I STAND CORRECTED- detachable penis is by king missile.
I didn't fact check. My bad, everyone.
I was just about to ask if BH Surfers covered the song. Glad I read the whole thread before I made a butthole of myself! I also loved REM and still do!
Eta spelling is hard
TOO HARD. Mom brain can't compute.
I have perfectly proportioned feet. I don't know, I like 'em.
@Bookshelves sorry I didn't answer your question. I did go to the Picasso museum- I loved it. My friend that I was traveling with is not a big Picasso fan so I tried to to dwell too long. I agree with you. I find his work more interesting after seeing how well he painted classically.
I feel exactly the same about Goya as you do. Can we meet in Chicago and nerd out together at the museums? Yes. Let's do that. :-B PS- I dragged H through the museums in Chicago. I took way too any tourist pictures at the bean.

Hi, I live here, and I our museums (and you guys) so I'll be crashing. Sorrynotsorry.
I'm not even kidding, next time I'm in Chicago (family there!) we're having a gtg.
I suck at questions... but this whole thread makes me PPH you more. If you ever come to NYC we can go to all the cool museums and then to a '90s party.
We will also eat frozen bananas dipped in chocolate (nuts for me) on a stick because that is the best desert created by god or man.
If you could be on one reality show, which one would you pick and why?
What's your favorite charity?
Project Runway because that shit looks fun. ALAS, I know not how to sew. Also- Tim Gunn.
Any local charity that helps children or abused women/children. I once did a silent auction with my afterschool kiddos and their artwork. We raised over $1000 for a local children's hospital. That was the highlight of working at that particular job. The kids were so blown away that they raised all that money it made me so proud of them. Seeing their little faces light up when I told them bought their work... I cried.
El. Oh. El.
We're in remodel mode, so it's a mash up of destruction-chic, wallpaper madness, with a touch of too-much-junk.
LO's room is the only room finished. We like in a old craftsman home, so it's like that + ikea.
I also would like the website! And to come to the gtg. I lament not living near anyone...like anyone at all my house is so isolated! But we have repeatedly talked taking the train to Chicago for a weekend excursion, and seeing the Art Institute. Mostly to see the Seurat because I want to appreciate the dots in person.
And there is an artist name Chris Jordan that did a series called "Running the Numbers" and one of the pieces is Seurat's "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" in aluminum cans. His description: "Depicts 106,000 aluminum cans, the number used in the US every thirty seconds." I saw it in person at was CRAZY and repulsive. All of his work is kind of amazing.
Who did you think you'd be at the age you are now?
What would you tell younger you if you had the chance?
I thought I'd have my life together at this point- in some aspects I do. I thought I'd be done having kids by now (HAHAHAHA). I imagined having a career in journalism, which I obviously do not. But when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I always said, "happy".. and in that case I am living up to my goal- in multitudes. I am incredibly happy and incredibly blessed.
I would tell younger me not to be a doormat. And to listen to my mother. And to stop being a stress case. Maybe I should tell my current self.
My diet evolves constantly. I was vegan for awhile before my pregnancy which I loved. I started eating salmon for the nutrients, and I love it, plus it makes me feel better.
I will eat chicken every once in a blue moon, but I do have a lot of guilt eating meat/animal products.
So long story short- no not really because I eat salmon regularly.
Also yes, I do love tofurkey. I refuse to eat red meat or any kind of sausage product- barf- so tofurkey is a good substitute for extra flavor.
Are you messy, OCD clean, or somewhat clean?
Bahaha I WISH I was a clean-freak. I'm somewhat clean. I'd say our house can be messy, but there's a difference between messy and dirty.
I am incredibly picky about organization, however. And once this effing remodel is over [-O< I will care a lot more about how my home looks.

What is your favorite genre of music? ( my classic question)
What was the single craziest thing you have ever done in your life?
Music- "alternative" or "indie" ... Whatever it's called.
I've peed in a lot of strange places- out of sheer desperation. I'm not a crazy person. I'm boring.
Where do you do your painting? Do you have a dedicated studio space? What would your dream studio look like/where would it be?
I have a studio in my home. I would love to have a detached studio with big open walls and a glass garage door. I would love ample storage space. Concrete floors meant for messes. Natural light. Giant sinks. Heat. Ladders. Empty white space. *le sigh*
Re: 1linedrawing AMA
Because they are pretty. Tulips because they are simple.
I also like orchids because it's a little harder for me to kill them.
I have perfectly proportioned feet.
I don't know, I like 'em.

ETA: I know I'm normally hilarious, but that saucy comment wasn't an intended pizza pun.
I'd really want to observe great minds in their element.
*or in my own house when I'm not home. I imagine my dog is something like this:

I also like Liquitex.
On Seurat:
This is my favorite Seurat reference EVER.
