I have also decided that next week to apply to The Center of Cartoon Studies. Because if I get in there now, I should have plenty of time to save up and leave. I need to move forward if I really want to do this and this city is pretty much killing me. So bored, unfulfilled and in desperate need of a change of scenery. I don't want to turn into a lazy bum who's bored all the time, drinks shitty beer and have shitty relationships with even shittier people. I've wasted enough time on that crap. I deserve much more and it's my own fault if I don't change my outcome. And Once I am finished with school I can go pretty much wherever I want. And that is all I really want. To move someplace I enjoy and feel at home.
Plus everyone is leaving again. BFF is going back to Chicago and I'm stuck here with no one cool to hang out with. I like alot of stuff that no one is interested in. I mean there are stuff to do here, but I am not too crazy about doing stuff alone. (But I will if I really want to do it)
Blah ranting. I just want a jump start into something good,fun and thrilling.
You are not thrilling,Ohio.
Plus if I lived somewhere else I would've totally have an awesome boyfriend by now. A sweet one, not one I just settled for because I hate being alone. But bleh, that is the least of my worries.
Other better news, Most of my comics are done. Well the ones I were currently working on. I made good progress over the last two weeks and I am really happy about their outcomes. Especially the comic I based off of The Good Life's Album of the year. Here are the lyrics:
The first time that I met her
I was throwing up in the ladies room stall
She asked me if I needed anything
I said, “I think I spilled my drink”
And that's how it started
(Or so I'd like to believe)
She took me to her mother's house
Outside of town where the stars hang down
She said she'd never seen someone so lost
I said I'd never felt so found
And then I kissed her on the cheek
And so she kissed me on the mouth
The spring was popping daises up
Around rusted trucks and busted lawn chairs
We moved into a studio in Council Bluffs
To save a couple bucks
Where the mice came out at night
Neighbors were screaming all the time
We'd make love in the afternoons
To Chelsea Girls and Bachelor #2
I'd play for her some songs I wrote
She'd joke and say I'm shooting through the roof
I'd say, “They're all for you, dear
I'll write the album of the year”
And I know she loved me then
I swear to God she did
It was the way she'd bite my lower lip
And push her hips against my hips
And dig her nails so deep into my skin
The first time that I met her
I was convinced I had finally found the one
She was convinced I was under the influence
Of all those drunken romantics
I was reading Fante at the the time
I had Bukowski on my mind
She got a job at Jacob's
Serving cocktails to the local drunks
Against her will, I fit the the bill
I perched down at the end of the bar
She said, “Space is not just a place for stars
I gave you an inch, you want a house with a yard”
And I know she loved me once
But those days are done
She used to call me every day
From a pay phone on her break for lunch
Just to say she can't wait to come home
The last time that I saw her
She was picking through which records were hers
Her clothes were packed in boxes
With some pots and pans and books and a toaster
Just then a mouse scurried across the floor
We started laughing until it didn't hurt
The lyrics to this song transfered wonderfully in comic form. I might do the first two pages over, because the inking is shaky but I'll see. I might just redo some panels instead of having to redo both pages.
I really need to get a scanner badly. I need to be able to really scan and edit my comics so my mistakes aren't as visible. And since I have been teaching myself through tutorials online, I think I can improve my work and bring the best out of it. I am hoping I get one soon.
Pavement has gotten back together. It's a huge fucking deal because I grew up listening to bands like Pavement. (I was really into 90's alternative in my teens) Seeing a band like Pavement would be amazing. Here's hoping that they stay together long enough so I can see them. I'm sure the tickets for next year's show are already sold out. :(
My head hurts, I feel like crap and I got a bunch of movies to watch. Lame saturday night, but hey last saturday I was smokin and drinkin. Gotta balance that shit out.
I'm getting old.
