So I can, like, get famous doing this, right?

I've got a livejournal where I drivel, had a myspace for a few days and loathed it... Maybe I'll give this a try, hm?

Hello. My name is B and I'm an alcoho... wait, that's not right :)

I'm a senior at Mississippi School for the Arts in, well, Mississippi. Visual arts major, love the whole paint on my face and clay under my fingers bit. Born in Louisiana, raised in MS, currently, desperately aching to leave the South and all of its heat, charm, fried food, and illiteracy. Of course, like every other humbled country mouse that has scampered before me, I want to live in a big city -- New York, San Francisco, Chicago -- without ever having been there to experience these places myself [excluding San Fran, it was wonderful there]. Knowing that there are tons of scary surprises waiting there for me, I still want to go and no amount of talking has seemed to persuade me otherwise as of yet.

I like to write, draw in ink, revel in music, avoid cigarettes and pot, be conceited, rack up more photography skills, and... basically be a stereotypical bohemian [except my hair is pink and I don't wear a beret that often].

I've taken Latin, one year of French [didn't learn a thing], and a few weeks of Japanese, which I am continuing to study on my own. I hope to visit all of the countries with these languages [Latin would be Italy, I'm supposing, or maybe Spain - the languages are close], especially Japan, which I am more fervernt about learning.

There's a thriving monster inside me who loves music and I devour it every moment that I can to appease him. And of course, since I don't like to eat the same thing everyday, there is no one type of music I listen to. From Miles Davis to traditional Chilean music, to L'Arc~en~Ciel, to Bob Dylan, to Fergie, to Ladytron, to Nat King Cole, to Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Billie Holiday -- I like a lot and my Ipod is my constant companion.

Currently, I'm struggling to complete a satisfactory porfolio that will meet the standards of America's top art schools. The places I'm aiming for are the School of Visual Arts in Manhatten, Pratt in Brooklyn, School of the Arts Institute in Chicago, and several others, and a back-up school, Mississippi State University. Monetary issues are the biggest problem with acheiveing success in these schools, but I'm determined to go anyway. I hope to major in graphic design, computer animation, digital arts, or illustration, I'm still trying to decide which I love more. We'll get back to that later.

I'm probably over-ambitious and crazy, but at least I have a spot away from friends where I can write and not have to worry about social themes as much.

So, until next time.

おやすみなさいおよび…幸運
