we all die. the goal is not to live forever. the goal is to create something that will.

i'm 18 years old. i've lived in grand rapids my whole life. i have ten piercings and two tattoos and there will be more to come. i like going to shows downtown geee arrr. i hate winter. spring owns. for the first time in almost three years, i have a boyfriend (november 18, 2005). were probably the cutest thing ever.im a nice person. its hard for me to be mean. art owns my life, but thats cool because only art students can say they get to draw for homework. i dont sleep. my record is 45 hours in counting. i stopped going to 2D design because i was doing poorly and nothing made sense to me. so when i tried staying up all night to work on projects for that class, id find myself unable to even get up in time for it.my parents are not going to be happy, but i choose life! im excited because im getting the hang of this html web formatting stuff. my original goal for coming to gvsu was to become an upper level high school art teacher, and then possibly get my graduate so i could be a professor. well, i really dont know about it anymore. i know my life after school will consist of art of some sort, but in what field, i do not know. what is the prime age for enjoying life? i suppose its all relative, but whats that perfect age when you dont have a lot to worry about but you have a lot of freedom? is it now? was it when i was in high school? will it be when im done with college? life has been one big question to me lately. for the first time in my life, im getting a reality check. see, ive never had to try that hard to get what i want. everything has either been handed to me, or ive barely had any competition. ive never failed at anything major. ive always been a good student. top of my class in art and getting A's in all of my art classes. college has definitly opened my eyes though. the average grade is actually a C, not a B+. i guess im actually being really challenged for once. im enjoying it, but its definitly been a struggle mentally, emotionally, and even physically. i guess my main concern is not failing at life. there are just times when i feel like i will.
i have a myspace, a xanga, a livejournal and a facebook.
