My perfect tattoo literally came to me in a dream. This morning, I woke up and I had an exact idea of what I wanted my future tattoo to look like because I was dreaming about it. Strange! I sketched it before I lost it.

Speaking of drawing stuff, I had my first art class yesterday. My teacher? AWESOME. He is SO COOL. I am going to adore art this year, and hopefully do well in it. I already have a vague idea for my final piece- Exploring identity.

Maybe it’s just me, but I get really excited when someone recommends something to me. Especially music. It’s like, cool. I want to know why it makes you happy/feel that way/enthusiastic! I really like people.

My posts have no substance lately. It’s like I’ve lost the ability to think about subjects for long periods of time…! (It’s happened just in time for school)

The new Sharpie Minis are very cool, and vibrant! When I draw stuff with them, they make me think “pop comic book art”, and they give everything that addictive pop art look that is good for inhaling.

Tumblr is pretty. I have one: Vexel. It’s good for posting small thoughts that aren’t ‘worthy’ of an entire blog entry.

School starts again in 5 days. Nooo! The fact that I’m posting more often is a defence mechanism: When I start school my posts will be few and far between.

Is it really that bad that I think we will never achieve social/racial etc. equality? I’m not negative, I hope, just… Realistic. I think the important thing is that we still try to achieve it. Know what I mean?

Also! Please download this song: Depeche Mode- I Feel You. It’s very, very good! It can either be about drugs, sex, love or God. Depends on how you look at it. (Listen to it?) The lyrics are here.

Brother, Mum and I went to the city a few days ago! It was fun. We went on a cruise, a Ferris wheel and lots of different art galleries (Under my insistence- they aren’t particularly artistically inclined…). When we got home, I realised that we had been walking for about 6-7 hours. I didn’t even notice! I am sure it was because of all the fun we were having. Unfortunately, didn’t get to do that much shopping (Our school supplies had been bought the day before) but it’s great to know how much fun you can have in the city for under $80. Considering all the stuff we did, I think that was pretty good.

Sometimes I wonder if my youngest cousin (4) will grow up thinking that Morgan from Bananas In Pyjamas has anger management problems and B1 and B2 are are actually sarcastic bitter jerks.

I mention these two facts to her everytime the credits roll for each ten minute episode…

For a while I’ve been working on setting up a new writing portfolio- Breathings Of The Heart was just getting too luncheon meat-ish and I’m starting to hate CuteNews because I’m so used to using something better. Spam is the bane of every bloggers existence…

The writing portfolio is now here: Vocalize! I doubt that many people actually read the writing there, but for those who do… It’s now here. I’m satisfied. It’s more organized and neat. Most of all- It’s spam free! Yes.

I am searching for cinemas near me that are playing I’m Not There. Haven’t been successful yet. I’m going to diiiiie if I don’t ever get to see Cate Blanchett play one of the greatest folk musicians of all time!

I also watched Brokeback Mountain a few days ago. All I have to say is: What’s the big deal? It’s a great movie, but… I don’t see why it was such srz biznizz when it came to the male/male love scenes! Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s happened a lot with actresses? I’m sure there’s the female equivalent in Grindhouse… Or American Pie? Either way, I hope that it becomes recognized for being a good movie that happens to be about two gay men, instead of being recognized for being a movie about two gay men that happens to be good. It deserves it!

My future art teacher? He dresses like a goth! He wears black 100% of the time. He is also slightly mad. He looks a lot like an older version of Tim Minchin, except with black hair. He is very passionate about art- Scarily passionate about art. In our orientation he swore at two guys who were mucking around. Of course, this only made things worse because we laughed. A teacher, swearing? He cried, indignantly, “This is me! I won’t try to hide. I don’t see the point in censoring ones language…” etc, etc.

We laughed even more.

To be honest, he intimidates me a bit, but only because he’s so intense. Which is why I’m celebrating that I finished the artworks for the class! Yaaay. I would put them up here, but they’re big and would take a horrible amount of time to upload. I like them. They are drawings. I hope my art teacher will like them. I am not sure if one my people is a woman or a transvestite…

According to him, to be successful in his class all you need is passion for what you are doing. I… Can’t tell you how happy that outlook makes me! It’s refreshing. Although, yes, he did say that because we chose the subject voluntarily he expects us to have some sort of knowledge, even if it is vague… Har.

Regardless of his questionable sanity, he is a good art teacher, so I’m looking forward to art class! That’s all.

Oh, yeah, and my blogs review has finished! Amanda wrote it and you can find it here. (It links to many useful articles that are worth checking out)
