I've been busy. Between trying to get away from campus before 5 (which hasn't been happening, due to painting, mostly) and studying for Spanish or Genetics or Chemistry or something, I just haven't had time to create. I guess I could technically post pictures of my paintings, but they're horrible. Really. They look like the very elementary Beginning Painting paintings that one would expect of someone who has never handled oils before... or much painting at all. So no cookies for you.
On the other hand, my mother has acquired temporary custody of my pony alphabet and that pastel horse portrait, and won't stop showing them off every chance she gets. /sigh. I hope she gets prints made soon so I can get that portrait pushed on to its commissioner...
I've bought more books, yes. Naughty me. Goodness, I need some relief in the form of shelvage!
Also, my man thinks I have Brown Recluses shacking up with me. Can't get a decent photo, but here's a sketch I sent to a buddy who happens to be an insect enthusiast...
I draw really lightly. I'm sorry. It doesn't scan very well. And it was a quick ID sketch so it's not exactly glamorous. Brown Recluse? Mebbe. I hope not.
Also, I've been nominated for the Stylish Blogger Award! Really? I guess they're scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point. I really think I'm the last person in blogland to recieve this... and as such, have no idea who to pass it on to. So let me know if you haven't gotten it yet, and I'll be happy to pass it on!

So here goes...
!. I'm 25, and a senior in college, studying both Art and Biology, and hope to go into Genetics, because it's sure to pay a whole lot better than being an artist.
@. I'm wierd, and tend to be really nerdy. I can definately nerd out a the average person on a number of subjects.
#. My drug of choice is books. (are books?) Classics in general, fantasy that tends towards high fantasy, plus the occasional Michener and Anne Rice. If they're hardback, and cheap, it's just unfair... I have to have it.
$. I also adore kitchen stuff. Do I cook much? No. But I like to think that's just because I'm usually only cooking for myself, since I live with my little brother, who is perfectly content to huddle in his room with some Easy Mac. I have plates and bowls and cups coming out both ends.
%. I am hopelessly impulsive, and my man has been carefully chosen to balance that trait out.
^. Speaking of him, he gets annoyed with me for decorating his otherwise very bare apartment. I come home with stuff for him as often as myself, and can take credit for pretty much all the aesthetics there. He secretly loves it.
&. I love to know how to DO things and MAKE things. Crochet, leather braiding, sewing, carpentery, metalwork, painting, crafting... It's an obsession. To be able to MAKE your own clothes or MAKE just the right decor thingy, or to MAKE just the right piece of horse equipment, or to even able to change your own oil (which I do), is incredibly satisfying (and definitely cheaper!) My man's the same way, and that makes me happy! He understands!
So that's it. Like I said, I have no idea who hasn't gotten this already. I think pickings are a bit slim when they get this far down!
Sorry I'm a bit dry today. Just slightly exhausted from workout soreness, walking around campus, and just knowing that there are impending genetics and chemistry problems to tackle tonight. I know I'll be getting some decent sleep tonight, so you do too! Adios!
