Real Artist

You know how, a while back, I mentioned that I was going to try to learn how to make metal jewelry? Well, I decided that I will never be satisfied with anything that came from a store-bought mold. I just have this thing about wanting anything I make to be 100% mine. I don't know why, but I can't stand the thought of using someone else's designs. I guess I wouldn't feel like a "real artist" that way. So, the other day, I bought some clay which I plan to use to make the designs I want so that I can press them into other pieces of clay to make the molds. This is likely to be a giant pain in the ass, and probably not work, but whatever. Anyway, today, I finally broke out the clay and made three little things that I'm not really sure what to do with. They only sort of look like they were made by a toddler.

Joshua is a way better artist than me. Just saying. 

So This Is Christmas

Sorry there was no post yesterday. I just don't find the holidays particularly inspiring. Also, I seem to have a cold or something, which never fails make me lazy and pissed off. I mean seriously, I'm not supposed to get sick. I'm supposed to be some sort of super-human creature who is completely impervious to all disease, or so my brain keeps telling me. Aaaaaanyway, I suppose it hasn't been such a bad holiday. Yesterday, I sat around and watched Dark Angel with my dad and then Supernatural with my mom, and it's looking like about the same thing today. Also, there's a new Doctor Who tonight, so that's cool.

We just finished watching the Dark Angel episode where baby Jensen Ackles plays a super-soldier/serial killer with a thing for teeth, which is an excellent way to get into the holiday spirit. Merry Christmas to all! 

Hey, Check It Out! It Worked!

Observe, if you will, what time I am posting this. It looks like my stupid list idea worked, this time anyway. I actually got up at 6 today, the first time my alarm went off no less. This gave me just over five hours of sleep and, aside from the fact that it's cold and dark and miserable this time of day, I feel pretty decent. So yeah, I just wanted to share my tiny drop of success with you all.

"I don't sleep."

Also, my dad and I started watching Dark Angel the other day. So you can expect Dark Angel references for a while.
