"Why Must I Be Mediocre?" | Oct 8 07

Oh why, why must be I be so mediocre? I’m a weeping willow, I tell you. A stinkin’ willow.

My shading is far from being desired. But it’s about the highlight of the entire day. Unless anyone would care to partake into knowing that my father shoved me into the doctor’s office and attempted to annihilate (I can’t say that enough) the birth mark on my left arm through the use of icing the thing with nitrogen.

At the moment it’s swollen as a grape fruit. I’m sure that somewhat enlighten your day. Somewhat.

I need to get my blogging jive back. Desperately.

Awww! Hey Austin! I haven’t talked to you in a while. I love the new look! Very authentic. That sucks about your arm. Did the birthmark look that bad that you had to get it removed? That gives me the shivers. I would’ve hated for my parents to make me do that. By the way I like your artwork. I really like the original picture of the girl. Very pretty.

I hope you haven’t forgotten about me. I miss commenting. I’ll be back to comment again. Chow.

I hate coding wordpress themes, thats why i changed back to my blog. OO A new theme. Its so cool and neat!!!!! If only I could do something like that.

Hahaa, I don’t have any patience to shade or anything. I just draw something, colour it in roughly and leave it at that. Good work!!!

Man, I hate liquid nitrogen thing, I had to have it on my foot because of the warts produced there for not wearing my slippers and geting all these germs into my feet. I had it at least 3 times. It hurt LIKE hell, plus I had to walk home and it was horrible.

Don’t worry! You’ll get your blogging jive back. Someday. Maybe not next week, but SOMEDAY! Hang in there!

Well, some people were just not meant to draw. But if you really want to, you’ve got to practice, hey? Practise. Practice. Which one?! You will draw some day, my friend, if you practice (practise?) a lot and try very… very hard.

I don’t really do sketches, though. I don’t have the patience, I press too hard, etc. etc.

Is the birth mark really that bad? I have two zillion and one natural spotty dotty ‘beauty spots’ I inherit from my mother… but they sort of distinguish you. Even if it’s a big huge ugly mark. Except if it like, covers half of your face. Then you can ‘annihilate’ it.

Yes, the picture is lacking in some areas. But, it’s better than what I can do!
So the birthmark still shows? Why did he want to remove it?

LOL. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You have room for improvement, and it can be done. Anyone can learn how to draw well with practice. It just takes some people more time and practice than others. So if you are not satisfied with your art, means that you can still do more practicing and that you will get better with time

My little sister used to think that she’d never learn how to draw and over the years of practice she’s become very good at it. You can do it!

Make. Your. Site. Load. Faster.

Oohhhhh Austin, why must you pwn me soooooooooooOOooO? You deflate my egoooOOoO.

Sing that in your mind. With the terrible voice. You get the picture. But what about Princess Diana? Does that really matter? If it was some crazed terrorists idea of an attack, it would’ve been sussed out already, and everybody would be panicking already.

Did that make sense?

Oh yeah, methinks you have your blogging jive back. It shone through in the comment my friend.

I love the new layout It looks very professional! Yikes, that sounds painful as heck! Is your birth mark gi-normous or something? My cousin has a huge birthmark with hair that grows on it (a very hmm, disturbing site at times) but it’s not a problem.

How’s school BTW? And PS, do you have a page for your affiliates?

I have no idea about how to make your site load faster. I don’t think it has anything to do with the images, though. Host them on photobucket?

Or maybe it’s just my computer. My computer seems to butcher some of the best sites sometimes. Hmmm.
