San Diego was sunny and a lot of fun. I think I ate too much though. Sometimes going to SD intimidates me, esp with the crowd around me all the time. I always feel like I need to lose weight and get a fashion consultant. Anyway as we basked in the San Diego sun, Rox and the gang came and introduced us to Brian. How can you not like a guy that likes Scrubs and can kick butt at Tetris?! Good choice :)
At the party, Emmer came as we were about to leave. We caught up a bit and he and invited me to his graduation. I've always wanted to check out the UCSD campus, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it. We'll see. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if we settled in SD instead of where we are now. I'd probably be one of them, and I don't think it would be a bad way to go. Although I don't regret living near Los Angeles and making friends outside of my cultural niche even though it makes me an outsider/stranger within my own group so to speak.
Today my dad had surgery for his arm due to the car accident a few months back. I know he's been freaking out about it since he was told he would have to get surgery. I'm glad he came out okay. I hope his shoulder heals quickly.
Today I also I drew my first realistic looking rose with my pentablet. I really suck at drawing roses. They're so generic and yet I have major problems drawing them. Sometimes I get the angle and shading right, but usually it ends up a mess. As I was finishing the design today I decided to color the rose in and give options of red, yellow or black. At one point, while I was shading in the red rose, it began to look real and I just kept going from there. I'm nearly done with my friend's tattoo design. I'm actually proud of myself for getting to a decent point without restricting my creative freedom. You have to design to a customer's liking without compromising your own original style. I'm lucky in a sense that Jae and I think a like artistically even though we don't necessarily share the same taste or style. It's times like these I wish I had taken an anatomy class so I could get a better understanding of bone structure, muscles and movement. Human form can get so complicated to draw.
