Alive

By Laurie

I got picked up this morning at 9am for my first in-car driving class.
HOLY GOD.
I was terrified and anxious as hell. I stayed terrified, but the anxiety passed. The instructor was very nice and patient with me. Thank heavens. I did okay, though I’m totally new at all of this and [...]

Long day

By Laurie

I started my Driver’s Education class today. From 8am to 2:30pm, I was downtown at the workforce essentials building. Surrounded by high school students(whom I think I scared), being the only real adult there, I listened to our teacher spend all day detailing one standard fact about the act of driving:
It’s totally freakin’ [...]

New Project

By Laurie

Something that occurred to me tonight, while audiosurfing. Weird, I know. In any case… this new project should be fun. Concept sketch below:

Ow my brain.

By Laurie

I’m reading through the bulletin for APSU and I think I’m shorting a wire somewhere in the grey matter upstairs.
Holy undead Jesus - I’m old and stupid. I’m slowly starting to understand all the college mumbo jumbo whositwhatsit, and I’m looking forward to talking to someone THERE to ask my questions. Boy do [...]

Underneath

By Laurie

Something floats above me, casting down a shadow, a murkiness across my vision. Nothing glitters quite the way it used to. Nothing feels quite as soft as I remember.

Two newer [...]

Goals? Doh!

By Laurie

Crap, there goes 2008. It wasn’t a bad year. It had its moments; some good, some bad, some inspirational. As I reflect on this, Elsy is purring in my ear as she pwns my shoulder once again. I think she missed me while I was gone this past weekend. (which was [...]

What? Yes.

By Laurie

The last week or so has been a major pain. What started out as a simple project to SLI my computer turned into a week+ of having to hang around on my laptop. I actually kind of enjoyed it! Cuddling on the couch under a blanket, watching movies on my macbook.
I will [...]

Takeover

By Laurie

I’m not sure what’s going on with me lately. I really cannot put my finger on the why. Like a switch, something has flickered on inside. I’m actually doing more art… and it’s baffling me! I’ve been doing something semi-artistic for the last 4 years, just no actual painting/pieces. Just [...]

Backpedaling grief

By Laurie

I’m such a freakin’ whiner. Really. I didn’t used to think so. Perhaps it’s old age(yeah). I’m not quite sure what I can get out of whining about this now. I rarely go on about negative crap like this, so I have to get in my quota for the year.
It [...]
