Days meme - Nine things you do everyday
Mar. 5th, 2015 10:28 pmDay 2 - Nine things you do everyday
1. Drink orange juice. You know how some people aren't really awake/human before they get their coffee? This is me with orange juice. Lately, I've been drinking a glass of blood orange juice as well. I like blood ornages and I need to drink more fluids, anyway.
2. Check fannish email. I check more often than my non-fannish email, although I do check both daily (ish for the non-fannish).
3. Write. Something. Anything. Ideally this includes writing original fiction, but sometimes my brain burns out and I write only ridiculous fic instead. (Like, say, Hannibal/Scipio identity porn where they have superpowers but still set during the Second Punic War.)
4. Draw. Something. Anything. I've been having trouble with this one lately, but I've gotten back into it this month. Currently I'm doing headshots of various characers from the war novel as practice for different faces and ages. Whenever I have no idea for what to draw I will turn to practicing different faces. My art has a bit of a sameface problem and I have trouble with expressions as well, so I try to practice those as well. I think I'm moving towards a more realistic -- yet still stylised/abstracted -- style. Ideally... Actually, I don't know what my ideal drawing style would be. I think I'd like to have my own style but also be able to draw in all kinds of styles. I can do a fairly okay approximation of Art Nouveau, probably because my style is similar already, but I have trouble with everything else.
5. Read. I try to read every day.
6. Listen to music. If I'm not actively listening to someone, I will be wearing headphones/earbuds 90% of the time I'm awake. I live in a space small enough that I can go anywhere inside without taking off or unplugging my headphones from my computer.
7. Wear my necklace. (Does it count if I never take it off?) It's not a religious necklace, but it's of great significance to me anyway.
8. Worry about something. There's always something.
9. Go to bed too late. Probably because I keep staying up to write and/or comment on LJ/DW.
( The rest of the days )
