feeling: awake
listening to: nothing
I am annoyingly bored and completely awake. And still trying to decide if I'm willing to drag myself out of bed before 10 in the morning, 6ish hours from now, for the sake of going to Columbus with my parents and accompanying them to, of all things, an antique show. Plus sides for me: I could return the fludgy DVD I bought there last month (if it's not too late already), I'd get to eat out, and I could go to pretty much any location in town I might desire to go. And there are quite a few of those in Columbus. AND there's a kitty I'm sorta fond of up there too. >> << Downsides: sleeping for quite likely less than 4 hours for 2 nights in a row, and spending most of the day at an antique show. Which is my father's kind of thing... NOT mine.
I don't wanna go. But I wanna go. >_> Darn it...
Oh, gah. I suppose I'll be staying home. Don't feel at all like being stuck in a sprawling antique show all afternoon. I remember when I went with the folks to that antique mall in Lancaster... wandered around that place for over 2 hours, and I was stir-crazy by the time we walked out. But even better, we only left because mom was getting uncomfortably hungry... so after a break for lunch, we went BACK to the antique mall to finish exploring the last 2 floors. *shudder* Have felt no desire to see the inside of another antique show/store since.
Sorry, but after being dragged to several lifetimes' worth of antique shows/stores throughout my childhood and young adult years, I have developed a degree of aversion to the things. >> Mind you, I can handle short periods of poking through those places looking for specific little cool things - antique Snoopy memorabilia, for instance - but NOT wandering through for hours and hours while the parentals take a good close look at EVERY. SINGLE. THING.
This has probably been one of the weirdest rants I've ever come up with.
Oh well, at least my decision's made. No dusty smelly old junk for me! Muhahahahaaa!
...I'm gonna regret that decision. I know it. *grumble*
ANYWAY.
It's been about half an hour since I started this thing (Iron Chef was distracting ¬.¬), and I'm finally feeling slightly drowsy. But not sleepy. So I must not be done here yet. >>
Hmm... so for the past few months or so now, I've had this urge to tinker around with sort of a new artistic... style, or whatever one might call it. Guess you could say I just had some interesting new inspirations. But not really. >>; Not even sure what to call it... but it didn't matter, because any attempt I've made at an artistic-type project for the past several months, if not a year or more, has failed miserably before it even began. My creative side flew the coop long ago. So that's been sorta discouraging, having these new ideas but lacking the skill to bring them to life. However, I finally found an online project of sorts that features, among other things, artwork in that VERY style that I have been seeing through my mind's eye and longing to experiment with. Some of the subject matter is even the same as I've pictured. Sooooo for several days now I've been poking through these sites looking at the very artwork that I've been wishing I could create, and being completely floored by the perfect techniques with which the artist managed to execute it. So yeah... it's nice to be able to look at large collections of this artwork, if I couldn't have produced it myself. Yet also kind of depressing because I'm not that artist. >>
Yes, I'm rambling and probably making no sense. Told you I was half-tired. Just had some mild deja-vu too, which is interesting...
Anyway, I'm done babbling now. Gonna see if I can find something to watch until I'm tired enough to sleep.
[edit: dude, I totally posted this on my translations blog before realizing I was an idiot and moving it here. *dies* I'm more tired than I thought...]
[edit 2: ooook, it's the next day, parents never went anywhere, and I STILL only slept for 4 hours. stupid life. >>]
