I AM DONE!
all caught up with my past portfolio drawings!
YESSSSSSsssssssss

but...

now i have to work on my current assignments for this week.
it just never ends does it?

dreary sunday...

its the end of november almost. how time seems to fly by. i look back and wonder where the semester went...but at the same time it seems so long ago that i was bored every day of the summer, sitting around just waiting for something to happen. i dont completely understand it, but maybe we're not meant to grasp that concept i just dont know.

this weekend turned out a lot better than i would have thought (even though it was spent at home) brielle came over and me, her and steph watched movies last night. can i just say that johnny depp is frickin sexy as edward scissorhands...

odd, but true

i have no idea why i think that but i do.

anyways...

me and bri stayed up super late catching up and talking about life and such. i always have such good conversations with her and it only makes me miss my best friend that much more when i am at school.

now im just kind of bumming around the house (i should be starting my last drawing soon, but i needed to write before i did anything else.

random new things...

major: art (studio emphasis?)

minor: spanish / journalism

current favorite movie: elf, yes man or edward scissorhands (could those be more different?)

to say the least i cannot wait to get back to school. sometimes i cant stand being here at home. i wish i could take the things i really missed back to school with me...like ross and steph. and maybe sammy. then i wouldnt need to come back home ever at all.

i cant wait until i can move out and be on my own. it sounds like heaven right about now. i wouldnt mind moving half way across the country either...or world for that matter. i want to be my own person and find who i am more than anything. sometimes its so overwhelming that i dont know where the heck i am going in life or what exactly i am going to do. but then again at the same time its kind of cool that im just taking life as it comes. i guess we will see. there is so much yet to come and so much that i want to accomplish.

well, this was a random post if i ever saw one. i guess thats what happens when you stay up too late and are trying to put off massive piles of homework (im sensing a pattern...) anyways, i suppose its time to 'do work' as my friend Justin would say. im out.

grey,

annie em.

OC.

i have ADD and cant focus on my art at the moment, so im going to write a bit about a current obsession of mine...

OWL CITY.




they have really cool lyrics and i like how a lot of the songs are just about life. its awesome and always seems to put me in a good mood.



and one last song that i am addicted to...




and the best part is that adam young is from MINNESOTA! way to represent.
adam seems so genuine and quirky (i do like quirky...) and i recently read this on owl city's website under his blog.

"I wake up every morning, hit my knees, and wholeheartedly thank God for allowing me to do what I do. I am endlessly grateful to Him for the time that has been given to me, for allowing me to be apart of people's lives in some small way, for blessing me in ways that are utterly indescribable. I am left speechless. Breathless. Overwhelmed."

who can't admire a guy who first and foremost thanks Jesus. gotta love it.

art saves my life.

soo...over break i am doing all my catch up work for drawing which is fun and hellish at the same time.

my room is currently a disaster, with art supplies everywhere. its close to insanity. but at least i am getting stuff done. with finals coming up its good to get everything i can out of the way.
when i do art its like everything else fades away and its just me and the piece i am working on. i could seriously do art for days and not even know the time has passed. i guess thats when you know you've found your passion.



my room..in all its glory.

anyways, its off to work work work on the ink drawing thats in the picture. and listen to owl city. yum.

creating,
annie em.

nostalgia.

"cold nostalgia chills me to the bone" - OWL CITY.

have you even not been able to think of anything but the past?

over this thanksgiving i kept thinking about fall semester of college last year (and spring too) and how everything seemed so much more carefree and fun. i have all these memories that randomly surface and it makes me miss last year so bad. all the fun things i did over first semester (actually got sleep...ha) and the people i hung out with. watching movies in nelson 1st floor lounge at least twice a week, not having massive mountains of homework, taking over bethel's campus on rollerblades with steph, going to the gym with stephie, living in Katie and Nadia's room for like 2 weeks...the list could go on and on.

life only gets busier as we grow up and it seems like it gets more complicated too.
