what I'd like to do!

I'd love to start drawing again. It's been so long that I'm afraid to try--silly, no? I did a quick little sketchlet for a story I wrote and it wasn't bad. Not great, but not bad. I have ideas floating in my head but ever since I started writing (something I really wanted to do when I was a Weeroxy but thought I had no talent for), I've been crippled in that regard. It seems like it'd be easy, just pick up a pen and go to town, but no, I just circle the drafting table like an uncertain shark. I used to love it--used to need to do it like breathing. How does that happen?

I think this summer, I'll look into taking some art classes. Maybe after shading my umpteenth drawing of a bowl of plastic fruit, the drive will kick back in. I definitely need to relearn anatomy, and I'd also like not sit in a class full of retirees and headlong-into-elderly broads like myself, because that way lies kittens gamboling on a verdant swath of clover and little boys in top hats handing little girls in pinafores or what-nots daisies, which that kind of thing always vaguely squicked me. I'm asking a lot of an evening art class, I know. :)

Doodling sounds good--I hardly even doodle anymore. That's a better idea instead of throwing myself into a big project--God, I'm so sorry Ross, I swear someday I'll finish you!

Go Pats? At first I thought you must reeeeeeeaally like pats but then I figured it had something to do with tonight's game?

Hee! Both, actually! Pats in all forms are good and worthy of exclamation points! But, yes, Super Bowl-ness. Normally, I would be rooting for the Giants, but I actually went to school with one of the guys on the Patriots team, so—GO PATS! XD
