Petty annoyances

[beandelphiki]

Oh, one really bad thing about being a wannabe sk8er boy and doing drag...I got bright red permanent lipstick on my hat, somehow. Ugh.

*spends 20 minutes scrubbing it off*

Today My Sister the Artist informed me that my father downloaded a 30-day free trial of an animation program. The kind of animation program that will make blinking letters on icons, and cool stuff like that.

But it will also only last for twenty times having the program opened.

So, to spare my artistic genius sister all twenty open-programs, I am forbidden to TOUCH this thing.

Sometimes, I really fucking hate my sister.



Later in the evening - just a little while before I would take my evening shower, as it so happens - my sister comes up to my room and bangs on my door. "Come see my first animation!"

"No."

"C'mon!"

"Fuck off."

"Fuck you!"

...Well, sorry, but I consider jacking off a more productive use of my time, thank you.

Hmm, yeah. It's my opinion that if one sibling is very talented at something, it's LESS likely that the other sibilings will totally UNTALENTED at that thing. But my parents have a way of splitting us. She's The Artist, I'm The Writer. Which is not to say that she has no writing talent - she does. In my complete modesty, I have to say she's not as good as me, but she has some writing skill.

I didn't think I could draw at all, mainly because of what my parents said until a little while ago. I tried to draw a few cartoons (cartoons are my sister's strongest suit) and discovered I wasn't half bad at it. There's a lot of similarity between my style and my sister's, too (which I think only helps support my theory.) It makes me wonder...if I hadn't been actively discouraged from drawing when my sister's talent was "discovered," I wonder if I might be close to her artistic equal at this point. Pure speculation, though.

Blah, blah...I'll stop rambling now. :)
