Remember how I said that I was going to make it a goal to blog more on here this year, even if it was just a quick catch up? Yeah, I'm sorry. I haven't been very good about that, but I'm here do catch up as promised.
I'm here to recap the epic moments of my life so that you all assume that my life is epic 100% of the time, even if that's far from the truth. Here we go...
1. I met Smallpools-one of my absolute favorite bands
A very good friend of mine and her sisters attended a Smallpools concert a couple weeks back and it was spectacular. Our elbows were on the stage, I was a foot away from Joe, the bass player, and we were singing our hearts out the all of the songs-including some of new tracks off of their album Lovetap which is debuting in exactly two weeks. Now you're probably thinking, "Belle, where does this 'meeting Smallpools' come in?" Well, actually right now. So after the concert we all went upstairs to grab some food and one of the opening acts, Yonas (who is in fact NOT related to the Jonas Brothers in any way... joking), was milling about and talking to people so we took our chicken strips and cheese curds and sat down to eat them. Anyways, Yonas left and not five minutes later, guess who comes down the stairs...SMALLPOOLS!!!!! I was close to spitting out the cheese curd I was eating, but I had to remain calm. This was the opportunity I needed to chat with one of my favorite bands and I wasn't about to look stupid in front of them. So I waved at Sean, lead singer and pianist, and he wALKED OVER TO OUR TABLE, CHATTED, AND ATE OUR CHICKEN STRIPS. What a night. After a bit he went back to join the band and some people started taking pictures with them so I told Kenzie that this is yet another opportunity of a lifetime and we got photos with the band. It was unbelievable. Sean even had to go and buy his own chicken strips after, so naturally we said goodnight and to enjoy the chicken strips.
ENJOY
2. I finished my Prismacolor pencil drawing of a skull
And I'm really proud of it. It's very detailed and it looks really realistic. I put a lot of time and effort into it so I'm glad I enjoy it, and this only means improvement from here, which makes me really excited. This photo was taken before I added several more adjustments to the dark portions, but I'm too lazy to photograph it again with the little paper watermark so just imagine it slightly adjusted.
3. I've been very busy
Thinking now, I haven't had time for too many over the top exciting things lately with the trimester/semester quickly approaching an end. It's over now (thank God) but recently I've just been hanging out with awesome people, jamming to some music, creating art, and trying to keep my head above water. Future endeavors include concerts and travel (what's new) and more Europe posts which I stopped like five months ago! I'm beginning to shift into summer mode already which is slightly dangerous, but that's probably due to the fact that it's now 60 degrees outside (YES!!!)
I hope you've enjoyed this little tiny bit of my life. I'll be back with more soon. BYEEEEEEEEE
