Description
My friend came over the other day and we had this weird arting party thing. Basically I showed him a bunch of painting tricks and he showed me a lot of his marker work, and I sort of drew this as an... example picture?It's just a bunch of BALD, SEVERED HEADS with a dramatic background :I
But I figured I might as well submit it anyway.
Can you tell that I don't like drawing hair

we should do that! that would be cool
i could teach you painting things
and you could teach me how to be awesome
like, after you leave i'll have sunglasses made of my enemies' blackened souls
and i'll have a jet-powered skateboard surgically attached to the bottom of my feet
and i won't even have hands anymore, i'll just chop those off and attach some boomboxes so that i can ride around nonchalantly listening to edgy music
it'll be amazing

dear lord you have no clue how hard this just made me laugh
well, i don't know about teaching you awesome, but i can teach you how to fake it like a boss while still remaining a giant nerd?
because that's really what i do
but yes
sunglasses are a must they need to be forged under very specific circumstances for the souls to reach just the right shade of badass.
the most amazing.

that sounds like the best skill ever C:
they have to be just badass enough to obscure your eyes, but not so badass that you can't see and you start tripping over all the cool-guy stuff that's strewn about your surroundings.

Oh my goodness... You must do a drawing video some day... Just set up a camera and show us how you do this...
It's really amazing, and every piece of artwork you do is so wonderful to look at. <3

you too! how was your hanukkah?
and that's okay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
eh- it's not a big deal as far as jewish holidays go.
There's a saying to sum up a large percentage of them (jewish holidays)
"they tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat" here it's,
let's remember all the times they tried to kill us and we survived,
while playing with fire then eating.

i've heard that hanukkah isn't really as big of a deal to jews as christians think it is.
gotta love burning things and eating food, though.

I do indeed. It's only a big deal to the hasids(orthodox people)
but then, all the everything is a big deal to the orthodox.

Like how apparently it's not possible for me to completely convert according to them because I'm not Jewish by blood. Or how even if I was desperate to become an Orthodox Jew, they would attempt multiple times to mislead me, avoid me, and make me give up before allowing me to study for x amount of time to become a partial Jew who will never be truly Jewish, but my children would be. If they were my birth children of course.
Ahem. I'll stop comment stalking and complaining now. My apologies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually, i've heard of the part about how orthodox jews repeatedly discourage the people who want to join them before letting them convert. and although i think it's wrong that they're judging you by your heritage, i thought that bit about putting you through tests of will seemed really cool. i mean, at least they're being real with you.
it seems like a lot of times these days, all you have to do to become part of a group is say that you identify with that group. and that's it. you don't go through any tests and nobody questions you and a lot of the time, you didn't think your decision through and you end up regretting it.
and that's okay with minor decisions like picking up new hobbies and stuff, because you can always drop it later and it's not a big deal.
but i think you should be challenged a bit when you're making big decisions like converting to judaism
or changing your name
because sometimes you end up regretting it and you have to change it again
and people might not be as cool with it when you're changing it for the second time in a row
okay i will shut up now and stop being an asshole
i'm sorry

And honestly, a name switch is the least of my worries at the moment. I have bigger things to deal with than trying to deal with all the confusion and annoyed people and idiotic side-conversations and the joy of my parents attacking me yet again. Right now, anything related to trying to define myself in other people's eyes is the last thing on my mind. I'm just trying to get through this damn year because honestly, I have less control over my life than ever and I hate it and I just need to shut up and deal because in all truth, no one gives a damn what I or anyone else does so I need to be ready to pick myself back up.
I'm sorry for ranting. This really isn't directed at you. I'm just sort of sick of the shit people have been saying to me, none of which has been said by you, but you were just the one lucky enough to strike a delicate thing at a time when I had just been attacked by various people for completely different reasons that are even more so delicate. Don't feel the need to reply.

What kind of shit have people been saying to you?

It's really not important. I've just been getting a lot of cracks about my weight lately. And about other components of my physical appearance like my hair. And a few people I know for a fact have been talking about me behind my back after I stupidly opened up to them. I'm just sort of sick of constantly being judged. But I mean, that's life. It's never going to change. I just need to grow up and get used to it. It's just people have been hitting on my insecurities and identity more and more as of late and it's been difficult.

I understand being challenged. I just get a bit miffed when the only reason they're challenging me is because my blood apparently isn't the same as theirs. And I'm not converting to Judaism. I just went through a period where I was trying to find just one group that I might be able fit in with rather than having to go to my church every week and having to deal with people talking about me behind my back.
Just for the record, the reason I changed it twice was because I thought people would freak out if I went to it directly. I knew where I wanted to go with the name. I was just too chicken to go to it directly. I also hate making a fuss especially over something about me so it was either change twice or never change. I'm probably not going to be changing to Elliot during high school for that very reason. I don't want to make anyone annoyed. I'll just wait til I move out and am far enough from my parents for them to get too pissed and change it then. I've only asked one person to call me Elliot because they were trying to come up with another name for me anyway. And in all honesty, I only told you because it seemed appropriate in the moment. I'm not asking you to call me it.

Okay, that's what I hoped, I just wasn't sure.
But you shouldn't make yourself unhappy just because you don't want to piss anyone off. If you're comfortable enough with going by Elli that the struggle to change it again during high school wouldn't be worth it, then you should put it off until later. But if you're really desperate to change it, you should do it.
Or you could choose a middle ground. Like it could be your nickname, but not the name that you officially go by.
I'm sorry about my whole comment earlier. That was just a huge bucket full of me being a douchebag

It really mainly wasn't you. I've been trapped with my family and almost no outside contact for the past two weeks. And my grandma's been rather awful. I've been so close to snapping and I knew that it was only so long til I was triggered by someone. You just had the luck of being the unlucky one to get my attack.
I'm okay with going by Elli. I think that if I tried to go by anything else my mom would actually murder me in my sleep. I'm not all that desperate to change it. Elli is a lot better than Maddy so as long as I can get far away from that, I'll be good. Just because of how I define Maddy in my head. Part of my crap that I made up about Elli being more grown up was true in the way that Maddy in my head will always, always mean girl. That's what I couldn't deal with. I felt like I was walking around with a big label on my head saying "girl". And I realize Elli is still a female name but it doesn't feel like I'm walking around with "girl" written on my forehead to me. I'll probably switch names when I head off to college but at the moment, as long as I'm distancing for Maddy, I'm fine.

Did you cut up an Italian Harry Potter book for that?

It was just the same Italian romance novel that I've been gradually chopping up since the summer.
But now that you mention it, I see what you mean O:
