whatever happens in vegas goes where ever it damn well pleases because she is a strong, independent black woman

So apparently this senator dude in Indiana is trying to ban gay marriage (not that it’s particularly allowed anyway) and put it in the state’s Constitution that gay marriage is banned. 

I feel extremely uncomfortable about this because this is where I live, and I don’t want to live in a place where people aren’t treated equally. This law/prop/thing is going to go to vote in 2014. 

Indiana is an extremely red state and people can be really fucking crazy here. Some of my friends’ parents are really crazy about this shit and I just don’t get it. It’s very hard to read people here because it is so red and I’m more liberal than anything. 

I just hope that this state can show its good side and vote to legalize gay marriage because why the fuck not?

sometimes i wonder if i could eat strawberry applesauce every day for the rest of my life and then i remember i’m a fucking adult and i can do whatever the fuck i want

So on my way home from school today, I was getting on to the main road and there was a guy standing on one of those concrete islands. 

He was holding a sign that read: “Traveling. Broke. Vegan.”

You know, because the last part is sooo important.

So,

I’m totally going to Japan this summer.

Some friends of mine, I often babysit for them, asked me if I’d like to go since their family members either can’t fly or are terrified of flying. I had tried to learn Japanese from them but art was calling and I answered it. I’m going to help them move in and to watch their little girl, Kyla. 

Expect lots of comics in the future about this awesomeness that I’ll be so fortunate as to experience. I’m going to be buying a new camera to take with me so I’ll prolly be trying to sell my other one. It’s a Flip camera, 8 gig, extra battery, hardly ever used. Lemme know if you’re interested.

Thanks.

A little bit of life…

So I’m going to be moving out of my parents house soon because I feel like I need the room. I live in a three bedroom, one bathroom house with seven other people and a huge dog. I need elbow room. I haven’t had my own room for twelve years and I feel like now is a good time to do this. 

I feel like my parents aren’t supportive of my decisions at all. Whenever I try to talk about it they don’t look at me and just try to avoid it. I’d tell them why I want to leave, but I feel like they’d just yell at me if I tell them how I feel and the truth about how terrible it is to live with so many goddamn people in a tiny house. It’s like they’re not even trying to help me get a car, which I so desperately need. They’re the ones with the papers and they’re the ones who know what to do in the first place when it comes to getting a car. 

I just don’t know what to do when it comes to this kind of stuff. I’m their oldest kid and I don’t think they know how to deal with it either. 

I’m just not feeling very good right now. Graduation’s coming up and everything is going to change. 

When I grow up… If I grow up…

So yesterday was a day off of school because it was a reserve snow day that we didn’t use and I decided to go to the University that I’ll be attending and get started working on animations. 

My teacher, Matt, started me on some quick projects. I did a few ball exercises and then I got to working on a transformation project. That’s where I change one character into another character. It doesn’t matter how I get there, I just have to get there. I’m not done with it and Matt suggested how to make it better. I can’t wait to share it though. 

I got to thinking about doing animation for a while, maybe even for the rest of my life. I feel like I’d be okay with that. 

I haven’t done much computer animating but I’m sure I’ll get to that when I finish my transformation project. I wanted to do some traditional stuff before I did much on the comp. I think it will help me overall to start on paper.

The reason I’ve been thinking this lately is because I appreciate the work that goes into animation so much more than ever before. I just know that I want to be apart of this process and I want to be like the people that make the things that I love the most. 

And after doing animation all freakin day, (seriously, I was there from 8 am to 4 in the afternoon and drawing the majority of the time) I really wanted to work on comics really bad. I got almost completely done pencilling and I inked a few panels here and there. 

I’ve just been thinking about this stuff more often because my life is really starting now and I couldn’t be happier. I’m very excited and nervous, but I know that everything will be okay in the end.
