The Wandering Artist

Margaret Louise Anderson 26, Single, Artist Hello interweb, the name is Margaret like stated about but I know it can be quite the mouthful and way to formal for my liking. So feel free to call me Marge, Maggie or even Peggy. Or whatever floats your boat. Even though I am normally jumping from place to place now you can find me in Smyrna, South Carolina. I work as a freelance artist so if you need any art to spice up your life I am your girl.

Hush, you flirt. You have too much game and paired with that beautiful face? Dangerous.

What? I can’t help it that it is so easy to point out all your amazing traits. It is tough work for sure but we both know you understand that completely. 

[msmargaretlouise]

It does look pretty amazing. He did such a good job and I’m super proud of him. You know what? We’ll take it. I’m sure we’ll find room in the Winter Wonderland.

Now I just want to see it even more. Well let me know when you two are free and I will bring some pieces over and I could see the Winter Wonderland myself.

I am too, I am ready to enjoy this new year and new beginnings. Thanks Margaret, I am making Sweet Potato and Apple Pie, Banana Pudding and Cookies. I hope so too, everyone needs a place to go.

Oh my goodness that all sounds so wonderful and delicious. I am hoping to spend the holidays with my family but I would love to get the chance to try one or more of those amazing dishes. I couldn’t agree more.

[msmargaretlouise]

Na i’m need the real thing it flies and everything.  It would sure beat getting stuck in one of the ranches muddy fields

Well I guess I could bat my eyelashes at a few scientists and engineers to see what they can do. Anyone would be silly to say no to my puppy dog eyes.

[msmargaretlouise]

It is really fun. Specially the games we get to play when the fam is together. Honestly, lighting the Menorah is always my favorite.

Games, hm? Those are some of my favorite things to do with my family or dear friends. I am hoping I can break out some games with my family this year. It seems like a beautiful tradition and such a meaningful one. I can see why it would be special to people. 

[msmargaretlouise]

I wish my boyfriend appreciated it as much as much as you seem to.

We are a lucky few we have to stick by and appreciate each other.

[msmargaretlouise]

It’s very hectic I can assure you. Specially with finals coming up and such. Yes it is! Next Friday is our last day, so I am definitely looking forward to it.

Oh my goodness you are so close! Hopefully you are planning a way to celebrate making it through the semester and craziness.

I mean, it’s another sleepless night in Smyrna, but who’s complaining? At least this way I get to get caught up on all the chores around the apartment I’ve put off. Even if that means forcing my boyfriend to sleep with earplugs in. Gotta love studio apartments.

[msmargaretlouise]

Sounds exactly how I spend my sleepless nights when I am not painting. I think it is a pretty great trait to have. Helps me keep my apartment nice and tidy.

Okay just watched the flash mid season final.  No spoilers coming from me. but can someone tell me where I can get Devoe’s chair.  Oh Man i want one of those. 

[msmargaretlouise]

Can’t say I have seen the show myself. But I am sure someone who does cosplay might have one or even possible directions on how to make one that is similar to it. May not have as many fun gadgets but at least it would look the part.

My boyfriend is passionate about Christmas. I wish I could say I was lying but our place has become what could only be considered either a Winter Wonderland or the North Pole. But I suppose I can’t be annoyed. Without him, the tree wouldn’t be up yet and I probably would have forgotten to buy any presents.

[msmargaretlouise]

Oh my goodness now I want to come over and take a look. I bet it looks amazing and magical. If you guys need any holiday art to spice it up I have some extra pieces that I don’t have room for in my apartment. 

[michelle--allen]

Day 3 of Hanukkah and I’m super excited about it. I’m looking forward to lighting our 3rd candle on our Menorah later this evening when my mom gets home from work. Gotta love this time of year. Now to have some delicious eggnog just the way my mama makes it.

[msmargaretlouise]

That sounds like so much fun, I have experienced Hanukkah a few times and I really admire it. Do you have a favorite part of it?

[elise-ramsey-deactivated2020060]

Super long ass day. I think my professors were trying to bust my ass so badly today. I think a bottle of wine and some Chinese food is the will to be able to relieve any stress I may have.

[msmargaretlouise]

I can’t imagine what it is like at the end of the year. It is times like these where I am honestly glad I didn’t go to school. But I believe in you! You must be getting close to done with the semester though right?

[amarazolakingson]

This year has gone by so fast, Christmas is like 10 days away, that is crazy and yet I am still not entirely prepared. I haven’t even ran through my desserts like I normally do before cooking Christmas dinner. That being said anyone need a place to go for Christmas you can always come over my place. I can promise food and drinks, fun is optional. 

[msmargaretlouise]

I know right? It is completely crazy but I am even more excited for a new year and new experiences. Oh but I am sure if any one can handle it the one and only Mercedes Jones can. What kind of desserts were you thinking of making? And it is really kind of you to offer, hopefully people take advantage of it. 

[slut-for-drama-and-dick]

Nothing brings me more joy than watching someone slip on ice and eat shit.

[msmargaretlouise]

They must be slipping when they realize someone as handsome as you is nearby. People obviously can’t handle being in your presence.

THE CHARACTER →

MARGARET LOUIS ANDERSON is 26 YEARS OLD. She is the FIRST child, and a SOLO. She is BISEXUAL and BIROMANTIC.

Margaret is a FULL TIME, FREELANCE ARTIST. She is also a PART TIME, BARTENDER at THE NIGHTCLUB.

THE STORY →

DEATH TW

Margaret from the start has been what one would call a free spirit, she always did her own thing and never needed much around her to do so. She could always keep herself distracted and be in her own little world. Her mother soon found that some crayons and paper were one of the best ways to keep her busy for hours. That started her love for anything related for art from drawing to painting and even to photography as she got older.

Even though her father was a single parent when for most of the first year of her life, he met Dalisay. Not that long after them meeting they got married and had kids themselves that Margaret loved and adored. Even though they were half siblings they always referred to each other as siblings. She always calls them her younger siblings and fell in love with Dalisay, who took on the job as her mother beautifully since she her own mother disappeared from her life.

After her family took a trip in a camper when she was six years old she fell in love with the idea of traveling and exploring the world around her. She knew then that she didn’t want to be tied to her home town, that instead she wanted the whole world to be her playground. So as she got older she would do anything that she could to get out she would go on camping trips, set out a tent in the backyard and when she got older she would save up as much money as she could to go on trips with her friends.

Her need for adventure and freedom only grew as she got older. Especially after she learned that her father kept details of her birth mother from her. A person she thought she could trust and rely on, keeping secrets from her without giving her a reason. Especially when they have always promised to be honest with one another. And one of those secrets being the death of her birth mother, who she always said she wanted to get the chance to meet. Anything that she wanted to learn about the woman she had to learn on her own. Which caused the air between them to grow more and more tense every day.

Although her need for adventure didn’t just stop at travel she had a constant energy that she needed to put towards something and not just her art work. That is when she turned towards going to parties and getting up to things she probably shouldn’t have been doing while in high school. But she always tried her best to not get in trouble because the last thing she wanted to do was become a burden on her mother because she knew she had a whole lot more to worry about that a girl who had too much energy that she didn’t know how to deal with.

When she graduated high school she knew she needed to go and let herself see the world and experience it. That is when she decided to join some of her friends from art classes and groups on a year long trip where they would backpack around the United States and Europe. There they incorporated art and travel and created many great pieces of art and made a fairly good amount of money to keep the traveling up. Although as time went on a year ended up lasting longer that they thought. Many of them went back home to the states but Margaret stayed with some friends in Paris for a few years before coming back to the US and decided to come back and stay with her grandmother. There she took up as many jobs as she could to help her and also sell her art work on the side. But deep down she knew she needed to see just a few more places, so after staying with her mother for about a year she went back to traveling but this time staying in the states.

Margaret feels like she is becoming her best self due to her variety of life experiences but part of her would be interested in finding a place to either settle down and stay in or at least get a solid job and apartment in. Her heart always went to small towns even though she also loved cities. That is when she found herself in Smyrna, South Carolina. Of course she was worried when she realized she would have to face her father once more. She was more happy to be with her family again then just for a simple visit. For the girl who is normally filled with wanderlust she is finally starting to feel herself getting comfortable with settling in.
