*sad face*

1 year of ruthless brainstorming, drawing, printing, cutting, sticking, anotating, ripping, sweating, crying and binge eating out of the way.

can't believe it's finally over.

somewhere in springvale

Today, dad and I bumped into an old hairdresser during lunch. He commented on how big I'd gotten, and asked if I remembered him. Dad answered for me and said no, seeing how it was so long ago. As he walked away, I remembered who he was. He was the only hairdresser who made me cry after cutting my hair like a boy's. FML.

how to save a life

I've just grown a deeeeep amount of appreciation for nurses and doctors. And it's not just coz they save lives on a daily basis but because they have the courage to believe so much in themselves. i sound kinda stupid and nonsensicial at the moment, but i seriously think medics are so so brave. like to have that much responsibility over someone else's life is incredible, and so reassuring to know that they have that courage to help.

My sister brought home a baby possum a couple of days ago which she was assigned to look after until it was old enough to go back. it was a tiny little thing, maybe the size of your palm at most. i admit, they're not the cutest creatures when they're a baby, but they're still very tiny and frail. we had it for roughly 3 or 4 days until it passed away yesterday. for some reason i felt oddly emotional about it (maybe coz i felt so attached to it, seeing how i took care of it the most) despite the fact it not being ours to keep. then i began to wonder how brave doctors and vets are to not be so emotionally distressed. it sounds like a bad thing, but for me, i don't think i'd be able to handle it. so much responsibility on one person (probs more) like, i wouldnt know what to do or where to begin, which is probably the reason why i'm not going to become any of those things. its made me appreciate and admire them that much more. Kudos to those who are going into that field. I think your amazing and brave and specfcukingtacular. keep doing what you do ;)

A is for Art, and Angry

Okay, so I've set out all my methods books out ready for an awesome night of probabilty distribution and the like when I stumble upon something that sort of makes my eye twitch.

It's not that we don't acknowledge good art when we see it, but we connect to certain things more than others. We don't plan to cause fuss over people's work, but rather express genuine adoration for it. Lol we had a whole topic of bloody Whose Reality, surely we can never assume there is one perception of an artwork but several? I understand where you coming from though. It hurts when your work doesn't quite get as much attention as it should compared to the effort that was made for it. But that's not WHY you're doing it right? Why produce work for the sake of how much attention it will have?

Honestly, i wouldn't cause such a fuss over something so trivial, but when friends are concerned, it becomes a little personal. I don't appreciate it when a good friend of mine is criticised on their work, or when their freedom of speech is discriminated against. Unknowingly, you've judged them, after claiming they have no right to judge others? They have every right to say what they want! Especially when they mean no harm.
You may disregard this, because it does not comply with your opinion, but it doesn't make it right. You may not give a fuck about what i have to say, but you should at least consider the things you DO say potentially offensive. Essentially it is your own opinion of the matter, but this is mine.

It shits me up the wall when people think they're the centre of the universe.
