Writing is like Sewing

I've thought this for awhile, but today I was trying to piece together an article for class and it just seemed even more true then usual.

Writing is like sewing.

This article for example? Pretty much a 1200 word copy-paste of interviews I conducted with other words thrown in to help the whole thing flow. (And it's completed! Hooray! And before one in the morning! Double hooray! :P) But earlier on I felt like I was just taking ragtag pieces of words and awkwardly stitching them together.

It's the same with my fantasy/sci-fi works, only instead of sewing together pieces of interviews, I stitch together half seen images of characters and what they're doing. It's sorta like sewing half remembered memories together...except, ya know, it never really happened. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have any Truth in it...

Sorry, sorry, no half-existential thoughts after wearing out my brain on homework. n_n;

Anyway, must rest. I just really wish that I had some sketches to put up here already, but none of them are actually finished so...I guess not right now. Tomorrow. I'm putting something up tomorrow whether it's finished or not! Ho ho! Determination! ;3


I also wish I could sew better...

G'night.

A Most Awesome Birthday!

You read the title, today was a most awesome birthday, even though I did have to stay late at school to interview a professor for a class article. It still turned out well, since he's really nice (and talkative) and all (that first one is the main reason I picked him. I don't do well with talking to others so might as well pick a prof that I know is nice.)

Oh, but of course professor interviews weren't the best part of my birthday. I got to go out to dinner with my family, which was very nice. Mom and Dad even got me a Japanese lady's coat jacket for me. It's so cool! And beautiful! Mom says it's made of silk and it has flowers all over the back that look rather like fluffy dandelions. Ya know, silk is much heavier then I thought it would be. And on the inside there's this fabric with pictures of little ladies wearing kimonos on them. It's so cute!

And I got a Wheeljack!! He's so cute!!! ~<3

And I can't wait to play with him! XD I know it's nerdy but I don't care cuz he's adorable and he's mine! :D I WUV HIM!!! Hee hee!

He is my first, very own kreon and my second very own Wheeljack. He is obviously one of my very favorite Transformers, but only from G1! Prime Wheeljack is....not a real Wheeljack. Sure he's cool, tough and all (and I am always glad to see his name on the newest episode summaries) but he's just not Wheeljack. There's no crazy inventions, no blowing himself up on accident, and the only things that explode are the things that are supposed to! Sigh, you see the rift there don't ya?

Also, this is my sister's present. The wrapping paper is cool!

;P Made for ten year old boys or not I think it's cool. And my sister even wrapped it so that the two small ones (which she made. :D I love her so much!) each have a full picture on the front. :) Neat! And difficult...

Anyway, I really want to play with 'Jack some more but I have to get up early tomorrow for more professor interviews. Fun. But if it lets me walk at graduation...well. Easy choice there now isn't it? Besides, these profs are nice and approachable too, so there's that.

I should really post more artwork. I want to post more of my artwork...but it's late. I shall have to introduce you to Mini-Grimmy and her snowman sometime this weekend. :)

Yaaaawwwwnnnn...well g'night....
