and a cyst on my ovary! I don’t even want ovaries and they are still giving me hell! lol, well I guess if I’m going to fuck up might as well do it royally!
I fell down the stairs the other day at Victor’s place, today I’m heading to the ER…. this is a shitty way the start a semester
I’ve been feeling super clingy lately and I don’t understand it. I’m normally very independent and actually have a hard time dealing with others that need a lot of attention. But I just don’t get it, all I want to be lately is cuddled and to feel like I’m doing everything I can to be a “wonder” significate other. But I can’t feel that way with Victor since we have seen so little of each other. First he went to CA to spend Christmas and New Year’s with his family and when he got home classes started right away for him. Then I left for NY a few days after he got home and I have classes starting up shortly after I get home.
I know that I’m going to be super busy with classes, work, and my internship and all that doesn’t leave a ton of time for him and he is busy with classes, labs and studying so there isn’t much time for me on his end. I just want to have a relationship that is more than seeing him a few times a month… it would suck to have him live so close but to only see him as much as I would see someone in a long distance relationship. And I understand that he needs a ton of time to study for med school. He is working so hard for his future and I love that because I’m doing that same thing with art. I completely respect that and that is the first that that drew me to him, maybe I just don’t completely enjoy not being first. This whole thing could be me just acting needy and childish but it has been on my mind lately and writing about it helps me figure things out.
I just don’t like the long distance attitude… if someone want to be in a relationship act like it. I’m high maintenance and I know this, not in the way that I need a surplus of gifts but I’m emotionally high maintenance. I want to feel like I’m in a relationship and if I don’t feel like I’m needed I don’t see a reason to be together. I’ve been like that for as long as I can remember, I just try to hide it at times. Just because I want to do things to feel needed doesn’t mean that I feel like I HAVE TO do them. For example, I enjoy cleaning and cooking for the person I’m involved with so they can enjoy life and be able to study better. Now, never do I feel like if I’m don’t do that that I’m letting them down. I want to be and feel like I’m appreciated and not just expected. (This is what separates me from the 1950’s house wife… that and I don’t really want my furniture wrapped in plastic…)
