Things I'm obsessed with:September edition

 

Obsessing can be good. Obsessing is good for an anxiety-addled person like me- it's fun to obsess.
Can you guess what this post is about- ha, whaddya' know? It's obsessions
Anyway.
1. Blurryface- I know- everyone has been obsessed with Blurryface (twenty one pilots latest album), but it's only really hitting me now. I was listening to Ride last night- it's my favorite- and I haven't really listened to it with my nice DJ headphones before. I did, and I literally started crying at the beauty of it. So,  yes. Also Amazon and I are going to be Josh and Tyler for halloween.

HAVE

2. Markers- MY MARKERS. WORK SO WELL. AND THEY MAKE THINGS LOOK NICE. That's literally all I can say right now- Markers GOSH maaerkers

WANT

3.Web comics- I've got so many webcomics I love- Kid N' Teenagers, 4 Panel Life, Owl Turd, etc. I  really want to try writing one- I actually think I'm going to use the characters from the comic I'm writing in a mini-comic thing, just because I absolutely love them and they are adorable. Prepare for Maye, Veronica, and Michael, folks- Just wait till you meet Adam.

Coming soon; my children

Anyway, there are so so so many more, but it's Bean's time to use the computer. Seeya' friends!

Just a REGULAR DAY

The magic of having laptops in school; when finished a  math test you can type up a post.

I haven't been writing very much lately. I've been putting posts up, but they haven't really been anything that contained substance or required effort. I could come up with an excuse, but I don't really have one, to be honest.

Sure, I've been busy, but I haven't been any busier than I am any other day of school. I just haven't been that creatively inspired; it's been getting better, but I just go through these droughts of absolutely no ideas. Then, like a dam breaking, it all comes forth, and I scrabble to get everything down on paper so I can use it during a drought. Like water storage, but much less 'important.' 

Math class means my teacher being mad about us not answering questions. It means awkwardly sitting next to someone who used to be my best friend , but is just a friend now. It means sitting in the corner after I've finished my homework, either drawing or stalking Rookie Mag or doing this. 

If you can't tell, I'm in a pretty melancholy and existential right now. As I sit here in this perfectly ordinary moment, all I can think about is when I will long for moments like this. Small, obscure, comfortable in it's teenager uncomfortableness. Just a regular day. 

Regular days are what I'm focusing on, really.

Too many sometimes, not enough other times. There is never really a 'just right' amount of regular days. We are always either bored or overworked. 

But I feel like this regular day just feels better than they usually do. The cloudy sky seems prettier, my classes seem more refreshingly mind-numbing, I'm more at peace and satisfied with my role as a high-school nobody than I usually am. 

What makes an exceptional regular day? Is it the acknowledgment of it? Do I have to be aware of how normal it is to enjoy it? 

Maybe it's just in the air. 

Anyway.

Not much other news today. I'm a part of the National Art Honors club now. Band is simultaneously getting better and worse. We had a sub who looked like this guy;

Have a regular week, readers.

Otaku Fate

Howdy friends! Sorry I haven't done a post in a while. I have managed to make myself horribly sick within the first week of school. Now I sound (and look) like a corpse (what do corpses sound like? Me.) and barely struggled through picture day-bleh.
Anyway, to pass the time, I finished another manga that I have been really into lately;
BEAUTY POP
Am I an otaku? Yes. Why didn't you know this? Beats me. This is the third manga that I've really gotten into (1. Fruits Basket- quite possibly the most perfect series ever and 2. Sailor Moon- it was good but also kind of meh) and I will let you know: I WAS VERY SATISFIED.
While starting out the series, from books 1-6, it's pretty frustrating because the characters seem pretty static and unchanging. Narumi ( the blonde dude)is always mad at Kiri ( the blonde girl). Kiri doesn't care and makes Narumi mad. Ochiai (dude with glasses) likes Kiri. Does Narumi like Kiri? We want him to, but he's always mad at her.

I was very frustrated with this, because it seemed like everything I wanted to happen was never going to happen (more time with Shampoo the cat, less  time with Ochiai-ugh- More Kirumi (Kiri X Narumi) cuteness...) Then I ended up checking out books 7-10 and BOY. WAS. I.
SATISFIED.
I've decided to organize my normal reaction to ending a series I liked with images from Beauty Pop. Here they are:
1. Shock- Right after you close the book. Right after you know how it ends. Right after you realize things will never be the same. You haven't fully processed that it's over yet. It's not over yet. It can't be, right? It CAN'T BE. RIGHT. This stage has the weirdest time span; it can be seconds or days before it ends and it finally hits you.

2. Temporary Death- This is when it hits you. You realize that you will never have the blissful quest for the end anymore; it's over. This is the most violent stage. It includes book throwing and yelling despite the fact that your voice isn't working.

3. Mourning- the final stage before acceptance. You are sad. Very sad. You loved this series and now there is no more of it. It's still there, of course, but not in the same way. This is a hard hard phase, but just remember...

There are always more manga out there.
And there is also rereading the same series fifty times. That works too.

Ort of the week

It's been the first week of school. Sorry I haven't been posting- I'm very tired and busy after spending all my energy on people. Here is an ort I did based on an outfit I saw at school- also I'm typing again! My fingers are a bit stiff though, so my tan and pale peach colors are the only markers I can open- thus the only markers I used. Plus watercolors. And whiteout.
Anyway.
See y'all later. I am going to eat.

Made Me's Day

The title is a clever pun on the fact that this is a post on MadeMe's Fall 2016 thing. It really did make me day, it's the perfect thing to distract from school tomorrow.

Sorry I don't have much to say. I just got my stitches out, and this is my distraction. Look upon this beauty.

Something to wake me up

School approacheth. I have been slacking and sleeping in late, but this morning my dad dragged me out of bed to get me in shape for seminary. I fell asleep after getting up in bed, then on the couch, then at the kitchen table.I figured I better find something to wake me up, so I logged onto the computer. Boy, did I find something to wake me up.
So I have been quietly crying over Rodarte's Fall 2016 Ready-to-wear show since then and figured "oh, I should do something semi-productive about it"...

1. First favorite thing; The beauty. It really made this collection for me; the dark purple/ black lipstick, the thick eyebrows, and natural hair. It evokes this image of a young girl trying to be goth, smearing on this lipstick and seeing how it looks with the neat (yet messy?) hair her mom styled that morning. Maybe I have a weird attachment to high fashion goth culture (I feel like I review dark and sinister shows more than any others...) but this collection justifies my love for it.

2.The hair flowers- This is kind of an obscure detail to list, but seriously. Look at them. It's been done before, but there is something about the mix of hair bouquets, lace, and victorian-esque silhouettes that simply makes my heart sing. That's all I can say about it.

3. Last, lace. I love lace. I have lace curtains. Lace edged blankets. A couple of lace dresses. I love how feminine and sweet it looks, almost as if it is spun sugar sweet- you see it and think "it's so innocent but... what if it's not. It's too cute. Too girly. What does it have to hide" and suddenly, lace is creepy and dark.
