Was watching Howls Moving Castle today and tell me why I find the way Howl cracks eggs so attractive. Like one handed against stone?? Who taught you that??
small update, i'm going to have another journalling project starting here shortly. i'm gonna slam some content out to get ahead for this, and then we'll be alternating to an every other day post schedule for the clangen project here and my other journalling project (which i will be putting on tumblr too just yk. Elsewhere)
A Canada Goose beside a fast-flowing small river slowly starts squawking and walking until the bird breaks into a full run while honking then flies on to the river and floats away.
Her name was Paathu. This pic was taken after one of her mud baths. She used to answer when her name was called out, would come running from wherever she was or she would come calling us at around midday for her lunch. I don't think she ever realised she was a goose for she was hatched alongside other chicks and always used to roam around with a bunch of hens. But deep down I think there was some repressed instinct to get in to the water because everytime one of us would go into the pond, she would be seen running around the perimeter flapping wings and honking at us. She used to love getting baths under the tap though. She also used to tease and taunt our dogs. It's too hard to believe she too is gone now from here.
So funny thing happened today- i was in art class and our project was drawing a car (i chose the Mystery Machine from Scooby Do because of all the talk about Velma and stuff) and as I was drawing I unawarely said to myself “man this does not look good” because I have a bad habit of self deprecating myself.
And this dude in front of me, who I don’t know that well (we’re barely acquaintances), looked at my drawing then told me “dude that looks good?!” But not in the “comforting reassuring way” but in the “annoyed as fuck way”.
He turned to his friend and said “Look dude, look how “bad” their drawing is” and his friend agreed my drawing looked good. The dude went on about how his drawing is crap compared to mine and I tried to compliment him because it did look good to me, but i think to him it looked like I was taking pity on him based on how he was acting.
So today i realized when I deprecate myself I don’t look like someone who is insecure, I look like a pompous prick who’s pretending to be insecure and wants attention… and I think that’s been the most effective way someone has made me appreciate my art.
