Overcompensating For Recent Lack of Internet

Steve: Good for you, Rose, good for you

Me: Whatever. One of these days when I’m chain whipping it up and you’re like OH NO ROSE SAVE ME FROM THESE….GUYS…

Steve: Hahahahaha
Steve: Damn it
Steve: I laughed under my breath
Steve: And I’m with people

Me: THAT’S WHAT YOU GET

Steve: These guys
Steve: Haha
Steve: Oh my God
Steve: I almost burst out laughing

Me: Good

Steve: No
Steve: It’s over now

Me: It’ll happen though
Me: You’ll be walking across campus and some guys will like, REALLY want your calculus book or something, because I know you probably carry one of those around, and they’ll corner you like hey punk, give me that math book because I don’t want to buy my own, and the thought will float across your mind “I wish I  had cared more about Rose and her kung fu because maybe she’d appear on a rocket belt and take out thes-” and they will have punched you by then

Steve: I am not taking calculus
Steve: I am taking discrete math
Steve: But I did keep my calc books
Steve: Have no idea why I’d carry them around though

Me: Because you have a boner for math, Steve. Own up to it. I’m already embracing whatever this…tadpole fetish I have.

Steve:

Me: I already had to remove half of the tadpoles because I drew so many of them
Me: I was like dude STOP you are drawing WAY too many tadpoles

Time Warner decided to not provide cable to our house a few days back, so we were without dial tone and internet. Therefore, I was unable to look up pictures of plants and talk to my friends.

Wow. That last sentence. Wow. Reading it over…I want to delete it. But I won’t. I can look forward to rereading this post (after I’ve ideally moved on to bigger and better things) and vomiting a little. I can already imagine the taste of an antisocial teenage past curdling in my mouth.

Well, anyway, I AM working on a drawing (which involves tadpoles) (and plants) and although my drawing style leans in the 2D direction, I still need to look at photographs if I ever hope to accurately depict plants, because hell if I know how many petals daffodils typically have.

That’s a lie. I happen to know the general specs on daffodils; they have six petals. I just need collect my wiseass points for the day, and any wiseass will tell you, the only way to do that is by being a wiseass every chance you get.

(Then you can use your points to purchase wiseacres, which is crucial in expanding your territory. That you are the king of.)

So what I’m saying is, I have no problem drawing, for example, female figures, because, being a female, I am quite familiar with how they look. I’ll guesstimate that look at myself naked more than I look at plants, which I think is normal for most people. I hope.

I should research that. I wouldn’t want to like…accidentally be a freak.
