Today has been rather strange.
Considering today was my last full day at college with Ashleigh and Shelly - it didn't really feel like it.

I didn't see Ashleigh until after Photography - but Shelly and I could see her through the window in the Mac room. She looks so cute when she's concentrating. I was sat watching her paint for a few minutes. She really frowns and sucks her cheeks. :)

I asked Shelly not to sit with me during the Photography lesson though - I wanted to get an hour's worth of solid sketchbook completed.
So I listened to Spieluhr on repeat and I got around 9 pages completed during the lesson.
Shelly kept stroking my hair every time she walked past me to go to the printer. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My memory stick is broken. :(
My PC said it needed to be formatted - so I thought fuck it - as I had everything that was saved on it backed up on Mr. Maxtor anyway.
But it then said it couldn't complete the format - and now every time I put it in my PC - all I have to do is click on it once, highlight it, right click - or interact with it in some way - MY WHOLE PC FREEZES.

And the Macs didn't even recognise it today.
I guess I'm going to have to buy a memory stick for next year.
Oh broken Logitech mp3 player - you have served me well.

If Mr. Maxtor broke - I would seriously cry.
EVERYTHING I've ever made/written/accomplished is saved on him.

Today was the last day that the three of us walked into town together.
I even said as I was pushing Ashleigh through the car park: "Ash, this'll be the last time I push you to town..."
It felt really weird saying that to her. :(

We first stopped off at Boots.
I'd asked Shelly if she'd pay for my cherry flavour lubricant. I was too embarrased to pay for it myself.
Ashleigh actually considered doing it, for the crack of it - but then she bottled it.

The fact she was sat infront of me watching me squirm about it made me blush more.
"I'm not going red..." - I mumbled - which made her laugh more.
Sadistic cow. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to taste it afterwards - but there was a blockage in the pump.
After a while, Shelly managed to clear it - but that left her with a big handful of excess that had just exploded out once she'd fixed the pump.

She smeared it across my face - a little bit even going in my hair.
This was infront of Ashleigh as well - consider.
Embarrassing... Yet, slightly arousing. :P

Even Ashleigh wanted to taste it.
It's like Cherry Drops - but twice as strong. It smells like them too.
The flavour is REALLY strong - it blows your head off. But it's really sweet.
And sugar free, too! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went back up to the art rooms once we'd eaten.
Ashleigh showed me her paintings.
They were pretty mint indeed. But of course, I expect nothing less from Ashleigh. :)

After Ash had gone to B block - Shelly and I stayed in the art rooms, working on our sketchooks.
I managed to get mine finished off about 10 minutes before B block started.
We didn't talk much - but we did discuss a few of our photos together.

It was odd - even though we weren't touching or barely speaking - I felt special just having Shelly sat beside me. :)

A thief in  Paris planned to steal some Paintings from the Louvre

After careful planning, he got past security, Stole the paintings, and made it safely to his Van.
> However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.

> When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings'

> I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing  Toulouse.

The first painting is done in watercolor and it is called "The Homecoming".  The second is one I am currently working on.  It is also done in acrylic and is called "Memories of Freedom".  My niece took the photo of the leopard at the St. Louis Zoo. The next work is done in graphite of a rose from my garden.  The fourth one is an acrylic painting I did of my daughter-in-law with my grand daughter, called "Carrie and Lydia".  The final one is  done in watercolor and is called "When Harry met Sally".  I love working in acrylics, watercolor, and graphite.  I hope that you enjoy looking at my work and would love to hear from anyone about my work.

So, I'm into painting now. above are 2 pictures i painted today..the first one just got finished an hour ago, the second I finished around 1:30 this morning. The First one says "Thank you for fixing me" and is a picture of a broken heart stiched up while the needle has a huge amount of blood flowing from it (yea, i messed up on that part). The second one says "Cleanse the Soul" and has a heart with blood in it (meant that it is geting rid of the bad memories).

 

What do you guys think of them?

I'm happy to report that I have created more Fairy Godmothers!  Yes.  You heard me.  The crazy characters I first blogged about a year and a half or so ago have multiplied!  And they aren't going away anytime soon.  Eventually these lil' fairies will become an affirmational card deck for the queer in all of us.  Each character will have its own name and special powers.  Guess which ones have what:

 

 

See?  I have been very productive lately.  I have more art to post, but give me some time.  There's a lot I want to write about, too.  Oh, and here are the original six Fairy Godmothers (for those of you who don't want to click on the link above).  Haven't they gotten even better?  I think I want to do up to a hundred.  Make the deck a collectable.  Yeah.  But first gotta find a publisher...  anyone suggest one for me?
