Bubbly Water

I got bored and made this.

That's all I got for today.

Working on Wreck This Journal

I finally have had some down time to work on it again (even though I should be working on school projects).
The problem is that once I start wrecking, I get kind of obsessed and do around ten pages at a time until I finish them, and then I taper off after a day and forget about it.
So this is the cycle that my work has fallen into, and by tomorrow I'll be back at school and will forget about the whole book until Christmas break.
Probably.
But for now, I'll show you one of the pages that I think I'm basically finished with. I did it late last night, because that is the best time of day for destroying your journal for some reason. Perhaps it's because its dark and you turn up your music loud (on your headphones) and you just finished a jar of Nutella and everything is working out in the world.
Well, you know, for me at least.
So here's the page!

P.S I was really twitchy when writing this post so sorry if the words sound funny. I look back on this and don't think that the order and flow was superb.

Dinosaur in the Desert

Honestly, I can't really explain this one. It just sort of happened and I was thinking about New York.
Good luck trying to interpret it!

All the Things

This (I guess) is supposed to be a self portrait. For some reason, whenever I draw myself, I never put a face. My mom (a clinical psychologist) told me that this signals something like that I'm unsure of my identity but I told her I just suck at drawing faces.
And she's like, "Oh, yeah well that's a reason too."
And that be the truth.
But I guess I wrote "all the things" because my mind is usually everywhere at once.
Today (the 26th) I can tell you that on my mind there was:

• packing to go to Thanksgiving
• making a t-shirt design
• trying to fix the design when I screwed up
• work for an English project
• the idea that I should be working on AP Gov and Spanish
• the name of a song my friend showed me the night before
• charging all my electronics
• finishing my book
• cleaning the bathroom
• thinking about Catching Fire
• thinking about where I put my black tank-top
• thinking about Marvin (who is still stuck in the black hole)

So yeah. Usually I can separate stuff, but sometimes I feel like I just need to sit down and focus on one thing or try to meditate, which is super hard for me since I need to keep moving and ultimately trying to plan ahead.
Caring and sharing time for all. Catch you later.

Blue Ombre (1st Thanksgiving Doodle Post)

So this is just me being bored and doing some ombre. I love the trend and how the colors meld into the next, and sometimes I'll try it on my hair with hair chalk. Except the colors usually run into each other, and I'm also running out of the blues and purples, which are my favorites.
When I first started doing this one (out of boredom) I though it sort of looked like fish eggs.
Yep.

Thanksgiving!

Hey y'all.
Now I know that not everybody celebrates Thanksgiving, but it is probably my favorite holiday. You get to spend time with your family and catch up, you get to share a really tasty meal together, and then you play dice games for presents and you steal them from one another at the end of the game.
Oh, you don't do this? Then welcome to Bonco.
Anyways, I decided to post up a couple of doodles from my little kid program and what they are supposed to be/mean for the next couple of days. So I hope you enjoy!
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving and holidays!

Black Hole

I don't know if I've said it before on this blog, but I know I have told my friends and some of my family that I have a black hole that follows me. Except I never know where it is. But it sucks up important things and spits them out (usually after the time I need them) like my turquoise ring, my long, knee-high socks, my War-Heads stash, my umbrella, and my lemon flavored mouth guard. I have lost all these things for around a couple a months, and then POOF! Out of no where they appear, and of course it doesn't matter as much since I have gotten past the time where I needed them.

(www.eusoulucas.wordpress.com)

But this time it  has switched two items, and I need one back.
My cat, Marvin, has disappeared, leaving our house about a week or two ago and not coming back. I'm pretty sure he's with another family since he's pretty friendly, but then something happened on Saturday to make me think otherwise.
I was digging in the back of my closet trying to find a bag, and as I saw it and grabbed it, I heard something plunk out. Something very familiar. Something that had fallen out of many of my bags and down steps and out of cars.

Guys, it was my phone.
AND I FREAKED OUT!
Naturally, I chucked it back in the closet and ran away, and when  I was sitting on the bus later that morning, I realized why it had appeared.
The universe had made a trade.
After all my pleas for the return of my phone, it finally answered, but took an unwilling victim (MARVIN McNUT) in my phone's place. And so I want to trade again.
But I don't think that is going to happen.
Don't black holes just suck?

Probably the drawing I am most proud of besides my ghost pickle.

I Could...

... be studying for a chemistry test, but instead I chose to do this!

The largest realizations come right after you put on some lip gloss and go wait for the bus.
It's the truth.

Moving Images

I draw on my hands. A lot. It's not that I think tattoos are super cool (although I love learning the meaning behind them) but I just like how the designs look jumping across my fingers. I usually draw the same symbols every time (especially the birdcage modeled after Florence Welch's) and they usually appear when I'm bored or a bit stressed. When I'm desgining what I want on my hand, it takes my focus away. I think henna is really cool too, and hope to try it someday, hopefully soon!

(Kind of got smudgy...)

(doodle on my thumb)

Do you do anything like this?

That moment when...

Your teacher sees you doing something weird with your friends and starts doing it too.
It's great.

(I colored this magic truck on my little kid program while avoiding homework)

That is all.

Annoucement

The first person to comment on Meadow Inferno will receive a prize!
Since I have no money, I will draw whatever they would like on either my little kid program, in pencil, or charcoal, as long as it's not inappropriate.
Also, I suck at faces.
That is all.

Doodily-Whoop

Whoo! Go fun title that I came up with instantaneously because I had no idea what this post was going to be about!
I enjoy going with the idea of the moment.
I was doodling yesterday, and I was trying to draw a cartoon version of me, but then I ended up doodling some more so I got four chicas instead of just one.

The girl second to the left was the one I was meaning to look the most like me, wearing a dress based on  the one I recently got on sale from Urban Outfitters that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!
I also learned that Marvin's mouth upside down is one of the scariest things I've seen in awhile.

Well, this is right side up so turn your head sort of sideways or something.
NOW YOU'VE GOT IT!
Anyway, back when I was a little kid, after I gave up being a manatee trick trainer, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I even made up this character named Pango, who was a penguin, and even drew a strip for him. I wonder where it is now?
Maybe if I find it I'll try to scan it and put it up here for all y'all to see.
But how is life for everyone?
I still need to finish some summer assignments, and practice bassoon, and get ready for the next two weeks where I will be super duper busy.
THEN IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL, and I'm pretty sure I' m one of the few children in the universe who enjoys going back to school.
But I'm okay with it.
For the ending of each post (at least for August), I have decided to end with a piece of artwork, just because I enjoy staring at art as much as I enjoy educating people about it in the easiest and most non-annoying way possible.

Dead Mosquito in my Bathroom

Dear Dead Mosquito in my Bathroom,
Please leave.
I know that this is impossible since you are dead, but somehow remove yourself from my bathroom. Your carcass makes me cringe and I'm afraid to pick you up and deposit your body in the great outdoors for the unlikely reason that you will somehow become a mosquito zombie and bite me and it will be painful and unpleasant.
I know that it is my fault that you lay decomposing on the linoleum next to the bathtub, after I was really angry and I swatted you out of the air in my room with a towel. I watched you limp/flutter over near the floor by the sink, and with a dying breath, collapse in a jumbled bug heap, and watch as the cruel, cruel world fell from your sight.
I'm not really sure how you got near the tub, be it by cat or gust of air from the sighing AC, but you need to leave. It's really a nuisance. Think of the children you are inhibiting from using the shower and cleaning the bathroom. It truly is a problem.
Sincerely,
The Girl Living in the Yellow Room Where you Began your Descent into What was a Dark Journey to the Underworld.

 (uh,huh this is my bathroom with a tiny hole in the toilet)

If y'all didn't read the last post then you surely aren't going to understand why this one is weird. Okay, here's a gif for everyone.

Both Jennifer Lawerence and I enjoy food. Just to let y'all know.

Distracted

Hey everyone.
Today I was super distracted for some reason, but I just think it's because I'm thinking about summer and finals and business and work and quizzes and everything. I sold out my box of chocolate so YAAAAAAAAAY! No more guilt! Or bothering people to take candy from a stranger (i.e me, but they are paying for it anyway).
I had more free time than usual, so I was listening to music and browsing the internet and then I drew these pictures.

Yeah, all I can say for this one is that I wanted to play poker. Sadly, I have no one to play it with. I learned how to play Texas Hold 'Em in fifth grade during indoor recess, but all we bet was stuff like erasers and marbles and crap we would find on the playground.

Oh, and this one I was drawing random scribbles and I thought this one looked like an abstract chameleon. So I kept it. My brother was like, "Anything can be abstract. It could be an abstract tomato for all I care!" Whatever.

Hmmm... free time. I don't like it all the time because it just lets me procrastinate on what I could be doing like studying or working or doing something important. You end up in that weird part of Youtube and then things just go downhill from there.

One thing I do like to do in my free time is look at The Burning House, a website in which people enter pictures and descriptions of what they would take if their house was burning. I love the way that their possessions are arranged, usually on the floor, and the different items they would take. It shows what really matters to people, and for most it's different but very personal.

If I would do one, I really have no idea what I would take, but one thing I wouldn't take would be my phone. Many people include theirs (but they are always iPhones, so I guess that would be more important than what I call my "ghetto phone"), except that I know I would sort of like not to have it so people wouldn't constantly be trying to contact me. I don't really like being plugged into this world, so even though I have this blog, I'm not really communicating to anyone in particular. It's more for myself, and also to remember stuff because I know that I'm eventually going to forget.

Okay, enough of slightly serious stuff. Hmmm, we need some gifs up in here!

OH MY GOD, PIZZA-JOHN-NYAN-CAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

(www.epicjohngreenquotes.tumblr.com)

This was on one of my favorite Vlogbrothers video. I like the Thoughts from Places a lot, and this one was especially funny.

(www.tumblr.com)

Obviously I could only think of John Green today, but GIANT SQUID OF ANGER!

Ugh why can't it be summer already? My house is hot and we're having water problems and I just want to run around barefoot and eat vegan burritos and gelato and lay out on the driveway and nap in the sun (after applying sunscreen, of course. Skin cancer is a serious matter, kids).

What shall my poem include today?



 

Wish I was a squid,

Sinking into the darkness,

Cool water soothing.

 

Apparently I'm thinking about squids too for some reason.

Brain shutting down.

Look what day it is!

Oh goodness. Okay so yesterday I know I didn't write and that's because I really didn't have any time to. I know this is an excuse, and I am filled with them, but I can't really change that.
Also, today is LOVE A TREE DAY! So go celebrate and tell all yo' 'lil tree friends that you don't just like them, you LIKE-like-like them.



(www.confessionzero.blogspot.com)
 

Actually, while looking for a picture I found this, which made me think of a pregnant mom with tree bark skin holding her unborn child-stomach, which I thought was really awkward and funny, but I guess that's what they were going for.



(www.anonymousartofrevolution.com)
 

Muhahahahahahaha. So again I am procrastinating to do work which is okay as long as you do it eventually, so all is good in the hood. It was really hot today, but my toes are painted electric blue, which made me think of Alaska Young from Looking for Alaska by John Green. It's a really good book by the way, so make sure you read it (but if for some reason you are reading this and you are younger than high school age, wait until you are a little older). I kept looking down and smiling and it made me happy all day.

Yeah so now I'm wondering if I were somehow to be eaten if I would taste like coconut. I had coconut milk curry, coconut gelato, and I love coconut lotion. Coconut fudge Oreos are the greatest, and coconut M&M's make me swoon. I like the smell and how refreshing it is, along with the sweetness and tropical part of it. Coconut water is also awesome and is really refreshing. Just don't let it get warm like I did, then go back to your hotel room after a day of whale watching and take it out of your back pack and swear you just took a swig out of a rotting, rancid coconut you found on a deserted island.

Rancid coconut? Ehh it's a bad drawing.
Okay time to actually do work I guess. Listening to Over the Love by Florence + the Machine, which is my favorite song out of the Great Gatsby album. Still haven't seen the movie yet. Maybe in June.
Poem time.

Blue toenails sparkle,

Mirrors and little galaxies,

Unnatural but loved.

Okeley dokely, chicos y chicas, go spread the word of how awesome the world is.

No TIME

Okay so this is going to be one really long run on sentence here it goes okay so I don't have that much time today I was super busy but I'm trying to commit here and post everyday I'm not sick so I'm just going to do a poem and maybe a doodle and then I will possibly add some gifs, alrighty?
(P.S Spellcheck wanted to change that to almighty which for some reason I found quite amusing.)
Here it goes, y'all. Sorry about being sort of jerky 'bout the whole thing.

When will summer come,

No plans, no huge commitments,

No more hyper speed.

Look, it was even a haiku this time.

Alright, DOODLES!

My hair with hair chalk in it.

 

 

Monster I drew.

Poorly drawn bracelet.
Okay gif time!

Humpy Hank! Goodness, I love that. (www.tumblr.com)

Screaming Patrick! Yaaaay! (www.weknowmemes.com)

What else? Hmmmm.... LSP! I love her so much. (www.tumblr.com)

Night, everybody.

Ughhhhhh.....Chocolate

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I don't want to eat chocolate again for a REALLY long time. I just downed a caramel-chocolate bar from the box I'm supposed to be selling a I REALLY am feeling the pain. Being sick and getting food poisoning in really annoying. But no matter.
Yaaaaay I'm excited to sleep in tomorrow wheeeeeee! Oh, shout out to you readers from Russia! Every day I get on and see that you are reading and a little bubble of happiness floats up towards the sky. If you are clicking on accident, who cares! Tell your friends and maybe they will be like, "Hey, this girl is weird maybe we should keep reading to make sure she is okay....." I appreciate all the help I can get.



(www.aliexpress.com)
 

When I typed in "funny helper", this came up. I enjoyed it. A lot. Actually, a lot is an understatement.
Hmmm let's see. What could I talk about? Not much I guess. You know, the sky, cats, sparkles, glitter, sequins, happiness, stage makeup.......
Nope I got nothing.
Well I could make a drawing I guess.....

 

Yep, that's a poorly drawn version of me dreaming about coffee.
I actually haven't had any in a while since I wanted to break my addiction that came about during forensics season, and I've been doing pretty good. It's been a week now. Also, coffee stains your teeth and that can get icky so I 'm working on that too. I haven't even had a chai tea latte in at least two months.

Alright I have things to do, so poem time and I'm out.

 

Please don't crunch your food,

because I don't want to know what you're eating,

it's annoying,

and I don't want to see what's in your mouth.

I guess it's delicious since you

KEEP

GRABBING

MORE

AND

CRUNCHING

FOR ETERITY.

No, I really don't have to know

what you enjoy

about sucking in

so much freaking oxygen

with your food.

Yeah, obviously not a haiku, but definitely one of my biggest pet peeves.

Rainbows for all!



Please go here to read this article by the ever funny Allie Brosh about sequins. Also read her blog too, Hyperbole and a Half .
Sweet dreams, chilluns. Sweet dreams.

Well..

I feel like writing something since I haven't in a couple days, but I don't have much to say. Just being myself I guess. Things I'm observing now:
1. There is a heart drawn on my leg. I remember doing it but not really why.
2. There are tests tomorrow. I can study later.
3. My throat hurts, but I feel like screaming or singing loudly. Ow.
4. I want to ride a roller coaster REALLY FREAKING BAD.
5. I want this week to be over.
6. Writing feels good, even if about nothing.
7. I'm cool with having freedom in writing since nobody is reading. HAHAHAHAHA SUCKERS!
8. I have the urge to write poetry. About dumps. They are deep places.
9. I want to sleep outside. It's really nice.
10. I sort of want to draw too. I'm in an artsy mood.
11. ROMPERS! I want to wear them. ALL THE TIME.
12. WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS VERY FREEING.
13. Derp. I'm done with this list.
Well, that kind of sucked. Sorry about being a downer, Amber. Yeah that's who I choose to write to (still going with DDG, I wonder how long I can keep this up).
Poem time? Eh, I don't feel like writing a haiku.

Suck it world today

I do what I feel

like doing if I want

to CAPITALIZE

EVERY

FLIPPING

WORD

I CAN.

Spellcheck means

nothing to me

it's guidelines

to a world I

don't necessarily have to

be part of.

Every moment is

my choice

to become a person

who hopefully

changes something

or

someone

for the

better.

Dang, I'm tired. At least I tried to do something today. Listening to Florence + the Machine helps a lot. Check her out if you don't already know who she is. I mean her music. Don't be creepy. Drive safe. Be the person you wish to see in the world. Or something like that.

Okay the picture decided to be stupid so guess what, I'm going to keep it where it is. YEAH YOU STAY OVER THERE YOU RANDOM PAINTING OF NOTHING! I'M GONNA DRAW AN ARROW OF SHAME! WATCH! LOOK!   ---------------------------------->

That's all the enegry I have left. Bye.

 

EXCITEMENT

WHOO HOO! Hey guys!
I'm back from my mini trip to Busch Gardens and D.C and I had a super fantastic time. Oh yeah I forgot I am supposed to just address one person. Hmmmmmm..... okay got it.
Dear Annette (hehehe still DDG),
Upon returning, I have been excited about many things. Well, I'm always excited in general, but whatever. Here's a list.
1.OH MY GOD I LOVE LISTS! Okay, that one doesn't really count.
2.Great Gatsby Soundtrack. I read the book last week since I really wanted to see the movie but didn't want to go in without the prior knowledge (jeez, the book was great). Anyway, the movie looks pretty good. After watching some trailers, I wanted to know the soundtrack. So I looked it up and listened to some samples AND OH MY GOODNESS, IT BLEW ME AWAY AND I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR MAY 7TH SO I CAN BUY IT ALL! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But I digress.

3. Roller coasters. I found out that I love roller coasters. A lot. Maybe too much. Sadly in all of my pictures that you can get at the end of the ride there was the same dopey face of me being like a little kid who has had WAY too much sugar. Also I laugh manically. Sometimes I scream. Once I yelled "I NEED TO HICCUP". The other patrons were either afraid or enthralled by my randomness. It was great.
4.NUTELLA! We all know that I love it but now I really want some. Wait a sec. Here let me give you an image of what I'm doing to get it.

(www.tumblr.com/tagged/chubby%bubbles

Mmmmmm it's pretty good on green apples too.
(Side Note: If you knew how long it takes me to post it would make you very disappointed in me because it takes me FOREVER to get all the links, photos, captions, and general layout of a page.
5. Tomorrow. Not to sound like Annie or anything, but I always look forward to the good things to come in the future, no matter how big or small, which means back to school! (Notice I didn't say waking up to go there.) YAAAAAY MAKE-UP WORK!
Whooo! It's haiku time!

Black and white photos,

Gone is unnecessary,

Character remains.

Isn't this true? Free People Blog was talking about this, and I couldn't agree more. There is a certain quality that comes out it pictures when the color mask is stripped away. You get to see the true nature of the person/object/place, and you get a better feel for it. You see the hard and soft of the lines, it's movement, the reason why it is what it is.

Whoa, going deep in the ocean again I see.
Hmm...should I add a picture? HECK YEAH!

Octopus dress? What do you think?
(P.S Spellcheck doesn't think Nutella is a word. WHAT IS THIS TREACHERY?!?!)



Loretta

Hey y'all! Look, I acutally remembered to write for the second day in a row! Whoo personal progress!
Okay, since I know that nobody is really reading this blog (I'm allowed to see a graph in which I realized the peaks were from me checking to see if the posts actually showed up and stuff, sad, I know) I feel like I could write better if I was writing to an actual person beacause, hey, I enjoy writing extremely long letters about nothing in particular. Meadow Inferno is a terrible name though, so until I can think of a person that I feel like addressing, I will just use a random name.
Dear Loretta,
You happen to be one of my favorite characters from the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous. Well, your name at least. You are a fictional reader who I choose to write to in this time of need. Heck, tomorrow I will write to Gladys. But it is not this day.



 

(hehehehe yes this is what I'm doing at this time)





Yaaay go memes. They are truly the bestest.
Okay, Loretta. So now I enjoy using the program on my computer to draw things, and I have been told that I "drew something almost exactly like it when you were 5". The program is pretty fun. It gives you a lot of different colors to utilize and there are stickers and different mediums and it is just overall great. Look what I made just the other day!

So this is a pretty good representation of me since the hair is pretty much perfectly out of control and who wouldn't prefer to be in a shrine of grapes because, face it, grapes are basically the most accessible fruit. If there is a bowl of grapes, and they are not gross and wrinkly and fermented or anything, they will be eaten. Also I tried to draw the shirt I call my Depression-Commercial shirt, but that didn't really work out. Maybe I'll show it to you some time. With my swan pants.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the haiku thing! Hmm, let's see........

Grape soda scares me,

Real grapes don't inspire fear,

Artificial does.

Actually that could be perceived as pretty deep, but oh well. Deep is where you need to go sometimes. Along with hot pretzel places at the mall! One of the best dinners I had in a long time was a cinnamon-sugar pretzel with fudge dipping sauce and a vanilla latte. Sometimes you just need a pretzel to show you how sweet life can be.
