You’re all probably sick of my paintings by now.

I looked in the mirror this morning, and when I say morning I mean the wee hours of dusk. 4 AM and I looked…awful. Bad teenage facial hair, dark rings around my eyes, greasy hairfilled with dandruff. And all this flesh is hanging off the rims of my slacks. I’m so worried about being fat even though I look like the skinniest pansy in the mirror but when I look at myself I think I’m fat. Now that I read over my thoughts in words, I’m not even sure it’s all physically true. I’m not sure if I look at myself the way I actually look or what I think I look like. And the whole looking at myself thing is a bit odd as well because I’m not big on health and fashion and vanity but for some reason I find myself drinking 106 ounces of water a day and cutting out refined sugar from my diet.

Typical LiveJournal crap.

I went to the Challenge Early College High School orientation today because I will be attending Challenge Early College High School. It seemed alright, 4 classes a day for 4 days a week at an hour 25 minutes each class and on Friday I can come to school at 9 and I don’t have any classes and I can leave at 3:25 if I want to. One of the advisory people in my class was wearing a Leftover Crack shirt so I just followed him around because he seemed cool and when I got home I found out that he was Jake’s brother. I was wearing a Bright Eyes shirt so he probably thinks I’m an indiefag even though I probably am. Then I went out to eat at some sushi place with my mom and they forgot to bring us soup so the owner or manager or something gave us some green tea ice cream and took the soup off our tab but gave us soup anyway. He was unshaven but the look really worked for him. The green tea ice cream tasted like frozen green tea with milk and the aftertaste was like a short waft of perfume.

High school is gonna suck.

New painting.

I replaced the portrait with this one.

Blah.

Eh. I did a painting today.

It’s acrylic on a piece of cardboard because I don’t want to buy or make a canvas. I want to paint another piece, hopefully Evil Dead related, but I don’t know if that’ll be too lame or whatever. And man these things take a long time to draw.

I read that Life of Pi book today. It’s boring because the author guy wrote the book in a way that would be easier for a zoologist or zookeeper or animal fanatic could understand, but for the average person like me it’s complete gibberish. It’s like reading a 300 page college thesis. And I could already tell he was linking animals to humans and religion in the philosphical way when I got to page 20 so I was like “Ugh this is gonna be boring” and yeah it was boring. So I stopped and did that painting and listened to Oasis all day. My life sucks from your point of view.
