Re: The Change Challenge

Re: The Change Challenge
Tato gave me a challenge regarding rabbit food: "For the next 3/4 weeks (5 weeks instead so i can have more time), buy some rabbit food that you never heard of before, or that you heard of but never tried before."
Week 1:
Mango and Strawberry juice. - I never had this juice combination before, so I decided to give it a try. It's yummy.
Dried Apples - This was just ew.
Week 2:
Mini Green Bananas. - This tasted a lot like cucumber and banana mixed together, but it was good although I only ate one, so there may be a part of me that doesn't like it.
Mexican Mangoes. - This was ridiculously hard to cut, but I managed to get a few pieces of the edible stuff. I like part of the taste, but I don't like the zesty or tang part taste to it.
Week 3:
Turnip - Peeled and cut, then cut a piece off for myself to eat. It tastes like cauliflower.
Acorn Squash - Baked with butter on it, and added brown sugar. This is tasty, I plan to try it again.
Week 4:
California Black Diamond Plums - THESE THINGS ARE SO HUGE! The last I think I remember seeing a plum was the teeny tiny ones from a tree. ( I just remembered that I did see these big ones before, but I didn't recognize them at first) They taste a bit like peaches. I did have white corn for week for, but I saw these plums and wanted them instead.
Dried Pine Apples - I LOVE these. It's like candy, but healthy. I never had them by themselves before, so here we go.
Dried Apricots - The apricots didn't taste bad, but it was really bland. So no like.
Week 5:
Tato and I were talking once about this food challenge, and I decided to add a fifth week because I haven't been able to prepare some week's 4 turnips since they gone bad--i put those off for a good while because of mommy issue. So I prepared them this week even though it's for week 4.
Parsnip - They look like white carrots and kinda taste like carrots too, with an additional orange/odd taste. Peeled and chopped a piece off to take a bite out of.
This challenge was difficult because it took me awhile to find stuff that I haven't heard of or heard of but haven't tried. Some things like the squash and plums I may have tried, but I vaguely remember it much. Since I didn't remember the taste I took them into the challenge.
This challenge also helped me because I began to cook more, and experiment with cooking for other veggies. I also been fixing breakfast a bit more often when I'm in the mood for it. Hoping I can get this cooking urge good and done with by the time I go to the dorms, then I won't be having access to the kitchen like I do now.

Change Challenge
Do my best to do something with my father. Urge a little more, or get someone to take me to him, or bring him to me. I don't have to make sure it works, just put in more effort.
Well now, this is indeed a challenge for me. Thanks, Luufie. ^.~

Re: The Change Challenge
A challenge given to me by Luufie (and Nightfall) to break my obsession with perfect.
1. Once a day, I have to fetch a blank piece of paper and just start scribbling on it. I am not allowed to think about what I am drawing or throw it away. I am not allowed to use any tools in aiding my drawing or erase parts of it. If I still aim for perfection, I should mess it up intentionally by for example spilling drinks over it or draw a big black line through it and then work with it.
This one should last for at least 3 weeks, maybe even longer.
2. For once a week, I should wear clothes that absolutely do not go together. They HAVE to clash. Have someone take a picture of it and post it.
Will last for as long as #1 lasts. ... Or maybe longer. I don't know yet. ^^; They weren't specific on this one, but I assume 'more than once'.

I'm not insane, there are just a few pieces missing.

Re: The Change Challenge
Lennihan, I used to be so worried about my art, what people thought of it, if it was good enough. I was working with a friend once who was helping me get ready for a show, and we were making these pieces, and I looked at them and almost wanted to cry. I was overwhelmed with anxiety. He was like, what is wrong?
He took one of the pieces, my "precious" pieces, and ripped it up. Said, look, here's what you need to do. He ripped it up, spit on it, took some crayons and colored all over it. He was like, whatever, have fun, enjoy it. I started to smile and come back to life. I learned a lesson here. While he was spitting on it, I was in the middle of a panic attack. I really was. The result, was one of my favorite pieces of art to date. I saved the pieces he ripped up and later made a collage of it. This painting was later featured in the newspaper. I realized that is what the world wants to see the most, is the artist having fun. It's really all about having fun.
Good luck. May you have many sweet hours of fun art making.
cheers
