Life is back...

I began my return from China as an undergraduate (again). But this time, I went for something I can hopefully use in the US / Canada... Art. Yes, a BFA was something I was really against, since I felt that I shouldn't need a silly piece of paper to prove that I knew what the fuck I was doing, or some idiot to grade me based on what he/she liked and not based on the craftsmanship (high school anyone?).

But I did swallow (most) of my pride and joined most of the people I have despised since highschool. The ones that 'think' they are artists. The stereotypical scatterbrains, goths who 'suffer' so they must be artists, the anime centred fresh from high school I can draw Naruto ones*...and of course, the endless parade of snotty stuck up little fucks who are the norm here. In one hand, it makes me feel like I am actually committing something against myself, joining the people I said I would rise above. On the other, it gives me a chance to prove myself. Maybe not so much to everyone else, but to me. To prove that Yes, I can do this, so fuck the rest of you.

My relationship is going wonderfully. He started work, I started work and school. He makes much more than me, but thats ok. He completes me. When I am with him, I am happy and care free. When we are apart, we are depressed, sad, and lonely. He is perfect.

Anyway, class now.

* Let me clarify. I draw manga-based art. Its where I pulled some of my inspiration from. But drawing anime characters and not trying to better yourself or form your own style, I have an issue with.
