The Part Where It's Been a Long Couple of Weeks

Yeah, I'm going to be honest, the last couple weeks have been trying... Thank God for friends and family and all sorts of wonderful people.

Anyways, I've been all sorts of tired, so I haven't posted in a while, I know, but here are all the photos that I haven't put up since... April 26th:


April 26, 2013. Stayed the night down at LMU, because I initially was going to go to the SCAD presentation with my Kairos sister, but she realized she had Gryphon Games at that time, but she and my little still convinced me to stay down at LMU and hang out and watch Disney movies. It was pretty fun!


April 27, 2013. After the SCAD presentation, my parents and I wandered around the 3rd Street Promenade and watched some street performers. That little kid picked up a lot of the moves really quickly! He was pretty much adorable.


April 28, 2013. My parents are too freakin' cute. We went to see the Queen Mary in Long Beach. It was a ton of fun ^_^


April 29, 2013. My sweet other half. We are most definitely a we, and it is wonderful. Thanks for a wonderful birthday!


April 30, 2013. HI LILLLLL! Haha I have no idea why I took this, but here it is! haha


May 1, 2013. To be honest, I didn't have anything else to take a picture of. It's a set of rings I bought off of etsy, and I'm pretty sure it's one of my favorite pieces I got off that site.


May 2, 2013. On finding out about Fr. Mark. That was a rough day. Thank God for CLC... you all kept me sane that day...


May 3, 2013. At the Natural History Museum First Friday! It was great. Hi Film School Friend!! That crepe looks dewicious!!


May 4, 2013. Film School Friend again! She and her roommate had a one-year-anniversary-of-graduating celebration so E and I went over. Two days in a row! Jordan must be jealous.


May 5, 2013. At the airport, waiting for my flight home... Rough weekend.


May 6, 2013. It was, however, quite nice to be at home and comfortable with my parents


May 7, 2013. At the vigil.


May 8, 2013. At In-n-Out, just waiting. And eating, I guess.


May 9, 2013. Painting my letters to Ray. I've fallen hopelessly and irrevocably in love with watercolors. They bring me so much joy. Also, they've helped me realize that I have really strange coping mechanisms...


May 10, 2013. Post Bacc-Mass Party.


May 11, 2013. HAPPY GRADUATION, CLASS OF 2013!! You made it (as is obvious by the fact that you all threw your hats into the air!)!! YAYYY!


May 12, 2013. Painting partayyyyy.


May 13, 2013. The start of my first Doctor Who fanart. Because ... let's be real, I can't call myself an artist AND a fangirl if I haven't made a piece of fanart. So I did. And then I submitted it to the Doctor Who tumblr blog. Because I'm a fan girl. FANTASTIC!


May 14, 2013. Middle Earth, I miss you.


May 15, 2013. Late night showing of The Great Gatsby with E. It was a pretty good movie! I was impressed that some themes and parts of the book were clearer in the movie than they had been in the book. That kind of thing doesn't usually happen to me. It was fun to watch. Baz Luhrman definitely knows how to make a visually stimulating film.


May 16, 2013. After seven hours of being in-transit, the Middle Scanlan arrived! As you can tell, the little lady was not very happy with her crazy travel plans. But we made it up with Ayara and a trip to the movies to watch Star Trek. That was a pretty good movie too!


May 17, 2013. Being a tourist with Middle Scanlan. Hello Hollywood!!

Yeah, I mean, that's kind of it. I've been busy and trying to stay sane ... and missing a lot of people now that the class of 2013 has graduated. On the other hand, I've had a fair amount of time, so this happened:


It was floating around in my head, so I figured now was as good a time as any to actually draw it, and then paint it. It was a ton of fun because I got to use watercolor pencils and watercolors, and it was semi-therapeutic in the intensity and semi-monotony. Doctor Who has been such a joy to watch, so I figured I'd show a little appreciation for the show by submitting to the BBC America Doctor Who tumblr, so I made a tumblr and posted it. No idea if I'm gonna keep posting on tumblr, because I'm much more of a blogspot girl. But here's what I had to say about:

We all love the Doctor, and his zaniness, and the way he cares about every living thing, and we are all obsessed with his heart-breaking history, but I think the thing that makes my heart break the most is inevitably how alone he must feel all the time, especially in the in-between moments that we never see after he’s lost companions, when he has to slow down and think back to why he hates being alone.

It's a really fantastic character and premise, and I think I'm definitely a Whovian for life ... I'm a little bit surprised that I fell in love so fast, because there are some shows that I couldn't get into that are supposed to be much more critically acclaimed. But I suppose there's something a little endearing about the initially terrible VFX and there's definitely something amazing about the truly human elements of the show. I guess that's why it's a well-loved cult classic.  LONG LIVE THE DOCTOR! (who am I kidding? ... with his infinite regenerations he's going to outlive us all.)

Anyways, that's all. Good night all!
