Stay close to me...

Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now
Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow
Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view!
Step aside, go through!

Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now
Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes
The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half!
Scream and shout and do laugh!

Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see

Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna
Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna
Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma!
Því ég mun aldrei!

Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar
(Upp með rótum) með blik í augum!
Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur!

Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)
Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh)

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Right beyond the trees
Show you how you'll be

Stay close to me
Count one, two and three
Up in through your sleeves
Bursting through the seams
Open your eyes and see - You see

Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : You're right beyond trees
Stay close to me : Count one, two, three
Up in your sleeves : Burst through the seams

Open your eyes and see
You see - You see

A Picture Paints 1000 Words

I heard the statement over and over during those early years when I truly began working hard at drawing and just wanted to spend a little time to contemplate the meaning of this phrase.

 Sure, sometimes it's easier for me, being both a writer AND an artist, to draw rather than write. The picture is right there, in my head, and I put it onto paper, giving all the necessary elements to the picture to cause others to react to the drawing and understand the drawing the way I intended.
 But I've heard a lot of writers say that putting a thousand words into a picture isn't possible. I am also a writer, so I can understand this stance, too.

 I guess it isn't possible. I don't know. Maybe five hundred words, but not one thousand. Having done NaNoWriMo, I've written one thousand words a day plenty enough to know it can be remarkably hard. I think that you can communicate a lot through a drawing...and it can be pretty intense to be the one drawing the picture.

 When I drew my most recent picture-A centre-split portrait of Harry Osborne/Green Goblin, holding The Green in his hand, I was VERY wrapped up in the picture. All of Harry's feelings, and his addiction to the drug, were running through my mind, and I really loved doing it. I don't know if I painted 1000 words...but it sure felt like it!!!!

A Post

It has come to my attention that I haven't posted in...well, ages. So...I'm sorry. But I don't have anything particularly to post about. It's been a particularly interesting May. Happy Birthday to my Dad and the many other birthday-people in my family for this month.


Even though every normal girl tends to talk about things she's excited about, or become excited over things that are going to be happening soon...I must say I am neither excited, nor dreading them. I get this churning, sour feeling in my stomach when I think any further than that. >.<


Goodnight!

~A.K.~ (I'll try to come up with more interesting posts, but I doubt it will happen soon. Just wanted to say, yeah, I'm alive.)
