Inside Kimmy's Mind

So today’s prompt was a tad difficult. Because I know what I ‘want’, but what I want isn’t always exactly what I ‘need’.

Today’s prompt was….

Needs and Wants.  What are some things that you need right now?  What are some things that you want right now?  Sometimes these two things are hard to discern right?

But some things could be considered to be both a want and a need. I want a car, because I need to drive to school, or work or home. Of course I need a job before that  I guess… also a license to drive it. >.< Also cheesecake is a want but if seen as food then it can be seen as a need. lol Ok that might just deal with healthy food and not sweets but whatever. lol I totally forgot to put this on my want list, but I WANT TRUEBLOOD SEASON 4 TO HURRY UP!!!!

Well see you tomorrow with prompt 16.

I have so many favorite quotes that its hard to choose.

So if you haven’t already guessed it, today’s prompt was….

What is your favorite quote?  Mine changes a lot because different things inspire me during the different seasons in my life.  Quotes are powerful reminders of the wisdom we can gather and share with others.

Of course I had to pick some of my favorite quotes written by Neil Gaiman.  Of course my favorite quote from him is like a paragraph long so I decided to go with the shorter quotes for my page. Plus this one was a tad negative so I tried to pick quotes of his that sent a sort of positive message.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

See you tomorrow with prompt 15.

This prompt was so fun to do. I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to draw but then I decided to draw my family as the Keroppi family. I love Sanrio, especially Keroppi. XD

If you haven’t already guessed, today’s prompt was…

Create a simple family tree.  Do this in a way that works best for you.  You can write names, doodle portraits, place actual photos, whatever!! It’s up to you  Use this prompt to document your family; as small or as large as it may be!!

This was such a fun prompt to draw out, I was extremely excited because I have such a great family and I am so grateful to be apart of it. Love you all!!!! I wanted to add my cats, but I wasn’t sure what to draw them as. I was gonna draw them as flies but frogs eat flies so that wouldn’t have work. And then I was gonna draw them as cat fish but still didn’t seem to work. So I ended up leaving them out. :/ But they are a part of my family as well and will probably add them in later.

See you tomorrow with prompt 14.

I had a lot of fun with today’s prompt. Already on day 12, its crazy how time flies.

Today’s prompt was…

Completely fill your page with line design!  Line design and geometrics have complete consumed my inspiration boards for awhile now.  The simple, yet complex designs are so aesthetically pleasing for me.  Have fun trying out line design, patterns, and geometric shapes on your page today.

See you tomorrow with prompt 13!!!

Do you ever get that feeling that something is missing, that you are forgetting something important? Lately I’ve been feeling like that. :/

Today’s prompt was…

What is your heart full of?  What are the things that are consuming your heart these days.  This could be things that are hurting your heart, breaking your heart, or making your heart so full of love.

I know I’ve told myself not to worry as much, but that is easier said than done. Lately I feel like I’m not doing something something. My heart is broken because of this worry. Its not broken due to the end of a relationship. Its just, I feel like I’m wasting my life and not living it to the fullest. I hope I learn what it is that I’m doing wrong. Because I hate worrying about things. Luckily its just parts of life that I feel like I’m living incorrectly, I have a wonderful family and awesome friends. All who love me a great deal so its not as if I’m saying my life sucks. Because it doesn’t. I just wish I could find out what is making me feel this way. I want to Carpe diem the fuck out of life. But sadly I can’t. :/

Sorry for being on the negative side of things…I’ll try to be more positive tomorrow with prompt 12.

I love the idea of  a time capsule. But I find my blog/vlog as a type of digital time capsule. It preserves memories. And I love that.

Today’ prompt was….

Time Capsule!  If you were to make a time capsule today, that wouldn’t be opened for at least another 100 years, what would you put in it??  You can be as outlandish with this as you want because it’s pretend.  What are some things that make you, you!

I was a tad bit lazy with my page today, I just wasn’t actually in the mood to draw today. >.< Please forgive me for today’s lazy page. But here are the items that make me “me”, but I wouldn’t be able to actually put them in a time capsule because I wouldn’t be able to be without them. :/ But for a hypothetical capsule, these are the items I would put inside.

1. Video camera
2. ipod
3. laptop
4. journals
5. pictures
6. DSlite

See you tomorrow with prompt 9.

A friend that I haven’t seen in awhile came to visit me today. Which lead me to be a tad bit late in posting. I keep forgetting to just do the pages early and I wouldn’t have this problem. I mean Janel is nice enough to post the prompts early. I should take advantage of it. >.<

So today’s prompt was…..

Write a love letter to YOURSELF!  This one is pretty self-explanatory.  You are amazing, now tell yourself you are

A letter to myself. I tend to worry myself a lot, so much so that I sometimes make myself sick with worry. I need to stop focusing on the fear of failing and focus on doing my best to succeed. I start my math class tomorrow, and I am worried sick. -.- But I need to take the time to embrace all of the things I am good at. I don’t realize how wonderful it is to be able to have hobbies. Not everyone has a creative hobby, and I have many. So…GO ME!!!

See you tomorrow with Prompt 7.

Ok. So I am finally enrolled at UH. Transferring is so complicated. -.- But I’m finally enrolled and now I just have to get a loan and then pay for classes and buy my text books.

The other day Kat and I got our new glasses.  Then mom took us to Hastings where I found the movie book of Mirror Mask for three bucks. Mirror Mask is one of my favorite movies. Its made by my favorite people, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. I absolutely adore them. So I was happy to find this book for 3 bucks when it originally cost like 16 bucks.  Mom also bought me these recycled paper journals from Target. I love getting new journals. I mostly update my blog now but I’ll write in a handwritten journal now and then. And for me you can never have enough journals. When I went to Borders I saw this journal. I love Paperchase its a UK brand so I can’t order this journal online. -.- Hopefully Borders will still have it. Anyway, Kat got this book called Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I read it in a day and half, I couldn’t put it down. What I loved most about this book  was that its written in both the main girl’s and guy’s pov. I liked Sam’s pov better because his thoughts were more interesting. Its romantic and exciting, its the type of book where you can’t turn the page fast enough, and when its over you are left with this achy feeling.  I cannot wait to read the sequel. -.- I usually always have a book to read. But I don’t have one. So I’m borrowing one of Kat’s yet again. She didn’t want me reading Shiver before her because when we read books we usually tell each other about the book we are reading. But she wanted to read this one herself. >.< I do the same with movies, I want to tell others the ending before the movie has even started.

So Cate came over last Saturday, and we played Just Dance on Wii. And that game is indeed a work out. My arms were so sore after playing. -.- I am sooooooooo out of shape. But I had so much fun with Kat and Cate. Then after dancing we ate dinner and sat and played Smash Bros and then took some pictures until my cam battery died. I should have charged it. Cate is so adorable. And I have so much fun when I am with her. I don’t really hang out with friends often I’m such a lazy person.

Ok so Kat and I went to the Orthodontist the other day. They took some pictures and x rays, then they made molds of our teeth which I thought I was going to choke when they were doing the top teeth. Next week we have another meeting before they can actually put braces on us. >.< I hate all this waiting, I just want to get it over and done with. Man people born with perfect teeth have it so easy. -.- But I just keep saying to myself that I will have perfect teeth too after what 2 years? I can do this. Right? >.<  Oh yeah I totally forgot I painted my second Munny last week. I love kid-robot.  This time I think I did a much better job on it. I used my cell case and ipod for inspiration. And I like it a lot, I think its so cute and it has more personality then the first one I painted. I should have sent this one to Hyun, but I couldn’t resist painting another one. >.<

In art, our assignment is to recreate a Greek myth in our own way. I immediately thought about Persephone.

Part one: Art and Myths

Ever since I read about it in the 9th grade I’ve never forgotten it. Persephone, daughter of Demeter(Goddess of Harvest), was abducted by Hades because of her beauty.He dragged her to hell to be his queen which angered and devastated Demeter. The earth became dead, and so Zeus demanded Hades to return Persephone to her mother, but it was already too late Hades had given her a number of pomegranate seeds. This traps Persephone in the underworld. During the fall and winter Persephone remains with Hades as the Queen of The Underworld. During spring and summer she returns to her mother. This was said to be the reasons of the seasons. I don’t know why why I liked this myth it was just the first one to pop into my mind when we were given this assignment. But after watching the new episode of Bones I’ve found a new myth that I might like to work on. Its Plato’s theory on soul mates. According to him, humans were actually beings with four legs, four arms and a head with two faces. “Zeus felt threatened by their power and split them in two, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them.”After this project our next one is to paint our favorite book. This one will be a tough one for me, since I love so many different books.Today’s song is a cover by The Bird and The Bee-Into Something Good

I’ll try to update more during this month. I haven’t been updating as much as I usually do and its time to put a stop to that. I hope my sister Mija is having a wonderful time in New Orleans. Be safe.

In my art class the next assignment is to paint two self portraits. One should be painted from life and the other can be more surreal or abstract.

I lack the skills to paint from life. I suck at drawing from life with a pencil let alone paint. And with that sort of medium you have more control over it and I am still horrible at it. How the hell am I supposed to paint from life? And I’m painting myself. I don’t like looking at myself in a mirror for very long. I’m just not sure how to start this. And I’m still not used to using acrylic paint. I don’t really like acrylic paint to begin with. I am a watercolor person. Anyway, so I need to start thinking of how to paint from life and and be happy with it. And not just keep using gesso over it. Bleh.

Moving on to clothes. I am loving putting different outfits together for class. Yay for finally dressing like a girl! I mix match different tops and bottoms to create totally different outfits. My classes are block schedule. So I am trying not to wear the same thing on the same day in the same class. I need to alternate and so I take a picture of my outfit every day before I go to class so I know what I wore on what day. Brilliant no? lol And also very vain. On top of the outfits is a nice hair style. I love trying different things with my hair. I really want to master the fish tail braid. But its more difficult than I thought it would be. And because of the Wear Pallet Blog that my sister talked about in an earlier blog entry. It made me want to pick out the colors in my outfits.

Then it started making me think of the meanings behind colors. Which again goes back to Mija’s same blog entry where she linked the Colorstrology site. Interesting things if you ask me. Next thing on my list of things to talk about is the book I’m currently reading. Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty. I am loving the character Jessica Darling. Her personality is close to mine minus the fact that she is a track star. lol But the random things she thinks and says remind me of myself. And isn’t that what a good book does? You are supposed to feel a connection with the characters of a book. Otherwise you don’t feel the need to continue reading on. And this book is the first one in a five book series. So thats good that I have books to read lined up. But I never have a problem finding a book to read. But this will fill the void until November and I can get the next book of The Immortal series. And until the next book of the Sookie Stackhouse books is made into paperback.

I have web design homework to finish as well as self portraits to start and a Gov. test to take this weekend online. Pretty busy. I hope next weekend I can start that Catering job a friend offered me. Heres hoping.
