Inspiration!!

First of all, I've begun to wonder if anyone reads this, especially since I post so rarely. So yeah, all you non-existant readers (who happen to be reading this at the moment ;) ) Feel free to comment or something so I know you, in fact, exist. Otherwise I'm just talking to myself in writing, and that's just overall unappealing, and even a bit pathetic.
I really haven't been able to think of anything to draw lately. I like drawing people, that's been my focus of late, but I avoid men/boys (for some reason I have no ability to draw them), and you can only draw so many girls in pretty dresses standing under trees (with the occasional bow in hand). That seems to be my style, and it's growing quite boring. So, I just decided today that I'm going to put a little story to my drawings. I draw a lot of people, but I rarely draw scenarios. That's my new goal, scenarios. :) The first one that came to mind, damsel in distress, a knight (yes in literal shining armor), classic. One thing I forgot to mention, I also hate drawing multiple characters on the same paper/canvas/drawingpad thingy. That makes drawing a scenario of a damsel in distress and such pretty challenging. Inspiration to the rescue!!!! I've decided to do a series of drawings, each featuring the character at a certain part of the scene and hang them around my room. The first? Well actually I'm already halfway done with it. It's the damsel...and guess what? Yup, she's in distress. The drawing is actually focused on her face (bowed, eyes closed, tear running down her cheek) and it cuts off around the bottom of her ribcage. She's tied to a tree, or a post or something. Next comes the knight riding to her rescue. Then possibly the two of them together after she's been saved, or her showing her gratitude (probably giving him a true knighthood for his bravery). So yup, that's my project for the moment, I'm kinda excited about it. :) Now I just have to decide if I want it in color or black and white.  Oh and another message to people reading this sentence; :) I will not be posting pictures of the drawings, so you'll have to come over and check out my walls if you want to see the finished product. :)

Writing.. words. :)

I've been writing more lately. :) I love it!!! I went for a run, another thing I absolutely love!!! So I'm excited  I'm auxillary pioneering this month and our circuit overseer is here this week. :) Anyway, I have nothing more to say. Happiness today, feeling productive as of late. That's about it... Oh! I forgot! Girls' Night was a hit today, lots of pictures, and outdoors fun, and pasta for dinner. Later, we watched MegaMind which is an amazing movie!!!!!! :D Anyway...Goodnight, service in the morning. :)

Sooo....

I suppose I should tell you about the concert. It was amazing!!! Too amazing for words!! Or, at least I think it was because I can't think of how to describe it. I have a newfound respect for the Edge now, I already knew Bono is awesome.

Pictures! I have none, I was lacking in the camera department when I needed it. Plus, I was going to post some older pictures just for fun but the programming and such for the slideshow on this website has failed me. Yesterday I made chili! It was delicious and shared with great company. :)

So, it's another dreary day (woke up to snow on the ground...what month is it?!)

 and I'm home for today. I was leaning towards a lazy day, possibly finishing the shadow temple on Zelda, but the Wii refuses to cooperate. I am determined to write today! As long as my computer doesn't decide to spontaneously die. :)

Did I mention U2 TONIGHT?!?!?!!!!!!!!

OH YEAH!! Ok...so maybe I'm a little excited... but have you seen the stage?! I've been listening to the music for the past couple days...aaahhh! :) So, if you still don't understand my excitement, here are some pictures that show just how AWESOME it's gonna be!!

 Did I mention the stage rotates? AND that shiny cylinder is a giant screen!

Also, I've decided my absolute favorite dog is an Alaskan Malamute. I've always thought they're cute, but it's official, I LOVE them! Now, I just need to remember the name of this great breed so I don't resort to calling them Huskies. Because they aren't Huskies.....They're so cute :)

This picture kills me!!

Gotta Go!

Girls' Night

Girls' night....what can I say? We had 5 extremely hyper teenage girls in a confined space....with cupcakes. ;) It was fun!...insane...but fun. Yup.. that's all I got.

OH! So U2, as I have mentioned before, is coming tomorrow. But! What I didn't mention is the amazing black leather fedora I got to wear. :D I'm quite excited. Although, maybe I should stop telling people it's so amazing...let them decide that for themselves. Oh well, too late now! Pictures from Girls' Night, U2, and other things will be up by Wednesday, I hope. :)

I know it's late...

Yes it's late but there is a storm raging outside my window and it is fantastic! :) So, I was inspired and wrote a little passage, or whatever you want to call it :)

I spread my arms, palms upward, and tilt my face back to soak in the rain. It soaks my skin instantly, my eyelashes filling with droplets, my lips spreading to a grin. The water dances on my face and arms, suddenly illuminated by jagged lightning splitting the sky. A low rumble follows as I twirl, sending droplets flying off me.

A voice behind me shouts, “You’ll catch your death!!”, and for a split second I agree, but the freedom of the water running down my face entices me otherwise. I begin to walk. Slowly, at first but my feet are picking up the pace. Soon I’m flying across the wet ground, so fast I’m breathless. My heart pounds and I laugh as I leap over a deep puddle and continue my flight. Where am I going? I haven’t figured out where. I’m too busy watching the rolling black clouds, watching them continuously disappear behind jagged lights. I awake to the pelting of rain on our roof, and lightning flashing through my window. What a storm :) ~by Brittany Love

Hmm...

My brother tells me to embrace my inner nerd... Am I a nerd?

Cutest I could find :) not the happiest, though

To learn the answer to this question, look at my growing list of favorites :) anyway that's my random thought of the day.
