Can People Be Too Talented?
Besides flying (a dream that will never come true), my dream is to be able to paint like Molly Harrison. Click here to go to her beautiful website filled with beautiful paintings of beautiful fairies and mermaids and unicorns! Click it if you love fantastical stuff like that, like I do.First she draws with a pencil on watercolor paper. Then she uses archival ink to draw over the lines, and then rubs off the pencil lines. Then she uses watercolor (duh) to paint the background, and then the main things. And then she uses color pencils and acrylic paint to color in the shade and stuff.I feel so jealous. She's mainly self-taught, you know. But she's about 40 years old, so I guess I still have a lot of time, since I'm only 13 this year, to learn how to paint and draw as beautifully as her, I guess. But I don't paint. I draw and sometimes color, but I don't paint. I mean, I've painted one surreal painting at home by myself, but that was only once. ONCE. And it wasn't even watercolor.Hmm. I guess I should start about school, since painting would probably bore you guys who probably do not appreciate art very much (most of you probably don't have an interest in art, am I right?). School was fine. My team lost in captain's ball, so when the winning teams had another match or whatever you call it, me, Zoe, PaulMae, and some other people went to the playground and the swings! Yay!I don't know what to type that would interest you guys. I mean, if I talk about art and books and stuff like that, some of you would die of boredom before you finish reading this post. But... oh wait I do know what would interest you guys!Who likes who, who doesn't like who, who broke up with who. But you can't expect me to just blab out the stuff that I found out (won't tell you HOW I found out) about other people. But the things I find out are kinda outdated, since I am from Room 3 and therefore do not get to hear much gossip and stuff... =.=' Poor me.Anyway, I'm going to go swimming now. And if you guys out there wanna be like my cousin who has a 4-pack (?) but never really exercised much before, DO NOT try to do so many push-ups on your first day. Because I tried to do a push-up (of course I don't want to get a 6-pack; I was just trying for fun), and now, 2 or 3 days later, my shoulders and the parts of my arms above the elbow are SO sore. Like really sore.Gosh.I want the 2008 Fairy Calendar by Molly Harrison, but it's USD$22. Sob! So expensive. And I also want to wear something like a long sweater, and a skirt, and long socks (I dunno why I like long socks so much), and sneakers. That's why I like Australian uniforms. Melissa Yeap says a female Australian uniform is like dress that ends above the knee, then long socks, and if you're cold you can put on a jumper. So cool! PaulMae says it's kind of "lala". What is "lala" anyway? I know it's a trend or something but what does "lala" look like? And why do they call it "lala"?? Like clams??? I tried searching "lala fashions" on google but all I got was a bunch of nonsense. =.=Seriously!! What is lala?Okay now I'm REALLY going swimming... But I still don't know what "lala" looks like!!Labels: Exercise can be dangerous
