Today there wasn't a whole bunch on my mind, the usual fluff and dust that's been blowing around for a while. I'm not saying my mind is empty, just that there's not a terribly important amount of stuff in its space. The quarter is winding down and my mind should be preoccupied with finals, vocab, assignments, and other bits and pieces of useless information. But I'm just not feeling it these past few weeks.
I kind of feel the same as Lev. I was watching his new 'Tales of Mere Existence" episode and he said that he was in an artist's rut, and the one thing that he used to get himself out of the rut was to just draw a whole bunch of really random things and hope that somehow the ideas will come together to actually pull him out of the rut. So here I go...
I cut all of my hair cut the other week. I like it now, it's an odd cross between Arthur Kirkland and Justin Bieber. I certainly like one more than the other, but that's how it's turning out to be. I really like it, but it certainly irks me that almost everyone sees me and immediately assumes that I'm a lesbian. Why does having short have to make me attracted to other girls? it just really bugs me how severely people can judge. Now, no one can say that they don't judge at all. You see a Latino and most of you would assume that they speak Spanish. You see someone wearing a Packers T-Shirt you assume that they don't like the Vikings. You see two women walking down the street holding hands you'd assume that they are lesbians. You're not going to think "Oh, maybe they're just friends" 97% of you will think that they are lesbians.
I'm not saying that I don't judge people at all, I just don't see someone on the surface and assume a huge character trait of them.
The other day in Mock Trial my friend Evan was talking about his job. He goes around to Weight watchers in our county and stacks boxes. He was telling me about how he hates all the fat ladies that stormed in after New Year's with their resolutions to lose weight and knocked him over. I laughed my ass off for a good 5 minutes. xD Harder than the time that Patrick colored a picture of a Peanut's character, labeled it Magnus (Evan's nickname), and labeled the newspaper Peppermint Patty was reading "porn"
I have received a nickname as well from my good "friends" at Mock Trial. There are two Emmas, and the other one is a lawyer so she's a bit more important then me. (I'm a timekeeper because I have to miss practices a lot) So everyone's always saying "Emma I need.... Emma when are you... Emma can you..." and it confuses me really bad. So one day I finally said "Okay, one of us needs a nickname" she said "Well do you have anyhing we can call you?" I thought for a moment, and said "Ruth! My middle name." She didn't hear me quit right, and said, "Okay Roof!" Because of a misunderstanding, my nickname is now Roof. :p
Yesterday I tried to make a narrative about my costume for NYAH, but it took me 7 takes and I never actually got anything done except for burn out another perfectly good battery and an hour of film that's quite useless. I've never been good with just improvising things that I need to say in front of a camera. I always forget what's next and I find myself just sitting there thinking while the camera is running and I stand there wasting 5 minutes of film on me standing there, thinking. I've always had poor reaction times when cameras are on. I feel almost bad for Ash when we were filming for the MOA video because I tried really hard to always know exactly what I was going to do next, and I don't think I did very well because of it...
Well at least that'll leave me something to work with, then.
Apparently that'll isn't a word...
