I am in art at the moment. Year 11. Just messing around on the computer because I decided to drop it for year 12. It isnt that I dont like art, its just, that as a school subject it is much too subjective. I have what people would class as alternative perception, and it really isnt appreciated. Plus, my manic moods, mean that I can't stay inspired with a year long major work, because my mind is everywhere. Art to me is an expression of emotion, but considering my emotions change every minute, its hard to concerntrate on an individual, tangable expression, when it soon becomes inexistant, and is rapidly replaced by other emotions.
A little bit upset. At lunch today, an "apparently perfect" christian girl questioned my choice on studying religion next year. The comment "Why are you doing religion, i mean you're so not religious?" In reply, i said I was actually buddist, and the comment in response was "No your not!" I guess its hard having to justify your lifestyle to people, and the fact that her comment was based on her opinion of my morality, I was slightly cut. Then I got the "so i assume you dont drink then.." comment. In reply, I said, i do not have an overwhealming desire for alcohol, but, i will have a drink once in a while. Therefore, people jumped to the conclusion that I wasn't really a buddhist. Ignorance is a struggle, as my claim that buddism doesnt dis-allow drinking, but merely dis-courages it, as intoxication can lead to the implementation of negative activities. But... none the less, they refused to accept my buddhist beliefs... But of coarse its ok to accept that a mob of celebrities converted to Kaballa, in no way as a publicity stunt, but because they genuinely appreciated the religion.
Today I "borrowed" the bag of soap from the soap dispenser in the school bathrooms, just for shits and giggles. It looks remotely like a pink goonbag... (example of ADHD)
I am pleased to know that I have one reader on my blog. :) .. just thought I'd let you know.
Another post later tonight.
Cheers

You could possibly use your manic moods to create small pieces of work. Think of them like very small projects that you don't have to put a lot of time into, but you are able to experience the essence of creation and feel successful about producing a work.
I would love to see your works. Do you have a digital camera to take pictures and post them on your blog? Let me know if you do because I would love to see.
My husband is an artist and artists are very intelligent and interesting people. I'm very happy to have met you! :)
I'm sorry you were upset at lunch today. It sounds like you were speaking with an ignorant person and I think she needs to be educated a bit (she needs that religion class!).
I see a huge wall between religion and spirituality. To me, religion is man's response to spirituality. People like to put things neatly in a box and you can't do that with spirituality. However, with religion, you can take the spirituality and apply man-made rules of telling society what they should and shouldn't do and then the religions become the equivalent of football clubs...one is on the Christian team while another is on the Catholic team, etc.
Why can't we all play together?
I love spirituality, but religion has really put me off over the years. I am still trying to figure it all out.
It's great that you are taking a religion class. I enjoyed taking mine when I did years ago. It was great and I learned a lot.
Seriously, don't worry about these people. It's not even worth the energy. As long as you feel that you are going in the right direction, you're doing what you're supposed to.
I'm pleased to know that you have a blogger that reads your blog! People everywhere should read your blog because it's good. :)
I'll be back. Don't let anyone get you down...you give your power away to people when you let them get you down. Take your power back and feel good about yourself! *hugs*
