She's Baaack

I must say, my Thanksgiving break this year turned out to be the BEST one yet! There was a total of 16 men and 4 women there...I met many of my second cousins for the first time and they were all crazy football fanatics. Literally, a football game would be on by the time I woke up in the morning, then they'd play some football outside, check their football stats online, talk about football, watch a few more games, then when it was too late at night, play football video games....Nonetheless it was cool to be emerged in the  Southern culture (SO MUCH SWEET TEA!!!) and spend time with loving family :)

Oh, and remember my crazy, sassy Aunt Ginger's picture for the family portrait a few months ago?

Well I got a new one that's pretty funny!

Anybody else bored over break?

So here I am...12:30 AM the night before Thanksgiving chillin' by myself. I'm not going to lie - break's been pretty boring so far; I'm stuck in Midland, Texas (Good ol' George W. Bush's hometown!) with relatives who are all too old to even know what blogging is. So what have I been doing? Watching movies back to back and listening to great music! I just wanted to tell you all about my favorite movie which also has the best soundtrack ever. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest you watch Garden State this break! This is one movie I can watch over and over again and never get tired of :)

Also, happy early Thanksgiving! Can't wait to hear about everyone's breaks!

Tradition!

The Lakeridge drama department just wrapped up their last show of the Fiddler on the Roof musical last night. For those of you who didn't get a chance to come see it, you missed one heck of an emotional and outstanding show...if I say so myself :) I can honestly say that being a part of this production has taught me more about myself and influenced me more than anything else I have done at Lakeridge so far. It's an experience I will never forget! Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you all because it has been a part of my for the past 3 months and it meant a lot. A thank you to all who came to see it and a big shout out to those who were a part of the show! Everyone rocked!

Concentration!

I hope everyone has solid concentrations by now and off to a good start! I'm nervous that we have to have two pieces done by this month...eek! My concentration is about human emotions and how people express them. I'm focusing on anger and frustration because those are the emotions that hit close to home for me lately. On Friday I got to have a mini photo shoot with some of the girls in the art class! Here's one of Eva and Allie that I think is pretty great. I'm a little torn on what sort of materials I should use and how to incorporate these images though!

Boo!

So here it is...our last Halloween at home forever perhaps! Mine has been the mellowest one ever though - we watched Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses last night which was grody but so hilarious! The clown man is one of the funniest character ha! Also, people told me 18-year-olds shouldn't go trick-or-treating but...psh whatever! I decided I had to go at like 8pm tonight and glad I did! All that matters is that people wear costumes and get into the spirit, not care about the age, right? Well I hope everyone else had a great halloween weekend too!
Happy Halloween!!

It's a Family Affair!

For our second Work of Art project we had to do family portraits...the first thing that popped into my mind was how my parents seem to care more about our cats now than me. Okay, I'm kidding a little, but it's still a funny concept. Below is an old picture of the family that I thought of at first, and the second one is the new picture I took of my parents, with my cat Sakura as the replacement child...It definitely shows some truth behind it haha

My Summer Work

So I finally uploaded pictures of the artwork I did over the summer! Here they are:
