Thank you for tagging me! This was all kinds of fun. If anything doesn’t make sense, I apologize in advance, I broke out the alcohol for the first time in a looooooong while.
Sunrise or sunset? Both. Neither. I’ve never really understood the difference between the two. Or rather, I value them more by other then the company and the quality of the coffee/hot chocolate then for their own beauty.
Do you play any instrument?
Not any more
Short or long hair?
Long at present. It’s not the best look for me but screw it I want mermaid hair.
What is the most expensive thing you have bought? My car.
Introvert or extrovert? Introvert, with omnivert leanings
Do you have a particular song that you feel deeply?
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
but I can't just be right here
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
or a fool consumed by fear
For thinking out the box from where I stay?
For saying that I choose another way?
Am I Wrong Lyrics - Nico & VIN
But God is here, and God is there
God is dark, and God is fair
Letting love arrange this song
All in love where we belong
Rocky Boat – Steven Delopoulos
Oh, you said song, no plural ‘s’. Sorry, as you can see I have a lot of song feels.
Favourite part of your personality?
I’m generally pretty calm, I guess?
Are you religious?
”Funny really, yes, but at the same time a huge resounding no.” - A Knights Tale
Do you have friendships with all genders? More so in recent years. I didn’t really get dudes growing up and I don’t have a lot of patience for the comon pride issues that come with pubescent males. I’ve got more guy friends now, but given my choice I’ll hang with a girl first.
How can people tell you are sad or nervous?
I tend to hole up when I’m sad and talk myself in illogical circles of logic when I’m nervous.
What colour eyes, hair and skin do you have?
Brown, brown and yellow/red, with a yellow leaning, low on the chromatic scale, and with a value of about 40%.
What languages can you speak? I speek ingrish good, bert I don’t spel reel wel
Do you cry often?
No, I went through a few phases when everything was blowing up in my face and I’d cry myself to sleep at night, but for the most part I choose other methods of venting my emotions.
Are you comfortable accepting compliments? And Giving? Nope, not even remotely. I come from a family that is prone to…flattering. So when I’m complimented I assume the person is blowing smoke up my butt, has no clue what they are talking about, and/or is making fun of me. I like sarcasm, but I acknowledge that I’m not very good at it. As for giving them, that is a whole world of delight. There is no greater pleasure then watching someone’s face light up when recognized for something of which they are proud.
What have you done today? bathed, ate, cleaned paint residue off of my pallet, painted, became nauseated, wondered if I’m developing an allergy to oil paint, painted more, rearranged the venting in my studio, painted, threw up, gave up panting, answered long delayed correspondence, booked a calligraphy job, freaked out about the convention I have in 3 weeks, drank a sprite and canton, wrote this.
Do you have any funny family stories?
Well, there was that time my Dad was almost attacked by a wild turkey. Oh, then there was that time I accidentally threw my sister’s car keys on the roof before school. Shame about that one, we fished them off before we were actually late. Would have been the funniest thing to tell mom when she got home and asked us how are day was.
Do you like to watch true crime shows or movies?
There was a phase of my childhood when I had chronic bronchitis had to stay home from schoola lot. The only palatable thing on television all week long was some history channel crime show. Seriously, it was an all day marathon of the kind of show that could fit into 5 minutes of its 30-minute segment and they kept repeating the same information over and over. I was brain dead enough at the time that I thought it was the best thing ever. Now, as an adult? In the real world? No, not so much.
What is the nicest thing anyone has said to you?
Oh, hell if I know. I’m sure I’ll think of something after I post this. Maybe: “I like your art” (and then shoves money in my hands)
Possibly, it was this one time I was doing a styled shoot with a couple vendors and Biffles McMarried, whom I respect enormously for her choosiness and business sense. One of the other vendors (a big blogger in D.C.) had apparently asked about me. As they walk by me all I hear of their conversations is 15 seconds of McMarried telling her that I’m all that and guacamole. The fresh chunky kind, made with real avocados and the whole 9 yards. It was kind of awesome.
Do you put yourself or others first?
Myself usually, but I aim for a balance. I’m easily mowed over by manipulative or even just plain old pushy people, so the “screw you and the horse you rode in on” attitude was cultivated in self-defense.
Are you happy today? I’m sort of calm and glowy right now. God bless Domaine de Canton. I’m okay though. There is a lot of pressure on me to figure out a job and a future and to preform well at the convention in a few weeks. So it’s hard, but good. Lots of good things are happening right now and I’m slowly learning to focus on them.
And them I’m ending this post with a question, so anyone who wants to be tagged let me know and I’ll put you here?
