Happy 2012!!!

I didn't get to my post today but i will in the morning. Hope you all have a fabulous year!!

Day 3- 8 Fears

Well, I was afraid this one would come up. ba dum cha!

1.) Centipedes...just writing the word made me want to cry...and looking at it makes me want to as well...I don't like my friends even saying the word...I'm traumatized.

2.) Lately I have been afraid or thinking about fires and people losing everything and what would I do if I lost everything. Next place I rent I am getting renters insurance for sure..I am a bit OCD...I check the stove and toaster over before I leave for work...

3.) Drowning- next to fire drowning would be just as bad...I do not like to swim in deep water that I can't see the bottom or touch the bottom if I want to, swimming pools are okay but I do not swim over the drain.

4.) Oddly, as much as I adore children, I am constantly afraid of becoming pregnant- esp being pregnant and not knowing. A friend of mine, his girlfriend was like 16 weeks along before she found out....that scares me! gah! I know I will be ready someday...but until then.

5.) Dying in general...I lost my father and a couple of close family members. With all the crazy cancers and diseases out there I am constantly afraid of dying myself, I have so much to live for and I do not want to lose that or another close family member (my grammie will be the next to go :( ) I hope that I can stop thinking about bad things and just live and be happy- im trying!

6.) Never becoming successful enough with my art- I want people to know my name, I want to have success and solo shows in big galleries! I am afraid that I will continue on through life and not "make it". I have talent and I want to let it shine. Sometimes I feel that I need more confidence and drive to do this...

7.) Germs- I have become very OCD about this...I have to make sure if I or anyone like my boyfriend touches any chemical type thing that we wash our hands before touching food etc. I hate that I have become OCD about it but...it happens. I do not like to share drinks/forks with anyone other than my boyfriend. Bleck.

8.) Bugs in general...I know I already mentioned the worse one of all, but I also HATE june bugs and spiders and basically anything that crawls or flies...they are gross and creepy and make me want to scream. In the summer I run in through my entry way to avoid getting bombed by June bugs etc...sometimes I wait for Al to get to my apartment before I go in so he can open the door and let me run in hahaha, what a wimp. Such an irrational fear that I cannot shake. I'm so much bigger than they are!

Day 2 = 9 loves

Again I will try to make these art related but no guarantees ;)

1.) Penguins! It started with my space penguin drawing and continued from there into many more drawings of penguins and receiving many penguin themed things, especially Christmas items! I have so many Christmas penguin decorations and ornaments now that it's not even funny.

2.) Owls- they are a newer obsession but I now have figurines and this owl picture from Ikea in my apartment...they are cute, I give a hoot ;)

3.) Gnomes - ever since David the Gnome was on tv...I've liked em.

4.) The Boston Bruins ;) (see above)

5.) Sequins/glittery things- umm what girl doesn't? Nail polish to shirts to purses, I love it all! I own 3 sequin hats :)

6.) Prismacolor Markers- I draw all my penguins with these beauties...they are great quality, but also very expensive...oh the life as an artist! BUT I got a new 72 set for xmas from my man <3

7.) Golden Acrylics- good quality paint, I am slowly replacing all of my crappy student grade paint with this stuff....it's expensiveeeee

8.) Hearts (yes that was my foot, freshly tatted up). I love them, I add them in my artwork, and I have things around my apartment with them on or in them...they just make me happy!

9.) My Kitchenaid Mixer - cooking is art, and I love it just as much :)

I did 2 days in a row of blogging, whoa let's see if I keep the 10 day challenge up!
