Okay, it's not actually a depressing Journal, I just like that song (by Seether) and kinda think it fits my news in at least a tiny way.



This Tale of Woe Begins as Such:

We're doing acrylic painting right now in my Art class, and we're replicating famous paintings.
I'm doing Separation by Edvard Munch (the guy who painted The Scream) >> [link]

So I spent the better part of an hour mixing the colour for the background (the sky colour). Mind you, ~Santonator was there with me, and she can vouch that I wasted my noon hour mixing the acrylics together to no avail.

I gave up and went to the teacher just before the bell went. I said, "I'm trying to mix this colour"--*points to background of painting*--"with this blue and white and grey, because that's what it is, but I just can't get it. Helpsies please? :'D"

She looked at me and laughed (a nice laugh; not mean), and said back: "You need red in there. That colour you're trying to get is a lavender, O'Connor, not a blue. Are you colour-blind at all?"

WHAT?

It's so totally blue, the background colour! D:
_{Well, it's actually purple, but it looks blue to me. CRISIS!}

I can't tell the difference between light blues and purples!

DOOOOOOM! D: APOCALYPSE. I TELL YOU, THE WORLD IS ENDING.

...


That's my news of the week. I'm colour-confused/colour-blind. Like my dad. But he thinks the purple in the painting is brown, so he's no help. :'D

Happy holidays, though! ^_^ Hope your break has started better than mine!
