Anyways, this past weekend I did some video work for my "internship" & it was a bit of what I expected, except the part where I drove all the way to Norfolk to pick up someone (the video guy's wife). Crazy, right (more like I felt I was just being used for bitch work)? I must say I felt a bit awkward, but yet comfortable enough to go through with it. So, I waited a while for her to come, but as soon as I saw her walking toward my car I realized she wasn't what I expected (she was described to be as being fresh from the P.I.). She looked unique & "artsy," & as soon as she stepped in my car I could feel this aura about her that made me believe she was... well, cool. We had a conversation during the entire car ride. I found out she moved from the Philippines not too long ago & that she's an artist. She specializes in arts & crafts, but she does paint & draw & the whole nine yards. She also mentioned how she wished she had some assistance to help in her art projects &, of course, I plugged in my services & she was more than ecstatic. I told her how interested I was in making crafts & she insisted I take her old sewing machine to learn how to use one & put it to good use. I really hope this all works out because I have plans of making little things here and there. In gratitude of my pick-up service, Charmaine (the lovely artist I had the pleasure of meeting), gave me this Pear Softie:
Made with real Swavrorski crystals
These are other links of her other Etsy site & an arts & crafts group based in the 757 area, respectively: seaspringlove.etsy.com & 7citiescrafters.com
Besides interning, later that night I attended a small art show down at the Oceanfront in support of my coworker, the fabulous Alex M. I love his photography & I'm glad he lets me in on critiquing his photography every now and then during & after work. I see him going places in the near future.
Random Thoughts:
I need to be creative again//I should get back into playing guitar//I need to organize/clean my room//There needs to be more hours during the day//I love water//I need to save my money better//Starbucks is my vice//I understand now...
