"You...don't wanna go for a RIDE, do you?"

Geezes, I love Aladdin.

Anyways, the more I draw, the more I find myself drifting from manga to a mix of manga and Disney. I kinda like it. And it's great, because that's kind of my theme for my portfolio this year. I'd upload some stuff but a)the pieces are too big and b)I can't set up the new scanner for the pieces that DO fit.

I sometimes feel like I'm getting worse at drawing, which is probably why I always want to show it off to people, to reassure myself that I'm actually getting better, based off their facial expressions when they see it.

I think my style is something I'm very close to defining now: something simple but detailed. A couple of people have said that when they look at my art, it looks like it's really simple but then when they look at it longer/closer they realize the small details I put into it(for example, drawing absolutely EVERY strand of curly hair 'til the whole head's filled).

I think what I like drawing most is the face...well, yeah, EVERYONE likes drawing the face, it's the first thing you learn. But it's the facial expression I like putting effort into, and the rest of the body has to flow along with that face. It reminds me of water.

I don't really have a point to writing this, I just felt like expressing myself some

When I was at Minto's house not too long ago, I had a very...weird dream:

I was attending some kind of potluck thing at a log cabin(more like mansion) with all these people I apparently knew. Then a nice old black guy with a sweatervest said that we should go to the movies sometime at Cityplace and I said it sounded like fun. At this point I woke up cuz Minto kicked me in the face. I fell back asleep and I was at "Cityplace"(quotation marks are used because it definitely didn't look like the Cityplace I know and love) with my "twin" that looked nothing like me. We were talkingto a police officer and he said people under 18 couldn't go to the movie theatre because there's a club going on--here, I looked over to the movie theatre and there's a roped off square of people dancing to some music and you can see kids dressed like they came from Hogwarts(the movie just came out the day I had the dream) behind them; the club was blocking the entrance. I explained to him that we weren't there to see the movie but to go to the barber shop located in front of all the action. He gave us permission to go.

We got to the "barbershop"(it was more like a display window for a really fancy dress store with a door and a swirly blue/red/white sign in front) and there was a sign hanging on the door that said it was closed and the lights were off. So, my twin and I sat and waited outside the door while I felt bad about not going to the movies with that black guy. Then this man with a really weird accent dragging a rolling suitcase yells at us to open the door, which we did. He ran in and sat himself in the back corner of the place and told us to close it behind us, which we did. "Are the orthodontists here yet?"--he looked scared shitless. We said no and my twin got in the barber chair and the two started to chat. He asked me if the orthodontists were here; I looked at the door and said no. He asked if I was sure and looked again--there were two tall men wearing black suits(one with sunglasses and a hat and the other had a tall flat heat(like Frankenstein's monster). They opened the door and the barber just started screaming like crazy. The "orthodontist" with the hat went out of my field of vision over to the barber and the other one bent over me(I was sitting on the floor), turned into a furry, turned back, and as I screamed no he "raped me"(I knew he was raping me, but as soon as I screamed no and his face was too close, it turned black). When the scene faded back in we were all back at the cabin with a lake in the background and we were all eating bbq that the furry/orthodontist/rapist made and some people were missing parts of their head. End of that dream (o_o)"

The most recent one I had was this:

I was accepted into this high-class boarding school. I got there with a whole group of girls plus 1 boy who had a loveable and timid little brother personality. We entered and you could look up and see a taaaaaaaaaaaall ceiling and at every floor there was railing. We went into a room and the headmistress said we were all to sleep in our assigned mattress only(the whole floor was covered in mattresses). I found mine and discovered that there was one free mattress in between me and another girl's. I asked her what would happen if I rolled over in my sleep and found myself on the next mattress; she said that as soon as I woke up to return to my original mattress before she finds out. We were all magically in out nightgowns and we slept.

The scene switched to what I guess was free time and I was wandering around the hallway and looking down at the empty floor below. Then I see my cat pass by on that floor; I somehow managed to reach the floor(poof XD) and I picked her up--I couldn't see her but I saw me eating with a fork and a knife and the food looked like chicken with fur. Then I see that my cat was put in a bento box with her head and tail hanging out and her legs were missing. I started crying and then I woke up. Naturally, I went to check my cat was still there.

..........As you can see, I have very strange dreams. These aren't at the top of the list, just the most recent.
