You reminded me to go check out a trainwreck of a livejournal I came across once. I'd pop by every few months, and inevitably something newly terrible and/or horrifying had happened to this person. It was amazing.

I'm seriously cosidering asking for a link.
On one hand, its funny because people usually do it to themselves. On the other hand its like watching a person living their entire life trapped in the basement of an outhouse and then laughing at them for it.
I'll pm you if you like, but I won't direct link inthread because I actually feel genuinely bad for this person, don't want her tracking back to find her life's now a spectator sport. I mean, moreso than it already is.

Okay, curiosity has overtaken me. Fire away please!
I wouldn't mind that link myself, Tynic. I love reading other peoples journals, like real ones and not the sort of opinion blogs that most people keep now. I sorta wish journal writing was more common and encouraged. Its such an easy way to mine for characters when you can read peoples personal rambling.
Yay I might be adopting a new pup! I'm not getting too excited yet because I still have to go see it, but it looks like a cool pup from the crappy cell phone pic they sent me. (its a min pin)

Funny how you say this when she's made a blog with its own URL and ads and everything.
hey friends! i got accepted into the illustration academy!
it's a month long intensive workshop where you train under people like john and mark english, anita kunz (omg) chris payne (omg) and other friggen disgustingly talented illustrators
I am so pumped I may explode
if any of you are in the kansas city area, I will be there from May 30th to June 25th-ish

John is a great guy. You are going to love the experience. I went twice it was so great. And they used to offer a crazy discount for the second time around as well.
Also.. tell jane radstrom and trey bryan hello for me, they will most likely be helping out as well.

this is going to be a wonderful adventure into the depths of lovecraftian terror and madness.
Beavo, I just visited your website. You did three years of neuroscience at Dalhousie University? What?
Do you mind explaining?
she studied neuroscience for a while but then found she preferred art
Well yeah Tam, I figured it was something like that :P, but things get more detailed and nuanced from story to personal story.
Like in my case, last year I made a decision to go into pre-med. But the decision wasn't just like, "Fuck art. I'd rather be a doctor." It was more complicated than that. I love art; I was all ready to go to art school (probably animation, hadn't yet decided), but then some stuff happened. My grandpa (a great guy and my number one artistic role model) found out he had stage IV lung cancer. It was horrible, but with the help of his doctors, he has made an incredible recovery. The whole process was amazing to witness. And yeah, other factors contributed to my choice of pre-med, but that particular scenario was principle among them. My grandpa's doctors did great work, and it was very inspiring. My point here is: that's just a little part of my story thus far; life can get very complicated.
Beavo's story sounds interesting because she's obviously a successful artist, and it seems like she hasn't had the most typical background for being an artist. She does great work that I personally respect and love to look at, but maybe she didn't start out wanting to be an artist. Maybe her personal history has been more complicated than "she studied neuroscience for a while but then found she preferred art". People's stories deserve to be told, and details are the spice of life.
Also, two of my friends are going to school for neuroscience. They're not very deep into their programs, but they both seem to like it so far. For my own future, I'm not ruling it out as a potential career path.
Sorry if any of this is at all incomprehensible. I had an A&P lab final today, and I was up most of last night.

cool story!
neuroscience was sort of the "safe" move for me
i've always loved both science and art, science just happens to lead to professions (med) that make a lot more money than most artist positions can
I quickly realized (maybe not so quickly... it took me 4 years) that in order to be happy, you can't always take the safe route
and I've stuck to that mentality since
and it has gotten me what a lot of people call luck, what i call "stick to your shit, do what makes you happy, don't just follow what's popular and what people tell you you should be doing and good things will come of it..." throw a bit of good timing into the mix and it all starts to come up roses.

Three weeks later, this happened.
Coincidence?

your life is sucking up all the awesome in the atmosphere.
In other words, awesome job!
Grats, Beavo, but I'm afraid tynic's got the right of it.
