Art Post 9: Andy and Emma

I did this one for my dear friend Andy. He's a huge Emma Watson fan, so I made him a coloring book page of this image:

and replaced Rupert Grint's head with his.
Write their romance! :)

Self-indulgence fills space, kinda

Hello there!
I've been slow on the writing front, and it aggravates me, but I just wrote a note on Facebook of 25 things you should know about me, and a dear friend of mine suggested putting the list on my blog, so I will, to hold over til i write something better :)

25 Things:

1. I love. It's kinda what I do.

2. If I'm more than a mile from an auditorium, I might die slowly and painfully. It's not a big deal.

3. I always, ALWAYS carry a pen, to doodle on everything.

4. I've had brain surgery! *rubs belly*

5. The thought of vegetables that squeak skeeves me out.

6. My friends are my family, and my family... well, theres ups and downs, but I live with them, so I make do with what I get and love every bit of it...

7. I've been told im smart. I'm not. I just think a lot-- sometimes, too much for my own good

8. I like making others happy; it's my favorite pastime.

9. Just cuz I'm smiling doesnt mean I'm happy. For all you know, I could be pretending to be happy to not alarm you, or to make you happy. I'm an actress, after all, pretending things to make people happy is what I do!

10. Give me a plate of meat or starch, and I will eat more than your average grown man. I eat a lot. It's rather enjoyable, actually, this whole taste thing, you should all try it!

11. Co-ed dressing rooms all the way. It takes all the sting out of any gender-based invasions of dressing rooms. I mean, if you're in the girls' dressing room and a guy bursts in with a few buddies, it's alarming, and girls scream; but if a guy walks in on a co-ed changing room with girls in it, thats not a big deal. They can't scare you. It's wonderful!

12. My biggest fear in life is dying before I can make the world a better place, or do some good for someone. Which is a lot better than my first real paranoid fear at age 7, which was taxes...

13. If I were Jewish, I would so want Kalia to be my mom. Or maybe Margie. But then I might fight too much with Andy if we were related, so I'm gonna stick with the beautiful glorious Kalia Lay-stien, the best Jew of them all!

14. I always have my phone with me, usually in my front right pocket. People say I might have the lowest sperm count ever, if I don't watch how often I keep it there. Silly people!

15. All the introspective, singsong-ish, emo as fuck statuses I post are lyrics; but half of them, I wrote myself. Yeah. I kinda wish I could compose instrumentals to go along with them, but hey, it's not like they're good enough to sing. And it atleast beats keeping a diary, in my opinion.

16. I really really really really really REALLY want a Ryobi Lithium-Ion 18V Compact Drill Kit. Alot. I have for years. It's becoming a problem.

17. I've never given birth, but I know a lot of beautiful talented girls and a couple of awesome guys who call me mommy. It's strange, but then again, so am I. It does tend to alarm girl/boyfriends (mine AND theirs) who aren't already part of the theater group... Ah well, sucks for them! :P

18. It's not that I look for something to admire in everyone. Those things just show up on my radar on their own.

19. I reminisce a lot, about the days on covert street or before I could honestly say I'd had friends I no longer talk to. I've had the immense privilege of having met a lot of amazing people in my day, and the fact that I haven't really spoken in years to many of the poeple who've changed my life makes me very sad...

20. Knowing that there are some people afraid of me because I'm too outgoing/eccentric/nerdy makes me sad, both that someone's afraid of me, and that humanity can fashion such fears from hearsay and off-the-cuff judgements. So I try hard not to think about it.

21. Every teacher in the Schreiber Social Science Resource Room knows me, and calls me by my name. Apparently they call me "the" Sara Lyons. Because there's definitely a distinction to be made between me and all the other Sara Lyonses in school, of course, lol :P

22. My full name is Sara Bridget Dymphna Lyons. So whenever I'm in a class with a lot of Saras, as I often am, people tend to call me Lyons or Dymphna/Anhipmyd/Dympsie, or nukka. Nukka works too.

23. Referring back to #2, I'm Drama Club president next year! Which I've been wishing for since like 4th grade, when I heard such a thing existed in old-people-school. So yeah. Anyone who was afraid of an absentee president, that ain't happening. And anyone who has questions or suggestions, please feel free to tell me your thoughts! It's a government by of and for the people, so the people in question are more than welcome to tell me and the board what they want of us. That's how it works lol

24. I cried when I heard Isaiah Mustafa was retiring.

25. If I were a "boy," I would be Eddie Izzard. I hope.

Art Post 8: Dear Diary...

A page from a "diary" I tried to keep, but failed to do so for. So I drew on it! Have fun psychoanalyzing! ;)

Shine

It's getting kinda late, babe
Why don't you come to bed?
Lie down here beside me,
And rest your weary head.
It's pitch black outside babe,
But we don't need a light--
Curl in close to me now,
And I'll keep you safe tonight.
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always shine.
Winter's drawing close, babe,
The wind 'round me is cool,
But you keep my heart fuzzy and warm,
And keep my mind a fool.
A cold frost veils the world, babe,
It's brittle from the chill;
But what we have is something
No frostbite could ever kill
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always
Shine through the darkness,
The bitterness around us,
The hurt that tries to pull us apart.
When you've got nowhere to go,
Always know,
You've got a place,
Oh, you've got a place in my heart
The hour's getting late, babe,
But you don't need to go--
Stay with me a while;
You're all I need to know.
Everyone's so cold, babe,
But I'm warm when I'm with you.
Love me for a lifetime,
And, hand in hand, we'll make it through
Wrap your arms around me,
And whisper how I'm yours;
You know I'll be there always
When the world shuts its doors.
Just hold me until morning,
And I will know you're mine,
Cuz when the sun blinks out
And it's dark all around,
Our stars will always
Shine

Just something i whipped up. Thoughts?
