I'm a grown ass woman and it is such a slap in the face to look back at my life, I spent so much time here, so much time on the internet. Are any of you still alive?

I was just informed that works that are 'cartoony' are not art. And when I begged to differ they settled and said fine, that they were art. Just really bad art. Is this a common opinion? Do people really not hold things that don't fall into the realistic category in high regard?

When I say 'cartoony' I mean things that are not realistic. Because when this boy was referring to art he was referring to accentuated paintings and drawings of people that were very ... proper? and just realistic. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm upset that it was such a short run in with this individual and he got me so worked up so easily. My heart is in my stomach. I don't want this to be a common thought, that just because art is different, it makes one category 'better' than the other.

Hopefully I will forget all about this ridiculousness.

Highly doubtful.

I used folders in my gallery. So proud. Plus... I hate Lisa Frank. I tried to emulate her coloring style... who the fuck uses random gradients like her? Too digital and not what I wanted to realize about my childhood idol. So yeah, I can't do it. I guess I could try harder. But I don't want to! I hate gradients!

But yeah, there's some organization happening.

Idk how many I got rid of but it was a bunch. I'll say about 40. But yeah. It was brought on be me attempting to fill out that progress over 6 years meme. I realized I had little to none of my actual artwork on here/on my computer even. So I was like what the hell is filling up my damned account then? So I got rid of a bunch of it. I want to get rid of more. Maybe tomorrow. I'm cranky and am not looking forward to the next two weeks since they are likely going to be terribly void of someone. I would have gone too if I didn't have to work.

It's becoming quite the place to go for me. I went on a pilgrimage to the national shrine earlier this summer, and now I'm headed again for the national equality march. Conflicting purposes if I had to say so myself

If any of you live around D.C. the march is this Sunday afternoon. You should come walk with us.
