I dunno. Dancing? Playing flute?

Yeah, let's just go with dance.

12 years of classes.

Always in the back because of height, general lack of talent - BUT YOU CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY.

Because I worked my ass off that summer, and I won grand prize.

Edit: apparently you are not allowed to see those videos....Welp, I'm keeping them here so that at least I can see them...Have a picture from the contest instead.

Jeezus. What a fat, ugly duckling. Can this even be considered my talent.

Anyways, these are all before I drastically changed (stopped being heavily overshadowed by others and my own worries).

YOU KNOW ME. ALL MEMORIES ARE VALUABLE MEMORIES. EVEN THE NOT SO GREAT ONES.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends.

At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think.

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
