i haven't been in so long because... well... mostly i forgot to go >.> i thought it had been since like maybe 2011 but the dental hygienist told me not since june of 2009 oopsie i've had dental insurance for all but like a year and a half i think so it's too bad i haven't used it before now.
oh thanks! i've worked hard to learn how to stop and it finally clicked today when i was just goofing off which i can't really do at the ice arena because there are so many people

that's kind of cool though, changing up your drawing style i mean. kind of helps get a different perspective... but i hope you start to feel better soon [yes]

I see. I guess when you don't have a mom telling you to do it, it slips the mind.
then you finally just found the right environment.

yeah. I didn't change it on purpose or anything. I don't have any definite style. I have a great variety from drawing to drawing, but yeah. the mood swings are just stress.

well actually my mom is worse at that sort of thing than i am... i always had to remind her about dentist appointments and doctor's appointments and other important things all growing up and even now i have to nag her to take my brother to the dentist because she is so forgetful

do you think the mood swings are helping or hindering your art work?

my mom is organized and I don't do things I do want to do.

I don't think it affects it. normally the art is the cause....or some of the time.

ah i see... the cause huh? well that seems pretty frustrating

yeah. I hadn't drawn any anime for basically an entire semester though so I digressed some.

lost a little of your groove huh? i actually feel the same way every time i go ice skating. it's like i forgot how to skate and i have to get all warmed up again. every. time. [stare]

yeah. it happens. entropy or whatever it is.
reminds me I should go color those cute drawings. I inked one and a half of them. never finished drawing the third one. I may have lost the groove right around there.

never too late to pick it up again

but sometimes it is.

eh you can always paint over it or something if that happens

what is that a solution to?

not wasting perfectly good paper if you've lost your ambition or muse for what you already started?

but you can't just paint over the paper. it's not canvas. it doesn't work that way.

sure you can... it's art, you don't make the rules ;P there are no rules!

but you can't use the same kinds of materials on it after it's been painting. most media won't draw on top of things like acrylic and it changes the tooth of the paper. you can SEE the uneven surface of the paint too.
there are some rules. A and B sometimes aren't always physically compatible.

and that in itself is art [yes] still no rules!

no. there are rules.

i see we are at an impasse

let's talk about something else.

sure... like what?

i just got tickets to see one of my pirate's away game on sunday! going to springfield, mass!
but you don't care for hockey soooo got anything else?

I thought you were talking baseball for a second. Pittsburgh's baseball team is the pirates.

I dunno. I'm eating spinach right now?

nah i don't care much for baseball, and pirate's are my home boys [yes]

like canned spinach?

how about real pirates with peg legs and eye patches?

yep. fresh spinach usually makes me sick.

sure they can be my home boys too [;)]

i don't like canned spinach *makes pukey face* i prefer fresh because it's like salad!
what is it about fresh spinach that makes you sick?
