I submitted this as part of my art school application. Prompt was:

A rubber ball, two inches in diameter. Make a list of 50 things you could do with this ball. OK, let's be reasonable, 25 would be good. OK, final offer, make a list of things, length of the list up to you... and the length of the list is not the most important thing, is it?

( Cut for length )
Not sure if this was what the wanted, but there you have it. I hope I get in LOL

I was talking to a friend about how the internet basically killed off for good the practice of pen-pals. And that got me thinking: Besides birthday gifts and stuff, the last time I sent a written letter was for my friend in middle school who was in rehab for cutting herself. In a goddamn monastery in Utah.

I never really thought about it until now, but she mentioned how the nuns there would tell her constantly that she would 'burn in hell' and other related things. And basically practiced exorcisms. She was one of the most popular residents, and received a metric fuckton of mail from people like me who knew her - phones and email were completely cut off, and this was during a time where both things were beginning to become commonly-used. Of course, my 13-year-old self could not really comprehend what this meant. In retrospect, her parents were almost certainly ultra-christian and likely perpetuated in the self-harm in the first place - who chooses a monastery for their child when there are qualified psychiatrists and physicians who could really help?

It makes me sick just thinking about it now. Luckily, in this age, I highly doubt that her parents' way of thinking will last another generation. The world is too full of information and people are better access to it than ever before. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part - but I feel like with the work that is being done here today, it could happen.

As for her story, well, I never really saw her again. She was a strong-willed girl though - who let as much off the stuff as one could roll off her back, so I think (hope) she made it through okay.

Gonna do some touchups later, otherwise pretty damn proud of myself.

Sister just drew this: http://fav.me/d4kch8i

So proud ;w;

I managed to finish an entire 16x20 pencil (which I suck at) portfolio drawing in 2 days, which was my set goal that I wasn't sure I would make. Feelin’ so good about myself right now. I am a slow-ass motherfucker so this would have normally taken me weeks. Have a shitty cellphone picture.

Now for my next image, which I am also giving myself a deadline of 2 days. I usually don't ask for this, but if you can please leave a note of encouragement or something to that extent. I want to keep myself going as hard as I can.

When I write a thoughtful and clear critique for someone on tumblr and they don't even bother replying, just 'like' it like a tool - I don't even know when I bother.

Now I feel like leaving snarky critiques on the awful art of poor noobs.

Should I insert gratuitous bondage into this super serious fic or stay classy?

If you don't mind a bit of snippiness:

Dear Coke Talk - Advice from a "coked-up party girl" (her words) with a healthy dose of cynicism, insight and magnificent bitchiness. In a very, very good way.

A good place to start: The hall of anti-fame, a collection of noteworthy posts.

This is the kind of magnificent bitch I want be more like. She does not like religion.

Apparently LittleKuriboh of YuGiOh Abridged fame has a fanfiction.net account in which he writes fairly bad non-hilarious gay porn of yugioh characters. I'm having a really serious time deciding if these are serious or a really weird attempt at a parody that is indistinguishable from the real thing, but I'm learning towards the former.

Man I'm really late to the party but I was laughing all the way through the BBT abridged movie and I decided to look into him further.
