CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[SandySu]

If it passes Rave's critique. I didn't even show her the last one when it was done because it was a disaster. It would have been really cool. There was a huge full moon with a wolf's face on it but I just couldn't get the damn eyes right so I erased the whole wolf and used a silhouette of a wolf and that turned out fair but I really screwed up the Mts. & trees so nobody gets to see it. I really want to do trees so I need to do a lot of practicing on those.

Trees are hard. So far, I've only tried for a suggestion of them, not details.

I was going for suggestion of trees but got carried away on the prominent/closer trees and messed it up big time but that was just one of many problems I had with that drawing.

Trees are supposed to be hard. If they aren't, they fall over.

That sounds like something I would say.

 

[JerryRM]

Speaking of trees, it would be so much nicer if they sucked in their leaves in the fall, and spit them back out again in the spring. Instead of throwing them all over the ground.

Terry, want to drive yourself crazy drawing a tree? How about this photo?

A piece of cake, Sandy. Ya draw five vertical lines and then draw a bunch of squiggly lines all around them.

OK, Jerry, you do it and show us your artwork.

OMG! I'll have nightmares thinking about that!

Er......my camera broke....yeah, that's it....my camera broke, so I can't take a pic of my masterpiece.

 

[tmcase]

Ok Sandy, you wanted to see a drawing, here is a quicky sketch of your raindrop.

 

[Uncle]

"turn to "Yourself" and look within "Yourself". Does not compute. I'm always inside my head. I'm a thinker but I can't block what's outside my head.

I only have 1 gun now and nobody is gittin it!

Oh...and I know all about walls.

AH - Well then you are half way there . . . Now - Put on "Blinders" (Like the type horses wear during a race). Once you can in-vision them - remember to be focused on only one thing - What you see in "YOUR WORLD" . . . It's "YOUR WORLD" and Who You Decide to let in or not let in is all up to "YOU" . . . I know some might say it is selfish to do so and it is, but however it is "YOUR WORLD" to be safe and comfortable even with people around "You' . . . Does that make any better sense to ya' . . . Keep It Simple and More "Philosophical" by being "Solution Focused" and looking at the "Positive" possibilties - Not just the negative ones that "You" see at the time . . . More importantly, it is up to "You" to define and/or accept the situation as "YOU SEE IT" and not just by listening to what people tell you is the reality of the situation . . . It Is Ironic, but so true - "It's Their Reality As They See It" - Not "YOURS" . . .

OH and BTW: I don't want - "YOUR" GUN . . . I want something better then I have . . .

I really quite relieved to read this. I was a bit worried about what your take on all of this might be because I know that you are professionally trained to understand human behaviors. My behaviors never have, nor ever will be considered "normal". And ... I don't care. I'm happy.

It is easy for most to have a great time at a party, but it may be very difficult for them to have an equally good time alone. I prefer solitude and wish more than anything that I could get it again! As much as I love my son and his fiance, I will be very relieved to have the house to myself again when his house is built.

HEY - I hate to dis-agree with "You", especially given that "You" are "My" Friend . . . However, IMO both Personally and More Importantly - Professionally - "YOUR" Behaviour Is Very NORMAL ! ! !

AND - You might be amazed that it is Quite Normal for many other people too . . .

NOW - If "You" were to tell me that "You" are "Quirky" and Very Different from everyone else - I would absolutely have NO ARGUMENT ! ! ! with "You" there . . .

BTW: Welcome to the "Being Quirky People & Different Club" and have a seat next to "Me" Please . . .


Now - If more people were only honest with themselves about who they really are - "We" ALL would be so much better off today . . . Just Sayin' . . .

IDK Uncle. I don't know how to envision being in my safe, quite, little cave (my home) when I'm in the middle of hundreds of people all talking at once. I'm afraid the positive will be when we leave. I'm really looking forward to seeing and handling all those cool guns but I'm not so sure it's going to be worth the price. We'll see.

 

[JerryRM]

Terri, those people in that room aren't superior to you. Don't be intimidated by their presence. I have been there, so I know what I'm talking about.

They don't intimidate me. That's not the problem. They annoy me. If everybody was quiet it might not be so bad.

 

[JerryRM]

Oh Terri, that's not a good attitude to have.

Here is an interesting article about creativity and various psychological disorders.
http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/uncg/f/P_Silvia_Dimensional_in press.pdf
I recently read a newspaper article which says that creative people have serious problems manifesting that creativity when they are anxious. That article seems to support that. Maybe people who value their creativity seek to de-stress their lives in order to be more creative. I can't stand horror films. And when I started writing, it was on an anxiety-producing topic, so I guess I was desensitizing myself from PTSD.

That makes total sense to me. However that article you linked wasn't very conclusive. I do know that I don't feel like drawing when I'm anxious or depressed about something.

AND - For Some people that is exactly what they need to feel to do some of their artwork . . The more emotional they are the more emotional and brilliant (IMO) their artwork is too . . . Just as an example - look at any of the later works by Vincent van Gogh and compair them to the ones he started producing in the begining of his career . . .
