~Procrastination Time!~

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their selves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

@3 & 4, not going to bother as most people on my flist have done it. If you haven't then go right ahead.

1) When working with charcoal, paints, or ink I'm always just a little more messy than I need to be because no matter what comes out of the piece I always feel a bit more like a 'real artist' when my hands/forearms are filthy and various parts of my face and body are smeared with marks.

2) When I was a little kid I wanted to live in the ocean. I learned to swim fast and spent a lot of time in the pool or ocean wishing I could breathe underwater. Even though I realized it would never happen long ago, I still feel really at home when in water.

3) I love climbing and being up really high. Since I have a good sense of balance and absolutely no fear of heights this sometimes pushes me to do things that makes those who know me worry a little.

4) For nearly half my life I took gymnastics.

5) I own 28 gargoyle statues of various sizes, most small enough to hang out on desktop areas. One day I hope to own a really big one and have it hang out by my front door and, hopefully, ward off the evils of door-to-door flyer hangers and overly religious folk.

6) I have this irrational hatred for the Venus de Milo.

7) When I play chess I always play black since I like to see how my opponent opens before making a move.

8) While I knew I was gay all through high school I dated a guy for about a month in my freshman year as an attempt to get rid of some of the male attention I was getting without coming out and to satisfy my parents. I kind of feel it was a horrible thing to do, especially since I chose him because he liked me so much he'd accept any level of attention without complaint(the most that occurred was hand holding) and was rather harmless. I probably wouldn't have included it on this list if I hadn't heard yesterday that he got married a few weeks back in an arranged marriage.

Re: #1 I do the same thing. For some reason when I have stuff all over my arms and can make a mess on the tarp (protecting the floor) I feel like I'm actually being creative.

1) I know what you mean! Living and being one with your art! =D

2) I pretended I was a mermaid a lot and had the same wishes. There's a level of isolation being down in the depths I always loved, and the weightlessness gave a freedom that put me worlds away.

3) I was terrified of heights for a long time (due to falling out of a tree backwards when I was 12) but I used to force myself to walk across beams and other scary height stuff until I conquered the fear. I do love sitting in a tree to read a book :)

4) Very cool! I'm flexible, but have absolutely no coordination! LOL!

5) Gargoyles are made of awesome ;) you should pic spam for us!

6) Venus de Milo?

7) Me to! I just like to go second and play defense I think

8)Arranged marriage? Really? As for dating a hetro to look normal, it sounds like it was a good experience in the sense that you know now what you really want without the what if? hanging over your head

#8) Yeah, I was considering that. A girl I know liked me a lot, but yeah ... arranged marriage? That's interesting. I never knew that that happened in North America.
