so, i've been noticing a couple things lately. the first thing is that i used to be somewhat close to my mom, especially when it came to creativity, but now when i finish a drawing or something i'm proud of, she doesn't act like she cares anymore. i know that she draws things more along the lines of portraits and things like that, while i'm more into cartooning, but portraits and cartoons have the same basic concept. i've noticed that when i finish or i'm in the middle of a cartoon or a short story, my dad and both my grandmas are (or act) sincerely interested. i also realize that i'm not the 'perfect' or 'ideal' person. i realized that a few years ago. maybe i don't like yellow sundresses, and prefer ones that look like something out of a tim burton movie. i will admit that a majority of my wardrobe is dark and/or screen-printed t-shirts and jeans, but i in fact have a hot pink t-shirt, and a lime green hoodie. (NOT EVERYTHING I OWN IS BLACK!!)or, instead of watching a chick flick on saturday nights, i'll watch sweeny todd or a random 80's movie. so what if i'm not popular or if i have less than five friends-i'm totally content with that. i've noticed some people are trying to get me to change those things around and become something i'm not.
***DRIVING UPDATE*** i was driving with my mom in an empty parking lot and i was doing pretty well. then she told me to turn, and i thought that she meant to turn by an island instead of by a sign, and i ran over a curb. something came out from the bottom of the car and now there is yellow paint on the wheel. surprisingly my parents aren't mad.
