The class was a lot of fun yesterday. The model was a girl named Aporella. she looked very different in person from for online portfolio. It was fun though and I got to win a t shirt which I plan to keep as a souvenir instead of actually wearing it.

My friend Suz took this really horrible picture of me that made me self conscious for the rest of the day.

Anyway I probably just gave a little to much information. I wasn't all that happy with the final results of the figure drawing class. The model was very beautiful and her clothing was really cool, but her poses were just way to posed for me. None of them looked natural. I mean don't get me wrong they were cute but just unnatural. Your average human being would never pose in the manner she posed unless they were well, a model. But yeah I think the unnatural poses made it difficult to draw her. The only real drawings I liked were ones I did of her during breaks when she was just standing around and the few I did of her face.

Apparently, she had just come back from touring europe and working some fashion shows there. It was a very nice treat. I went with my friend Suz and after wandering around trendy Brooklin for an hour trying to find the place we got to the lucky cat and shared some brunch and got a decent seat before all the festivities got started. It was fun to walk around but I felt out of place. Every one was dressed all nice and trendy and it seemed like all the people were tall and pretty. Even the guys. To me, atmospheres like that are a bit intimidating cause I am short and not in anyway trendy. My clothes are boring my shoes are old and tired, and well my hair is a fro. Which no one in Brooklin had a fro. I felt like I stuck out like a country, mid western girl on the east coast. Just call me a sore thumb. They had some awesome shops though. We went into one and started looking at hats. We found one that reminded us of our friend Victor. Plus,it matched his green coat, but we were short on funds and we also weren't sure he would like it so no presents for you Victor. HAHAHAHAHAHaaat.

It was really crowded in the class. I had a massive pounding headache so after the 1st 20 minute pose I asked if we could go home. There was still about 1 1/2 hours left the class was 3 hours. They were taking a 20 minute break. I was glad we left early cause we were able to make it back to the train station while it was still daylight. Then, when we were standing in line waiting for the bus suz was drawing and a man and women started asking her if she was in school and we started chatting with them. As it turns out there son worked at disney. I thought that was pretty cool. They said he wasn't an animator but more of a concept artist/storyman/layout kind of a guy. Said he had been there for 15 years. then they said he traveled to india to teach animation. I thought man that is crazy cause I have been doing research and found that there was a person from disney that went to india to teach there and loved it and they said yeah there son was that guy and he started a animation program there. So I was pretty impressed, very small world as it would seem.

They were a very sweet couple. I hope someday to have that whole growing old together toughing it out kind of relationship that they had as well as like my friend Dan and his wife Karen. They really seem to work as a team. Almost like they function as a single individual. It fascinates me when I meet couples like that. You can tell they have great respect for each other and communicate well. I know in relationships things are never perfect, but if you have been with someone for like 10 years and the 2 of you live like 2 strangers that happen to be in the same house and you don't know the ends and out of each other, then I say you might as well have never been married. What is the point of being married when you know nothing about the person you are married too and you can't communicate well.

And you especially should not have kids!! I don't know I don't believe in divorce. So when I meet couples that have good communication and that have been together a long time it makes me happy. I think people these days get so selfish that when they get into relationships and marriages they have no concept of what it really takes to sustain it because they are to busy trying to please themselves. It becomes more about them not wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be tied down to a commitment than it is about partnership. Really the whole point of dating, having a Boy/girlfriend is companionship in the first place right. That is why it is hard for me to understand people that need to bounce from person to person and bed to bed.

After a while I would think it would be pointless and you may as well just stay alone. I also don't understand people that require others to change so they fit into what there vision of a good relationship is. There are no 2 people that are ever exactly alike so how can you ever expect someone to change to fit your needs.

Oh god here I go ranting on marriage and relationships. I should ended here before I get carried away. Anyway it was a fun weekend. happy belated V-day.
