Breaking down new beariers of self abuse.

Last year I spent many long days working until ten at school. I believe my record was 14 hours straight in Heritage. Who knew there would come a day when I would scoff at such numbers.

Back then I might have been at school for that long, I wasn't working the whole time. I had a boyfriend, friends and class to distract me. But NOW when I say that I was at school for 20 hours in a row, it was devoted entirely to work/class. You can rest assured that between 5pm and 7am at the Visual Arts building on a sunday night / monday morning, there are many distractions. Not that I know anyone at the school anyways.... Right, so. Here are the numbers for the night:

14 hours spent on drawing project (pictures to follow)
4 hours spent in class
2 hours spent on breaks if you add them all up.
TOTAL (as I mentioned about) -20 hours.

I kind of proud in a masochistic sort of way. Not of the end result really, but of the effort I put into it. It wasn't even all last minute, I worked on it pretty constantly all week.

Speaking of the drawing... It was a full body self portrait, 3' x 5'. It needs a few changes but for the most part it was well received. It was described as having a "tom-boy-ish femininity", as being "androgenous" and as making me look like a "dyke". All of these things amuse me.

when I get around to uploading the picture I'll post it.

Til then.... to my new obsession: Heroes!
