Hello dear DeviantArt friends.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FINDS BALL-JOINT DOLLS THE MOST FRIGHTENING, TERRIFYINGLY UNNATURAL LOOKING THINGS THIS SIDE OF PHIL SPECTOR?

Seriously...I'm sorry if anyone reading this is a fan, but those things just freak the shit out of me. And I don't understand the eerie obsession some people seem to have with them. Dont. Undestand. They're just creepy on so many levels. And I like creepy stuff.

Okay, no more ranting.


UPDATE TIME!!

-Summer = More free time = More time for art
Unfortunately, I'm feeling extremely creatively stifled for some reason...more so than usual. It's extremely irritating and frustrating. X< I'm trying to loosen up by drawing all sorts of really bizarre things in my sketchbook. Thinking about doing some of this 'speedpainting' all the kids are talking about. We'll see what comes of it.

-Bought Team Fortress today....for the PC this time so it will actually, you know, work. I really enjoyed it last time I played it, so I figured it was worth the $20 it cost...plus I have a lot of friends who play it!

-Been reading Sherlock Holmes lately....should have done so sooner. It's one of the better things I've read in the past year, and I love it. If anyone reading this, like me, is a literary reject and hasn't read it yet, I would suggest DOING SO. NO REGRETS.

-Need a different computer mouse very badly.

-Trying to think of an ingenious solution to practising my violin when I go to college without making enemies of my entire dorm. So far.....no success.

-Apparently I have to do two self portraits over the summer. Am I the only one who is sick of self portraits? I know some people really like drawing themselves, but I'm getting pretty tired of it. :< And it's my first project of the year, so I need to make it good....first impressions, my friends, first impressions.

-Depressingly, haven't had much time for vidjamagames.


So, anyone else done anything awesome so far, or have any exciting plans for the summer?
