Trip to, heave and ho; Up, down, to and fro- You have no word
I renewed my PO box but after December I probably wont be able to afford it anymore. Unless I get loads of penpal love to give me inspiration to keep it. It's to the point now though where my paychecks aren't enough to keep me floatin so this is my last gift to myself. Take advantage of it, people! :)
I've decided that the third person to send me an actual letter (not just "HA I SENT U SUMTHIN" in an envelope) will get something extra special in return. You can't choose what it is and you wont know you've won until you get a reply letter, but it will be very nice and you'll know you've won.
This is partial incentive to get people writing again, and partial excuse to do something nice, and something free, for my penpal/watchers.
You still have the opportunity to be my penpal, if you're interested. All you need to do it note me, and I will send you my mailing address.
I think I really did a number on my arm from that photograph I took. I'm pretty sure one of the burns is badly infected. Aloe vera helps. I just wish it would stop hurting and heal already. But I ripped up some old pants today and now I have fabric bandages that I've wrapped it with. It feels a lot nicer than band-aids. :)
Anybody have any natural remedies other than aloe that might help with burn wounds? I'd really, Really appreciate it.
After my gift art is done, i'm going to attempt to make a bunch of random original pieces that aren't necessarily personal, but will be more like practice runs. I might also hold raffles for a new and interesting concept that i've come up with in my head; Song arts. These pieces will be drawn around songs or lyrics from songs. Not sure if it's a good idea but whatever, I think it makes for some fun practice, yes?
I'm just trying to come out of this uninspired coma. I am putting my big cardboard art project on hold because the person it's for has cut all ties and essentially abandoned me for whatever reason they have, and so i've lost the inspiration to finish it at this time. I need to clear my head and start on other things. I need to be more active and draw what I love.
I hope you all are doing well! Let me know you've read this journal by giving me some input on anything i've said above. If you have no opinions or input, then tell me what your plans are for the summer. :)
Peace n' love.

I'll send ya some love with a letter ^^ It is all ways heart warming when one gets a letter now-a-days. I have a couple stamps left that I would be more then happy to use! Just send me your po address please ^^
I really really hope you are okay Icy, it would be sad to see something horrible happen to you.
Anyways, I have two burns from that photoshoot. I had installed a little makeshift wick to my arm and taken some photos, but it was on the underside of my arm, the really soft part, so it burned quicker than I thought. Pretty sure one of them is a third degree burn and i'm not even about to post pictures of THAT. :C
I'd really love a letter dude! I mean, i'm not trying to force people. But I do really love letters, and i'd be willing to be anyone and everyone's penpal as long as they didn't mind sending the first letter. ^_^ I'll toss you a note.
I'll shoot ya letter as soon as I can ^^ I would love to hear from you! Probably brighten up my summer!
As much research as i've done and as many documentaries i've seen, I still can't fathom everything that is happening there. But as of last Wednesday now, China has banned all aspect of travel to Tibet. So now, no tourism, which means no profit to this place. It's really a horrible situation and I fear that the Tibetan culture is going to disappear under this tight and threatening grip. I'm planning on selling prints soon, with a good hunk of the profits going toward organizations that help Tibetan people.
I hope it heals, too. I figure a picture is worth 1000 words. It is a form of art and a form of protest. My wounds will heal, eventually, but the people's lives who have already been lost will never have the same pleasure. Only thing i'm worried about is the fact that the burns might've been too deep. I'm hoping my good ol' immune system kicks into gear and starts forming some actual skin soon. x_x
