Yeah mostly painting but I like experimenting aswel! How are you feeling today?

I'm alright, I had court this morning for my car accident, so that was a nervous thing, but I survived. And I finally got a new car yesterday, so I'm happy about that!

What time do you work tomorrow?

Aww cool!! (not about court but about the new car!!)

I'm working 10 - 6. It's gonna be a horrible horrible day. Our mean manager is in tomorrow...

sorry if I'm slow to respond, I'm on my phone and it can be lame at times.

Don't plan for a bad day. I would suggest not letting the manager get to you. Mean people like that enjoy the fact that they can get you upset, just play it cool, my boss tries to pull crap with me, I used to get upset about it, but ever since I decided it's her problem, not mine, she can sense that and doesn't bother as much. Even when she does, give the silent treatment for instance, I just roll my eyes and enjoy the fact that I don't have to talk to her!

It's late invisible, well for you anyway, it's only like 8:30 here You may not be tired now, but you'll feel it when it's time to get up, that's what always happens to me! I can't sleep until it's time to get up, how lame!

You're right Star, I shouldn't care!!! Sometimes I just let these things get to me. I try to be nice to everyone but when they're not nice back I always get upset and think I've done something wrong when really I havn't.. I get 2 weeks holidays from work on Saturday anyway.. I just need to make it until Saturday and then freedom.................. I should probably go to bed soon. I'm starting to get dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep and I have a permanent headache and I'm starting to see double.. and I'm also having delayed reactions.. not good...

no not good! You need to sleep.

But yeah, I worry too much about that stuff too, but some people are just impossible and really if they're not important to you in the first place why lose sleep over them? Let them be miserable. I hope you get some sleep invisible.

Did you sleep Invisible?

Hey I got to see some really great art last weekend in Chicago before the training. A new Modern Wing has opened, and it's got tons of cubist paintings, my favorite. I found a youtube on cubism:

The music is awful, I had to mute it.

Hope your day is OK today:cool:

Hey finding!!! I slept a little bit...but I spent most of the night awake... again!!!!!!!!I feel like I'm walking around in in a bubble!!! I think maybe I will go to the doc for some sleeping pills if this carries on.

Wow, those paintings are really cool (but yeah, the music is awful!) I feel inspired now................. Ha, I wish my stuff was as good as that!

I'm just home from work:eek:

How was your day?

Yes, definitely see what the doc can help you with. You aren't drinking caffeine later in the day are you? That would keep me up. Exercise and meditation is another option.

I'm so glad you liked some of that stuff! There's a lot going on there, but I really get excited by the way they play with space. Those forms are floating but anchored in a purely design created way. Very fun for the eye to explore.

I want to find a way to do that!!!

No I just drink it some mornings to keep me awake in work...I think maybe I'm spending a little too much time on the computer aswel.

My art is so lost right now. I don't know what I'm at. I'm so used to working on assignments that I'm finding it hard to settle on just one idea. I have so many ideas but I can't motivate myself to use them. . Have you started working on yours yet?

Hi Invisible! I just got back from a 5 mile hike. Yes I am in the art mode. Mainly looking at art right now, but I'm hoping to keep it going. I can imagine it's quite an adjustment being your own taskmaster for art projects. I used to get together with others and draw (we hired a model) and that really helped. Do you have any art friends in your area?

whoa 5 miles is a lot!! I do have art friends that live kind of near me but I prefer to be on my own when I'm working on my art for some reason..

Do you like talking to them about art? We only did art together when we were chipping in for a model, though I have an art friend that likes to do an arty thing that she mails to her art friend and that friend adds to it then mails it back, and so forth. Going to art museums with art friends is fun. Are there any galleries around you?

It's funny because now that I think back on my old art course, we didn't actually talk about art much..ha!! I dunno, a lot of my friends from that course didn't do it because they loved art, they did it because they thought it would be an easy option and that it would be cool to be an artist.. so we spent most of the year talking about alcohol and going out and stuff like that.. There's only one tiny gallery near me. I wouldn't even call it a gallery - it's so small... It's the one that I had my piece exhibited in.

Is there any chance you could plan a trip to the city to an art museum with a friend? How about art books from a library?

Yeah I probably could. I find art museums to be a little overwhelming though.. there's too much for me to take in. I'm going to the library in the morning so I could probably have a look.

Are you sleepy? My friend who works 3rd shift just told me that if you walk around with sunglasses on, it might make you sleepy (!):cool:

No I'm wide awake!!! Ok, I'll put on my sunglasses! I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep properly again.. I'm going to be home alone for the next 2 weeks and it's gonna be so horrible being on my own.

The world is a magical place when we step out of our limiting thoughts. I'm not just saying that. I am on my own every night. I can walk in the woods in complete darkness (if it's a familiar place to me, so I know which way the path goes). This could be your chance to step out of those fears.

We'll be here for you, Invisible! When does it start?

They're going early saturday morning

It's going to be horrible. and I'll be on holidays from work aswel. I think the world is scary, especially at night..:(

Well let's work through that! Is that something you would want?

Oh god yeah!! but I don't think it's possible.....I'm waaaaay too paranoid.

Well OK, at least you know where our starting point is: probably impossible!!

Hmmm, yeah I suppose I'll just have to stay like this forever and ever until I die from lack of sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hah!

Question: what are the real dangers in your area?

I live in a crime area, and there are break ins, rapes, and general property damage. Not always, but sometimes.

Is your area like that?
