I decided to become an animator.I figured out how you use tracing paper. No one told me for all these years that it's sort of like carbon paper! My brother's a jerk. I told him how it works and he said, "Yeah, I knew that since like, 2nd grade." Prat...

How to use tracing paper:

Trace the art you just drew onto the piece of tracing paper. Turn over the piece of tracing paper and cover the back of the piece of tracing paper with graphite lead. Turn the piece of tracing paper back over and place it on a fresh sheet of paper. Trace the art again and it will appear faintly on the fresh piece of paper. Make the lines darker and presto!

Now I want to make a movie. Now I have to figure out how I'm going to acquire 90,000 pieces of tracing paper. I'm going to have to write a novel (Write maybe, 5 pages a day.) and I'm forcing my husband to use his English Degree skills to turn it into a script. Then I story-board it! Then work tirelessly for ten years!

Now I just need an office and a schedule...Eh, what am I kidding, I'll probably stop with the novel. Animating is fucking hard:


These five pictures took most of my day.

Health note: Other than 6 disease/disorders. I'm fine. Except for the bipolar bit. My ex-doctor (who's dead now) prescribed me Lexapro before I was diagnosed bipolar. When I complained about the medication, he upped the dosage. Lexapro (an anti-depressant) makes bipolar people crazy. I mean uproariously suicidal crazy. They're generally only used for people with only depression/anxiety because of this. This explains my suicide attempt. Wish someone told me sooner. I was in plain euphoria when I took 20-30 pills of IBprofin. I was giggling most of the time, it was all very amusing somehow... I look back on it and think, "What the fuck brought THAT on." Now I know. I learned all this with my new doctor, who prescribed me a different anti-depressants that works o-k with bipolars. Cross your fingers.
