Lady Pyre Jesus Christ, Lor. Marriage, motherhood, scrap-booking? You're, like, 20-something going on 40. D= I have a gazillion friends who are in thier early 20's, unmarried, and unbabified who love scrapbooking and cardmaking. heart When you live somewhere where it's either ridiculously hot or ridiculously cold 75% of the year, you find inside things to do. Besides, I doubt many 40-year-olds make layouts quite the same as mine, mine tend to remind you of tshirts you find in Garage Clothing or layouts you find on cute blogs. And I don't know many 40 year old who spend time debating whether or not to write anything on thier drink page and then voting not to because anyone who's had a b*****b will recognize the drink and anyone who hasn't will probably be offended by the name. Besides, my parents will look at my scrapbook, and my mom doesn't know the drinks we mixed her at the afterparty from the rehearsal had such an offensive name. I just called it Bailey's and Butterscotch Ripple Liqueur, and she threw them back. mmm... blowjobs.... liquid candy... edit: my mom is 40. whee Just turned in february. She doesn't like scrapbooking. She reads entertainment magazines and does toll painting, though. She just flips out awesome s**t, it's obnoxious. We decorated flowerpots for centerpieces for my wedding and me and the other girls put out one to her every 3. Embarrasing. D:

Kilana Lor; Holy crap, at least you're good at scrapbooking! I'm terrible at it, mine always look so plain. I very seldomly do it, even though it's something I would like to finish. We were wrangled into doing it in school for our senior year, and it was kinda retarded, but meh. emo I should have had you work on mine! ;D Uh yeah, this came out of nowhere. I had to do one in highschool too and it was ridiculous. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to describe. It was like, the MSPaint Stickman of scrapbooking. Then again in HS they gave us scissors, markers, and whatever the name of that cheap crappy coloured paper is, and told us to go at. Now I have a stockpile of embellishments, two huge pads of paper that I wish I could wear because it's all so feakin awesome, and some magazines with awesome ideas. Now i've got more an idea of what i can do with it, and it's a totally different ballgame. Don't tell pyre i'm going to start sewing too, she'll write me off completely. ;p But i've seen some cute patterns and I think if I could get good at it, it would be freakin sweet to be able to make my own clothes. I've already had one person say if I turn out to be good at it she'll buy s**t from me, just based on liking my sense of personal style and what I do with scrapbooks.

My mom started scrapbooking when she started having things to scrapbook - aka her honeymoon, and kids. She was in her late twenties. heart
I have a lot of young friends who like to sew too.
40-year-women aren't supposed to have TIME to scrapbook. o__O
And the prime of your life is over, so why not start when you still have a pretty young face to take pictures of?

Nothing wrong with sewing. I wish I could make my own clothes. I rarely see anything in the stores I like. But realistically... I'd probably start working on a shirt or dress and then never finish it.
Scrapbooking is just so monotonous to me. I mean... I have the pictures. I don't want to spend hours cutting out patterns to make them look pretty on a page. ._.

When I had to do my senior scrapbook they made us get our own books and supplies. That's probably why mine came out so shitty. I wish I could develop scrapbook talent -- actually no, I just want that talent to go towards my drawing and writing. Yes. That's it.

Soranoko I'm too design challenged to do scrapbooks or anything, and my coordinaiton is too bad to sew or anything. ; 3; Lor, I find it disturbing that your mother is younger than mine. I have a friend who's dad is older than my grandma. My grandma is like 60. I'm the oldest, and I was an "oops" toboot. XD But yeah, my mom is pretty young. She looks older though cos she started going grey in her twenties. By thirty she looked forty. I got my dad's hair. He's 46 and has his full hairline and a little bit of sparkles are starting to show up in his sideburns. Haha. I'll be 50 before I have to start worrying about dying my hair, and by then I might not care. But my husband starting losing his hairline as soon as his teens ended. His brother is only a few years older than him and his is pretty far gone. So our kids are 50/50 on goodhair, just like i was. edit: I have a friend who was half-bald by the time he was 19. He first tried growing it out longer to hide it and that made him look like a creepy older guy, so he buzzed it short and since he's whiteblond it's not so bad now. Still kinda funny though because he was one of those YES I AM SUPERHOT kinda guys in highschool, and then by grad he started balding. BA-ZING! Pyre: I scrapbook like I do everything else artistic - fast. That really awesome layout with the red and black I put together in maybe 15-20 minutes from the minute I pulled everything out to when everything was put down. I could put down three pages in an hour if I didn't do most of my scrapbooking with friends and thusly spend most of the time talking. haha.

Mmm... I doubt I'll dye my hair at all. I really don't have any intention of cutting it, and some streaks here and there don't look so bad with longer hair. I kinda like it, actually. Silvery grey... so shiny.
My grandma's hair is still long. I've seen pictures of her when she was my age and it was shoulder length, but she grew it back. Less styling, I guess. I don't think I've ever seen her leave the house without it pulled up in the stereotypical granny bun... haha. She was a hairdresser, so she hates messing with it more than she has to.
And I would probably do more artistic things if I weren't so slow at them. I mean, I've done stuff that came out pretty nifty in the past and all, but I'm just sooooooo damned slow at it. I remember I took art classes in high school and I was always one or two projects behind. Looking back, I kinda wish I'd taken drama, but... you had to take public speaking to qualify. Booooooooring.

it's kinda funny that i can scrapbook but i can't make a photo album. you know how you can get those albums that have little paper tabs for you to write stuff, even if it's just who or where?
yeah, those failed for me. I have a few I started and never finished.
I think I can scrapbook because there are pretty thingies. Pretty paper, pretty stickers, pretty embellishments. Notboring. <3

Callagraph printing plate.
I lost feeling in my thumb after I completed it.
From pressing really hard on the exacto knife for over an hour straight.
Yum.
Anyway, considering it's evolved from a simple line drawing,
I think it reads pretty well.
Makes pretty prints as well.
I'll scan those when I manage to swipe 'em from class.
P.S. I hate printmaking.

Aw... I liked print-making. But mine didn't make very good prints. Mostly because some b*****d stole the good ink tray from me. And after I sprinted to class to get it first. ********. stare
He already made 20 prints the day before. And they all sucked. Because his TEMPLATE sucked. But he had it in his warped little head that somehow having the good ink roller would make it all better. It didn't. Just made it so mine turned out crappy, too. -_-

There's a story that goes with it, kinda. If anyone is interested:
Basically, the setting is a zombie apocalyptic world and the characters are me and my friend Josh (but I'll refer to me as she/her/Casey.), and this was something that happened in a table top roleplay (like D&D).
Short version:
Casey watches her dad get ripped apart by zombies, runs away like a coward to try to find her friend Josh. When she gets to his house, no one is there, so she cries in the car for hours without hope. He shows up (he's come back to the house for supplies) and when she gets out of the car, all she has the energy to do is fall to the ground and cry some more.
I typed out a whole long version (which is also a short version of the real version), but I decided against posting it lulz)
