If I could do this, I wouldn’t do anything else with my life.
so for my art project we had to fake a death/murder. for mine I did someone who had jumped off a building. when I was laying down while the picture was being taken, 7 people came running up to me asking if I was okay and if I needed an ambulance etc. I’ve been suicidal for a very long time, and the thoughts of jumping off buildings and ending my life have gone through my mind a thousand times. But the fact that people actually stopped and came running over to see if I was alright made me see that people do care, strangers care. so many people looked and walked past, but these 7 people some how took these suicidal feelings away… weird huh? But the moral of this story is that people do care about you, even people who don’t know who you are.
if you don’t reblog this, fuck you
oh my god this is amazing
“When you’re in high school everything can seem painful: either painfully boring or painfully disappointing. But after high school you can look back on it and see that it was all experience, all vital life, and it can be used to make art.” - Palo Alto

Saw Stephen Fry live last week, and he told us this story: Just after the first Harry Potter book had been released, he was offered the role of narrating it for audiobooks. He hadn’t read it, and was simply told it was a children’s book, so figured it would be an easy afternoons work. When he met JK Rowling, she mentioned that she was writing a sequel. Stephen replied very condescendingly “good for you”.
A few years down the line, the books are selling well, and he is doing the recording for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when he runs into the phrase “Harry pocketed it”. Stephen could not say this line. It always came out as “Harry pocketeded it”, unless he said it ridiculously slowly. They tried time and time again to get it right, but to no avail. Eventually, he called up JK and asked if he could say “Harry put it in his pocket” instead. She thought for a moment, then said “no”, and hung up.
The phrase “Harry pocketed it” appeared in the next four books.

Today, I fucked up… by ruining a $300,000 piece of art
I work at an art gallery, and sometimes move around very expensive art pieces. Well, last week I had a terrible ear infection that gave me vertigo. I called in sick, but my boss told me I had to come in. After taking a tremendous amount of medicine, I felt alright, as long as I didn’t stand, move, or breathe slightly.
My boss asked me to move a piece of art work, and I obliged because I’m an idiot. Not only did I have to move the artwork, but I had to put it up high on the wall because of the way we place our art. I had to get on a ladder and everything was fine until I started to get dizzy and dropped the canvas. The framing popped open, the glass shattered, and the canvas had a tear in it.
I was near tears and my boss runs in and starts freaking out. Although I work in a gallery, I had no idea what was and wasn’t expensive. This particular piece is worth $300k, and the artist, who is very well known, was loaning it to us.
I haven’t been to work since and my boss let me go home early that day. I wish she would have just let me take the day off.
TL;DR Boss forced me to go to work, I damage $300k worth of paint.
Updates!
