this week is going to be hard for a silly reason. the student teacher in my english class is trying to psychologically immerse us in fahrenheit 451 and i don't know if i am mentally capable of handling the assignment. he's asked us to forgo some form of technology for a week and my proposal was that i stay off tumblr and facebook because i couldn't think of anything else i invest so much time in. i don't even use the toaster that much and i eat like 100 metric tons of poptarts a day. but i figured it'd be easiest to write about those websites--tumblr, especially--because i basically live there.

it's only been a day and i've been wanting to check tumblr since i woke up this morning. to distract myself i played skyrim for a few hours and then drew for the rest of the afternoon and evening--so i still spent the whole day using electronics, but not those two websites. i guess i got some art done, but i was still cemented to a desk chair with my eyes locked on the monitor the whole time.

and the only reason i was so determined to get the art done is because i am allowing myself to still post drawings on tumblr, but i can't like, use it. i can only post drawings and then leave. and yet i still feel strangely, remarkably comforted by that nondescript blue background, if only for the two minutes i can see it every time i finish a drawing.

i'm so hilariously pathetic.

ethan tried to teach me how to do a sideflip today and i'm awful at it.
