Just can't help it...

3pm... Out of res, in the Jacaranda labs, on the internet...

I’m going to leave as soon as I post this...


It’s a stunning, cold day in G.town today, so nice after having 40 degree weather for the past week... I was on Facebook a second ago and read my sisters updated status, it said, "I miss my sister today" I cried. I have never been so far away from her for so long, well that goes for my whole family, but it's different, you see, my sister, is my more than my other half, she is my piece of evidence that life, love and reality is actually existent.

Camilla-Rose Smith is a mermaid, a water Avatar… She is extremely beautiful, and far beyond her years. At the age of 16, she knows and has experienced more than so many others her age… She is so intelligent and just a light, an extreme light of goodness, almost like an angel, except livelier and much more precious…

Milly is my best friend, and since the day she was bought into this world I have done nothing but love her and grow more and more attached to her, she means more than the world to me, she teaches me how to be.
We have grown up being known as the most amazing sister couple, as we are so close and never fight...
The only person that knows me, the only person that makes me feel me...

The hardest part of being here is not being with her.

Still have not gone to the studio, actually rethinking it... I just want to finish the book and maybe next weekend can be drawing weekend...

Tonight is an Astrosoc strgazing event in the Bot gardens... hope it works out even in this overcast weather, Oh yes, was able to look through the extemly cool telescope on Tuesday night, could see Orion Nebula.. 

Before I leave I must quickly say, While drawing the beautiful, black, naked figure standing infront of me, I couldnt help but giggling, not because she was naked, not because a whole bunch of art students were drawing her, not because of anything vaguely immature, but because of what I was told back in school, "Aimee, I hear you are going to Rhodes University, and you are going to be studying Fine art, well I just want to tell you, you can not get caught in the spirit, the spirit of evil and the spirit that causes you to draw naked people. Do not get caught up in the spirit. Stay true. I was at a Wits exhibition the other day and all that people are doing is nudity, it is so bad, the devil is sucking them in, my daughter was there and she had to see paintings and photographs of penises! andf people having sex. shes TOO YOUNG! All Im saying is, enjoy it, but art can lead to danger and dont let anyone force you to be in that spirit, it will overtake you. Are you sure art is what you want to do?."

I laughed again when the lovely Christine Dixie, art studio prac, senior lecturer, said to me on my first art project, "I love your idea, I love the nudity, I think if you want to better it and get an A, you should make it more sexual, paint the goat with an erection and maybe instead of soccer balls, do penises..."

I laughed.

Art is my life, my life is this...
