experiment

[guingel]

yes, as the title indicates, the main purpose of this entry is to try something.


ok. . . I've heard you can close this and have more stuff after it. . . I'll just re-throw in my ink and wash picture since everyone ignored it the first time ;)

c'mon, people! this is like, the best thing I've done all year.

right. tired. went to sleep at past one and woke up at 10:30--because we're leaving at like, 1 to go to this post-wedding brunch thing. ::sigh:: I have a shit-load of homework. believe it or not, I actually did some when I got home yesterday! O_O So I've found most of the stuff I'll need to put on the note-cards, I just need to actually do them, but then I need to make up my "working bibliography" and. . . ugh. . . write the outline. And we're not going to get home til 6. acck!! And I've still some math and chem to do, which I just won't. XP
Although I am kinda sniffly and sleep-deprived, I could probably get away with staying home from school tomorrow ;) But I really don't want to do that. . . I think it'd be kinda hypocritical of me, although I do have a good excuse.
I'd feel guilty about not doing any work on friday or saturday, but frankly, I was totally falling apart from school, and I really needed a break. So fuck that. I'll just do as much as I can and the Lare-bitch will just have to live with it. And then I'll hand in the rest of it late. I'll try to get everything done, but if we don't get home til 6, I'm not sacrificing my sleep for this.

ok, I'm not sure how this'll work, but. . .


anyway, the wedding was fantastic!! :D I had such a good time. The ceremony in particular was wonderful, because the rabbi was a cousin of my aunt and dad. Rabbi Sarah. I think it's cool that she's a female rabbi. She's wonderful, too. So nice! And she did the service at Grandpa's funeral, which has stayed with me all this time. She mentioned him, and I know that that was when all of my family started to cry. I mean, I think I might have made it sound like we had a special bond, but we really didn't--because I was too stupid and too shy for most of his life. I love him very very very much, but he and Michelle (the bride) really had a special bond. She was his first grandchild, and since they lived in Brooklyn (and so did Grandpa and Grandma) they'd always go over there to see him, and take care of him. And I was just thinking how extremely proud and happy he'd have been to be at Michelle's wedding. Sarah told about when Grandpa met Matt, and I was really glad that he knew and liked him. (Matt is the groom, and he's so nice!!)
It was cool and fun being in the bridal party. :D I got to kinda feel like an insider ;) Although then at the reception I didn't dance. . . when it was partner type dancing there wasn't really anyone to dance with, and then when it wasn't. . . I don't know. Me and Katie were the youngest ones there and all, everyone else was in college (except for Mike, who's really tall and has a goatee so he passed for older) (mike was macking it, btw. or however that's spelled) and since Mike was out there I would have just felt like the little sister, which is a real pain in the ass, and then there's the fact that I can't dance. But then Mike disappeared with the other bridesmaid, and Kate, our cousin from England (the English relatives came over for the wedding) came to drag me and Katie on to the dancefloor. This was like, right before we left. Katie wouldn't go--she was tired and all--but I went :D And I did have a lot of fun--I like to dance, I'm just terrible at it, and I felt silly as the youngest and all. ::shrug:: But we danced and had a good time. I was feeling shy, and when I feel shy I want to put my hair over my face and all--it protects me--but I couldn't do that!! aack! So I just toughed it out. lol.

my hair had 39 bobby pins in it. O_O ugh. And I'm going to go take a shower now because it's disgusting and full of hairspray, and also, that's the only way I'd ever manage to untangle it. I actually took a picture with Mom right after I took it out, because she bought herself these 4 and a half inch heels (which is way out of character for her) and I was showing how tall she was -_-;; Cos i'm short. Ah well. So you'll see those, and there's like, 5 million pictures of me throughout the evening. . . and at the beauty parlor! half-way through! And I got Dad to take a picture of the back because it was wild.

K. Off to shower.

Oh yeah, it was this one I wanted to comment on! (:

First, your artwork - very cool! I especially like how good you are with shadowing and giving it depth. Like the nose and cheekbones and chin and stuff, look so realistic. I remember noticing the cheekbones in one of the last ones you posted too, and how nice they were. I'm not much of an artist myself, and that's something I always have trouble with. The only "improvement" I could suggest would be with the eyes. I don't know what you were working off of, but generally eyes have more depth. Don't they usually have a darker ring around the colored iris. And eyelashes. (Did the model have eyelashes?) Anyway, that's the only thing that *I* felt didn't look right, although I'm no expert.

Second, dancing! "Dance like nobody's watching" is one of my favorite quotes. Dancing is meant to be enjoyed, so try not to worry so much about your skill, who's watching, or what you look like. When you're watching dancers, don't you always prefer seeing people who are out there enjoying themselves?

Third, I can't wait to see your pictures! I want to see what you wore, and what your hair looked like. Get them posted! (: (:

I know!! The girl in the picture had no eyelashes! It was sooo weird! You're right about the eyes though. I think it was one of the first things I did, so I wasn't all that comfortable with the medium (I've never done an ink and wash before--it's tricky!!). I am fond of the shading under the eyes though ^_^ I like the nose too.

You're right. . . I know. . . there was this one girl (she actually looked a little like you--me and Katie both noticed it) (Katie's seen some of the pictures that you've posted of yourself) and she was dancing and having a great time and me and Katie were having so much fun watching her. The groom's brother and his friend (apparently just friend, lol) were also really really good, but apart of it was that they were having fun. Still. . . I feel like I've no idea what's going on below my neck. Like, I can't see it, and I can't really feel it either. so I've no idea what's going on or how I look, or even what I'm doing. lol. Hopefully I'll be given some chances to dance in a place where I'm comfortable and then I'll feel better about dancing in front of people I don't know. (the camera kept coming over to us though!!) Like, at my friends house we sang La Vie Boheme and we all danced and that was fun ;)

Well, my dad's pictures we'll get back soon, hopefully. . . the wedding pictures won't be here for a while. A couple weeks. XP And I'm not sure if we'll get a copy. . . it'd be like my aunt to give my dad a copy of at least the pictures with us in them. But I don't know how these things work ;)

The first time I heard that there could be female rabbis I was like, "no, really? cool." Then I heard that there were actually female priests, not ministers, but priests! And to that I'm like, "wow, no kidding?" Then someone told me that there could actually one day be a female president and my response was "nah, now you're just pulling my leg..."

At my sisty's wedding (which was LONG and very Jewish and big and did I mention long?) I got to ride in a limo. And I collected plastic straws at the reception afterwards. They were cool plastic straws. They were the kind you stir coffee with. They were brown with a green strip down them. Straws rule!

39 pins? WOW! If you went through a metal detector with all those pins in, you'd definately be stopped!

[guingel.livejournal.com]

female priests?? really? wow. I'd have thought ministers! That's cool.
Have you ever read White House Autumn? (by Ellen Emerson White) I really like it, but the first time I read it I was in like. . . fifth grade or something, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. But anyway, it's the story of the first female president, and she got shot in the shoulder (actually, the book focused on her daughter) and stuff, and I've a bad feeling that's what would happen to the first female president in real life. :-/ Because people are like that and just messed up.

hehe. I was lucky that the ceremony wasn't long at all, which was lovely because I was standing and holding the bouquet and all. I've always wanted to ride in a limo, but I had a good time anyway ;)
straws do rule!! I love the twisty ones :D

I didn't even think of that! geez! I'd hate to think what would happen, it's not like I could just take them out! Well, it's not like I look suspicious, but still. I'd hate to get frisked. lol.
Once we were playing pictionary, and my cousin got "frisk" and he drew this policeman with his hands in another guy's pockets. . . we couldn't figure out what was going on. I don't know how you could draw that and make it look decent. . .

[cloudtrader.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Heheheheh, now I have naughty "frisking" thoughts going through my head... *giggle*

The Catholic Church doesn't officially recognize the female priests out there, but they also don't officially ban them. Eh. And I don't think the U.S. is going to get a female president for several decades. Our masculinity-feminity index number is WAY too far over on the macho side still for it to come about any time soon. Le sigh.

I've only ridden in a limo that once. Hey, have you seen those incredibly stupid and silly looking stretch-SUVs? Dumbest things I've ever seen, and I live in L.A.! Soooooooooo stupid. We are taking the absurd to new heights here. Yeesh.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

lol. yay for naughting frisking thoughts!! XD

Yeah, I know, but I'm willing to wait. When things get hopeless, I tell myself a couple things. One of them is that we're moving forward, however slowly. (this may or may not be true but I'd love to think it is.) Another is that humans have been alive (and humanish) for only about 4000 years, and dinosaurs and whatever were around for millions of years. So I figure we have enough time to get it right. You know how 400-900 AD is called The Dark Ages? Well, I figure hundreds of thousands of years into the future, they're going to call this whole early period the Dark Ages. lol.

Yes!! Those SUV things look sooo dumb! (hummer limos rock though!) but the SUVs and the minivans or whatever. . . we saw one of them when I was with my new cousin-in-law ;) and I was like, "geez! It looks like they just cut it in half and stuck some stuff in the middle!" And he told me that that's exactly what they do. >.< And they look so stupid! ugh.

I've taught my friend Keith to use Yahoo (or a search engine) but for a while when he wanted a site he'd just try typing it in. Like, if he wanted a site on fingernails, he'd try www.fingernail.com. So once he's over at our house, and he types in http://www.hummerlimo.com/
And I told him it wouldn't work, but look!!
lol. Those things are wild.
