Today was good. Went fishing with Kae Lani and Jason and Vivi (caught nothing but leaves-- I went swimming though.. and Vivi went swimming to, hah), and then we got ice cream, and then Jason and I went to the Animal Sanctuary, and then I baked brownies while he talked on my iChat. I've been hanging out with Jason a lot since break began; I think there's only been 2 or 3 days that I haven't seen him at all. He is rad. I am glad we are unemployed together and live so close.

The summer has been pretty good so far, even though I don't have a job. I feel like I am living in the 70's. Without a job, doing as I please for the most part, having lazy days in nature, trying to find fun for free.

Even though I have finally gotten a handle on myself, I'm still trying to understand other people. I am a people observer, I will not lie. This has aided a great deal towards my drawing and perception. I try to notice the changes in people depending on mood, and quirks they have in general. I've only recently been trying to do this better by reading books on body language and whatnot. The problem is that everyone chooses to mask emotions, which makes it more difficult to understand them. I want to see if their physical processes have any correlation to their masking. My one friend, believe it or not, can see auras. I would like to see if there's a relationship between aural colors, human relationships, and if color theory has anything to do with it. THAT would be interesting.

Anyhow, I haven't drawn myself in a while. And also there are 2 portraits of my ancestors-- I was trying to see the similarities in our faces.
