Have you ever had one of those days where your not happy but you aren't sad your just ok? Well, today was that day for me. Nothing great happened and nothing pissed me off. I felt "eh". I know that's not word but that's the only way I can describe it. But there are always moments unexpected moments to be exact that take you out of that funk. From a cute baby looking at you in awe to having a good laugh in drama class. So today was *sigh* day but I know where to go to let that *sigh* dissipate at least for a little while. :)
The still life drawings were just like the others just having to keep looking at the object. Then draw what you see not with your memory. But I didn't get why we had to draw see through still life's. They were easy to do the I think I did pretty okay. Then Alexis helped me with giving the drawing definitions to make mt last drawing look more defined.
I have a few "best friends". I have two very best friends, one guy friend and one girl friend. Everyone knows that Beth is my chick best friend and I think that most people can guess why. But this story isn't about my girl best friend, it's about my boy best friend. I used to date a boy named Mike. He was a sweetheart, but an obnoxious flirt and he sucked at helping people out with their problems because he was far too blunt sometimes. We fought, like most couples do, but we really cared about each other. Apparently he didn't care white as much as I did, or in the same way that I did. He broke up with me and I walked away broken-hearted, shit happens. For a few months after the break up things were hostile. We got into more fights after our break up then we did in our relationship, but we could never just give up. We worked our asses off to talk to each other and to be friends and we eventually accomplished it. And now, we love each other maybe more than we ever did. He truly became my best friend. Whenever I need someone to talk to I go to him and he never knows what to say and we get into huge fights because we both have a temper and know how to get under each other's skin. But… We always go running back, every time. I know that he tells me what I need to hear, even if I don't like it. And he knows that i love him and I can get a tad bit emotional. You've never seen two people more like a married couple. The only problem with this scenario is that I really haven't loved any of my friends as much as I love Mike, I've never cared about a friend like this at all. And everyday I sit here and talk to him and pretend that everything is okay because at the end of the day I'd rather have him as my friend than nothing at all. And everyday he talks to me and hugs me and sends me poems, never knowing the truth. And I can't bring myself to tell him, I can barely admit it to myself.
You know what I rediscovered? Coloring books. They are awesome. All my
childhood fun has come rushing back to me. I got two coloring books for
my birthday along with a pack of colored pencils. I was home last night
coloring in my fairy coloring book and was having a blast. I get such a
fulfillment from coloring inside the lines. It's great now because I can
easily stay within the lines, but when I was younger it was hard for me
to meet this fulfillment because I was quite uncoordinated with
coloring (like many kids are).

My family is extremely diverse - to the point where, if you were walking by, you would probably mistake it for a group of strangers congregating in the park, rather than a family picnic. These are my cousins Sydney and Cameron, who, despite our physical differences, we are related.
