I'MA GRAPIST!

In honor of Halloween tomorrow, I wanted to share a true story about something that happened last Halloween.

I was in my apartment complex's lobby with a couple of girls waiting to be picked up to go watch a scary movie at a friend's house.

Then suddenly, this happened:

Ignore Hitler - Or, How to Be A Troll On Draw Something

So since I'm in possession of an iPad now, I've been playing a lot of Draw Something. My pictures started out good enough:

Antlers

Bouquet

But as time passed on, I felt the compulsive need to make my pictures more and more elaborate, and make my friends work a little for those three coins:

Korea

Eventually, I decided it just wasn't enough just to draw a stupid elaborate picture. I needed some extra pizazz.

Gotye

And then I heard of this great idea: IGNORE HITLER

Armpit

It's simple, you put Hitler in your drawings, and then challenge your friend to ignore him.

Bunt (Yes, I know it's spelled "Bundt")

Dougie

Ireland

Lava

Pegasus

Toaster

Zebra

Pokemon 

P.S. As a brand new iPad owner, I just barely found out about the ability to take screen captures. Sorry about the crappy photos of the screen.

The Story of My Forever Alone Life, Part 2

I finally adding a new cartoon to my blog, but I'm trying something new.

I'll write about it later, but I just recently started an internship that has let me keep and iPad for the entire summer!  So I'm going to be using an app I downloaded called Tinker Paint. The drawings won't look as neat as they were, but they'll be more "freehand."

Anywho, on to my story.

So I signed up for a 2D-Design class last semester for my art minor. I was hopeful that the guy to girl ratio would be similar to what it was in my last art class - that is, about 17 girls to 3 guys, and two of those guys would be unavailable. I was also hoping that I would have better luck than I did last time (part one).

So on the first day of class, my wishes came true. The entire class was almost entirely girls. I decided to pic a seat in the middle of the room, in between two girls.

We introduced ourselves to each other and were getting along just merrily. Then I realized I had forgotten to check something.

(like how I'm too lazy to draw this picture twice and just reversed the last image?)

Indeed. Somehow, I had forgotten about the very first rule of BYU dating - check the freaking ring finger. 

Oh well, with one minute before class started, a girl was approaching the empty seat to the right, and I could see that she didn't have a ring. So that was okay.

But then:

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm saving this seat for my husband."

Eff, I thought. Not only am I surrounded by married girls, I will now be subject to gross PDA to my right hand side. 

Two days later.

It was time for class again. This time I decided to sit as far away as possible from the side of the room that had been claimed by the married people, and meet new people.

No rings. . . Sorry, nothing against you married people, but you're just not as fun. And if I'm going to be in a class filled with girls, I don't see any reason why I should hang out with the unavailable ones. Sheesh.

Anyway, I sat down, introduced myself, and started chatting with my neighbors. We joked, we had some witty banter and comedic timing, we played the whole 20 questions game getting to know each other. And then class ended and we all stood up to leave.

Curses.

There's always next semester, right?

P.S. As I'm finishing up this post, I've decided that the best way to describe this art is "Draw Something-esque." By the way, if you want to play me, just let me know! I tend go all out.

Fifty Years From Now, This Will Probably Be Me

. . .minus the grandma part. I probably won't be a grandma.
