sorry to scare some of you by writing a dramatic post, and then going off the air. i’m okay. just been laying low this past week.
i spent a lot of energy explaining my current situation to all of the people around me. friends, colleagues, collaborators.
finished week 12. 11 weeks left.
feeling like i might be getting sick, so trying to lay low.
oh, and my psychiatrist gave me new meds. i’m officially on anti-psychotics. seroquel. i’m only taking a baby dose of 25mg. a proper psychotic would be taking 600mgs. i guess i’m not a proper psychotic yet.
damn, i can’t wait for this to be over
wahoooooooooooooooooo 11 weeks, so close, almost there!!!!
If you don’t own it/know it, I think you should read The Little Engine that Could
and as for going psycho, don’t all great artist at some point? 1 point, at least, for your artist cred badge for that one.
They’d so beat the science badges:
artist badge #1
been put on anti-psychotics
artist badge #2
chopped off something
artist badge #3
naked for art
artist badge #4
solo gallery show
artist badge #5
have a “benefactor”
i love the idea of Artist Merit Badges
#1 though, is def “naked for art”
I agree, naked for art, I would also like to add:
anti-depression/anxiety meds (this is like Artist 101 before you can even get the badges in my opinion)
then maybe an addiction badge, a wearing black badge, taking yourself too seriously badge and eating a unusual diet badge (vegan, gulten free, no yellow foods, whatever)..
bonus point badges for:
drinking coffee black and wine, never any water
smoking
working only at night
having european lovers
wearing black framed glasses
using ‘juxtaposition’ in daily conversation
