Lacking gonads

[friezaess]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so almost got my hands on a really good story for my journalism project today about some douchebag in my class and his shitty company's dodgy practices. I was about to ask him stuff when BOOM! CRIPPLING STOMACH-CHURNING RIB CAGE-STABBING MIGRANE-INDUCING SOCIAL ANXIETY! I left without saying a word to him and on the verge of throwing up.

I think it had something to do with the fact that we were in a creative writing tute and had just had a story writing exercise. I would've been happy to ask him before that exercise but I think it messed with my perfection complex and so on. Ugh. Maybe I'll get to prod him next week, but until then I have been watching this repeatedly to try and comfort myself TT___TT

=( perfection complex?

I remember that clip. ...... mmmmmm >_>

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

Basically has to do with setting myself impossibly high standards and is the reason I can't draw anymore. Amusing seeing as everything else in my life has the standards of Mexican meat pies >_>

YOU RIKE BANANA?

=| do a pollock? Loosens you up, cuz it doesn't matter what it looks like in the end, it's the process :D

Wait... this sounds like a call for using non-digital mediums. YOU CRAZY, WOMAN

[vysanthe.livejournal.com]

Wowwwww. Maybe that's it. Yknow I always felt digital as very constrictive for some reason!? Even though you can undo and undo.. Sketching IRL is like, more casual. less pressure? o_o

also I just lost the image i was working on just then. fecking computer. T_T

Oh I agree entirely, digital art just feels unnatural and restrictive. It's not the same as getting down and dirty with a 6B and shading the fuck out of something before killing it with coloured pencils. Or my personal favourite- copious amounts of black ink applied liberally with a brush. Damn you woman, you're making me swoon like a schoolgirl!

You wouldn't happen to know if there's any cheap life drawing classes in the region would you?

[vysanthe.livejournal.com]

Inkkkkk, fun. I suck at it though :O

I imagine there's a lot? My 2d media class is doing life drawing next week or week after though.. maybe you could tag along.. xD

And nah it was only like 15 min sketch I was doing for a reference for the make up artist I'm going to work with on my experimental film (hopefully)~

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

Meh, will prolly be at Uni- post some nekkid chicks on LJ for me :D There used to be these awesome life drawing classes with a burlesque theme in the valley of a night time. I wonder if they still exist.

Good luck with your experimental film... I hope your computer doesn't devour your work again. What a kick in the gonads :(

[vysanthe.livejournal.com]

OH yeah I remember those, I had the bookmark saved somewhere... Dr..something.. um when I get home Ill send it to you^^

My computer restarts itself like 5x a day so eh -_-

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

Also, yikes! What happened with your pic? Please don't tell me you'd spent like 8 hours on it TT_____TT

[vysanthe.livejournal.com]

oh also btw did you happen to be at the convention centre today at anna bligh/springborg's debate? The MC said UQ journalism students were there. I was working. There was like a two hour gap between lunch and dessert, and half the people buggered off before dessert arrived so we had like 250 extra -_- Parfait in sponge with meringue, strawberry/compote and mint. Nyummmyyyy.

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

No, I wasn't there. I didn't know about it- I should be more on the ball with these things >_> (Probably 3rd years anyways.)

Aw, I wants Parfait! OM NOM NOM!

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RITE? Do you normally watch their shows? I've only just gotten hooked and am catching up on all the epic moments.

Having to write stuff around other people is stressful - if your tutor lets you volunteer to read out what you've written, though, you can do any old crap and it doesn't matter. I used to just scribble down stream of consciousness stuff and then listen to the showoffs.

Have a lookee at this vid (it refuses to be embedded): http://nerdnirvana.org/2008/02/15/late-night-stephen-colbert-vs-jon-stewart-vs-conan-obrien/ There's gotta be Colbert/Conan/Stewart porn out there...

[friezaess.livejournal.com]

Oh God, thank you so much for that video. Goddamn Jon was hot (and short) back in the 90s, lulz. I agree on the porn thing, it just has to exist. There's far too many unemployed fangirls out there...
