animals

Okay, this is starting to piss me off. Today was such a good day until I came on campus and strange things started happening. I accidently stained my bright yellow cardigan with neon green oil paint. It is never going to come off. On top of that, I can't wear it until it dries otherwise it will pass the paint onto some other clothing. So now I am wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a coat. Nothing in between, I am coldddddd.
My eyelashes on my left eye keep sticking together.

Some retards in the dugout were talking about me thinking I couldn't hear them, but I could. They were making comments about the salad I was eating (ironically, I was eating a very healthy salad with couscous, they were eating burgers and fries) and then proceeded to suggest I have an eating disorder/or should develop one. I am not going to repeat exactly what was said because it was very rude. I didn't respond or show in any way that I heard them. I am not going to explain to these trashy white American boys that in 20 years time I will be laughing at their failing heart and their clogged arteries and their inability to use anti-biotics because of the amount of disgusting meat they've ingested that contains a shit ton of drugs. Also, at their decreased sex-drive, their digestion failure, their fat asses and beer guts. Instead, I ignored them and continued reading the diaries of Sylvia Plath. Apparently, being vegan and eating healthy is now considered an eating disorder.

We have to go to Comcast. FML.

Weather is horrid again, apparently it's supposed to snow. It's very gloomy and makes everyone just want to sleep. My head is hurting from the lack of sleep. All I want to do is curl up in bed with my Sylvia Plath and the cats, but instead I am sitting here at work, hearing Spanish and German, wishing I was somewhere warm and fuzzy. Thinking I should have had coffee in the morning, because now my eyes are sleepy and my head is heavy.

Now that I'm done complaining... I'll go do something productive. Meow.

secrets

So what's the deal with Laura Palmer and all her secrets?
Twin Peaks has taken over my life once again, this time I am skipping things I don't enjoy, all the James Hurley and Donna stuff, some of Josie's bullshit, Shelly and Leo. Gordon Cole is always a pleasure, but anything with Coop is the best.

My hands are so dry from printmaking, but I am now a proud owner of 6 identical prints. It's getting really hard to type because Enzo  the cat is sitting on my wrists and every time I hit the keys I have to bring his whole body up with the weakest part of my body. Oh now he is trying to catch the curser, it's his favorite game. Sometimes he thinks it's behind the computer screen. He is the funniest cat ever.

But what I really wanted to write about is this:

One day I want to meet somebody that I can tell all my secrets to. Nobody that I have met in my life knows everything about me. I think that's a good thing, but one day I want to meet somebody that will know everything about me, down to the darkest and deepest thoughts. Maybe my cat will be that person?

And with that said, I need to go celebrate my prints. And tomorrow is my last fencing class. Not very happy but happy at the same time. I won't have to wake up early any more, but I do enjoy fencing.

thats life??

Oh oh Kaisa posted yearbook photos, from when I was about 11-12. Am I so old? Yes. This was TEN YEARS AGO. Hm... let's recap?

Me, Maria, Ignat, Emily, Ilaria. BFFs? No, more like random people put together for a photo. Check out the midriff fashion going on. And the a-m-a-z-i-n-g pants.

A page about who we will be in 2016. I seem to be on the right path of what I thought I would be doing - being an artist. I'm pretty sure that's what half of it says. The other half is about how I want to do computer science and be a designer or some bullshit like that.

Me, Sveta, Enrico, Peter J, Ilaria, Veronica, Kaisa, Emily and Martina. Doing some science or something, because there is a man and his shadow. Me and Sveta used to love and hate each other at the same time.

Me and David and little Sab in the corner. I used to be so blonde, so smiley and so... happy??

Okay I am not going to name everyone, but I am in the top row second from the left, next to Kate, another girl that I had the love/hate friendship with.

Omg residential trip disco!! I am in the front in the neon pants and acid wash neon blue shirt, my hair going weeeaaaahhhhhh

Floorball!!! I am on the far right. I really miss this sport.

Me with some strange boy who I don't remember. Our yearbook makers were sOfUnNy

Year 7 play of some kind. I think it was the zombie one, I was the victim and my boyfriend was a zombie. I got killed in the end. Check out those awesome sneakers I'm wearing!!! I would totally wear them now.

After this came the years of being a goth/punk/metalhead, then my going out to clubs era, and then my indie/electro years of going to Heartbeats, making friends at ISP, and then? The last two tortured years of IB of doing mostly nothing but just really hating life and wanting to move away from Prague and go to college. Ahhh that's 10 years of being a teenager, all in one post.

a century

A century of re-defining of what art is and for what? So that an art student can say "I think realism is the most important aspect of art"? Really? Was the 20th century just a passing dream, an unreality? This is why I hate art students. They are so full of shit.... it's always either too conservative like here, or too "art is everything" like in Goldsmiths. There is never a happy medium but either way I will always lean towards the more liberal absurd definition of art rather than trying to put limits on what art can be.

That being sad, I hate deviantart.com. It's full of those conservative idiots. All the "liked" pictures are always realistic, drawn/painted with precision, is this what you value in art? How well-defined the features of that woman look on canvas? How well the brushstrokes are disguised? Come on we have hyper-realism for that. There is no freedom in art, or too much.

Completely off topic, how artsy is the new season of Skins??? Amazing shots, cinematography, sometimes it doesn't view as "teen drama" but as independent art film. Acting is awful but it adds to the beauty of it. It's so unrealistic that it makes so much more sense for everyone that was ever in the situation of those characters. For the first time, Skins is not about the most popular group of people, but the least - the freaks, and metalheads, the ambiguous sexualities, gay Dads, adopted child. Things that are more interesting than drugs drugs drugs. The second episode - no mention of drugs and alcohol only mentioned briefly. I am so impressed! The American Skins is not so bad either but I need to see more to determine if it is actually worth watching.

ifs

I have 20 minutes to waste. Go.

1. If I was going to marry anyone in this world, right off the top of my head I already know one person I wouldn't mind marrying. It's not like I love them or anything, or they love me. We have never dated, and probably will never see each other. We are not really friends. But I think if we were to marry, we would actually be able to stand each other for the next 20/30/40/50 etc number of years.
2. If I was to be in a band now I would want to be in Crystal Castles, in Salem, or in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
3. If I was to be someone famous, I would want to be Chloe Sevigny, Ellen Page, or Ewan McGregor (because he rides motorcycles)
4. If I was to picture myself 20 years from now, I see myself living in a huge semi-abandoned house/warehouse/factory/big space with lots of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc etc etc animals. But then also lots of artwork and working on videossssss

Today was such a strange day. Firstly I almost had a heart attack this morning when I saw someone sleeping on the couch and I had no idea that someone would be sleeping there. Secondly whilst digging Joce's car out of the snow I noticed bunny paw marks on the snow around the car, and exclaimed "Hey there was a bunny by the car!" That bunny was actually sleeping underneath the car. He jumped out, sprinted across the snow onto the road with cars and..... gOt RuN oVeR bY tHe CaR and I SAW IT HAPPEN AND IT WAS THE MOST DISTURBING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. THAT SOUND WHEN THE BODY HIT THE WHEEL WILL PROBABLY FOREVER HAUNT ME. I screamed and hid my face. I couldn't breathe for a few. Apparently the bunny was okay and just ran off but no, that's still not okay. That was not a nice start of the day. Then I proceeded to the art building where I dropped off mine and Zig's artwork for the student art show. Hopefully all of our pieces will make it in. After that I went to study for my exam and this dude walked behind me and said loudly "DRUG ABUSE!!!! Yeah I'm studying too". Apparently he was in my class. I've never noticed him before. In the exam I didn't have a pencil so had to borrow one, my nose got super runny but I couldn't get my tissues/roll of toilet paper I carry around because I am too lazy to go to walgreens for tissues. Then after the exam I picked up a copy of the Argus where my Letter to the Editor got published. Also, it was a good issue cause there was an article about Tranny Ball and about Eurotrance. Niiiiice. Then I came here and realized my meeting is not at 1:15 but at 1:50 so I had to waste time. And just now I realized the clock on the computer is wrong and I have not 20, but 40 minutes to waste. Oh well.

Some interesting pictures.

I read on BBC today that 1 in 10 people worldwide is obese. That counts all the starving countries. What the fuck that means in "rich" countries every other person is obese. That is gross. People stop eating so much and go for a walk instead, or send your burger to that starving child in Africa. Go vegan. I don't know but do something cause this is fucking disgusting. Here is a link to the article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12357385

Here is a picture of obese children eating McDonalds:

And here is a picture of a cute bunny:
