a thought.
I’m beginning to realize a few things about myself.
I constantly get excited for other people, mainly because I see potential in them. I’m excited to see what they will become in 4 or 5 years from now. I’m excited to see who they will grow into. I couldn’t place why I got so excited when I talk to people about their works in progress or what they plan to do, until...

BLACK FRIDAY LOOT
Pulled an all-nighter for black friday. Didn’t get to sleep until 1pm today and just woke up now.
I plundered through Great Mall, Santana Row, and Valley Fair in San Jose to get:
3 pairs of shoes + a quilt from urban outfitters
a blazer + a coat from H&M
I’m pretty satisfied. It was fun, but now I’m kinda behind schedule. I NEED TO PAINT. I slept in the studio this...

Seth Godin on Laziness →
youmightfindyourself:
I think laziness has changed.
It used to be about avoiding physical labor. The lazy person could nap or have a cup of tea while others got hot and sweaty and exhausted. Part of the reason society frowns on the lazy is that this behavior means more work for the rest of us.
When it came time to carry the canoe over the portage, I was always hard to find. The effort and...

crunchy
my eyes are dry. my eyes are sleepy. and i have 6 more portraits to finish by tuesday.
i feel like my unnecessary excessive need to sleep translates to me being uninspired. i spent 3 hours in the paint studio today, and I didn’t really accomplish much. Even though I had my wonderful friends take their shirts off and model for me. Now that it’s a combined effort, I really want to make...

sense of immediacy
There’s a sense of immediacy, I have to finish my ink portraits by the 23rd, and my final painting is due on Dec. 1st. I also have to do publicity banners for my college, and last night I spent 6 hours working on my floor decorations.
I don’t think I can make it home for Thanksgiving.
I have too much to do, and I absolutely will not turn in a piece of work that I’m not...

Vonnegut's 8 Rules
Vonnegut’s 8 Rules to writing a short story. Mainly directed at Alex, who’s participating in Nanowrimo this year.
RULE #1: Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
RULE #2: Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
RULE #3: Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
RULE...

RODIN
I feel pretty accomplished today. We didn’t have school, so I woke up and ran a lap around the campus.
Then I drove to Stanford to check out their Cantor Arts Center museum because they had the Rodin sculpture garden on exhibit. For my next painting assignment, we’re supposed to reinterpret any piece of art, and I wanted to see “The Gates of Hell” in person before...

I use this phrase a lot- ” I feel like a sheep.”
And I know that a lot of people don’t understand my metaphors, or phrases. So let me explain, Tiffany Vocab #1 - ” I feel like a sheep”
ie: when something happens and you feel bright, bubbly and warm to the center of your core. That feeling overtakes you, making you feel like a cute and cuddly sheep. Result of this...
