Ask- Assumption- ASS Meme

Eh, why not. I haven't done one of these in a long ass while. :) Make some assumptions about me and I will tell you if they are true, false, or necessitate launching you into outer space via cannon. Ganked from

All it takes to get the cannon out is the following:
" Imma guessin you are a bona-fide God fearing Republican who believes . . . ( insert some random Bible Belt gibberish here ) and thinks those alternate lifestyle types should ( insert some more religious nonsence here ) and finally those artsy types should ( insert some moral majority opinion here ) "
Right ? :D
chuckle
This is part of the assumption thingie.
I believe we are doomed anyway.
Every piece of artwork I have ever done, I zero in on all the flaws I know are there. I know where I took shortcuts even if no one else sees them. I know the dirty little secrets, failures, and shortcomings. I know the long hours I spent being frustrated when I couldn't accomplish something. I see, in every piece, years of trying, comparing myself to better, more experienced artists, striving for some vague and ever distant goal over a blurry horizon. I know the happy little accidents that have been praised as genius. I know all the places in every piece of art in my entire body of artwork where I gave up or stopped caring or just couldn't do it anymore.
I know the places where I got lazy or annoyed, where I compromised my artistic integrity. I know every little place where I spent hours doing and redoing the same thing over and over. I see my oversights and lack of understanding. I see the bad decisions I made to please other people. I see every little blemish, everything I coulda-shoulda-woulda done better, every attempt to break out of my mold, every attempt to achieve something bigger, something better, something that will impress people because ultimately, that's all I ever wanted- to impress people.
Nearly all my self-esteem is tied up in impressing people with my art because at the end of the day, even a decade and a half later, despite all my "healthy attitudes" and "maturity" and "self-affirming mental checks," I'm still that fat, curly-haired, awkward 15 year old girl who thinks her only reason for being alive is to make artwork.
Now that sounds awfully dour, I know, but believe it or not, I am actually quite happy because I also see where I have succeeded. I see where I climbed a mountain, stood on the peek, and ass-skied down the other side with a stupidly shameless smile of triumph on my face. I see where I danced naked with my middle fingers in the air shouting FUCK THE WORLD, I DON'T CARE. I see where the doing and redoing paid off. I see where I achieved something a better, more experienced artist did not. I see where I pulled off a very difficult feat to great effect. I know that I refused to become complacent with my art. I know that I have done the best I could to uphold my artistic integrity. I see that I have refused to become a copy machine, that I always try something new. I know that I have put in many long hours of hard study and practice. I see every little spot where I refused to give up. I see where I was resourceful, inventive, and clever. I know that even if I'm not the best of the best, even if I will never be the best of the best, I'm still a pretty damn decent artist, if I do say so myself.
So to answer your question, yes and no.
Sorry about that. Don't know where all that came from. O__O; Heh. It ain't easy being me. :P This is just a glance of what it's like inside my head. My mind is a ravenous battleground with a big mouth that never stops talking. Sometimes I just want to shove a sock in it and shout HEY, SHUT UP! I AM TRYING TO LIVE HERE.
If there was one thing I could give you, it'd be the ability to see your arts from this side. ;>
Also, thought you might find this amusing:

I assume you've viewed audiences in this light before. :D
Satan: Correction: The old LADIES were traumatized. The old men? Best fucking day of their lives.
Me: Hey, next time, do you think you could possibly spontaneous Chip n Dale dancers? Don't leave the ladies hangin, man!
Satan: I don't know. I've never done spontaneous Chip n Dale dancers before. Let me try *face scrunch*
*Rosie O'Donnell suddenly appears center stage.*
Me: DUDE. WTF!? That is like the polar OPPOSITE of a Chip n Dale dancer!
Satan: YIKES! Don't know what happened there. Let me try again. *Face scrunch*
*A T-rex suddenly appears next to Rosie O'Donnell*
ME: DUDE. O____O
Satan: SORRY! Jeese. My mojo must be really off today. Let me try again. *face scrunch*
*Meteors begin falling from the sky. Rosie screams and runs away. T-rex begins having PTSD flashbacks*
Me: HOLY CRAP! STOP STOP STOP! WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING, STOP!
Satan: Sorry! sorry! I- I don't understand what went wrong there. Let me try one last time. *Face scr-*
Me: NONONONONONO! I don't think we'll survive another attempt at spontaneous Chip n Dale Dancers! Just.... Spontaneous strippers and we'll ORDER Chip n Dale dancers if we really need them that badly. Jesus H tapdancing Christ! *face palm*
*Jesus appears in a Chip n Dale dancer uniform. He looks very confused.*
Jesus: Ummm......... >.>;
Me: O_____O;
Satan: O___O; ......................... :D Well, there ya go! Problem solved.
Oh, and was Satan at least able to get Jesus to do the Chip-n-Dale dance? Then the old ladies wouldn't leave empty-handed...
Why do you think I use this account and fursona and not my old ones?
It actually got that bad. Sadly, trolls are a part of life, both on the internet, and in real life.
There is a sometimes easy ways to deal with trolls and hard ones. Sometimes no real way at all...
By the way, can you ask satan if hell really does have cookies and rock music? I'd hate to commit myself to going there only to discover that it was actually false advertising!
Ok, lemme see... What should I assume about you?
I assume you've never been to Scotland. But maybe you should come and visit sometime, 'cos I'd REALLY love to meet you!
(Even though I'd probably end up going all "starstruck fanboy" on you, thus necessitating launching me into outer space via cannon... If you do, can you try to aim me at the moon? I'm thinking of building myself a moonbase, so I've got somewhere to escape to if Scotland fails to get independence! I shall chill out in there, stealing internet and satellite TV from passing satellites and look down on the Earth and laugh at all the people doing silly things down there. Also if NASA ever decides to send someone to the moon again, I shall play practical jokes on them, making them think they're being stalked by a weirdo moon alien! hehe).
But alas, I must disappoint! For I am actually a giant dorkasaurus with an avoidant complex who gets easily tongue-tied. XD
Things changed when I started routinely having crises of faith arund the age of 18. Eventually I fell out with the church and fell out with belief altogether. Now, I am an ignostic agnostic-atheist. :B

(you my dear are I believe the only non belly dance brides maid XD Gooble Goble Gooble Goble we will make you one of us! ONE OF US ONE OF US! ((Extra points for the movie reference there)))
But I KNOW the other gals will teach you. It'll be something that will play up to everyone's talents. So do you know the movie reference? do ya do ya do ya?
The movie is "Freaks" done in 1932 featuring actual famous side show persons, such as the remaining female Pin head, and other such fun things.

On a similar note, I forget if you watch American Horror Story, but the new season is called "Sideshow" and it actually was inspired by "freaks" And *drum roll* takes place in.....
1950's Florida! Where one of the few last remaining side shows is! (though IRL the only active side shows are at Coney Island. My dad is kind of a side show enthusiast. I have a glass eater shirt from Coney Island and stuff, but I digress)
I mean, Florida is the PERFECT place to do "American Horror Story; Sideshow"
Cause Florida is 3/4 to totally there already :D Just go to wal-mart!
