I want my money back.
This must be what Gabe Newell goes through everyday. Or maybe it’s how he generates his ingenuity. Happy birthday!

There’s no denying it now..
Fall is here. And in the pacific northwest this means an entire change of wardrobe. Luckily I bought a bright pink windbreak a couple months ago, now you’ll never lose me in all this gray. :)

Happy Halloween!
I didn’t dress up this year but if I did, I would have been a sheep.

Hello? Yes, I’m still here.
I’m still here. Can someone just punch me every couple days to remind me not to treat my blog like a step-child?
I’d appreciate it.

Disney Princess – Sleeping Beauty
When I was younger, I dreamed of having her “waterfall hair”, where her hair is straight and curls at the bottom. Aurora is the prettiest of the princess, probably because she got to sleep for a thousand years…
She’s my favorite. She was cursed at birth, therefore her finger getting pricked by a needle and falling into a deep slumber wasn’t her fault (*cough* Snow White, *cough*). But I think what I like most about Sleeping Beauty is Maleficent. The most bad-ass evil villain EVER. Even Wikipedia says “Maleficent is often viewed as the most powerful and sinister of the Disney Villains”, look it up. She turns into a flippin’ black dragon with green smoke and flames and shit. MAN.

Februrary 14th
A few Valentine’s ago, I worked at a chocolate store. Weeks before the day, we would be getting phone calls, asking for chocolate dipped strawberries. Have you ever pre-ordered a strawberry? And those were not cheap either, on average, they were $6 a pop. It’s incredible how much people buy into Valentine’s day. If the strawberries were $6, a small box of chocolates could have fed a family of four.
I feel so lucky I’m a girl, especially now that I’ve worked at a chocolate store, I won’t settle for anything less. And especially not Hershey’s. (Just kidding! Well… half kidding.)
Anywho, Happy Valentine’s Day! :)
I want to go back to elementary school when we were handed paper doilies, Elmer’s glue and glitter. Let’s go back to making our cards, instead of buying them in a pack of 24 with Dora’s face printed on it.
Go make a card now. Give some love, share some hugs! Go go go!

Break
A lot of times when I’m in a rut, I search for inspiration. However, most of the time, it tends to backfire. I go through galleries of various artists, admiring their work. Flipping through their sketches and doodles and I think back to myself, “What the- Why aren’t I doing this?”
Why do I feel the need to compare myself to them? I’ll be one of them one day (hopefully). Maybe I’ll have random strange young girls admiring my work online. Heck, that’s why I started this blog. Exposure.
My excuse for not drawing is I need a ‘break’. No, what I need to do is sit on my ass and draw.
Don’t you sometimes feel like owls are suspicious creatures?

Disney Princesses – Cinderella
Bippity Boppity Boop. Is that how the song goes? How come I don’t remember this movie at all? Though I feel like this is one of the most popular Disney Princesses among little girls (and people like me).
I think it’s the whole “fairy godmother” thing that gets the girls. A fairy that gives you a makeover, complete with glass slippers and a pretty gown? I’ll take it.
The more I’m trying to remember the movie, the more I think about the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Yaknoww, the one with Brandy as Cinderella and an Asian guy as the Prince? Great musical, completely underrated! And Whitney Houston (before the crack addiction) as the Godmother. @w@
Oh right, Cinderella. Whichever version, I’m pretty sure she’s a ‘shoes’ girl, and not a ‘bag’ girl.

Disney Princesses – Jasmine
I apologize for the lack of posts these past few months. I’d say I was too busy to make a post, but that would be a bit of a lie. I need to make a habit of updating and blogging. It needs to become my daily routine (or at least weekly). So- I’m sorry!
Right now, I wish I had drawn another character from Aladdin. I feel like Jasmine’s didn’t play much of a role in the movie at all (okay, I guess it makes sense. The movie is called “Aladdin”. Dur.) But other than almost being molested by Jafar (total and huge creep, by the way.) and having a bad ass tiger as a pet, she didn’t do much.
However, like some of the other princesses, she’s got a bit of a backbone. Being stuck in a castle for however many long years, a girl starts to get a bit stir-crazy, she jumped at any opportunity to get out. Personally, I wouldn’t trust a strange prince/stranger (who literally appeared out of no where) with his “magic carpet”.
But, I mean, it’d be a cute 2nd or 3rd date.

Disney Princesses – Belle
There have been a lot of rumors about how The Beauty and the Beast promotes bestiality, but please, let’s not compare a Disney classic to something that of Twilight. Belle was intelligent, selfless and pretty (Whereas Bella is mediocre looking, fickle and a bit stupid).
But enough about Twilight! I’ve always had a soft spot for Belle. Whenever I took those “Which Disney Princess are You?” quizzes, I’d always get her as my match. She was a book worm, I was a book worm. She had brown eyes, I have brown eyes.
Belle was like the perfect girl next door. She was smart, selfless and brave. I mean, breaking into a beast’s castle to save her papa? Guts.
Bravo.
