maybe you need a break from art? Do something fun?

How about reading? That always helps me at my worst, takes my mind away from the thoughts.

Yeah, I meant something that would give you a break from the pressure that you're feeling. Acting like a Demented Bunny might work, or calling your cousin, or something like that.

i can't i don't have the time. i'll be working next week and the week after. i can't read anyway because my attention span is too low.

well right now, since you're feeling so bad, you need to take a break. You know? You're more important than school. Maybe just watch tv for a half hour or something like that? Or talk to your sister?

i can't though:( i have so much to do starry. anyway they're all mad at me because i kicked them out of the kitchen so i could use the table.. i have to go shopping with ykw tomorrow so i won't get much done then either...

Come talk to Sue with us, please, ladyblossom. I think it would help her to hear your voice along with ours, at the moment. She's having a hard evening. Can you do that, please?

oh:( i have so much work to do:( i've just drank a load of coffee so i can stay up all night and work. i hope i get inspired..

I just hope you have access to a bathroom. :-)

And that you get inspired like Michelangelo.

Can you draw lying on your back?

yikes! good luck blossom!

oh....i've never tried.... i'm just not sure how i'm going to do this. i have to fill a sketch a2 sketchbook[40 pages] with studies of the shoe, but i have to make each page look different....

Time to get creative!

For instance, what would it look like if you were 3 inches tall and standing inside it? Heck, what would it smell like? :-)

Sweety, part of the difficulty is that it feels so serious and important that you're not letting yourself play with the idea.

ya i know... i can't help it i just panic. plus i don't think they want anything creative. i think they just want colour studies and textural studies and tonal studies and line drawings and all that crap

Hey, I know where you can get quite a load of crap, cheap. :-)

See, you already know what the enemy is, in this case. It's all that left-brain worrying and panic. The right brain already knows how to do this. It knows about color and texture and other artistic crap, I mean words. ;-)

You can do this, ladyblossom, this is your thing.

yeah I think you're an amazing artist blossom

yeah but it gets blocked. this is kinda what i was talking about the other day. i know it's in there somewhere, i just can't get near it. i dunno why..

thanks starry but really i'm not. last week my tutor was sitting down beside me looking through my work and as she was looking at it she said really loudly "how come i got the worse class?". so that shows i'm not good.

i found a photo of me taken on my first day of school this morning!! i look so terrified it's funny:)

You look quite peaceful, to us, ladyblossom. And furry.

Hey, I can think of lots of reasons for a teacher to say that, and have it have nothing at all to do with your work. For instance, if lots of people were talking, all of a sudden, she might say something like that to get them to quiet down. That would account for saying it loudly, too.

oh no, she meant that we're the worst class ever, coz we asked her..

oh marky!!! that's not me in the picture!!! i'm a dawg not a cat d'uh!!!

or she's just a nasty bitch blossom. not your fault.

duh malign!

Wouldn't that make the teacher the dawg ...

But yeah, I was just teasing. It's obviously not ginger enough, for one thing.

my junior had just the right amount of ginger in his fur. he took after his mother!!! he had some babies with a cat across the road aswel, we've noticed, coz there's a load of ones that look the exact same as him but they're wild and won't let us touch them. see, i've done my bit to save the ginger gene already:)

coffee kinda gets ya high, doesn't it?!!!!!!!!!!!
