I could lie to you all and talk about how insanely busy I have been, but that really isn’t true. I’ve just been doing all of the usual things.. work, game, clean, cook, clean, game, sleep, repeat. That’s about the extent of it. Although, when I don’t have anything to do at work (and when I grow tired of refereshing PerezHilton.com every 3 minutes) I have been reading and sketching.

Whenever I met Sam and realized how into art (and how talented) he was, I sort of forgot that I like it too At the time I just wrote it off and something that I liked to do but wasn’t as talented at, so I put it on the backburner and dubbed him the artist. I became busy with other things and other interests, but it didn’t really occur to me until very recently that there is no reason only one of us can be artsy. I’m very crafty, and I love to crochet. I create computer graphics or will try out some photo manipulation once in a while, but somewhere along the line I stopped sketching and gave up the idea of painting because I figure next to him I am such a newb. And he would never encourage such craziness. If anything he would only encourage me to experiment and practice and just to do anything I have an interest in.

ANYway, I found THIS post on Craftster and became so inspired. The only sketching I have done has been more on the cartoony side, so I figured that I should just take time and practice and try something new. I don’t have the CD’s to install my scanner to my computer, but I’m going to try and find the drivers and post some experiments.

I have gotten back into reading some lately too. Mostly it’s just during my lunch hour, but if it’s a book that I’m really into I’ll read it at home too. I’ve checked out most of the thirft stores around here, and I’m looking forward to raiding my mom’s collection of classics to see if I can borrow anything neat next time I travel home.

There are a few sites here and there that I have been keeping up with, but for the majority I’ve been a terrible webmistress and visitor this last month (or more..). SO, I’m going to go and catch up some and get some other things accomplished. I’ll try my best to have pictures next time. Happy hump day!
