also, i've been thinking about my art history today. i know it sounds silly, but i really call it that. since i was teeny tiny, i wanted to be an artist. a painter. but everyone said that artists don't make any money. so i stopped trying to want to be that and started looking for some other niche that i could aspire to fit right into. but i never really found one that other people approved of. everyone else wanted (and still wants) to be a doctor, a marine biologist, a teacher - something that is clear, something that is precise and that you go to school, get a degree, and get a job. but nothing i ever seemed to like worked into that pattern. i remember distinctly being very embarrassed and oh, maybe disillusioned (is that the word) when i found out that "the business" was hard to get far in. by that i mean show business. being an actress. that's the one thing that's been steady, and it's not practical. not one bit.
okay, okay, i'll stop complaining. i've done four responses for the dual credit english assignment, read about 2/3 rds of the way through, and marked about half way through. I wrote bits and pieces of an application essay today. it's the schreiner one that i'm starting with, and i'll be recycling it for several other schools and scholarships. and i've applied for quite a few scholarships already. we shall see how the chips fall.
and now some great parodies of a WWII eara poster:
from 3 Lambs Studio.
I highly recommend looking through
the photostream. every print is great,
and they sell many of them on etsy!
come now, you can't have really
thought that I was from
"across the pond", as they say?
ps - that one's from google.
ah well, i suppose that'll do. i'm going to drop off both fill rolls tomorrow at walgreens and then after i get some theatre hours done, i'll be back here to show 'em off. cross that they come out good!
- p.
