So today I've started packing everything but the kitchen sink in preparation for Governor's School for the Arts two days from now. I'm going for Architecture; unusual for me, but it's Visual Art plus drafting, geometry and a lot of concept work-- I can deal. Plus, it'll get me maddeningly good scholarships just about anywhere in the state. I've met some other young artists, dancers, actors, singers, writers, and instrumenteers from around the state over Facebook, and it looks like spending three weeks with these crazy kids should be a ton of fun.
And, bonus, I'll have a bunch of new stuff to post up when I come back from my three weeks at Transsexual Transylvania University-- YAAAAY!

Speaking of a certain Sweet Transvestite, my back-from-college sis and I are introducing our youngest sis to Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight. It's kind of a weird rite of passage for the three of us: each of us saw it for the first time the summer before starting high school. Maybe it's a surreal, musical way of saying "You're not a kid anymore-- good luck out there!". So break out the red lipstick, kids, 'cause it's Rocky Time!

And speaking of Time...and a certain Rocky dance associated with it...remember that project I mentioned in my last journal that was supposed to be a means of introducing all the other Batman characters I'm missing? The one I'd said should be done before I leave for GSA?
Well...it's going slowly. As in, I have 2 out of the 26 done . I'll have it up eventually-- maybe have a good chunk of it done before summer ends.

So, question: who shops at Kroger? Have you seen those plastic M&M's statues that have the big holes in the sides that dispense candy bars? After seeing "Hannibal Rising", you'll never be able to look at them the same way again. Which made picking up barbecue sauce and hamburger buns with my sister a rather interesting experience.
I've got a sketch about it, and I'll post picture references for those of you who aren't sure what I'm talking about- you'll see what I mean

Besides all that, not much going on. I need to get more stuff together to pack in my ginormous duffel bag (no kidding- you could stuff a small body in there) for GSA. Maybe sketch some more and work on summer reading.

Don't do drugs!
