Cha-Cha-Changes

Let's just say I was tired of the long-ass blog name. And I've begun to feel as though my life is static, unmoving and never evolving. So, new name to the blog, and I'm working on a banner of some sort. I like it better, and this way I wont spell the url wrong, which I've done on many occasions.
I've many paintings in the works, but I keep getting distracted, right when I plan on working on them. It's frustrating, as is finding yourself liking someone. You know they can't like you back, and you try to stop liking them, but then they show how smart or witty they are, and you're stuck even more. If anything, it makes me feel lonely, which I detest. So, I'm left trying to portray the loneliness and then the anger I feel for myself because I feel lonely. It doesn't turn out well.
On a happier note, I've had my sketchbook Lotus for almost a month now, and he's about half-full. I took a bit of a break from drawing every day, but as of last night, he and I are re-acquainted, and the few bits of world history I remember have been illustrated. I also found this site, Illustration Fridays, and am glad to say I think I will start partaking. It is always easier when someone comes up with the idea for me. Some times, I just can't think in a coherent enough manner, even for myself. The ideas get jumbled up and start wrestling each other, trying to get to the top of the pile. That just makes them harder to sort through.
I'm quite discouraged in my attempts to hold an art show. Venues don't like short-term renting, no one is willing to help me out. I'd do a solo show, but I lack the confidence in my own work, and the patients and work ethic to produce that much art.
I think I'll go draw a bit, maybe even write a bit. I'm not quite sure. Have a good day, oh and check out the picture at the end of the post. I light painted with taylor and Matt the other day, and this was one of my favorite shots.

With love,
Sarah

Fun Adventures are Fun

I would assume that if you're reading this entry, you've partaken in my spazzy art before. BUT, I would not assume you also know that I'm a fan of photography. While waiting for phonecalls to be returned, yesterday and today, my friend Taylor and I decided to talk a walk toward unused train tracks and take photographs. Today we also had our sexy ginger friend Matt come with us. It really was fun, watching the trains, watching Taylor physically abuse someone other than myself, and seeing Matt build a snail house. I've some pictures to post at the end of this entry.
 But, we've to count attempts Taylor made first. (She really is a great best friend.)
So, he parked at my house, and walked to meet taylor (#1) and then made our way to the tracks. We walked all the way down to the first bridge, snapping shots and cracking pervish jokes. Then, when we made our way to the bridge, photos were taken, rocks broken, and graphitti admired.
We walked to the second bridge, and sat under it on the tracks, as Matt built a stone house for snails, joking about someone's heart being an empty shell that would one day be filled. (Was he talking of me or Taylor, for I don't know.) Then Taylor dissappeared (#2), leaving Matt and I, until he decided to attempt to scare her. It didn't work.
After more talking, trains, photos and walking, Taylor sent Matt and I far down the tracks (#3) and called me to say, that she wanted a picture of us 'caring' for each other or being 'affectionate.' I, of course, couldn't actually admit that, so we turn around and he posed as though he was a super hero. Walking back to my house, we stopped in a field with many rocks and I photographed Matt jumping over rocks, kicking in a ninja sort of fashion.
Oh, and then I stepped on a Nail. I'm proud of myself for not just asking him to carry me, though at one point a piggy-back ride occured. My parents are annoyed that I didn't call them. Oops.
So, did you pay attention? Yes, she made three attempts to leave me and Matt alone together. It was awkward, but still, I appreciate her attempts. Really though, if he likes me as I do him, he'd tell me. So, I fear her attempts are in vain.

So, back to the art, far from rambling. Below are some pictures I took yesterday and today. You can see even more of my photography here. Tis my photography account on Deviantart. I'm also going to upload a few to flickr as well. I'll let you know when that happens.
