Well I know this isn't a self portrait that looks like me, or anything of the sort but that didn't work out so I went with what I know.
I'm not one shade of anything, I'm light and I'm dark and everything in between. But at my core I'm good person who's generally happy with who I am.

I have worked for 48 years and now it is time to relax and enjoy life

'Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.'

My four best friends and my boyfriend.
These five amazing people have helped to shape every part of who I am.
I honestly don't know where I'd be without them.

Although there are always mountains,
His strength makes climbing them possible.
When I grow tired and feel my worst...
His living water quenches my thirst.
Although a day may seem dark to me,
His Light is every present guiding me.
There's contentment to be found no matter what's around me...
The beauty of His love for me, never fails to astound me.

The explanation of this self portrait is;I am two people,and this is the best way to describe me. I am two extremes,very dark(obvious), and very bright (loud sense of humour,bright colors,outrageous,funny,satirical,and I like Oscar Wilde.); this abstract has them running into each other,literally,which is what they do in real life. (no,I am not manic-depressive. I never get that high.) Usually,I love chibi-paint,except that now I have the new Java,and since then, the computer repairman says,many sites only have aplets for the old Java,which disenables me from using chibipaint unless I do it this way. Very limited.(which,incidentally,is the story of my life.) I probably should find a site which lets me download a chibi-paint,completely,and then I can change the aplet myself,for the newest Java. I love chibi paint,and now I can;t use it hardly.It's far better than stupid,fucking Adobe Illustrator.ugh.


A lot of the people I used to know, close friends,are dead now, have been for long time, which shows you the crowd I used to run with. I'm still alive,and I'm 63. It's not all fun and games being a survivor,you outlive everyone else, like the Man who Never Dies, but everything else he knows, does. Karl Lagerfeld is like that.(no relation.) He says,"when all your past is over,and all friends with it,your whole era gone,you must like the era you are in." Or,like someone said to me,a while ago,"Old age is not for wimps."

And one character in a foriegn movie said,an old man,
"The only constant in life,is you keep losing more and more."Good summation.Get tough,or don't get old. (anyone who knows website,I can download my own Chibi-Paint, let me know.) (EDIT:SHIT, why did I put a 16 minute drawing in here?crap.ok,it's me,I'm sixteen minutes of fame,that's it, ha ha. )
